### 5/5 — Danse Macabre : Deadly Deception

*2023-11-16*

Great game J.F ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Fun game but..poor dead guy

*2023-07-27*

Great game! I play these games all of the time. I guess I am a bit sensitive… but a young man had just been shot dead …and, here,  the game is wanting me to worry about wings on an angel on a jewelry box. The young man was holding the jewelry box and I am rummaging through his stuff looking for wings while his body is decaying in the room. I know it is just a game and I didn’t take it THAT seriously. I still thought that the poor little guy needed a little more dignity. Even the bad guy was saved in the end. But not this innocent young one. So sad LOL😂

### 3/5 — Not up to Epicix usual standards

*2021-11-01*

This is very short, puzzles are not great, and the story is just ok. I assume this was an early effort.

### 4/5 — Game crashed? Stuck

*2020-10-11, version 1.0.2*

This game has stopped working and keeps taking me back and forth between Danny’s room and the ruined apartment. The bit across the bottom has also gone loosing the objects eg hammer.

### 1/5 — Bloqué

*2020-07-08*

Super jusqu’à ce que j’achète le jeu et ensuite bloqué je peux plus rien faire même en regardant les solutions cela ne fonctionne pas. Déçu surtout que le prix n’est pas donné

### 1/5 — Dance Macabre

*2019-10-25, version 1.0.2*

Twice have I downloaded this and twice it has failed - I shall be asking for a refund.  Very disappointing indeed.  I am finding it impossible to get a refund as well - be warned!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy, crash, glitchy

*2019-10-23, version 1.0.2*

A total waste of money. The game is so glitchy. It crashed on me several times, causing me to loose inventory necessary to carry on.
I never finished the game because it simply would get to the backyard garden in the last chapter, mixed the anti-fly spray. Then it crashes and I loose the spray!
I am not one to write a negative review, this game deserves it.

### 2/5 — Fairly good

*2019-10-20*

I liked the game but got frustrated with not being able to pickup the inventory items sometimes.  Also, I was unable to finish the bonus game because the broom was no longer in my inventory and I needed it in order to save the guy from falling.  Very disappointed about that.

### 1/5 — Danse Macabre - DEADLY DECEPTION

*2019-10-18*

After fixes still problem with freezing screens and disappearing or missing inventory. I was on chapter 5 (last chapter before bonus game). All of my inventory disappeared. The game ran a loop and I was stuck in the backyard and could not advance. IPAD PRO 2019 IOS is updated along with the last east version of the game. 
No problem playing free trail. Trouble happen when I paid for the unlock now version..BUYER BEWARE OF DISCOUNTS !

### 1/5 — Inventory disappeared

*2019-10-17*

Just started the game and the inventory has disappeared, no way to get it back.  Glad I didn’t buy it,  very disappointed.
