### 1/5 — Ad Farm

*2022-09-18*

I opened the game for the first time and was immediately bombarded by like 5 ads, couldn’t even get to the game before it got exhausting. The game also plays upside down on iPad, no rotation ability.

*2026-06-01*

Too many adds even after paying for it. Sensitivity sucks just over a lousy poorly made game

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!

*2024-09-13*

this is a copy of a roblox game. The camera is terrible, it's copying, and is locked and loaded with ads. If you do ANYTHING an ad will pop up. Do not download this game.

### 1/5 — What the. ?

*2023-06-21*

This game has terrible controls and is a total copy of the real game

### 1/5 — A copy , ad farm and bad

*2023-02-27*

Okay i need to name like 5 or 6 things on this game first they freaking copied aperiphobia the roblox game like the ad screens are a recreations of some aperiphobia places in this idiotic game and even the main menu is a picture of the titan smiler chasing you through level 6 Run for your life ! In aperiphobia and even the main name is copy it is itrealy the same name and secondly it is a freaking ad farm that plays ads when you start , play , take hints , collect keys and entity chases you and even the hints are useless because after the ad plays it won’t give you a hint thirdly the game plays the siren screaming sound from aperiphobia randomly which is copying and anoyying and it is hard to open doors and collect keys and it says i do not have a red key even if i have it also the ntity do not make a sound which means it does not give you a freaking alert which is bad and the entit have a freaking bad ai and the entity takes a long time to load completely which makes him look goofy and the entity desgin ain’t original because it is a copy of the titan smiler from aperiphobia and it has no jumpscare so it is not scary and this game freaking throws the backrooms liminality concept throw the trash !

### 1/5 — Absolutely trash

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2022-09-28*

Schrott,kann mich nicht richtig bewegen,wenn ich mich Umschauen will funktioniert es nicht richtig

### 1/5 — Copy

*2022-09-28*

Ok I can name 4 things on what is wrong with this game FIRST  when you press the run button it doesn’t even matter bc u barely run faster SECONDLY the game screen before you start the game is literarily just a copy from the Roblox game called APEIROPHOBIA And it’s game screen is just the smiler from the Roblox game from level ! (Level run for your life) AND the entity doesn’t even make any noise SO YOU CANT TELL WHEN ITS BEHIND YOU (That’s how I died) and this is last thing the game sensitivity was GARBEGE like I had to turn it all the way down to see normally ok that’s all (SRy for long review)
