### 4/5 — Good but short

*2025-05-09*

This is a good game but it’s too short. It’s got all you expect from a P&P game and it’s not too difficult. However, it’s too short a game to rate with any decent review. I’d be glad to play a longer version and then give it a proper rating.

### 1/5 — Warrole

*2023-11-19, version 1.0.4*

I don’t usually bother to write a review but this is too expensive for an incomplete game and some of the puzzles make no sense at all. 
The vision is also unclear and I must admit I used a walkthrough for most of it 
I would like a refund if possible

### 2/5 — Very short

*2023-10-05*

I finished this game in less than 25 minutes.

### 1/5 — Skip it

*2023-05-02, version 1.0.4*

This game took 15 minutes to play.  The puzzles were simplistic and not worth the money.

### 3/5 — A Simple Mistake

*2022-04-15*

The title says it all… paying for this game was truly “A Simple Mistake”.  I never give a game less than 3 stars, no matter how much I may dislike it, and the reason for that is because the developer spent a lot of time to create a game (something that I could never do) and whether I love or hate it, I have to remember that someone made this from nothing and is proud of their work. As for my opinion, it was INCREDIBLY short, but ended up taking 10x longer because I spent the ENTIRE game clicking endlessly all over the dark (and incredibly hard to see) screen trying to figure out what to do next. There are no hints, no prompts, no nothing. Just VERY dark rooms with furniture along with random zoom in objects that have no use in the game. I would not recommend this one.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the respectful feedback. I guess my game isn't for everyone, but I try my best to improve and take input from players so thank you for trying!

### 1/5 — Where is the menu?

*2022-02-12*

How do you get out of the game? Where is the menu? Where are the settings? I will revise my ratings when I get answers.

**Developer response:** Use ALT+Return to toggle full-screen mode.

### 2/5 — Too short and some very obscure puzzles

*2022-01-27*

The game is far too short for the price and it could be improved in so many ways. Each area you enter only has one puzzle to solve giving you a key to the next area. A bit repetitive. This breaks the feeling of exploration.

The save system needs to be refined so you don’t have to repeat your steps if you don’t complete that particular area.

Telephone puzzle is just ridiculous and I would be surprised if anyone solved that without a walk-through.

Then a totally abrupt ending.

 The  games by this developer have the potential to be so so good as the graphics are there and so is the atmosphere, but the actual content of puzzles and storyline are lacking.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the constructive feedback. It's refreshing to read! 

A Simple Mistake was one of my earlier games so I fully accept the shortfalls in the areas you mentioned. Although the game I feel still offers a fun challenge to people that want to solve puzzles and go on an adventure.

The save system is totally fixed in newer games for example. But sadly I haven't managed to retrofit it as the code behind the scenes is totally different and adds more bugs than it fixes.

According to reviews the telephone puzzle was quite easy and the whole game could be solved within 3-20mins - I assume these people were either exaggerating or using a guide. So it is nice to hear someone actually stuck on one of my puzzles, else I could have continued to created some rather obscure things in the future!

It's nice to hear the graphics and atmosphere are up to scratch. Might I recommend you try one of my newer titles where hopefully you'd see a lot of the improvements you have mentioned.

Thanks for playing!

### 1/5 — Too short

*2022-01-17, version 1.0.4*

This game took me 20 min to play. Its too easy and short. I do not reccomend it

### 5/5 — Another great

*2021-10-18*

Love these games…love this developer 😻😻😻😻😻

**Developer response:** Thanks for the praise and thank you for playing! 😃

### 3/5 — Hmmmmm

*2021-08-10*

Took way less than an hour to complete.  Loved most of the graphics, but some scenes are so dark it’s hard to find objects.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, sadly as a solo developer the length of the game is probably shorter than games from large development studios but I will try harder! Thanks for trying.
