I get the puzzle right but it won’t register as completed. I have also closed game turned phone off and in and it happens each time I try the puzzle. ### 4/5 — It’s not bad.. *2023-01-14* When I originally downloaded this game I quickly came to realize how beautifully it was made, as the colors stood out and the music is a bit mysterious which feeds into the vibe. Though, as I ventured slowly into the game I found myself using the ‘hints’ much more frequently than I would’ve enjoyed. It’s a fun game to play on a weekend but not as a fun, mystery game I was hoping for. Overall, I think there were a few lose ends and a very abrupt ending but it was entertaining nonetheless. ### 3/5 — Y’A PAS D’AVIS ALORS JE M’INCRUSTE *2022-10-01* Sinon j’aimerai bien que ce jeu soit traduit en français car je galère avec l’anglais ### 4/5 — more enjoyable *2022-02-12* Not great enough for 5 stars but definitely good enough for 4.5. Liked this game a bit better than Alice Trapped in Wonderland. Really appreciated the fast travel feature--it was something severely lacking in their other games, especially with all the back-and-forthing you must do. I would have preferred less of the back and forth. Liked the twist of being able to change seasons later in the game. The biggest problem I had was with the games ending--it seemed overly abrupt and I'd have liked a cut scene or a couple of graphics showing the reunion of Alice and friends. And there are still too many weird language problems, some of which aren't that big a deal but some that are much worse. With all of the games from this dev, they should have found a good translator by this time. ### 4/5 — Excellent point, click, puzzle app *2022-02-05* As others have suggested, I would rate this a 5 star, but I try not to use that except for the MOST brilliant events. I am not a heavy user of these sorts of games, but I do enjoy them. The first few levels are ‘simple’ enough to allow one to enter the game and begin exploring and deducing. Some puzzles are ‘easy’, others are down right confounding. Without a secondary site offering the answers, I might well have walked away. So, challenging enough for a beginner to start, challenging enough for an expert to enjoy. The Quick Travel option is greatly appreciated and useful. Also nice is that when a puzzle is solved the ‘box’ opens, you do NOT have to step back and then come back forward and confirm the puzzle is solved and the ‘box’ has opened. The feature that disturbs me is the proximity of the tool bag to the ‘back arrow’ and the need to always close the tool bag before being able to change scenes - although, the tool bag must be open to access the map which allows one quickly change scenes. Great App, lots of fun. Thank you ### 3/5 — it’s a good game. But didn’t consider all mobile *2022-01-30* I uses iphone 7 plus. There is a task to dig 4 fragments of sun shard. If you wanna use shovel, you have to open tool bar. And Your tool bar blocks the place to dig in entrance of cave, and the front of the mill. I cannot continue. ### 4/5 — Nice but needs more immersion! *2022-01-26* The graphics are beautiful, story as well, but it needs improvements. Every action you make is reset upon exiting the particular view / room. For example, I open doors, exit room, enter again and their are closed again. Another example is fiddling with the books in second room. They are randomly shuffled every time I attempt to organize them and they do not remain “tapped” after exiting. Please make it that every action you make stays to make it more immersive. Then it’s 5 star! ### 3/5 — Ok *2021-11-17, version 1.03* Pretty scenes. Game not intuitive. No logic in the blocks in the prison cell corresponding to the clocks in the train station. Hints not helpful. Ok I have the gear where now? Or I have the map where do I dig? ### 3/5 — Disappearing item *2021-08-17* (Spoiler) I clicked on the ladle at the campsite several times but it wouldn’t move to my list. Once it finally did, it disappeared and I cannot figure out how to get it back. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2021-05-07* I love this game and all the games by these developers. Obviously a lot of time and effort went into creating them. Especially like how they don’t need fancy animations or graphics to tell a story - they don’t even need you to meet other characters along the way. You’re really the only person in the world, there’s no interaction with others - this really supports the eerie feel of the story, which is all about trying to find out where your friends have gone. I only didn’t give this game a 5 star rating, because I feel there are three *minor* improvements the developers could make: 1. As another reviewer said, the hints system could be made clearer. Some of the hints just read “solve the puzzle, then...” - but if the puzzle is the thing you’re stuck on, you really need a picture of what the solved version looks like! I’ve played a few puzzle games before where the “hints” system gives the player a choice of a cryptic “clue”, OR you can opt for the complete solution if you’re really stuck. This is helpful because you can choose if you just want a nudge in the right direction, or if you really need the answer spelled out - maybe something like this could be added for future games? 