How to play Are You Still There?
Play five fake games with PAL, a narrator who reacts when you follow his instructions and when you stop.
Are You Still There? is a comedy about a mobile game and a narrator, PAL, who knows he lives on your phone. There is more than one way to play it, and he notices which one you pick.
The goal
Find the endings. There are 18, and how you play decides which one you get. A shelf keeps track of the ones you've found.
How to play
Play the way PAL asks and he walks you through a tutorial. Stop, run backwards, leave the app, or turn the phone over, and he reacts. When you stop playing the way he asks, he moves you to another game.
There are five fake games: an endless runner, a match 3, an idle clicker, a gacha, and a one button hopper. In Clickonomics, the idle clicker, you tap the coin and buy upgrades with what it earns.
Tips
- PAL offers four optional dares: a staring contest, holding a button, doing absolutely nothing, and the world's longest ad. Each dare has its own secret ending.
- A hint can point you toward an ending you haven't found. It costs a rewarded ad, and it's always your choice.
- The More Games screen takes you back to any fake game you've unlocked.
- Subtitles are on all the time, so the game works with the sound off.
- The staring contest uses the front camera, and only if you accept that dare.
Where to get it
Are You Still There? is on the App Store and Google Play. It plays in portrait and is English only for now. The game page has more on the fake games and the dares, and the support page covers the camera and notifications.
