I assume this was an early effort. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Patn *2019-10-12, version 1.0.2* Very basic game. Not bad storyline and graphics were good, but all very predictable. Even at deal price I didn’t feel it was value for money. ### 4/5 — 👍🏼 *2019-10-12, version 1.0.2* Happy for a new game.... been awhile ### 3/5 — Dance Macabre Deadly Deceptions *2019-10-11* No map, on HOP some items are difficult to see and the area to click on them is small. So you have to touch an item multiple times. Difficulty in picking up items from inventory. A lot of going back and forth to multiple rooms. Now my inventory items are gone. Yes, frustrating! Such a shame, it has potential. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game *2019-10-07, version 1.0.2* Lots of hops. Really liked the storyline in this one. Only thing is that the game kept freezing or moving in slow motion to get to the next scene which was annoying. ### 4/5 — Pretty Good *2019-08-06* Since BF hasn’t come out with any new games and I’ve been playing these games for years (so I’ve played just about all of them) I came across this one and realized I never played this one. I’ve been replaying all the ones I’ve already played over the years so it was refreshing to play one I’ve never played and thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially liked the description hints in the hop’s instead of the usual silhouettes or names of the objects. Gonna look for more of this series games and hopefully I never played them. ### 1/5 — It's not 2017 EIPIX that's for sure *2017-12-30* I started playing this series this year. I was blown away at the intricacies of the puzzles and artwork and ingenuity. Apparently Eipix was either given a huge influx of cash or they hired new staff members because anything pre-2017, like this one, is boring, cookie-cutter, rehashed crap. Mixed review. So bad on this one, great on anything that came out in 2017. Thanks for for upping your game, pardon the ridiculous pun, Eipix, this year. ### 2/5 — Deception *2017-10-29, version 1.0.2* Keeps bringing back to the beginning when I quit and come back. ### 4/5 — Pretty good but short *2017-10-27* The game was well done, but very very very short. It took me only about 2 hours. That was fine for $2.99, but I can't imagine paying full price. There was a comment about the lack of a teleporting feature, but there WAS teleporting. Perhaps it was added in a later version? ### 3/5 — Un peu déçu *2017-10-27, version 1.0.2* Ce jeu n’est pas très captivant et les graphiques sont ordinaires. ### 3/5 — Good *2016-06-11* Had some problems, but good game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Broken *2019-10-16* I was playing just fine when my inventory disappeared. Hint send me to point A which sends me to point B which sends me back to to point A but I can do nothing without inventory. Sorry I paid for this game even on sale. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-10-15, version 1.0.2* Played the free start of the game, paid to get the full game , I am so angry 😡, big fish have took my cash , but when I try to play , it disappears of the screen , I have deleted it a few times , but still carnt get my full game , so big fish I would like a refund please, ### 1/5 — Had to reinstall and shutdown iPad twice due to game glitches *2019-10-15* Firstly right off the bat after cop handed me the gloves they disappeared so I couldn’t check out the body which means I could not move forward. Thinking okay my iPad is acting up I shut it down, log back on no gloves where are they? so I shut down my iPad again same issue stuck no gloves. So I delete, (which by the way I had already purchased) from my iPad game already in my purchase history so I hit install. Finally after taking the gloves they head to pink items area. Now what made me flip my lid I hit unlock to make sure Fish didn’t pull a fast one and charge me again, guess what they did, showed cost if you want to unlock I ain’t havin it I have proof of purchase not only at Apple also the receipt sent to my email which I archive cuz Fish had tried to pull a fast one on me in the past. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS. Fish, you will unlock the game or else! 10/14/2019 P.S Fish had to reinstall game due to the glitches so don’t come back sayin if you delete game you lose purchase rights,WRONG I payed for full game unlock it! ### 1/5 — Do not purchase this game - it doesn’t work *2019-10-12, version 1.0.2* Started off being a little sticky - would touch items on the screen 4 or 5 times before it would let you pick them up, I have persevered, however I’m now on chapter 4 and I can’t do anything. Checked the online guide, I can see what I need to pick up from each scene, but try as I might, I can’t. Game is not fit for purpose, first time I have paid for a game and not played it till the end. ### 1/5 — Big Fish Games = Big Fish Gangsters *2019-10-10, version 1.0.2* This is the second game I have bought from this company that doesn’t work. Every time I login it kicks me straight out. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but no more. There are bunch of robbing expletives. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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😂 ### 5/5 — Deception *2018-07-12, version 1.0.2* Nice long game, really enjoyed it ### 5/5 — Finally, another game I can enjoy ! *2016-07-09, version 1.0.2* I loved Danse Macabre and, along with Sweeney Todd and Stray Souls, have long searched for games I enjoy as much. Found one! I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. Great graphics, good story, love the HOS games. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Fun, enjoyable, satisfying *2016-07-03* Rarely do I write reviews, but I found this game to be very satisfying in all aspects! Beautiful graphics, subtle background music with none of the harsh sounds if the wrong object is clicked, transporting map with indications of pending tasks, clever, witty and charming HOP's, innovative out of the ordinary puzzles, good plot easy to follow, ability to go back after completion of bonus game and collect souvenirs or collectibles that were missed...One of the best I've played! ### 5/5 — Never written a review *2016-06-04* I have played over 40 hog before and never once wrote a review hands down this game is amazing... ### 5/5 — Cool *2016-04-16* Top ### 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. ### 4/5 — Nice *2019-10-16* This is an older offering from this series, but it is still good. There is teleporting, you go to the map under the menu tab and from there you can teleport between locations. Someone said it was short, I did not find it to be so, there are 41 scenes, pretty standard for Eipix. You can go back after finishing the game and get any collectibles and morphing objects you may have missed. The story is the usual catch the villain, but it wasn’t boring. The mini games were interesting and unique, but not difficult. An enjoyable game! ### 4/5 — My rare review *2019-10-12* The game is interesting if slow paced. T he slow pace is due, in part, to having to open the menu to access the map. I also prefer games with customizable speed settings, which this does not. It would be nice to see some new games rather than reissues of old games. This one is three years old, from 2016. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
