  • Good game

    Fun, smooth with no issues, challenging but not so abstract that it becomes frustrating. Would like if it was longer but considering it’s free, totally reasonable length.
  • Great Game

    I appreciate the art and the story, very well done! I had a good time and it was very entertaining. I needed a hint a few times and I appreciated that it was on a timer instead of being behind an ad wall like other escape rooms usually do. The most difficult puzzle for me was the morse code one but overall each puzzle has its own clues and hints. Something that felt a little bit unfinished was the broken green square puzzle in the beginning, I felt like that somehow needed to be fixed. Also, the fish feeding- I kept an eye out for fish food even though it wasn’t necessary. All in all however, it was a great game and I appreciate the work put into it! :)

  • Impossible puzzle

    It was fine. The puzzles were okay - a little frustrating at times, but doable. Some of the puzzle games were pretty tough and it was a bit frustrating that you needed to complete/win to proceed, but nothing that bad. Then, near the end of the game (and I know because I looked at a walk through to make sure I was doing it right) I reached one of the last puzzles. It was a puzzle to lead to the last door and the puzzle was a literal “guess the button sequence.” So, okay, I start that, but after getting four buttons in, the sequence ends. I tried literally every possible button after those first four and none of them worked. I even recorded the screen and reviewed to make sure there was no way and I was right - I have no way to proceed. I know this puzzle is random per user, I know I was close to the end, but it’s horribly aggravating to think that I was close to the end and yet I can’t beat it due to no fault of my own.

  • WoW!

    Amazing story, art puzzles and sound effects didn’t get stuck and the small hints helped a lot, very good game, and I would recommend to others.

    But, I did encounter one bug, near the end with the radiation tubes thing that you can double tap to look at. When I pressed to take a look I think I pressed to fast and two radiation tubes popped up at the same time and one of them who stay on my screen even if was clicking on ther puzzles and going to other rooms.

    🙏🏻❤️

  • Fun game but…

    I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the twist, but some of the puzzles require brute force which is a little annoying. And I’m not paying premium to solve it.
  • Worthy!

    Agree with some that say a few items are hard to locate and the click radius is small, but outside of that, this game is fantastic. I managed through a few days without hints (the Morse code was the hardest puzzle, I thought) and was happy I did. The puzzles all make sense, many were layered. Some required a bit of a time investment getting through, but isn’t that the point? Anyway, I have played every game like this from the App Store (Cube Escapes, Glitch Games, Isoland…) and it’s definitely up there in the top 30. It actually reminded me of another great one, Get aCC_e55 which has a very similar game design and environment. Looking forward to more!

    Developer Response

    Yes, you are right, "Tiny Room" and "Get aCC_e55" was inspired me
  • Great puzzle game

    Had a fun time with this game and enjoyed the story line. Though some of the puzzles aren’t logic based and are more trial and error it didn’t detract too much from the game. None of the puzzles are overly difficult and can all be solved without the need for hints, though some can be a little time consuming. Wasn’t the most deep thinking/expansive puzzle game I’ve played but fantastic for a free mobile game on the AppStore.

  • Great game but…

    The game is overall amazing and is well thought through for the most part, the rooms link up nicely and once you’ve thought you completed a room it turns out there is more to do there which I really like.

    However the reason that it isn’t 5 stars is because of some of the puzzles, such as the tower of Hanoi, shuffle puzzle and the last two all don’t really require any strategy or logic they are all just brute force and trial and error “puzzles” causing them to get repetitive and boring.

    Other than that the game is great and the ending was an excellent twist which was well though out and was even hinted at the beginning with the seagull.

  • Loved it!

    Love this game. I thought it was really well made and challenging but I’m confused by the end! Do I just play over and over and over and over? I want more a number 2 or something I need more. 😂
  • No sound

    It was a game i was wanting to Play through but there was no sound and that made it a bit boring