2. The music is quite repetitive and is the same music through the game. There’s so much Creative Commons, free music out there that the developers could have used, that I’m kind of confused as to why they didn’t. It would be nice to have different background music for different areas, and perhaps different times in the game. Listening to the same, mournful tune which seems to loop over about 30 seconds is quite wearying and actually detracts from the gameplay experience - which is a miss on the part of the developers, because music should enhance the environment. 3. Some of the wording and grammar is a bit odd. I’m playing the game in English, and I’m wondering if the developers wrote it in another language and translated? There’s only one instance where the meaning of something isn’t actually clear (something is referred to as “pristine”, and you need to know *which* something is being referred to in order to solve a puzzle - but the word “pristine” in the context makes no sense). I feel like a read-through and edit from a native speaker who is *highly proficient* in each language the game is presented in, could help clear up some of the clunky wording. Other than these two though, I’m really impressed with the puzzles, the eerie atmosphere - and how they did so much story with what is really quite simple graphics! Definitely recommend :) (just maybe mute the music and listen to your own in the background, and use google for a walkthrough if you get stuck on the hints). Thanks! ### 3/5 — Please fix the glitches! *2021-02-18, version 1.03* Have ALL your games, and I love them. However, this game has glitches that must get resolved! How to open the Bars Lock of the train doors: Needs to be redone! I spend FOREVER hoping and praying the thing will 'magically' open! With no rhyme or reason towards a solution, we're left with hoping for a miracle, Please fix this! It really takes away from the adventure and enjoyment of the game! Getting the Gold and Bronze bars from the ingot puzzle: the puzzle pieces have very jerky and uneven movement and sometimes freeze and lock up. The engineer must resolve this so the puzzle does Not freeze up when trying to get the Gold and Bronze bars. Getting the Spring Stone: the clues don't make sense! I tried repeatedly to find solution by the clues in the puzzle and the clues in the 'clues' section. The clues given are unintelligible! Had to watch YouTube walkthrough video for the solution. Unacceptable! Please rework this to make it solvable. Under Notes in the help book, the clock that supposed to read 9:55, the graphic of the clock actually says 7:55 ! This is the first of your games with these type of issues. Better quality control needed? Thanks for your work and the games you provide us! Have a great day. ### 3/5 — Obtuse *2020-10-28* I’m a seasoned point and click gamer and always find these games manageable and easy to navigate. I’ve played the last few you’ve done and they’re rather enjoyable. However, I find this one scrambled in it’s structure and even, when needed - the hint system mirrors the obtuse layout of puzzles. Is the back button supposed to be positioned so far up in the screen? It’s always over or under the items menu and at the moment, it appears it could also be positioned over the very position where I need to use an item ( shovel to dig ). Just a bit of feedback. ### 3/5 — Good game but rushed *2020-08-20* The premise of the game is good and there are some tricky puzzles however there are spelling mistakes (rake and rack) and some inaccuracies in the scene numbers which make it hard to trace back clues. ### 4/5 — Another Awesome MediaCity Game! *2020-08-06* Please don’t be misled by my rating: This game is worth more than 4 stars. However, as a point of principle, I save 5-star ratings for the all-time best of the best (which, for me, are Monument Valley, Gorogoa, The Room series, and Rusty Lake series). MediaCity games, however, are fun, exciting, creative, challenging, and downright beautiful. This game is worth the purchase and play, and I’ll keep playing any games the developers out out. Consider this a 4.8-star review! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Item menu freezes *2023-06-09* Every time I add a new item to the menu the menu locks up. I have to restart the programme every time to get it working again. Now the menu is very full and I can’t scroll to get different items ### 1/5 — Terrible English *2023-06-05* This game was not created by people fluent in English, or was translated badly. Any sense of immersion or of involvement is broken instantly as a result. