Because it feels like it should be a twist that only should have been in the bad ending. ### 3/5 — Average *2025-09-03* I played until I made a correct choice but the gane tells me wrong and someone is shot. Pretty early in the game. I started again, because Im a perfectionist. Made the other choice. Wrong again. So the game tricks you in thinking you choices will matter, but its linear and they dont. Next riddle with numbers didnt make any sense either. Takes out the fun for me. There are better games or gamebooks like this. ### 3/5 — Felt like an e-reader moment *2025-06-02* This game has potential… I didn’t mind the dialogue and the interactions with various characters. What was off pudding is the excessive use for the player to respond with wrong answers and with asinine responses…that could have been clumped together…..since we are prompted to lose a ticket…each time we responded. Also, please provide details or a “ how to play” section for each mini game. I was sitting here just hitting everything waiting to reach 100%. The game itself didn’t warrant me to want to shell out any money at this time.. ### 3/5 — Love this game but… *2025-04-12* I thoroughly enjoyed this game; however, I strongly urge anyone playing to not buy anything in-game. It doesn’t work. I tried to get some tickets because I wanted to keep playing (rather than waiting) - it took my money but never gave the tickets. I emailed them but had no response. Disappointing, but the game itself & the story are really good! Admittedly I did get stuck with some puzzles but I genuinely love a good brainteaser! So I really enjoyed it 😊 ### 5/5 — MAGNIFIQUE !!!! *2024-11-15* Le jeu est tellement bien fait, hyper immersif, prenant que j’ai pleuré 😭 c’est magnifique. L’histoire, l’intrigue, enfin tout fait que c’est génial et très émouvant 💖 Bravo et merci !!! J’espère qu’il y aura une suite ou une autre histoire toute aussi captivante. ### 5/5 — Bellissimo *2024-10-22* Storia avvincente e ben strutturata! L’ho adorato dall’inizio alla fine! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-09-21* I was so excited to play this game because I love interactive stories but the tickets are absurd. The storyline is interesting and the graphics are great but the gameplay is ruined when it takes 20 minutes to get ONE singular ticket (Tickets are needed for everything in this game). I do not have the patience or attention span to wait 20 minutes for a ticket to complete a task that only takes 2 seconds to tap on the screen. Not to mention the “watch an ad for 5 tickets” that doesn’t actually work and freezes right after the ad so you never even get the reward. Even if that did work the point of these games is to be completely immersed in the storyline but sadly that isn’t possible if you have to watch an ad every 2 minutes. Loved the game and would’ve understood if tickets were fully refilled in 20 minutes but for each individual ticket is ridiculous, unsustainable and honestly only held my interest for 30 minutes. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-06-24* I really enjoyed this. Best thing is that there aren't any stupid mini games that are only made to get your money. Tickets refill or can be earned through watching ads. No real money needs to be spent nor are they trying to get you to do it. The plot is really interesting, I really was sad when it endet. ### 5/5 — Great game! I love it *2024-05-29* Bitte Teil 2!!! Sehr spannendes Spiel…. Interessante Geschichte, konnte nicht aufhören zu spielen! Es wird einem auch nicht so schwer gemacht weiterzuspielen ,indem man mit Minigames Punkte sammeln muss, wie in vielen anderen interaktiven Spielen. Die Rätsel die man lösen muss sind nicht zu schwer und man kann immer auf Hilfe zurückgreifen… die Punkte, die man zum Spielen braucht laden wieder auf, und wenn man nicht warten möchte, kann man diese kaufen, oder Werbung anschauen… Das Spiel gibt es nur auf Englisch und Französisch, was mich persönlich nicht im Geringsten gestört hat. Gerne mehr davon!!!! ### 3/5 — Please make it so that we can continue without paying or watching multiple ads to continue *2024-05-13* It’s relatively good, It has a pretty good storyline and is a fun game. The only complaint I have against it is that after some time it requires you to pay or watch multiple ads to continue playing. You need to get tickets by watching ads, and you use these tickets to continue playing the game. I would prefer it if the game were completely free and maybe had a few ads in between every now and again instead. ### 5/5 — Well done…just well done. *2024-04-27* This game. OHMYGOD. It is a rollercoaster ride at its finest!! The ending was just…WOW! I had never played a phone detective game before blue orchid, and I can say confidently this will be the best one I will ever play!! #1, There were no bugs! The game was completely playable! #2, as far as I can remember, the puzzles were pretty easy. #3, I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but seriously…that ending BLEW MY MIND! thank you so much to the creators of this mind blowing game! Good job guys! