### 1/5 — Not f2p

*2026-02-14*

Dev - please stop advertising your games as f2p - each one has some puzzle that is unsolvable. The only way around it is to pay money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! 🧡 All the mini-games in our game are fully playable, as confirmed by many other players. Sometimes the challenge comes from the game mechanics, so we recommend taking another look at the mini-game instructions or using the hints. 🙂

### 3/5 — Not the whole game

*2025-04-12*

I downloaded this version that says it’s the whole game unlocked, but it’s not. It’s one small portion then it prompts me to pay to unlock the actual game. :/ 
The game is fun and unique and I would give it more stars if I could actually finish playing it.

**Developer response:** We offer 2 variants of games: premium - you pay once, and all hints and skips will be available in unlimited quantity; F2P gameplay is free, but if necessary you can buy additional hints. Everyone chooses the option for themselves.  This game is exactly F2P format and gameplay is fully accessible  😉

### 4/5 — Hard puzzles

*2024-09-26*

Like the game, but can’t do puzzle in doctors office - might have to give up 😕

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We realize that some puzzles may be more difficult, but we keep the difficulty balance and assure you that all games are playable, as evidenced by the feedback from other players. If you are having difficulties, try to refer to the hints that can help you figure out the puzzle 💗💗💗

### 3/5 — Naja..

*2024-09-20*

Spieltechnisch schön gestaltet aber echt jetz Tipps gegen Dias die man gegen echtgeld kaufen muss? Und für das bonusspiel auch noch extra bezahlen.. 

Das war definitiv das erste und letzte Spiel dieser Reihe..

**Developer response:** Hallo. Wir bieten 2 Varianten von Spielen an: „Premium“-Versionen des Spiels, bei denen Sie einmal zahlen und alle Hinweise, Überspringungen und Bonuskapitel absolut kostenlos sind; „free to play“ - das Spiel ist kostenlos, aber bei Bedarf können Sie zusätzliche Hinweise kaufen. Wir bieten diese Formate an, weil die Entwicklung sehr teuer ist. Jeder wählt die Option, die seinen Vorlieben entspricht 💓💓💓

### 5/5 — Various games

*2024-07-13*

Love the games but sad you partnered with Fox. So now the games are not free to play. I liked the dark city series till then. My favorite character is the original detective. 

Thank you for creating well developed games.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your support and understand your feelings. Partnering with Fox opens up new opportunities for game development, and we hope you enjoy the updates. Thank you for staying with us! 🧡🧡🧡

### 4/5 — Can’t solve the tile puzzle in the doctor’s office

*2024-06-03*

I’ve made it so close to the end and now I’m stumped and can’t finish the game :( Can’t complete the evolution tile puzzle in the doctor’s office and no online help is available to solve it either. Hate to give up but I might not have a choice.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that you're having difficulty with the doctor's office puzzle tiles. We strive to create challenging but enjoyable games.

We encourage you to try using the in-game hints or help features designed to help players through such moments. 
Don't give up! Your perseverance is part of what makes the game rewarding, and we are confident that you will overcome this challenge soon 💗💗💗

### 3/5 — Impossible at the end

*2023-10-07*

It was fun until you get to evolution mini puzzle at the end. I’m usually good at solving but this one is really difficult and frustrating. In order to skip, you have no choice but to pay for rubies which makes this version NOT f2p. End up deleting this game without finishing - - such a shame!

**Developer response:** Hello. You can always use the prompts. We also have this game in another "Premium" version. Where you pay once, and all hints and skips will be absolutely free 🥰

### 5/5 — 日本語版出てほしいな

*2023-09-16*

英語がわからないので、なんとなくしか物語はわかりませんでしたが、それでも楽しかったです。
別の会社のにたようなやつだと、マップが広すぎるのでどこに何があったか忘れて、記憶力ゲームになってしまうのが、こちらはもう行かないところは表示されないのでとてもやりやすいです。

**Developer response:** ご意見ありがとう。より便利にご利用いただけるよう、言語プラットフォームの拡大を計画しております。皆様からのご意見・ご感想をお待ちしております。😉💕

### 4/5 — Fine. But HATE the gem system

*2023-09-16*

The game is okay, I like the story and the graphics. Puzzles aren’t too tough, so it’s a good relaxing game before bed. BUT I hate that to play the bonus game you have to buy gems or buy the bonus game. I’ve played hundreds of this type of app over the years and never ever have I seen a game where you have to buy the bonus chapter. Just make it part of the initial price. Bummer that I did the whole main game but don’t get to do any of the bonus extras I love because I’m not going to pay $1.99 just for the bonus chapter. Edit after developer response: I want to make sure you know I totally think the game is worth the money! It was just disappointing to finish the main game just to find out the bonus game is a charge. I guess it technically makes sense to pay for bonus features, but it’s not the norm so was an unwelcome surprise. Not a fan of paying for hints either. I never used them, but the amount of gems you have by the end of the game aren’t enough to buy the bonus. I like the game, love the graphics and story, I think they’re better than the other big “hidden object” type developers. Only thing I think could use some adjusting is the gem system. It’s my only turn off to the games. But I’ll keep playing them!!

**Developer response:** Hello. We have this game in another "Premium" variant. Where you pay once and all hints and skips will be absolutely free, also a bonus chapter is included 🧡🧡🧡
