  • Oh my GOD is this a game or a dream??

    This game plays and feels like a dream!

    If you enjoy it, play the even better successor: INSIDE!!!!!
  • Definitely worth the money

    I spent so long playing this and I always looked forward to coming back and playing it. Such a great game that really draws you in and allows you to solve problems in an enthralling and enjoyable way.
  • Best Smartphone Game I’ve Played

    ^Ok, that might not be saying much, since my game ‘catalogue’ consists mainly of Angry Birds, various other strategy games, and Blendoku...but this game had me from the very start. Pure magic to play, the music, sound design, b&w theme, and elegantly simple yet challenging puzzles pull you irreversibly into this mesmerizing story world. The only major drawback is that if you are persistent and clever enough to make it to the end, it only leaves you wanting more.
    Serious BRAVO to the designers—this game was a truly captivating experience and well worth the price, obviously deserving of its many awards.

  • I really want to like this, but...

    As many people have pointed out, although the game is lovely to look at (in a dark way) the controls on this game make it frustrating. I found myself wishing for a mouse or controller. I stopped playing it a few weeks ago because, although I knew what my character had to do to move on, the touch screen controls on my iPad Air just weren’t accurate enough, and after probably 30-40 tries, I just gave up. I came back to it today, but after still getting the same result, gave up again. It’s too bad because it has such great potential.

  • You all deserve a raise

    This game is incredible, I didn't really know what to expect when first buying it but I'm glad I did. At times the game can be a little frustrating but that also forces you to think more outside of the box. I like how this game makes you feel alone but not in a creepy way, it just allows or makes you focus and I tend to tune out everything else around me and for a mobile game atleast for me that is a rarity. Great job

  • Loved it until I couldn’t finish it.

    I loved this game, right up until I beat the last saw with the gravity trap and fell through the glass. After that, nothing happens, he just lays there dead while the game sounds keep going. Restarting the game does nothing. I’ve beaten it a half a dozen times by now, but I guess that’s just the end of the game: kid dies stupidly in limbo trying to find his sister.

    I read a lot of comments about the terrible controls on the iPhone and I’d also like to agree. There were sections that took way more time than they needed to because I had to swap between seeing the character and controlling the character.

  • LOVE IT

    This is my favorite game I have on my phone!!! I just don’t even know what to say!! Whenever you die, it’s not all gory and bloody. This game is very mysterious because if you hadn’t read the description, you don’t even know what you’re looking for. I have not gotten to the end yet bur I’m more than halfway.. I’m stuck on the level where you press a button and 2 boxes float up to the ceiling!! I know what I’m supposed to do but just not there yet! LOVE the game!! No complaints! Thanks for this amazing games that my friends and I enjoy! ❤️❤️❤️

  • Great game

    I had absolutely no problem playing this on my iPhone 6s. Sure, I would occasionally miss a jump, but I always felt it was more due to my finger moving in the wrong direction than a delay on the game's part.

    I think figuring the game out as you go along is the point. It's a puzzle game. It's not supposed to be easy or always point you in the right direction. I loved the challenging aspect of it and would highly recommend spending a couple dollars for it.

  • Great concept, Buggy Controls

    Was really enjoying this game, but at about level 14 I had to delete it or throw my iPad through a window. Buggy controls about drove me crazy.. as game gets harder, you’re finding the little s.o.b. constantly refusing to jump. Was fun for an afternoon, now it’s done fir me.
  • Exceptional

    Just a beautiful game. One of the few that have totally justified its small cost. Hard to find a flaw with it at all. Hats off to the developers.
