### 4/5 — Barcelona

*2026-02-11, version 1.4.4*

Love playing game .  Great graphics and games are fun ! I’m not fond of the cult devil like creatures, maybe use a different enemy , but great game anyway!

### 5/5 — 👍🥰👌

*2025-09-25, version 1.4.2*

Another fantastic game by you guys 😘

### 5/5 — Dark City series are best

*2025-08-10, version 1.4.1*

The stories, the artwork and philosophies are always great. These games are  always so worth the price. Barcelona is new, (Thank you developers), and has some bugs. (Not recognizing my touch for HOP in the dark on an iPad and rings puzzle.) May I ask one thing? Puzzles like the street market have more frustration than fun. You can’t see the whole screen, and obstacles jump out and make you start over-again and again - until the path is memorized. It’s a long one and isn’t really fair. Thanks for considering for future.

### 4/5 — Another great Dark City Game

*2025-08-08, version 1.4.1*

Another great instalment of the Dark City Franchise. Here’s hoping for more Dark city games and hopefully one in Greece or Egypt next. Only issue I had with this game is the constant pop up that asked if I want to see more games. Maybe add a option where you can click don’t ask again so players can have the option of not having the pop up appear every few minutes and take them out of the gameplay

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2025-07-30, version 1.4.1*

This replace my previous review. Thank you for fixing
The problem so quickly. As always your games are
beautiful and this is the first time that I experienced 
a problem not at all bad for all the games I played
and never had a problem. Thank you for giving
us such wonderful games. 🥰

### 2/5 — ___

*2025-07-30, version 1.4.1*

### 1/5 — Problem

*2025-07-26*

### 5/5 — Truly gorgeous

*2025-07-25, version 1.4.0*

This is the latest in a wonderful series of Dark City mysteries by FF. Don’t miss it. (this is my second attempt to post so I hope this one makes it). I can’t say enough good things about this Developer. It seems they really care about providing top notch entertainment at a fair price. Love you FF!!

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2025-07-25, version 1.4.0*

Enjoying it so far, but major glitch at Carlos’ residence.  The light switch does not work. Hint flashes in it nada. Pls fix

### 1/5 — Light switch

*2025-07-25, version 1.4.0*

I liked playing the game up to a certain point, but when I got to the switch, it doesn’t work so I feel like I wasted my money since I can’t continue playing
