### 3/5 — Fun but not worth the money

*2023-12-18, version 1.0.0*

It was a good game, but it was solved in a couple of hours.

### 3/5 — Too short

*2023-03-09, version 1.0.0*

The game was too short! Ive played longer going games on this computer app

### 2/5 — Disgruntled

*2023-03-02, version 1.0.0*

Enjoying game until it decided I had not paid for them unlock even though I tried opening through payment history

### 2/5 — I regret buying this

*2023-02-07, version 1.0.0*

This was an interesting game with some fun puzzles, but it was such a short game for what I paid! I finished this in like an hour and a half and it cost me over 7 bucks.

### 2/5 — CAN’T PURCHASE FULL GAME

*2022-10-22, version 1.0.0*

I love this game, and when it asked if I wanted to unlock the full game, I clicked “unlock” but it says over and over again “purchase failed.”
Please help!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Can’t purchase

*2022-10-10*

I really like this game and would like to pay to keep playing, but it won’t let me purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips and tricks on how I can purchase more of the game?

### 3/5 — It’s great If you have the money for it….

*2022-08-22, version 1.0.0*

It lets you play long enough to let you get hooked then wants you to pay $7 to continue the game or you start all over 😡😤!

### 3/5 — Verg

*2022-04-01, version 1.0.0*

Good game just not impressed that it says it was not purchased when I tried to continue. I paid for this game a while back so I’m getting tired of trying to play my old purchased gamed and being told this. Sorry but real frustratiny

### 2/5 — Fun except…

*2021-11-10, version 1.0.0*

Great game with puzzles but was disappointed to find after going through the game I have to pay $6.99 to continue on?? Thanks for ruining the fun.

### 5/5 — Surprised at the program

*2021-09-18, version 1.0.0*

I AM OLD 76 AND HAD NOT TRIED AN IPAD STORY PROGRAM FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
I I WAS SHOCKED AT THE PRICE $ 6.99.

I WAS TIRED OF JIGSAW PUZZLES AND SOLITARY AND TRIED A LITTLE ADVENTURE.

I’M PARTLY THROUGH THE STORY AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED.

RUSS

I WILL BUY THE NEXT ADVENTURE WHEN TIS IS FINISHED.

### 3/5 — Zadam

*2021-06-18, version 1.0.0*

At the beginning pretty good so far

### 5/5 — Very Entertaining

*2021-04-19, version 1.0.0*

Totally worth the money!

### 1/5 — Very frustrating game

*2024-05-19, version 1.0.0*

I am playing on my iPhone, every time I try to get something out of my inventory, it takes me out of the game. I have to tap back to get into the game and everything is paused. It’s taking me three times as long to do anything. I’m just gonna play the introductory special and then find something else.

### 1/5 — Only part of it is free.

*2022-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Not fully a free game. Or else I would have given it 5 stars

### 1/5 — Unable to purchase..

*2022-10-07*

Please try again later.. managed to play the intro but can’t unlock full game. I use visa and works fine with every other app.
I believe only US residents can only purchase game.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2022-08-20, version 1.0.0*

As others have stated this isn’t a free game, after 2 or 3 levels you have to pay 6.99 to continue.

### 1/5 — Game won’t even start

*2022-06-29, version 1.0.0*

Black screen after Big Fish Logo

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2021-08-14*

It just goes from the play screen to the unlock screen. Can’t get anywhere else unless I pay for the game. What happened to the free trial?

### 1/5 — Problems

*2021-07-18, version 1.0.0*

I don’t know what could cause this but I can’t seems to start the game after the explication dialogue.

### 1/5 — What a cheat!!!

*2021-04-11, version 1.0.0*

You get about 5 minutes of play free, then they FORCE you to buy the rest of the game. In my book, that is NOT a “free” game!

### 1/5 — False Price Advertising

*2021-01-14, version 1.0.0*

Game gets you in with a low price then halfway through asks you to pay triple the cost of similar games in order to continue.  The advertisement indicates that it’s a bargain, but turns out it’s a jip.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even play it

*2020-12-18*

Would be great if I could actually get onto the game to play. Absolutely ridiculous!! The skip button wouldn’t let me click on it, just had a black screen, would be no stars if I could put that.

### 5/5 — Story is great!

*2024-01-01*

I've been playing these kinds of games over 10 years so you can believe me when I say the games story telling is good. Worth every dollar. Good job for all the who took part in this project!

### 5/5 — I bought this with my 1st iPad

*2023-12-22*

Now many years later I can enjoy this full game again on my latest iPad, an excellent and long game that I find hard to take myself away from. Great graphics even by today’s standards, I certainly recommend this one.

### 5/5 — Classy

*2023-01-12*

This is one very clever and classy well thought out game. One of the best I would say for its excellent programming capabilities. The actions are positive and clearly someone here has done their homework to produce such a brilliant and entertaining game.

### 5/5 — This is brilliant!

*2022-08-19*

This is a brilliant game, well well worth the small price. Super fun, great story, good graphics, fun and not too difficult puzzles. Would definitely purchase another from them - highly recommend. Gonna go back and play it again now 😅

### 5/5 — Just started but loving it

*2022-06-14, version 1.0.0*

Good graphics….enjoying it 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Best game ever!

*2022-05-15*

I had tons of fun playing this! You’ll love everything about it; the story, the graphics and the sound effects. I hope Big Fish adds more bonfire stories!

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2022-04-11, version 1.0.0*

I enjoy it too much

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-03-05, version 1.0.0*

Lo

### 5/5 — Interesting !!

*2021-12-30, version 1.0.0*

So far i love it

### 5/5 — Good Game But

*2021-12-22, version 1.0.0*

What happened to the Strategy Guide for this one? I got to the end coffin puzzle, got the name but had no idea what the number was. No notes to refer to, and no strategy guide.
