### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2025-12-28, version 1.2.2*

After playing dark city in London I had high expectations. This one is has fun has the other F2P ones I tried. I had multiple time bugs which when I dragged the correct item to its place, the game wouldn’t register it. Which prevented me from completing the game. I didn’t had any issues with the previous games. But if it’s a recurring bug in the games, I might not try a other friendly fox seek and find title and go search a other company that makes these game. 

Or even then I would rather pay for a better quality one instead.

### 5/5 — Good game again

*2025-02-03, version 1.2.0*

It has some hard puzzles but solved them without any help. 
Nikola Tesla worked in France 👍

### 1/5 — My First Impression

*2024-09-01*

The French Minister has a very American accent!?!

**Developer response:** We realize that the French minister's accent may seem out of place to some. However, the choice of voice was aimed at making the character universal and understandable to a wide audience. Besides, we already have a base of actors we work with.  It's a shame that this particular detail can cause so much discussion! We sincerely appreciate your willingness to immerse yourself in the game and will take this feedback into consideration for future projects 🙂

### 5/5 — 楽しい

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-10-09, version 1.0.2*

Avoid this game like the plague. Nothing works, no clues, can’t go backwards or forwards in scenes. The map is useless.  It had potential but the developers were lazy. The puzzles are idiotic, no rhyme or reason to them. To solve puzzles ; it’s not about being smart to figure them out, they just don’t make sense. Too bad.

### 4/5 — Please please PLEASE!!

*2023-09-29*

I absolutely love your games!! Please can you make an F2P version of the new Dark City:Intrigue??? Please??

**Developer response:** Thank you for your trust! We've already started on it. In the future the game will be available in F2P format. Keep an eye on our updates! 💗💗💗

### 1/5 — Dark City Paris

*2023-09-17*

Need to fix that issue that’s why gave a negative review
