It is a perfect mix of challenging puzzles with some good updates on “deductions.” It just all works — the music, the narrative, the graphics. The pacing of the game is terrific, allowing for luxurious play. Again BUY this game. It will give your brain a good workout with some beauty thrown in, as well as a very humane core, as with all Friendly Fox Games. You have the support of many of us in all your endeavors. Like you, this game is strong of heart! Thank you! Moxie Ruby (Away from games for a bit but Amsterdam is a good city to begin my travels!)

Thank you again for your insightful message and for being part of the Friendly Fox family. 💖 ### 5/5 — Amsterdam *2024-11-25* As usual this is a colorful, interesting game. No problems. Please keep them coming as you are my favorite. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We're thrilled to be your favorite and will keep bringing you more colorful adventures. Stay tuned for what’s next! 😊 ### 5/5 — Breathtaking *2024-11-24* What can I say about a flawless game . It keeps your interest the whole game. I can always count on you for the best. I would like to see more mad head games though. Happy Thanksgiving to all and stay safe. To Lynx, Thank you for all your hard work. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We're thrilled you enjoy our games and appreciate your feedback about Mad Head Games — we’ll keep it in mind for the future. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving as well, and thank you for being an amazing part of our community! 💗💗💗 ### 5/5 — Dark City: Amsterdam by LynxMinx *2024-11-24* If you think you’re going to be pedaling a bicycle along the dikes, leisurely eating Gouda and drinking a glass of beer, or picking magnificent tulips, think again! Instead, you must step into the shoes of Detective Agatha, to solve the mystery of the legendary Flying Dutchman ghost ship, in this marvelous adventure set at the turn of the twentieth century. Just when you think you know exactly what’s going to happen, the story takes unexpected twists and sinister turns. The ability to create a story so intricate is the absolute genius of our favorite developer, Friendly Fox. This wonderful gem interweaves the crime genre along with paranormal phenomena to create exciting and addictive gameplay. You must use deductive reasoning and clues to progress in your investigation. I was also pleased to that the protagonist in the bonus chapter who requested Agatha’s help was disabled, but portrayed in such a positive manner. Too often disabled persons are overlooked or ignored and treated as if they are contagious, evil, or unworthy! The graphics were excellent, as the developer has managed to capture the ambience of the Netherlands. The quality assurance was terrific (no hard tapping required!) and the tasks were enjoyable to complete. This game was lengthy, exciting, and thrilling. I didn’t even want to stop playing in order to go to sleep, and you won’t either. Gamers, this is a must-purchase adventure! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the adventure and appreciated the intricate storyline, the portrayal of characters, and the game’s atmosphere. Your feedback means a lot to us and motivates us to keep creating engaging experiences. We're glad you had such a thrilling time playing 🧡🧡🧡 ### 5/5 — Dark City Amsterdam *2024-11-23* If you love tulips or any kind of flowers you will love the ambience of this game. The scenery is gorgeous and the game play exciting. It is everything we love about this series. My only suggestion would be to include more find and use type of mazes. But that is a personal preference. This was a truly delightful game. This developer never disappoints! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the game and the scenery. We truly appreciate your suggestion about adding more find-and-use mazes, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates. Your support means a lot to us—thank you for being part of our community! 🥰 ### 5/5 — Aarrgh! Pillage and Plunder These Scallywags Do! *2024-11-23* Ahoy, Mateys! Get ready to embark on a chilling nautical adventure as you investigate what appears to be ghostly apparitions, in the form of dangerous seafaring pirates, who are manifesting throughout the village and terrorizing the townspeople. But are these swashbucklers really what they seem to be? True to this series, the graphics are ominously dark, cultivating levels of suspense and amplifying a fear of what’s lurking around the corner. I love me an absorbing mystery thriller in which I can put my observational and analytical skills to work. Throughout your investigation, you often refer to your notebook in which you assemble clues to draw conclusions; this is effectuated in an interactive manner, which draws me further into the storyline. The hidden-object scenes are creatively rendered, enhanced by embedded puzzles. They also convey some snippets of backstory, via newspaper articles, notes, posters, etc. The puzzles vary in type, and some are customizable to suit your difficulty preference; the conceptual designs of such adhere to the nautical theme. I appreciate the pull-out tabs on the side to keep the status of acquiring the collectibles within each scene. Transition is seamless; no glitches, as usual. I’m about halfway through the game but wanted to vouch for the worthiness of playing this little package of fun. I rate this game five stars. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback — we’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the adventure and all the elements we've worked hard to create! If you love immersive mysteries, we’d recommend checking out some of our other free-to-play games as well. There are plenty more thrilling stories and hidden-object puzzles waiting for you! Happy gaming 💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — Donzi *2024-11-23* Great graphics,storyline,music & so much fun to play. **Developer response:** Your words make our hearts beat faster!
