### 2/5 — Mobile users, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!

*2024-03-28*

So I play on an IPad and I really wanted to try this game out because a YouTuber tried it. It looked cool at the time but then I realized that this is bad for mobile users! There is a glitch that when the shadow catcher comes, you can’t hide from him because he comes so fast without warning! I have absolutely no idea how to take the families orders and I have no clue why when Maude and Samantha are talking, the chat is broken making it hard to read the chat. The chat does not appear as full sentences sometimes and skips that passage and moves on to the next chat bubble but never finished the sentence the where talking about! It will probably be easier on a strong device like a MacBook or computer. Thank you for reading. I don’t recommend getting this app but it’s completely your choice. Please fix this. Thank you!

### 4/5 — You can’t take the orders

*2024-01-14*

I was playing the game it was perfect. The layout was perfect but I started by the table which isn’t good and I spawned on top of the light which killed me immediately there needs to be more time and I can’t take the orders.

### 5/5 — Play this game you won’t regret it

*2023-04-23*

It is so fun even though I lose in the first try it is still fun 
Play man from the window for even more fun

### 5/5 — Do not download!

*2023-04-16*

I’m only rating this 5 stars so people can see this. When I downloaded the game it seemed normal but right when I took one step the man came in and got me and my iPad crashed! DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 5/5 — Do not get this app

*2023-04-10*

The shadow catcher runs to the kitchen where no one is and I automatically die and I can’t even get the orders if I wanna do and I’m only giving us five stars so people can see it thank you and you really need to fix this game no hate to the Game creator but there’s an ad every five seconds and you should just make The man from the window.

### 5/5 — SCAM

*2023-03-11*

You start off but when it says “ok so” you get an add and then your just look at a black wall you can’t even turn around so it’s a scam they just want downloads so don’t download it

### 5/5 — fake.

*2023-02-12, version 1.0*

this game won’t even let you grab stuff. I just give it five star so people can see this review boring you just start off by looking at a wall and it skips a whole intro and there’s so many ads I mean, so so so many ads I do not recommend

### 1/5 — Not what it seems

*2023-02-08, version 1.0*

This is not what it seems this seems like Beware the Shadowcatcher but it’s not you get ads every second you can’t switch characters you can barley even move the character so do not download this game!!!😡😡😡

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! (I only gave five stars so this will be seen)

*2023-02-07, version 1.0*

Ok so I was searching up a game and saw this, I was suspicious at first since it wasn’t made by the same creator on the real game, but I downloaded it anyways. So first of all It has a LOT and I mean a LOT of ads. They randomly pop out of no where while the game is still running. Also, it skips the whole cut scene so u can only read this one part and then the rest just isn’t there. AND THEN U CANT EVEN PLAY THE GAME BECAUSE I CANT LOOK AROUND AND IM JUST STARING AT A WALL! U can’t even move or look around so u aren’t able to ask what the shadow people want to eat. The shadow catcher also appears once u get into the actual game and he won’t even go after and just goes in the kitchen when no one is there. Be sure to read the reviews on a game if it looks suspicious, mobile game developers will make ripoffs of games and trick people into downloading them. Like I said, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!

### 1/5 — don’t download it

*2023-01-26, version 1.0*

I downloaded it because it said it had good stars before I read the reviews but when I downloaded it it was good at first but then when I tried to turn the next word it skipped the whole thing and then there was an ad and. The shadow catcher kept coming in and I couldn’t even cook DONT DOWNLOAD IT

### 1/5 — PLEASE DO NOT GET!

*2024-06-03*

So I got this game because it looked alright but as soon as I join in it shows the bunny and then straight to an add! I mean I was fine but then they skipped a whole part of the game. After that it looked like I was looking at the ground or something so I try turning but I can’t even turn my screen. I just start walking around trying to find the table while still looking at the ground and then after like five seconds the monster thing comes right in! I don’t even know where it was going because I was not even in the kitchen! This game looked good by me seeing all those people playing it but it not good on a phone or tablet!😞

### 1/5 — This review is for the Creator(s)

*2024-02-28*

Can you Change the Game into The Actual Game Cause your Scamming People And making them Download a Fake Version of the Game DO NOT RATE THIS A 5 OR 4 OR 3 OR 2 STAR- This Should Be the Actual Game Can you Add a Update And Stuff so it’s like the Actual Game cause that would help A lot and if You Do it I will be happy to Rate a 5 Star if You Guys do it But I Might Delete This if I Don’t find out how we actually Play it and if The thing I was Talking About Doesn’t Happen-

### 1/5 — Pls read

*2024-01-07*

This game is horrible. I tried to search the game up to find any games because I really wanted to play it so bad. but turns out it’s just a horrible rip off. you can’t even order the food and you can’t even cook anything and also the shadow walker comes in every time and you can’t even hear him or see through the window. and also when he comes, he literally doesn’t literally really catch you and you can’t even see anything when you’re in his perspective and when you’re in his perspective, you randomly see another one. this game is trash.

