### 5/5 — Excellent little puzzle adventure

*2025-06-09*

I’ve played most of the Fire Maple games and I think this one is my fave to date. It had a bit more logic to the flow of gameplay and I wasn’t left waiting for the next hint to make progress. Gorgeous graphics as always! Well done, devs!

### 1/5 — Bug！Waste of money

*2025-03-28, version 1.0.8*

I solved the puzzle on the study door using the info from the sewing machine. However, the game did not progress or advance. Since I cannot continue the game due to this bug, I would like to request a refund.

### 5/5 — Bello, ma non come gli altri

*2025-03-23, version 1.0.8*

È da anni ormai che acquisto tutti i giochi di Fire Maple: sempre belli, originali e coinvolgenti. Anche questo è intrigante, ma rispetto agli altri l’ho trovato un po’ più corto e leggermente più facile da completare. Nel complesso, però, resta una saga davvero bella!

### 5/5 — Ich liebe die Rätselspiele von Fire Maple Games

*2024-09-23*

Curse of the Cobra steht in einer Reihe mit seinen (losgelösten) Vorgängern. Ein tolles, sehr unterhaltsames Spiel. Es ist ziemlich kurz, aber dafür mit viel Liebe zum Detail.

### 4/5 — leider zu linear !

*2024-08-14*

Auch wenn die Lösung richtig ist, muss man erst alles abgearbeitet haben bevor es weiter geht. Noch schlimmer wenn man eine Aufgabe unterbrochen hat, dann kommt manweder weiter noch zurück, da ja keine Spielstände gespeichert werden. Ich habe im Museum vorfristig die zweite Lapuslazulikettentür geöffnet, dadurch hat sich die erste geschlossen obwohl die Aufgabe nicht erledigt war. Zurück komme ich nicht mehr, das heisst, ich muss das komplette Spiel von vorn beginnen. Das verdirbt einen den Spaß, schade.

### 5/5 — Another hit

*2024-05-15*

Honestly love these games! The story is engaging and the visuals are awesome! The puzzle really makes you think and would highly recommend every game in this series!! I find myself coming back and replaying the each and every game and each time is just as entertaining as the last!
