  • Amazing

    This game is incredible!!
  • You have to “break the rules”

    I was enjoying the game. I think I’m pretty good at figuring out these types of games (like The Room, etc.), and I never look for hints or ask for help. To me that’s cheating myself, but I got absolutely stuck on this one. After several days coming back to it from time to time, I finally broke down and searched for some hints. I was angry to find out that you basically had to break the rules of the game and do something you weren’t supposed to be able to do in order to progress. To me this is cheating on the part of the game makers. I’m still mad about this.

  • Sorry I took so long

    I love The Room series and games that have some mystery and storytelling. I kept putting off downloading this and can’t figure out why. It’s a beautiful game and doesn’t explain itself, which I love. You’re able to explore and enjoy the story at your own pace and it unfolds in a lovely way. Kudos to the developer.

  • Great potential but too short

    The beginning of the game is a little rough since you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do and it’s hard to navigate the forest (I recommend drawing a map). I had to look at a walkthrough once to get me started and then I was able to solve the rest of the game on my own. The puzzles are very clever and the atmosphere is incredibly creepy (be prepared for some scary moments). I enjoyed playing it but considering how short it is I would expect it to cost less. The companion app does give some added value and an alternate ending but it’s not enough. Still, it’s a unique game and will give you an hour or two of great game play.

  • Honestly my favorite game ever

    I wasn’t lying in the title; this game is my absolute favorite and I will always come back to it. The story telling and the images bring forth a mystery that is accessible to all levels of theorist and game detective and conjures a strange world that I’ve gotten lost in every time I play.
    There isn’t much replay-ability but even with the same story over and over it’s still so much fun. The fact that it’s accompanied by a “companion” app and several short stories just shows you how much dedication went into this game. I cant really articulate how much I love this game because I honestly just think it’s perfect in its level of creepiness and strange beauty.

  • Style over substance

    Beautiful graphics and sound, unlike any IOS game I’ve ever played.
    But terribly easy puzzles, leaving me completing the game in about 30 minutes. Not good value for the price. Left with a complete sense of longing and incompletion.
  • So good I tattooed the logo on my arm

    This is by far the best iPhone game I have ever played in my entire life. The depth of the story, the twists and turns, the eerie vibe of the forest, the puzzles, everything comes together to create an experience that will stick with you for a very long time. In fact, it will stick with ME for the rest of my life. I have a tattoo of the game’s logo (the minimalist goat head) on my inner forearm. It was my first ever tattoo and I haven’t regretted it once. That’s how good this game is, and how much the message contained within means to me.

    The overall message of the game is very deep and thoughtful, which I appreciated. The future is not something we should know!

  • Refund please

    I LOVE puzzle games and this one was a huge disappointment. The navigation is confusing and you have no real sense of detection. You wonder around aimlessly in hopes to find anything that makes sense. I don’t like having to look up walkthroughs to get past areas or in this case see what the hell I'm even supposed to be doing. I found the creepy doll and the owls in the tree where you’re given no clue as to how you get back out of the darn tree. This is where I needed to look up where to go. I got out, was given a key and now I’m over it. This game will be deleted from my phone. What a waste.

  • Orientation should NOT be fixed!

    You can only play this oriented one way. It doesn’t work with my set up. Simply thoughtless to not have that option after charging four bucks. I have not begun to play and I’ve already been put off this game.
  • Very fun, but-

    There needs to be more to the game. The animation and the story, and the fact that it’s all based on old Swedish folklore, is really cool. However, I felt that it ended way too soon. I will pay more if you add more to the game!!!
    By the way, for those of you considering playing or for those of you who have played but feel something’s missing, GET THE COMPANION APP! It gives some really good background to the story and characters.
    But as I’ve previously stated, the biggest issue is that it is WAY too short. Love everything else about it.