### 1/5 — THIS IS A SCAM (must fix)

*2023-07-15*

So basically as soon as you tap anything on the screen it gives you an ad and then you can move kinda but you can’t even take orders and then it gives you 2 seconds before the shadow man comes and you instantly die. I wouldn’t recommend this app until it is fixed I will say this app is indeed a scam and you shouldn’t download it

### 1/5 — READ!!!!

*2023-06-23*

Okay so I had heard about the man from the window and I searched it up and this had popped up but the thing is it’s not from the same people who made the real game. Anyway I got the game and I first it was normal and Sam showed me the papers but then I glitched to the wall and you can’t turn around  so I went backwards and I couldn’t even take there order and then 5 seconds later the Shadowcatcher goes straight to the kitchen where

### 1/5 — READ IF YOU WANT TO GET BEWARE THE SHADOWCATCHER

*2023-06-13*

So I downloaded the game and the cover looked really good, so I thought that it might be good but NO. It gives me like 2 seconds before he arrives and you can’t leave the kitchen unless you want to die, even if he’s not there. There was also no opening cabinets for me. It also didn’t have a cutscene for when he leaves and it’s safe and so you have to look to see but that’s really hard when focusing on an order. The last thing I’ll mention is no sound. So you can’t hear his footsteps or anything.

### 1/5 — 0/5 WILL NOT BE WASTING MY TIME

*2023-06-06*

First off the quality is horrible. And the stranger is throwing it off and it’s nobody there I don’t see a another person and the theme is horrible it’s off brand u won’t be seeing me again I can’t even give you a star. YOU WILL NOT BE HEARING FROM ME AGAIN. And idk why this game is even on App Store.

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2023-02-20, version 1.0*

I can’t even play the game! It’s too easy to skip the into accidentally and I can’t even do anything without being teleported to the beginning! Just, wow. Make man from the window.

*2023-02-11, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Only rated five stars so you can see

*2024-08-01*

This game is absolutely terrible. I’ve been seeing so many different Youtubers playing this game and it looks really really fun so I decided I was gonna download it and as soon as I download it, it spawns me at the intro as normal but as soon as I press the arrow after Samantha‘s speaks, it sent me to an ad every single time so after I watch the ad or skip it, I just skip the entire game and I’m in front of the shadow family but I can’t press on them. I can’t take their order as soon as I move. I see these two guys with guns in their hands and walking around or I see the shadow catcher but he doesn’t come to me he just goes where no one is and I don’t remember the name, but she’s not even in the game. I find her, I can press nothing. I definitely do not recommend this game. I repeat. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 5/5 — (Five stars) THIS APP IS WONDERFUL

*2024-06-05*

If your gonna play this game just make sure you don’t play on a mobile because you can’t hide and the shadow catcher comes too fast! So make sure to play on a laptop or pc or anything but mobile

### 5/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD ( I only rated 5 stars so people will see this)

*2024-05-04*

I tap new game and the after the first word an ad pops up, when i skip the shadow catcher gos into the kitchen and no one is even there yet i die! So do not download it is terrible

### 5/5 — terrible

*2024-03-31*

(only rated five stars so people can see) this game is terrible like as soon as you start the game it’s the intro and then as soon as you press the arrows an ad comes on and then it doesn’t only skip the intro skip it skips the whole game and then there’s another add and then I asked you if you want to play again this is the most terrible game I have ever saw honestly like they need to do better on creating their games because this is terrible

### 5/5 — I only rated this 5 stars so it can show

*2024-03-29*

this game is terrible! This is a total rip off. The quality is sooo bad, and it wont even let you play the game! Theres no way this js the real "Beware the shadow catcher" .. DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! Its horrible! 😡

### 5/5 — Don’t download it

*2024-01-31*

I downloaded the game and I was excited to play it but as soon as I opened it to start playing it was. Black I couldn’t move and It was so bad (only gave it five stars so it can show up)

### 5/5 — Why you should not buy this game.

*2023-11-24*

As soon as you press new game there will be an add. Than I was looking at the wall and couldn’t let you move your screen. Than an add will pop up. Lastly the shadow catcher will come and boom you are dead.

### 5/5 — 5 so you can see

*2023-06-14*

ad’s every five seconds💀 You can barely function in the game

### 5/5 — I rated 5 star so it can show but 0/5 bad game

*2023-06-01*

I hate this game, when I press the arrow when Sam is trying to talk to me it just skips out all of the parts then something comes in the restruant and attacks me so I can’t do anything but be in the things point of view so don’t download it. It’s not worth the wait for it to load or it’s worth for writing this either because it’s so bad! 😤

### 5/5 — This game is trash

*2023-05-14*

I just found this game while looking for some other games like it. Then I saw I had it then deleted it. Wondering why, I downloaded it again. Then as soon as I loaded in the game I couldn’t move and it was black. Then I understood why I deleted it. I don’t know if this was a glitch or part of the game but seeing the reviews I don’t think it ‘s a glitch. Do not download! (I only put 5 stars so this would show up on the page)
