So I’m writing this review in 2026 because I love this game that much. It’s one of the very few games that let me explore the world freely. I’m still hoping for an update but I still love it. I haven’t encountered any glitches or bugs in all of the years that I’ve played it and it’s very well done. Two thumbs up and five stars from me.

This one is a keeper. Difficult but not impossible.
This game is fantastic! Atmospheric, engaging, and challenging. I replay it once or twice a year hoping that they’ll come out with more content!
I enjoyed the mazes of the town, the search for keys and cards and keeping track of where I was. I also enjoyed having tasks to complete! This game was not like The Room Series where you solve complex puzzles. This was more like a maze where you search for resources and keep track of where you are and where you need to go. For that, I enjoyed it very much. Cool graphics too! I hope you make another game!!

I have played this many times through, and I just really enjoy being in the space of this game. It takes place in an abandoned theme park on a moonlit night and you wander wherever you can go, collecting items and achievements and completing goals. I find it strangely relaxing. I can see it has been a while since an update, but my dream is that the creator would expand the game even more using some of the spare doors. It is a very soothing weird atmosphere to be in, and the game is wonderfully complex and visually compelling.

I have been stuck in the Wilcox house for weeks. No way out. Keeps telling me to use a tool card to open the upstairs bedroom but none work. I was really getting into the game but now I just want to quit. Took some getting used to the game play but overall a four start game. But with this Wilcox bug that I now see from another review has been known I feel cheated. Fix the game.

…I’ve checked back in often over the years and no update or new areas as promised. It is so disappointing that so many doors are still locked so pretty sure it’s all it’s ever going to be. This could be such an amazing game with endless possibilities for expansions!
I am hoping for a sequel so much. I have played every single point and click, hidden object, puzzle games there is and this one is on my top 3 for sure. Played twice within 5 years. Its incredibly done.
Alleys was so fun and engaging. I’m shocked more people aren’t talking about this game. It’s in league with The Room series, Eyes of Ara, and the DaVinci games but from a small independent developer. Such an interesting world to walk around and explore. You certainly get your money’s worth and then some.

I want my money back since a bug is making it unplayable. Like another reviewer, my card for the library doesn’t function. And as they also saw, the app unwrapper walkthrough has a different and easier version of the game.
Really wish the doors for future expansion were available. It has been 3 years and I love this game. Pretty please - more doors!
This game is utterly amazing it’s my favourite game ever. When will you be making another one please please we need more of this type of game
Great game! Would like to finish playing when it is finished. I can’t complete the last part of the game because the game glitched in the 2nd staff room and the tool card disappeared. It’s not in my inventory and doesn’t regenerate after reloading.
This is the first time I’ve ever left a review. I love the concept of this game, but unfortunately, after trying four times to get through the game, I still haven’t finished! I deleted and download the game several times, hoping it would work. Each time I got stuck in Chester Wilcox’s house, and couldn’t find a way out. The game kept telling me that I had the right card to get to the third-floor, but as I tried each card I had, it didn’t work. This is happened four times! Guess I’m gonna give up. It’s really sad because this game has a lot of potential.

I love escape games and this one is awesome. I wish there were more like it and more from this developer!I am playing it for a second time and really wish that some of the expansions they had planned in the game were available now!
Every time I try and get the tool card from the 2nd staff room (one located in tunnel/sewer) the game freezes. When I restart the game there isn’t a new tool card nor a card lying around in the room. The tool just disappears.
I rarely pay for random games these days and this is why. I only played it for maybe 20 minutes before I lost TOTAL interest, and I am a VERY patient person. I rarely want my money & time back for many things, but in this case I most definitely want my money AND time back… What a disappointment. Graphics look decent in the previews, and that’s about it.

Played game twice. Fun, but first time I got burned by leaving the park. Can’t go back to explore. So, played again, got enough to leave again, but I want to find other achievements . Secret ones listed on the achieve page. Emailed developer, says to go on Discord groups. Garbage life. Just give some hints or charge for them! YouTube vids are no help. Only for beginners. Dumb imho.

The hints don’t seem to mean anything. What does 2m mean? The library card doesn’t open the library. AppUnwrapper has a different version that is easier than the version I downloaded, so I can’t even use the walkthrough. The instructions about what to do next make sense, but it is utterly unclear how to do these things. Too aggravating. Gave up after an hour of not getting anywhere significant. Reloaded. Still stuck. It keeps telling me to choose the tool card to open library, but neither card works. Cant get anywhere. Maybe not updated for latest iOS?

I have been addicted to puzzle and escape games for a year or so now, I must have tried hundreds in that time. Before this I don’t think I had ever completed a game in my life. The obvious ones that most people love are the original room games, I have completed all 4 of them at least 2 or 3 times and love them, as do I love House of Da Vinci and all of the Enchanted games, though completely different still highly addictive . I saw this game a couple of days ago and downloaded it immediately after seeing the great reviews. I will be honest it did take a couple of hours to get used to it, seemed a bit busy at first. I couldn’t understand the tool cards but these are basically like an inventory, also the check points and information points but once the penny dropped I was hooked. You need patience and an eye for detail but please trust me this game is worth every single penny and I hope the developers are planning more like this or maybe a follow up? I haven’t finished it yet it is a big game in my opinion but just so hard to put down, that is why I am writing this review to stop me playing it. Try to not get lost in the mine, and the phone box can only be used once to go to the attic and back to the mine. This really is different to anything else and there is so much to it for just £5, this could be the bargain of the year don’t hesitate download it but don’t make any plans for a couple of days...... I was supposed to be going to a bonfire night with the wife but I am at home trying to finish this 😉
