  • One of the best

    Highly recommended! This one goes on my Favorites list, with others like Rooms, Samorost, Botanicula and Machinarium. I love peaceful games like this, that have immersive environments worth exploring. I spent nearly 9 hours playing this game, and didn’t want it to end. Beautifully rendered, Alleys has depth not found in many other games. Every area has multiple layers, from attics to sewers. Transitions are logical, and often you can peek through to further locations. Like another reviewer said, one of the joys of this game is the fact that you can complete it in multiple ways. You never need to worry that you’ll miss a critical step, or be a slave to a walkthrough. Wander and have fun! And once you finish, you can replay to better your time or master a long list of achievements. Many thanks, Shi-Chi!

  • My kind of game, but stuck at end

    This exactly the kind of game I’ve been waiting to see in the App Store. I love exploring and enjoying the artwork of the game.

    However, I have escaped Chester Wilcox’s house but am stuck in the mine— the phone booth is inoperable and there are chairs blocking my way out. Have I come to the end of the game? If so, will future updates allow the player to experience alternate endings of the game? I love to be able to go back without re-playing the entire game. Overall a fun experience!

  • Broken! Don’t bother

    Purchased, installed, played a few minutes, game crashed and will not start. Contacted the developer via their website, but received no reply. Utter rubbish. I want a refund.
    ***Update: Developer response stated that the gamed doesn’t play on my device. At time of purchase (and still now) it is advertised as “works on this iPad” and “compatible with iPad Air2”. As the game is unplayable and purchased on false information, I definitely want my money back! Still waiting for that...

  • Great Game. Beautifully Conceived.

    Loved this game because it’s not like anything else
    I’ve played. The designer did a great job of not only designing the world and the levels but also the interface with that world — such as the use of tool cards and a hint system which doesn’t take away all of the fun. I played through the whole game on an iPhone 6S with iOS 13.1.2 and didn’t have any issues.

  • Completely Crashed

    It's a beautiful game, but it crashes each time I enter a new area (such as entering the library or bus area). I'm on an iphone 6 using ios version 12.4 (edited). I'd be very happy to rewrite my review once it gets resolved!

    A little while later: Now it's completely crashed. It has no resume option anymore and won't launch when I click start.

  • Love love love this game

    I love the look and feel of this game, it is beautifully done.

    However, I have found a couple of bugs in getting the achievements.
    1)Ready player one achievement-the game won’t give me this achievement even though I have used all 4 card machines multiple times.
    2)the speedwalker achievement is for completing in under 4 hours, the game won’t let me have this even though I have the 3 hour, 2 hour and 1 hour achievements
    3)the collector achievement- not sure if this is a bug or not. I have all the keys, tokens, and check-ins. Is there something else I have to get?

    Other wise the gameplay is smooth and the game works great

  • Explore and Discover

    A thoroughly enjoyable exploration in a well rendered, atmospheric environment with items to uncover and an underlying story, but nothing really to puzzle over (except why some of the scenes are so dark!). It deserves 5 stars for being good at what it does, but if you’re only looking to exercise your brain, this might not be for you.

  • Alleys...more games like this required!

    Thank you for this game....as a big fan of the old Myst games, which are a bit outdated now, I loved this game. Much fun. I would love to see more games like this, I think they will be the future of gaming.
  • Incredible game

    If you’re a fan of non-linear hidden object escape-type games, then this is for you. There are so many areas to explore, so many achievements to unlock (though I didn’t even get half). The visuals are stunning but the sound effects are amazing! Overall, a very satisfying game.
  • Great value for money. Kept me occupied

    I really enjoyed this format. I didn’t know whether to expect something like the room or not! The graphics were good but simple, leaving the gameplay to be smooth. I guess this may be easier on an iPad as it takes some squinting to see hidden objects.

    Really good value for money and I think with the introduction of some logic puzzles and some similar puzzles to the room/eyes of ara/house of da Vinci there could be an awesome sequel here.

    Good work for a small developer.
