  • Controls poor

    Just downloaded but can’t use as controls really dodgy
  • Unplayable. Will they ever update it to fix the bugs?

    Controls were tedious, no "tap to go here" option. Sometimes control icons would disappear completely. Then, after the game crashed, the controls stopped working altogether. The character won't move at all. Shame, I was looking forward to the iPad release of this game, it was so good back in 1998, one of my favorites.

  • Orange poop!

    I’m probably biased because this game has good memories attached to it (I played it with my cousin and we had inside jokes), but I really like this game.

    It’s pretty much a straight port of the game so no new graphics or anything. The controls are not great (especially on a iPhone screen. If you have a tablet I recommend using that). Your character is slow and it gets frustrating when you have to backtrack a lot. Some items are really finicky about where you stand in order to activate them. I did get stuck in one part and had to reload the game, but that’s the only big issue so far.

    The plot is somewhat cliche but is presented interestingly.

  • Best Port Ever

    One of my favorite games from back in the day, I almost peed myself when I saw this port.
  • Old school gamer

    So I played this game when it first came out, for the PC. It has always stuck with me because I really enjoyed the story, chaos, weirdness. I was telling my 18 year old son about it and searched it. I was happily surprised to find it on the iPad. Needless to say, I downloaded it for nostalgic sake. I haven’t been disappointed yet. Still has the same feel and graphics. A little old school, but fun! I originally played this game 20+ years ago, and the iPad version doesn’t disappoint. If you like the dark, the weird, and to solve puzzles you will enjoy this game!

  • Fun old game.

    Playing this on my iPad and it has crashed again causing me to lose an hour of gameplay. So while it is a fun creepy game, make sure you save often and don’t rely on auto save.
  • Love the game but game ending bug 3rd level

    Love the start to this game. Too bad I cannot finish it. Game is bugged 3rd level after town with kids level. Went next to dr office to open panel outside and it crashes. Very disappointing to pay for a game that does not work
  • Fantastic game ruined by horrid controls

    Love this game. I played it on PC. However, the controls on this version are laughable. It’s this horribly implemented free standing invisible joystick that does the game absolutely no justice. IMPLEMENT A SIMPLE TOUCH TO CONTROL STYLR!
  • Amazing

    I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game, this and tormentum are fantastic, I only wish there was more like them in the App Store, dark and unique, great characters and story.
  • Hung up in Chapter 3

    Loved the original game and was really enjoying this version until I became stuck in chapter 3. Game glitches and freezes every time I try to do any action.
