### 1/5 — Buggy & broken

*2023-11-22*

Game is full of bugs, DO NOT PURCHASE! Items disappear from inventory & scenes are blacked out frequently. Stop charging for a game that’s messed up. Now it shuts down my iPad every time I try to open it!

**Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it!

### 3/5 — Had to constantly close and reopen…

*2023-10-23*

This game is beautiful and I REALLY LOVED playing it UNTIL it got so glitchy that I had to constantly close and relaunch it. The inventory items would be blank and then the screen would cut to active spots on a black screen. This is honestly one of the most delightful games I’ve played and it’s a shame my overall experience was ruined to to a very very glitchy gaming experience. I honestly wish i hadn’t paid for it.

### 1/5 — Where is Gryla’s key?

*2023-10-20*

I can’t finish the story because I didn’t get the key after the hidden objects in the tree. What now? If I start over, will it appear?

**Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it!

### 2/5 — Graphic bugs

*2022-12-24*

Cute story, but there are several instances of missing graphics, at one point entire scene such that I couldn’t continue playing.

**Developer response:** Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it!

### 1/5 — Buggy & broken

*2022-12-09, version 1.0.8*

**Developer response:** Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll look into it!

### 1/5 — Glitches galore

*2022-08-26*

The screen blacks out, with only a few items shown.  Sometimes the picture of the tool disappears.  Simply impossible to play.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for the feedback. If you don't mind, could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am and share some more details about the issue? We'll do our best to fix it!

здравствуйте, дорогие разрабочики, игра просто вау, но один минус это , то что она на английском, если можете , сделайте на русском, так что 4 звёзды пока что)

### 5/5 — Bonus help needed

*2021-11-28*

I played all the way through the game and was enjoying the bonus game until I came to the part to get the reindeer to get up.  I tried everything but I can’t get it to work.  Help please!
