### 3/5 — Nicely done but short and anticlimactic

*2026-01-28, version 1.0.11*

This game is really pretty and beautifully made, but the big reveal (spoiler) where the machine just spits out a list of the hints you used is really anticlimactic and makes the whole game feel abortive. I’d love it if your choices really impacted the game in some way! 

The art is so good, I’d honestly prefer to pay a few dollars more for a game that feels more complete than play an inexpensive game that feels truncated.

### 4/5 — Good job

*2025-10-16, version 1.0.11*

Short but a decent collection of puzzles. I’d guess early teens could work their way through this and have fun with the puzzles and story. For more veteran adventurers this wasn’t too hard. 

Story-wise it’s rough and an overreach of scope for such a small game. Still, we should hope for sequels from this team. There a definite place for short form adventure gaming, I think.

### 3/5 — Good but navigation problematic

*2024-12-09, version 1.0.9*

Great puzzles in the Room vein, but point and click and navigation is not as intuitive - sometimes works sometimes not and sometimes works when you try the same thing a second time but without a clear rationale. Needs a bit more polish - and then would be worth paying more for! I eventually gave it up this time, but have hopes...

### 3/5 — Too short, not worth the money

*2024-11-28, version 1.0.9*

I spent $1.99 on this game and I played it for 30 min tops. Disappointed. Puzzles are good, and the set up is nice. Would expect more for what kind of work was put in. :(

### 3/5 — Bad game

*2024-06-20, version 1.0.6*

The table is broken because the scales string and the key string dontwork

### 3/5 — Short

*2024-05-16, version 1.0.4*

It’s a beautiful game but it takes like 10 minutes to complete and if I would’ve known I never would’ve paid money

### 4/5 — Fantastic game, good puzzles but short

*2024-05-12, version 1.0.4*

I really enjoyed this platform. Puzzles were challenging, graphics and motion were flawless.  I really hope there’s another instalment of this type as I felt it was a little short, however the price reflected this and great value for Under £2

### 5/5 — Fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-04-05, version 1.0.4*

This game is seriously good, some hugely talented developers must have created this, I don’t understand how it doesn’t have 5 stars, it’s criminally underrated, I loved every minute, the graphics are out of this world, the puzzles absolute perfection, I loved the ending and the prediction, I didn’t need any hints as the layout was beautifully executed, the puzzles were all very logical, I wish someone would make a game exactly like this but even longer. Now I’m going to get my piggy bank out for a trip to Amsterdam 😂🤣

### 3/5 — Too short

*2024-03-29, version 1.0.4*

Way too short for the price. Took less than two hours to finish, and I actually solved a couple puzzles just playing with buttons.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-03-26, version 1.0.4*

I found playing this escape game was very enjoyable and sometimes tricky.
I would have given 5stars but I like a little longer playing game.
I am sure to try one of the real escape games for an enjoyable night out!
Thanks and keep them coming.

### 1/5 — No gold nub …..?

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.10*

A bug …?

### 1/5 — Question

*2025-02-18, version 1.0.10*

Gold nub missing from mapping desk. What do I do wrong ?

### 1/5 — Incredibly short

*2025-02-06, version 1.0.9*

8ish puzzles should not cost money. The production value is fine but the puzzles were not difficult and not worth paying for. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2024-07-04, version 1.0.9*

This looks like it could be a good game but I had a glitch in the first few minutes. No “gold nub” shows up on the map table.

### 1/5 — Nice potential but broken.

*2024-06-09, version 1.0.6*

Had to restart the game many times for bugs. Became unplayable at bookshelf puzzle. After a while, it is no longer worth trying when it becomes this frustrating.

### 1/5 — Seriously

*2024-05-18, version 1.0.4*

I paid to play maybe 5 puzzles and one room

### 1/5 — Puzzles don’t work

*2024-03-23, version 1.0.4*

Solved one correctly and nothing happens.  The weight puzzle is broken and nowhere online can you actually validate your answer.  Extremely frustrating when you know how to solve a puzzle but it doesn’t work.  Makes you feel crazy and annoyed.  Save your money.  This one is half baked.

