Fun story, but nothing unusual about the puzzles. ### 3/5 — Too short and easy *2025-04-01* I was so disappointed on how short it was. How is it 1.3 Gb? Left me hanging for sure. ### 2/5 — It keeps crashing *2020-07-27* I cant load past the first picture. Like the intro with the helicopter. I bought the bundle so I went ahead and played the 2nd one (which I love) so I’m bummed I cant play this one. Maybe its a bug or an update they can help with. ### 4/5 — Angenehm mit witzigen Look, aber kurz *2020-04-20* Guter Stil mit englischen Humor, paar Easter Eggs und soweit guter Steuerung. Es ist nur recht kurz, bin aber gespannt auf die zweite Episode, welche anspruchsvoller und länger sein soll. ### 4/5 — Hilarious, creative, wonderful point and click game *2019-03-19* This is the definition of point and click adventure games. I’ve been playing point and click games since I was about 9. I’m 23 now, and have played many p&c games both on PC and iPhone. this one is definitely in my top 5. The artwork, the creativity, the voices, the storyline, the hilarious and witty commentary... it’s all awesome. I’d be more than willing to pay again for another installment! I’ve played the first and second game already and am currently replaying the first. The only and I mean only issue I faced with this game was a glitch that unfortunately sent me back to the start of the game because I could not get past it. However, I enjoyed this game so much that I didn’t mind playing it again to continue the gameplay from where I got stuck. Other than that... Great job to the developers in every single way!!! I’m hoping for a 3rd game :) ### 4/5 — Fun little game *2019-03-18* Very entertaining. Definitely worth it for the story alone. It’s short, but I get that it’s kind of a teaser for part 2. Could have been more challenging though. The solutions are pretty straightforward, and what is with the two running games thrown in? Seemed out of place. Can’t wait to play the second part and find out who this Geoff guy really is! ### 3/5 — Super Spiel, viel zu kurz. *2019-01-11* Normal 5⭐️ + Aber es ist so verdammt kurz, im Vergleich zu InnerWorld zum Beispiel. Spiel ist trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert. ### 3/5 — Great gameplay but disappointingly short *2018-05-27* Lovely game, but way too short! The five chapters are all extremely easy so the game only takes a few hours to complete ### 4/5 — Legalzinho *2017-12-06* O jogo é bem equilibrado, puzzles simples e lógicos, mas muito curto. Ainda bem que peguei numa promoção. ### 3/5 — :-| *2017-11-29* Um eins vorab zu sagen, das Spiel ist nichts für Kinder. Jedenfalls hätte ich es nicht gern, wenn mein Kind Leichenteile zusammensuchen/-setzen muss.... Das Spiel selbst ist gut gemacht, nette Story mit deutschen Untertiteln und englischer Sprachausgabe. Aber es ist supersupersuper einfach und endet nach sehr kurzer Zeit, mitten in der Geschichte mit dem Vermerk „Fortsetzung folgt!“. Naja, nach über zwei Jahren eher unwahrscheinlich, dass da noch was kommt. ### 4/5 — Worth your time! *2017-11-26* Fun, quirky, and compelling story line. If you love Clue, you’ll adore this gem! ### 3/5 — Original but not challenging *2017-10-27* I found the characters to be original and amusing and thought it looked quite good. The problem for me is that the gameplay was very basic, so basic that I'm not sure the creators have played a point and click adventure before... It was pretty much picking up one item and moving it somewhere else to progress the story. Little logical thinking involved. No puzzles. The context was aimed at adolescent adults but the content was geared for young children. ### 4/5 — A bit short *2017-08-31* I completed this in the first day playing on and off. So I think it's a little short. The puzzles are pretty easy too. Having said that the humour and acting are great. It's a worth point and click. ### 2/5 — Mildly Amusing but too short *2017-08-30* As others have noted you can finish it in under an hour. But for a couple of dollary-doos what can you expect. The story is incomplete so you'll have to shell out 3 times that for the next episode. I wouldn't bother. ### 3/5 — Very good *2017-08-29* I like point and click adventure games and I throughly enjoyed this one. Funny, entertaining and great animations! It could have been a little more challenging but I don't think that hurts the gameplay at all, it's still really enjoyable. I would have given 5 stars but for the money it costs it is