No Stars ### 2/5 — Very short bonus chapter *2022-09-12, version 1.0.1* Too easy. Don’t buy the bonus chapter it takes about 5 mins to complete. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2022-10-29, version 1.0.1* Game is good but you need too many rubies which are expensive ### 3/5 — Ok game *2022-10-24, version 1.0.1* Graphics aren’t great, the instructions on what you are required to do to play the puzzles was very vague and the Irish accents are hilarious but it kept me amused for few hours. ### 3/5 — Not free *2022-08-31* Played until bonus ,than it wanted me to pay to finish.So it’s not f2p **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. The main game is completely free 😉 ### 4/5 — Glitches *2026-04-19* Fun game, but I was stuck multiple times because the objects would not interact with the environment unless I pressed a very small specific part of the screen **Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear this! It is truly important to us that your experience with our games is seamless and enjoyable. In case of any technical difficulties like this, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@friendlyfox.studio. We’ll do our absolute best to look into this and improve the interaction for you. Thank you for your patience and for helping us make the game better! 💙🎮 ### 4/5 — Good game but have to pay for bonus chapter *2022-10-10, version 1.0.1* The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 was because of having to pay for bonus chapter. Other than that, great game and graphics, very entertaining and just the right level of thought for the mini games. ### 4/5 — F2P, meh *2022-09-21* I love all your games except f2p. Im waiting as patiently as i can for a few full price games from you guys to come out because your games are so worth it. Hopefully something will be coming soon, ive been waiting a while lol. I cant give the f2p 5 stars because i hate them so ill give it 4 because your team is awesome **Developer response:** Good afternoon. Very soon we will please you with new games. We hope you enjoy it! 💓💓💓 ### 4/5 — Glitch *2022-08-27* Glitch where I can’t put the rope on the gun for grappling. **Developer response:** We are so sorry about that! Could you please send to our support team (support@friendlyfox.studio) such information as: model of your device, software details. And we will try to do our best to help you! 💖 ### 5/5 — A classic hidden object adventure *2024-06-08* My only complaint is that you can’t zoom in on most of the scenes, which makes playing on a smartphone hard on the eyes! Better suited for a tablet. Otherwise, it’s a great hidden object adventure game with beautiful artwork and fun puzzles. I love that it’s free to play, with options to buy hints or watch ads to earn them. Thanks to the developers for creating this game for us :) **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the game and appreciated the artwork and puzzles. We understand that the inability to zoom in can make playing on a smartphone challenging. Your suggestion is very valuable, and we will consider it for future updates to improve the gaming experience on smaller screens. We appreciate your support and thank you for playing our game. Enjoy your adventures, and stay tuned for more exciting updates! 🥰 ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 言語変更の問題は解決しました *2023-11-13* ありがとうございます **Developer response:** 大変申し訳ございません！サポートチーム（support@friendlyfox.studio）に、ゲーム名を含む問題の詳細をメールでお知らせください。その後、最善を尽くして対応させていただきます。🙂💞 ### 5/5 — Free to play vs Pay to play *2022-09-21* Rather than paying to play with unlimited skips & hints, you can play this version for free and pay for hints & skips with gems, which cost money. There is a version that you can buy for around $6-7 that has unlimited skips & hints, so if you use hints & skips it would be a better investment to get the pay to play version. As for the game itself, I love the storyline & high quality look & design, just like all of this developer’s hidden object adventure games. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We try to find an approach to each user, so we have 2 variants of games: "pay to play" games, where you pay once and all hints and skips will be absolutely free; "free to play" - gameplay is free, but if necessary you can buy additional hints. Each user chooses the option he prefers. We recommend you the same game in P2P version 😉 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-dublin/id1579537379 ### 5/5 — OUTSTANDING loved playing this game *2022-09-16* Excellent graphics and gameplay, love the puzzle games really had my melon working hard. Favourite game to date :) **Developer response:** Million thanks from our team for such awesome review! 💓💓💓 ### 5/5 — Fun and Doable *2022-09-15* Fun game of a genre I hadn’t played for awhile. Other than the last puzzle which I finally solved, all were very doable so I didn’t pay one cent. (Sorry developers). I have found in the past that the bonus content isn’t that big of a deal, so I’m not concerned bypassing it. Thanks for a non-violent, visually pleasant fun game! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot! You are a very attentive player! 😉💕 ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-09-08, version 1.0.1* Thoroughly enjoyed this game good story and excellent graphics ### 5/5 — Schönes Wimmelbildspiel *2022-09-06* Wir schlüpfen in die Rolle eines Detektivs und müssen Waisenkinder vor dem gierigen Bürgermeister retten. Mit schönen Rätseln und Wimmelbildspielen, gut gemachtes Spiel **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Rezension und Wertschätzung des Spiels! 🥰 ### 5/5 — It is great. I love it so much for free *2022-08-28* Thanks for free, very interested game, so cute **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! 🥰 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