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Schade *2026-03-07* Lässt sich leider nicht auf deutsch spielen. Daher bin ich leider raus. ### 1/5 — ***DON’T BUY!! *** *2025-10-12* Premium DOES NOT give unlimited access!! Tried to get my $ back from Apple & couldn’t. WASTE OF MONEY!! ### 1/5 — Kein deutsch *2025-09-16* Da stand doch das es auch auf deutsch geht wieso geht es dann nd ### 1/5 — SCAM! *2025-09-14* Do not buy in this game. I’ve no idea why this is still allowed up. ### 1/5 — This game made me blue…… *2024-06-13* After reading the reviews, I was excited to play as I love interactive games. Regrettably this one did not hit the mark. To keep it simple I created a pro and cons list: Pros 1.Graphics 2.No forced ads Cons 1. Typos in dialogue 2.You have to spend tickets in order to reply to the characters in the game. 3. The storyline is lackluster and drawn out so you spend money on tickets or watch ads to continue 🙄 (to be fair, you earn 1 ticket every 20 minutes) 4. There is zero information on how to complete the puzzles. You see a picture and then you’re just supposed to magically know the answer when you no clue why it’s even there. Lastly, the ending irritated me. It was abrupt and….. ### 1/5 — Dommage pour la fin *2024-04-17* Le jeu est génial mais la fin complètement bâclée. Termine sur un suspense pfff ### 1/5 — Weitere Sprachen *2023-12-21* Laut Beschreibung soll das Spiel in 6 weiteren Sprachen spielbar sein Ich finde allerdings keine Möglichkeit die Sprache zu verändern und damit bleibt das Spiel nur auf englisch spielbar. ### 1/5 — Idioma *2023-09-12* Dice que está en español el juego pero cuando sale la opción de seleccionar el idioma solo sale Inglés y Francés. ### 2/5 — Premium for what *2025-10-20* I was so disappointed that the $10 premium package didn’t include unlimited tickets. I guess it didn’t explicitly say that, but it felt implied. Not actually sure what I got. Felt like a slap in the face ### 2/5 — Did not receive rewards *2025-06-06* Story seemed interested, I'm usually the type to want to spend a few dollars on a game to encourage them. So bought the pass. Payment went through but the pass did not activate. Impossible to reach support and Apple gave no refund... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A very good game *2026-08-12* This game is so good firstly it will some how look like an horror game but if you finish you will see your true colour what you were about Alicia’s past and I will say a good job😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰you guys are the best wow please download please I will download all your games from now on ### 5/5 — Meilleur jeu *2026-07-07* Wow.. je viens tout juste de terminer le jeu et c’était géniale ! Je me suis vraiment attaché au personnage. C’est dommage qu’il ne soit pas plus long je l’ai terminer en une journée ! C’était incroyable. J’espère vraiment que ce ne sera pas le seul thriller interactif que vous ferez ! Merci ! ### 5/5 — I liked it *2026-05-23* This was a very interesting game and I really liked the story. ### 5/5 — Finally Finished *2025-10-08* That ending gagged me so bad lol I finally got around to finishing the game and I loved every minute of it ### 5/5 — Master classe *2025-09-01* C’était trop bien j’ai fini le jeux Il est trop bien il y a pas de pub je vous le conseil franchement !!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Génial *2025-08-28* L’histoire est vraiment interessante pleine de dénouement, les énigmes sont fun a résoudre seule problème ces que j’aurais pus encore faire 10 chapitre tellement le jeux était bien. On embarque bien dans l’histoire et on s’attache au personnage 10/10 ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2025-01-28* I have never recommended a phone game to anyone before. This is the first one I have raved about. The game kept me engaged, it kept me on my toes and I enjoyed the fact I could make assumptions before hand. I hope to see more games by these developers. Really outdone themselves. My only peeve, I had to watch A LOT of videos for only 5 turns. I would be happy if it were every 10. ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2025-01-01* Very fun to play! Interesting story and good puzzles! Really loved it! I hope maybe in the future there will be more of this game! Amazing🤩 ### 5/5 — Echt gutes Game *2024-12-27* Ich verstehe nicht warum dieses Spiel so wenig Bewertungen hat, da es ein echt aufwendig und komplexes Spiel mit guter Storyline ist (wer auch immer auf so weirde Story Ideen kommt). Für alle Menschen die gerne Rätsel lösen und Kriminalfälle mögen empfehle ich dieses Spiel. Durch die Nachricht von Dylan am Ende würde ich mir wirklich einen zweiten Teil wünschen auch wenn der erste nicht so bekannt wurde!!! ### 5/5 — Very engaging! *2024-12-02* Very interesting guys --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