really short in comparison to other point and click adventure games, so don't really feel there's much value for money on this one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 不支持中文 *2024-07-02, version 1.2* 不支持中文 ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-05-01* An absolute joke! It took me less than 2h to finish the game! And that costed me £2?! Total rip off! Also - too easy. ### 1/5 — Update please !! *2020-11-01* iOS 14 Problem !! Das Intro fehlt am Anfang :( Das Spiel braucht dringend ein Update !! ### 1/5 — Problems with IPad Pro *2019-02-18* How about fixing these problems with the iPad Pro? The game shots down quite often. And it’s been a while. Any thoughts on this? Nah? How about a refound? ### 1/5 — Chasing the thief! *2018-02-14* Once Bertram and his sidekick are outside, the carrier with the dog is taken and they start chasing the thief. Once I get to the end of the chase the game locks up and all I get is a frozen screen shot and music! I’ve tried playing the game in each provided slot, deleting and reloading all to no avail. Playing on iPad Pro 7.9 with the latest iOS update and more than enough memory. So disappointed. ### 1/5 — Underwhelming *2017-10-03, version 1.2* The storyline is weak, dialog is uninspired, and aspects of “Gavin’s” dialog and character are incredibly racist. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-09-25* Crashed at the end of the first scene -- every time. I even deleted and re-downloaded it, to no avail. (This was on my iPhone. Maybe it works on iPad?) ### 1/5 — Horrified! *2015-02-15, version 1.1* I was loving this game and all the funny phrases and when I got into the carriage to start chapter 3. The game crashed. I loaded it back up again and when I tapped load game I realised it had not saved my progress!!!! I truly horrified. Good game while it lasted but I strongly recommend to not purchase this game sa it will crash. ### 1/5 — Seems good *2014-12-30* I was excited to play this game and had read over all of the positive reviews, however when I opened the game it wouldn't let me start any games, it just closed the app. It was a little disappointing to pay six dollars for a start screen! ### 1/5 — Frozen in dark alley BUGGY!!! Please update w/fix *2014-12-16, version 1.0* Cute game, would like it better if it wasn't frozen and I could finish it. Have IPad4, I have tried everything to get it going with no luck. Fix it and I'll give it a much higher rating. It is disappointing to pay so much for an unplayable game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-01-24* One of the best looking, best designed and funny point and click adventures on the market. Please develop part 3, it’s been too long! ### 5/5 — Wonderfully spiffing adventure *2020-10-27* Very good presentation and voice acting, puzzles aren’t difficult so the story keeps a good pace. Undoubtedly the best game where you have a cyclops sidekick. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2018-12-06* A little simple but fun and easy to learn how to use. Very funny and cute, and a little bit naughty ### 5/5 — Funny characters, great story! *2018-06-22* Loved the voices and the dingy Victorian setting. I haven’t played a point-and-click adventure game for a while and this reminded me of just how much story you can get out of this genre. The character names are hilarious and really punny. Very British! Really recommend it. Looking forward to playing the next one! ### 5/5 — Excellent part 1... *2018-03-15* As others have pointed out this is a witty classic point-and-click game. It's a little short but a nice warm up for part 2 which is far more substantial! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2017-09-22* Thank you for the humour in the game! Honestly, small references to other popular books, tv shows( Doctor Who!) etc. Just great! ### 5/5 — Toll👍⭐️ *2017-08-31* Echt cool gemacht😁 Und es macht Mega Spaß ✨👍 Ich freu mich auf den zweiten Teil 😎 ### 5/5 — So far so great *2017-08-28* I have played through the first chapter and I am already hooked! Definitely worth the money. The art style, voices and hilarity in just one chapter was incredible. I would highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — A quaint little murder *2017-08-26* A relaxing point-and-click murder mystery with great art and writing. Well worth the price. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-07-28, version 1.2* Please more!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
