I’ll definitely be checking because $9.99 is a lot of money for me. ### 2/5 — Fix or refund *2021-02-14, version 2.1.0* I paid to finish but now the app crashes all the time. ### 4/5 — Good but short *2020-06-08, version 2.0.0* Game was too short for the money. No bonus ### 4/5 — Great graphics, puzzles sometimes don’t make sense *2019-05-10, version 2.0.0* Enjoyable game, storyline doesn’t hang together and some of the puzzles are clunky and don’t make sense. But good fun. ### 2/5 — Crime secrets *2018-12-29, version 1.0.5* There perhaps are bugs in this program. I am reinstalling to see if I can get the card suit code paper removed. It froze at that point. ### 2/5 — Unable to Finish! *2018-10-26, version 1.0.5* I was really enjoying the game until I reached the Vault and couldn’t get the batteries in the lamp. Now I can’t progress through and hence the low rating. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Chinaの香り *2018-09-11, version 1.0.5* 前半のストーリーはソコソコ面白いが、グラフィックが中国で作られた感じで興醒め。粗雑感満載で、見てると苦痛になってくる。終盤になると、やっつけ仕事な雰囲気でストーリーが展開し、ミニゲームアイテムの反応が悪くなる。 ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2018-08-13, version 1.0.5* I’m sad bc I LOVE Artifex games but this one glitched on me twice. First time I started the game over, but it glitched on me again. It didn’t give me the HOP I needed and hint doesn’t work. Game won’t proceed. ### 3/5 — Ok game *2018-07-08, version 1.0.5* This game was ok but kind of buggy and touchy ### 4/5 — Crime secrets. Crimson lily *2017-12-30, version 1.0.5* Nicely done ### 3/5 — Great Game but TSTL Heroine.. *2017-10-01, version 1.0.5* Oh I loved Almost everything about this game... The graphics.. the storyline... but the puzzles were a bit to easy even for casual play and the Heroine? Omg.. now I know it's a game but for a detective she was a bit TSTL.. would have been better if she was just someone caught up in it trying to live or something.. still it's pretty good.. ### 5/5 — Crime secrets *2017-09-28, version 1.0.5* Loved this game, wish there was a bonus game too ### 5/5 — 굿 *2017-09-10, version 1.0.5* 굿 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ？ *2023-09-08, version 2.1.0* 開いても落ちる ### 1/5 — Бесплатная глава минут на 10 *2023-03-04, version 2.1.0* Чтобы играть нужно заплатить 650₽, без возможности просмотра рекламы итд ### 1/5 — スコップに *2022-12-12, version 2.1.0* スコップにタオル巻き付けできない そこから進展なし 課金したのにコレ⁉️ 一向に治らない💦 ### 1/5 — What’s with the subscriptions? *2019-10-13* Great game, really enjoy the amount of work that has gone into making it. But. What is with the monthly subscription? I’d happily pay a one off cost to buy the game, but I’m not subscribing and paying $11.99 a month for games I don't want. ### 1/5 — Peccato *2019-08-07, version 2.0.0* I giochi Sono belli ma sono tutti a pagamento ti fanno giocare per Un po’ e poi ti devi abbonare o comprare il gioco per otto euro sinceramente è troppo caro ### 1/5 — Did like *2018-06-21, version 1.0.5* This game not good sorry ending wish I didn't buy ### 1/5 — Bel gioco ma ... *2017-08-01, version 1.0.5* Bel gioco ma dopo aver pagato la versione , a gioco completato non ci sono altre missioni !!

Beautiful graphics, lovely hidden object puzzles and many different puzzles to keep you interested. Throughly enjoyed it! My only gripe was the length, it seemed quite short but I just may have been enjoying it too much. Expensive but worth the price! X update: 2 years later still one of the best games I’ve played on iOS! Get ittttt xoxox ### 5/5 — 흥미진진 *2017-12-11, version 1.0.5* 하네요 재미있어요 ### 5/5 — 😘🌟 *2017-11-17, version 1.0.5* Just started playing your games and I love them.
