### 1/5 — Beware it will steal your money

*2023-09-11, version 1.0.0*

I was playing it even though it had boxy frames on every clickable from not being updated. And got to the download screen. I decided to pay and download the rest for the story. After download it closed up and won’t even open. $6.99 out the window!

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2022-07-02, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 1/5 — 不具合

*2021-12-31, version 1.0.0*

せっかくセールで買ったのに､画像がおかしいので、返金を要請したが、返答なく､あきらめて､数ヶ月後挑戦したが、直ってない。お試しゲームしてから、セール以外は、怖くて買えない。

### 1/5 — It’s awful

*2021-07-01, version 1.0.0*

I bought this game two years ago and Re downloaded it. The purchase I made was successful to I have the main game and bonus. However the screens I play on are obliterated by flashing boxes and objects which makes it nearly impossible to see what is required. It is driving me barmy

### 1/5 — Chimeras and forgotten

*2021-05-04, version 1.0.0*

There is something seriously wrong with this game.  It has all kinds of strange things floating around in it and makes it impossible to play!

### 3/5 — Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.0*

I enjoy the game, but it is starting to deteriorate. There are so many white shapes everywhere I cannot see some of the areas. It is very hard to be focused. I don’t know if you can fix it, but it is almost unplayable.

### 2/5 — Cursed and forgotten

*2021-01-20, version 1.0.0*

I don’t know what’s wrong with the graphics, but it’s not clear. It looks like your drafts are bleeding though the scenery. The  highlighted areas are big and blurred ,makes it difficult to see some areas. It also distracts me from following the game. It’s really very annoying.

### 1/5 — Pixelated now

*2020-12-31, version 1.0.0*

It can’t be played due to the iPad update messing up the graphics.
