  • Complete garbage

    What a fu… this is one of the most annoying games I’ve ever came along. 50% of all riddles and puzzles are just dead wrong, even with the walkthrough you will not be able to solve this game. What a junk. It had so much potential, but making illogical riddles is unforgiving!!!
  • Reviews are misleading

    Has the potential to be fun but the hints aren’t even helpful at all

    Dull.
  • Bit of a mess

    This game isn’t terrible, but there’s very little direction of what you should do, and it’s kind of a mess. The hints are so useless. Very rarely you may get one that helps, but after trying to find the password to Alex computer, you watch an ad to get a hint and it will say something like “I hope I can get the password to Alex’s computer” That’s 80% of the hints, just useless thoughts that provide no help whatsoever. The items you get have no clear objective. Some I’m not even sure what they are at all. Like a random wood stick, or these rectangular things - don’t know what they are and I keep trying to use them but nothing works. You should at least label the items so it’s clear what it is. Additionally, there’s no way to save papers you find so that you can use them. Like the diary page on the table in the art room, the students exam grades chart, etc. Why can’t I pick them up and carry them around?! Or at least take a picture of them so I can use them later without needing to go back and forth? Some of the puzzles are poorly done. Poor English translation in places. They go back and forth between using a 12 hour and 24 hour clock. The investigation notes aren’t thorough, and you can’t take your own notes in the game (aside from writing them down IRL, but the whole point of the investigation tab is to have the notes on suspects stored in the game). The approach to the detective work is unrealistic. For example, you find cotton swabs in random places in the rooms, that you then use to analyze the blood. Not exactly a good investigation technique. Why does the detective need to use the schools broken microscope? Why does he have none of his own supplies? Things like that make the game feel dumb.

  • I don’t like it.

    5 seconds into the game and I’m interrupted by an ad.

    Bye bye.
  • Awful

    I play puzzle solving games as my go to games, this game has absolutely no direction. Your literally tapping the screen a million times and when you watch a video to get a clue the clue is of no help whatsoever. Honestly I think the constant ad watching without help is just a way to create revenue for the developer. Don’t download unless you want to be annoyed..

  • AMAZING; MAKES YOU WORK/THINK FOR THE SOLUTION!

    This work of art is serious. No bells ringing and no maddening interruptions by cha-ching sound effects. The clues are what you make of them. Rake them over in your mind and run through them aloud or make notes.

    None of the clues spell things out for you; you might need to refresh your knowledge of Art and Physics, for starters. I printed lots of the problems out (the graphics are gorgeous and fit perfectly with the story)and got a pencil & graphing paper; freely writing things out helps with my logical thinking and memory. I did NOT finish the game in, say, a couple of hours. The graphics and layout of the rooms are significant as they are valuable for reminding and also for getting an understanding of just what happened to Alex. I love the bold characterizations used with members of the school faculty.😉😏

    Developer Response

    Thank you for such a nice review! We are very glad you liked the game :)
  • Love the game

    Love it but a bit tricky have to paste the wall and very hard to do. But you don’t take the money and gun from safe. But love the game😃
  • Hints

    This game would be a lot of fun if the hints actually gave you any idea of what to do next. The items you pick up also don’t give you much direction to what you should do next... not a clear game at all.
