We are transitioning the companion app for The Secret of Langton Manor to a Universal Web App. This follows the same approach we successfully implemented for our latest game, The Green Star, providing a single, consistent version that works across all devices.
Why we are making the move
- Instant Start: You can launch the app immediately via the website. There is no need to visit an App Store.
- Storage & Performance: The app runs efficiently in the browser and doesn't take up permanent storage space on your device unless you choose to "install" it.
- Full-Screen & Offline Play: By using the "Add to Home Screen" option on your phone, the app functions exactly like a native installation, removing browser bars and allowing for offline play once the initial assets are loaded.
- Play on PC and Laptop: You are no longer limited to a smartphone or tablet. The companion app can now be launched on any PC or laptop.
Same Technology, Better Delivery
This isn’t a "light" or simplified version of the companion app. The Universal App uses the same 3D engine found in the native iOS and Android versions. By utilizing WebGL technology, we are able to run the full 3D experience directly in your browser without compromising on graphics or functionality.
Timeline for Native Apps
If you prefer to use the versions from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, they will remain available for download until September 2026. If you currently have a native app installed and are in the middle of a game, you can continue to use it without interruption. However, for all new players or those starting a fresh game, we recommend using the Universal App at the link below. It is the most up-to-date version and will be the primary platform for all future updates.
