Despite playing this on supposedly the most challenging settings, this was not a difficult game. The progression was quite predictable and the games were not really challenging at all. Overall, the game was still quite enjoyable, but it won’t be memorable. ### 3/5 — Good but annoying glitch *2021-05-22, version 1.0.0* Enjoyed this game but found it annoying that it seemed unable to save the difficulty chosen. Usually go for custom settings but tried this and it kept resetting ### 3/5 — Good, but a major bug *2021-03-08, version 1.0.0* I really wanted to enjoy this, and what’s not to like: Jazz, good storyline, great graphics, but one major bug really ruined it for me. When I play these, I like to customize my settings. However, the game won’t let you - it reverts to the default no matter how man6 times you try. Really frustrating, and caused me to abandon the game, which is a shame. ### 5/5 — Kiss of Death *2020-06-02, version 1.0.0* Wanted to keep playing! Very addicting! I thought once you paid the money though,that you got to keep playing and playing I didn’t know it only included a bonus game. That was the only issue I had! ### 4/5 — 🥂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 *2020-04-29, version 1.0.0* Nice game, a bit basic puzzles, HOs mixed, some of the boring type and some a bit more interesting, not the longest of games, but all in all good value if, like me, you can get it on sale....😉 ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2019-09-10, version 1.0.0* Interesting storyline and amazing graphics. Love this series. ### 5/5 — Loved it!! *2019-09-03, version 1.0.0* I didn’t like how long it took to skip a mini game but the scenes were breathtaking and the story held my interest the whole time. Has a very modern vibe to the game. ### 3/5 — 残念 *2019-08-21, version 1.0.0* 高くて買えないので、途中で止まったまま💦 ### 5/5 — Top Notch! *2019-05-17, version 1.0.0* I love the storyline, graphics, and music. I will definitely purchase this game!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-03-02, version 1.0.0* You guys did NOT disappoint me at ALL...Beautiful music, scenery...The colors are vibrant, AND the lead character is an African American female!🥰🥰🥰Yup, I'm LOVING EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOR, thank you!! ### 5/5 — Kiss of death *2019-03-02, version 1.0.0* One of the best games I have played in a long time. Nice break from mythical monsters and paranormal. Loved the music , characters and games. The scenes with Hidden objects were extremely well done. ### 5/5 — More than worthy of 5 stars *2019-01-07, version 1.0.0* How did I miss this game in 2015!? I played it for the first time in November 2018 and was stunned at its high quality. Unbelievably clever, cool music. Innovative HO games. Intriguing storyline. Interesting characters. I've not seen anything to match this game in innovation across the board, and I've been playing games for nearly a decade. Perhaps the developers tweaked some things recently? From beginning to end, a winner. I'm holding onto this one. ### 4/5 — Was pretty good *2019-01-03, version 1.0.0* I liked this game a lot. The story was great and it was fun. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I didn’t like that there is no custom difficulty setting. If I’m not understanding or just want to pass a mini game I would like for the skip to quickly work. Same thing with the hint button it’s just too slow. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid in 2021 *2023-04-19, version 1.0.0* No longer recognizes my purchase (which is on record as being purchased in the App Store) even with restore purchase function. Unfortunately Big Fish has no support for its mobile games anymore. You take a gamble whenever you purchase. ### 1/5 — Kiss of Death *2021-06-16, version 1.0.0* Not worth the money. I would like a refund before I buy another game! ### 1/5 — Keine spielempfehlung *2021-05-27* Extrem lange Ladezeiten, sehr träge. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2021-05-26, version 1.0.0* Purchased this game but doesn’t recognize the purchase and keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Kiss of Death *2021-05-24, version 1.0.0* Skip and hint always stays at 90 seconds even though I set it to 15 seconds. I removed and reinstalled the game with the same results. Reported this to App Support but as usual they didn’t respond. Please fix this. I’m playing on an iPad. ### 1/5 — Spyware *2019-11-13, version 1.0.0* Downloaded this and paranormal pursuit and one put a isplash invitation at the bottom on my mail page ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for this *2019-03-11, version 1.0.0* Bought game because 50% off downloaded , came to open came just kept crashing... would not open. Turned off iPad, then uninstalled downloaded again from cloud but same thing happened. As yet no one offering refund... so annoyed! ### 1/5 — Euer Ernst?... hängende App für € 7,99 *2018-04-23* Ich habe gerade € 7,99 für das freischalten gezahlt und jetzt hängt die App im Labor (ich sollte die Blutproben untersuchen) - es geht weder vor noch zurück (mit der Laborantin kann man nicht sprechen und die Situation mit der pfeilzurücktaste auch nicht verlassen). Ein Neustart bringt nichts - es wird an der hakenden stelle wieder eingesetzt und man kann den Ort nicht verlassen. Nimmt man die Karte zur Hilfe, sind alle Punkte rot markiert und man bekommt beim anwählen die Anzeige "es gibt nichts zu tun"... Liebe Entwickler: Echt jetzt? Ist das euer Ernst? ### 1/5 — Eh *2018-04-03, version 1.0.0* The music and premise are good but it is not a well made game. Tends to be unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Why 1 star? *2018-02-16, version 1.0.0* Because I got cheated for $2.99. There are two of the same game in the store and this one did not work on my iPad after paying the in-app purchase. So I had to pay the same $2.99 for a new download of a different game. REFUND ME! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ジャズがオシャレ *2022-12-26, version 1.0.0* ボーナス含めボリュームはちょっと物足りなかったけど楽しめた ### 5/5 — STUNNING *2022-11-21, version 1.0.0* An absolutely gorgeous game. Great, involving storyline and graphics. All of the Cadenza games are good, but this one is on another level! ### 5/5 — Love the game Cadenza *2021-08-14, version 1.0.0* I am from New Orleans where the game and bonus game takes place. I loved the scenery. It was a fun game. ### 5/5 — Kiss of death *2021-06-15, version 1.0.0* Wish the new games aren’t so dark. I can’t see some of the scenes. All the new games are like this. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2021-06-08* Brilliant game 😁❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing music *2021-06-06, version 1.0.0* I am very impressed with the background jazz! ### 5/5 — One of the best. *2021-05-26, version 1.0.0* Great characters and story line. Love the LA accents!! Nice touch. ### 5/5 — Sandman *2021-05-23, version 1.0.0* If you like Jazz...this series is sooo relaxing 🥰 ### 5/5 — Not your usual *2021-05-23, version 1.0.0* Fun games and surprising twists and turns ### 5/5 — Kiss of Death *2021-04-15, version 1.0.0* This is one of best games so far.... I’ve played a lot of Big Fish games and this one is definitely in the top ten... especially if your like me and our completely over witches, dragons, etc.... Also stay away from Haunted Hotel series there is something with them some kind of glitch... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