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Where are my things !!!!!!!!!!! *2022-11-11* Whenever I grab an item I don’t not get it. ### 1/5 — Circular hints *2021-07-03* The hints are ordered by map not be sequence so it’s like reading a legal document and not possible to navigate- one hint says invert the seasons but no hint tells you how to do this so you are on your own - good luck, and can someone give me my money back cos I found it ridiculously circuitously impossible grrr ### 1/5 — Items disappeared. *2021-01-18, version 1.03* Firstly, having to close the chest to move scenes was annoying but I dealt with it. But having gotten quite a few things collected and then they all disappeared out of the chest forced me to quit playing and I’m not about to restart. ### 2/5 — Played with disappointing result *2024-05-11* If you get things slightly out of order you end up in a locked room with no way to get the object you need to get out. Map disappears, Notes disappear, Hints disappear. This is not a challenge but a complete obstacle. It seems that the only way around it is to restart the game. And why would you fo that if you can’t trust it not to happen again elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Interested, but the English is problematic *2023-05-08* I’m struggling to get through this game because the grammatical errors are irritating. If I make it through, in spite of the poor English, I will update my review. ### 2/5 — Get a proof reader! *2022-01-24* The typos… The grammar… Awful! Couldn’t play the game as the text was so poor. The graphics were quite nice though. ### 2/5 — A repeat *2020-12-10* Media City games are great, I’ve completed them all. This was a little disappointing though as it was the same as the first. Same layout just different scenery in the background. It was quiet easy to follow and complete. Give us a challenge with the next one please. ### 2/5 — Missing Items- can’t finish *2020-09-26* After endlessly visiting and revisit each scene and clicking around, I succumbed to the help section, only to find that items I needed were not provided. Example: [SPOILER] the faucet so I could empty the barrel and get the pickaxe and the gold and silver ingots so I could make the shield and sword. If they were there, they disappeared and are not in my tool box nor in any scene to be found. I cannot progress and further without these and I am now too far along to start the game over. There does not appear to be an update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-06-27* I love this game! It’s super fun and the graphics are beautiful. While there is a lot of back and forth it is still enjoyable. And sometimes your lost and don’t know what to do next. Overall it is a good game and isn’t too challenging for beginners to complete. The ending is a little abrupt but it is still a very good game. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Challenging but fun *2024-06-29* I got this game and it is so challenging yet fun. They are very creative with everything. I’ve completed it and hope there’s more like it. ### 5/5 — “Added A Link To Our Latest Game… *2022-05-01* Escape From *CRISMON* Manor?” 😯Developer? WHAT…was distracting you? Too late, I already have that, per a different spelling. Just remember to get the next one right,so we won’t lose you!! 😘 ### 5/5 — fantastic *2020-10-18* The first one was my childhood game that i used to play all the time so i had to get this one it has lots of challengesI’m lots of fun things to do ### 5/5 — Love this game *2020-09-15, version 1.03* I really like the Alice in Wonderland games (both trapped in wonderland and beyond wonderland). I can’t wait for the next. One. It’s fun, it’s light, the puzzles and game play are relaxing. ### 5/5 — Favorite games - need more! *2020-07-06* I love your games! As a big puzzle person, I’ve enjoyed many others, but they are often too dark (in color) for my older eyes. I love the difficulty of the puzzles as well as the graphics. So much so that I’ve actually played them over and over to see how quickly I can do it. Thanks! ### 5/5 — A really well done puzzler *2020-06-25* This one is hard but not impossible. Great controls. Fun environments. I really enjoyed the experience and am a fan of this developer’s games ### 5/5 — Super! *2020-06-20* J’adore ce jeux! Il est bien. Graphismes et intrigues au top. Dommage qu’il n’y est que peu de jeu de ce genre. Vivement la suite ### 5/5 — Y E S *2020-06-02, version 1.03* Best one yet!! Thanks so much for this!😄 ### 5/5 — Non-functional Broken Crank Screen in Tower *2020-06-02* I have been enjoying this game on a daily basis up until today. The broken crank in the tower is not responding to taps. I have tried exiting the game and re-opening it several times to no avail. Help, please! This is a beautiful game and otherwise thoroughly enjoyable. I will upgrade my rating when I can proceed with the game. Update: After receiving a prompt reply from the tech support group, I am updating this game to a five star. There was no indication that the crank exchange had taken place when I returned to the tower, but somehow it had. As I said, the tapping did nothing. I also want to add that this game has a wonderful balance between indoor and outdoor scenes with beautiful graphics. I highly recommend it! **Developer response:** Hi Whoanell, If you switched the broken crank in the tower with the good one you no longer need the broken one, you can use the good crank in the stump at the forest of seasons to continue your game, if you still need help please reach us at www.mediacitygames.com to provie more detailed help.