### 2/5 — Very easy an d short

*2026-01-28*

For me it was to easy and the game is quite short

### 2/5 — That’s it?

*2024-09-11, version 1.0.9*

It’s about four puzzles. Not levels: puzzles. Would be fine for free as a proof of concept or promo for their other projects. Nicely produced but not worth the cost.

### 2/5 — That's it?

*2024-03-22, version 1.0.4*

Game operates well, puzzles are somewhat challenging and creative enough, but it's basically only 4 to 5 puzzles before the game is over. Not much bang for the buck

### 5/5 — オシャレな短編小説

*2026-04-28*

教師との濃密な手紙でのやり取り、雰囲気が良いです。コンパクトに纏まった部屋での知的遊戯、修了後のストーリーでの思索。楽しむには「海外旅行で困らない程度の英語」と「チェスのルール」が必要です。

### 5/5 — Great game - better than The Room!!

*2025-11-29, version 1.0.11*

In my opinion, this game takes the the crown from The Room. Very, very clever puzzles which are not so challenging as to be irritating but not so easy as to be just a case of putting an object in the right place. The clues are all there, and there is an excellent help system for if you get stuck. There is a great atmosphere in the study and the personality of the ‘host’ is well-developed. The way the game slowly unfolds is also very engaging. I can’t recommend this highly enough!

### 5/5 — Last Updated done as per my first evaluation. Superb app

*2025-02-27, version 1.0.11*

Can not find gold nub, and updated very fast after my evaluation. 
Congratulation to all how work on this game. Super !

### 5/5 — Love this Genre

*2025-01-23, version 1.0.9*

Absolutely beautiful game with a captivating story line to go with the challenges of the puzzles. It did have a hint system, but I didn’t use it so I’m not sure what it entailed.  Yes I wish it had been longer but I wouldn’t hesitate to pay for this quality of a game!  More to come I hope!

### 5/5 — Splendid

*2024-09-22, version 1.0.9*

Of course this game is not very long, but I got my money's worth. Clever puzzles, an interesting story, splendid graphics and easy and precise handling! What more could you ask for for $2.29
Thanks to the team and keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Great game even tho short

*2024-07-12, version 1.0.9*

This game has so much going for it. It’s a sophisticated 3D design with complex puzzles, beautiful artwork, and an interesting story. Everything works. I loved it. Like others I wish it were longer, and it would be lovely if there were more chapters coming (hint hint, dev 🙂). I did need some hints in places where I thought I was getting the solution wrong but it turned out that there were things I could do in the game but didn’t realize. It’s the kind of thing that if the game were longer, I’d learn how the dev’s mind worked and would learn to try more swiping, poking, trying when a puzzle wasn’t solving and I thought I had it right. But overall a really good game with creative, satisfying puzzles, even tho it’s short. Thank you, dev! More please!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-07-02, version 1.0.9*

Good logical puzzles; lovely graphics, and a helpful (if you need it) hint section; plus it’s so easy to move around, so what more do you need.
It’s a little short, but I take that as being a taster for bigger things to come. It’s clear that this developer is capable of that.
I’m looking forward to what they do next.
Well done Sherlocked.

### 5/5 — Great game - better than The Room!!

*2024-06-13, version 1.0.6*

### 5/5 — Cleaver, well crafted.

*2024-05-12, version 1.0.4*

Graphics and gameplay are well done. The choices one makes are thoughtful and self reflecting. The fact that the game is short for me isn’t a issue, just wanting more for her invention.

### 5/5 — It’s short yes, but a solid newcomer.

*2024-05-07, version 1.0.4*

I’ve played many puzzle adventures so I feel my perspective has value. Graphics are great. Movement through the room is fluid and intuitive. Puzzles were smart, some easy, some harder. If they can expand this into a full fledged multi room and chapter game it will be one of the better ones out there!
