### 5/5 — The Story!!!

*2022-07-23, version 1.0.0*

What an absolutely fantastic storyline. So much fun and history.

### 5/5 — I absolutely love it

*2022-05-29*

I have been a fan for five years and I have to say this kind of game really tingles my brain.

### 5/5 — Best cadenza

*2021-12-02, version 1.0.0*

Best storyline out of the cadenza series

### 3/5 — Cadenza: Musik,Betrug und Tod

*2021-01-13, version 1.0.0*

Das Spiel wird angeboten auf deutsch und wenn ich es runterlade ist es auf englisch. Wie bekomme ich es auf deutsch. Auf eine Antwort würde ich mich freuen.

### 5/5 — A great game.

*2020-07-02*

I’m enjoying this game a lot. The games are original.

### 2/5 — Glitches in bonus

*2020-06-03*

Didn’t really find any glitches until the very end but after completing the game and finding all 40 of the bonus items the bonus content did not unlock as it was supposed to which is frustrating after all that work. It is very small to be played on iPhone even for me, a 22 year old with perfect vision, but I didn’t have to skip any mini-games or puzzles and just had to go back to find hidden music notes I missed the first time (sadly for no reason /: ). Would have been a great game otherwise

### 1/5 — DONT BUY!!

*2017-11-25, version 1.0.0*

There are glitches in the game that prevent you from moving on. For example, there was a dictation machine that I was supposed to use on a map and when trying to do the puzzle for it, the machine disappeared and needed to start the whole game over to avoid the glitch. Such a waste of money. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-01-22*

Haven't finished it yet, but so far it's fun, good story, and amazing music.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-12-31, version 1.0.0*

I have played a ton of Big Fish games, and this series is one of my favorites! Great graphics and storyline.

### 4/5 — Cadenzas

*2016-11-13*

I enjoyed the storyline. But I found it a bit disjointed when following clues I wish we could have some really good old fashioned adventure games where there were no in game buying but you acquired all you needed through your efforts in the game It was much,much better when games were played like that,and the thing I hate the most is the hidden objects part of the games.They are really annoying . Any one else feel the same? And anyone out there that can produce the sort of game I've discribed ?
