Great puzzle, challenging interface

I really enjoyed the premise and overall difficulty level of the game—puzzles were satisfying and challenging. Rated it 4 stars instead of 5 because navigation and object interface can be challenging/frustrating at times. Enabling point and click mode and increasing field of view helped, but it was still very hard to turn/look left—I often found myself rotating a full circle to my right just to look to my left. It’s a testament though to how engaging the puzzle was that I kept with it despite the interface challenges—would be 5 stars otherwise!

Quick and Pointless

For the most part I was able to figure things out but at some point I had to look at a walkthrough towards the ending. The hints they give you are okay and I think one could solve the game with the hints alone but I became frustrated and just googled a walkthrough.

After understanding how the rest of the game is suppose to play out, I figured out the ending on my own and was happy to see that you’re sent back to your office from the beginning of the game and it looks like you’re assigned a second case to solve.

As you’re about to enter your second painting, the game just stops and the credits roll. This is ridiculous. I have no idea if they’re ever going to make a part two of this but just playing this part alone felt like a waste of time and was just annoying to walk through. I’d rather play something else with an actual storyline.

Great game but with some issues

I was really hooked on this game when I first downloaded it. I completed everything in the first building/area up until the telephone box. I came to believe that I was meant to put the moon in the coin slot. But, the game wouldn’t let me do anything with it. Really annoying! Can someone help me out here please.
Thanks

More please

I really enjoyed it, and the end suggests another location, but I feel like I’ve been waiting ages for it. I hope it’s coming soon.

Unintuitive

The most frustrating and unintuitive controls and mechanics I’ve ever come across. I lasted 5 minutes before deleting. Apple seems to be letting a lot of half-developed games into Arcade to fill it out.

Amazing

This game is incredible, I love everything about it. I’m a big mystery fan and find out everything with no help was extremely fun and greatly satisfying when you reach the end. I hope they add in more maps and places to investigate, it did seem like in the end like the story continues and I sure hope it does. Controls are a little wonky but you get used to it, haven’t used a controller on it but I’m going to try it see if it’s easier to us other than that it’s amazing

It’s worth it

I genuinely enjoyed this game. I try to look for more “free-realm” figure-it-out games and this was right up that alley. If you like games that require you to think outside the box and puzzles, but more interactive, this is definitely your game. I was a little disappointed from certain graphics, but nothing to disregard the game for. It was thorough and while I got through it pretty quickly, I had looked for some online help. It is a fun game and I would play a part two if there was one. I also enjoy that you get left on a cliffhanger suggested there will be a second one.

A hardcore puzzle solving game

This is a very beautiful and hardcore puzzle solving game. One of the hardest I have ever played. Not like other similar games, it gives no hint, almost no tutorial. In the beginning of the game, I have to walk back and force to try different things everywhere. This is a very painful and boring period, but the benefit is that I get myself familiar with the environment. But if the creator can smooth this period of time, the game can be better IMO.

The interactive things blend in so well, sometimes I have to look at everything to make sure I haven’t miss any. Because I have to walk back and force to solve puzzles, the slow moving speed starts to bother me in the later game. Same story for the slow rotation, especially painful on the touch screen.

During the puzzle solving process, I have a lot of what the hack moment. But after solving it, I completely feel it makes sense and logical. What I am saying is the puzzle design is great, it is a very awesome game worths your time.

Interesting game

Not very often I complete a game however this one had me hooked. The graphics and the sound effects/music were really good. The controls were a bit tricky to use on an iPad, but once I got into the game I found it easier to control. Not a straightforward game and you do need to look around for clues but as frustrating as I found it at times, i did want to continue with it and solve it

It actually left me wanting more once I’d completed it and I really hope there will be more to come, a very enjoyable game.

I would have given it 5 stars however the game control wasn’t that easy on an iPad and sometimes it wasn’t very obvious from the clues what I had to do

I‘m highly displeased.

I‘m only giving it this score cause I did at some point in time did enjoy the game but it was a small point that I did like it like two minutes before it started to aggravate me. The “hints” were not even present what should be a thirty minute walkthrough turned into hours of frustration and I blame myself for being impatient I’ll give it that, this game is not for those who like to hurry and solve. So I did as any self respecting idiot would do and did watched a walkthrough to some degree and the person that did it was extremely aggravating as well but I digress. This game felt like a demo and after all that stress of not understanding the game they leave you with credits and that was practically a slap in my face especially since it’s on Apple Arcade a paid gaming service. If this was on steam I would understand full heartedly since nothing on steam is ever completed but this is a different platform and said platform gave us.....this.

Play if you wish I just wished I paid attention to the reviews and not played it.
