### 4/5 — Très Bien 🇫🇷

*2023-08-12, version 1.0.1*

I’m steadily working my way through this awesome dark city series… (not sure if it’s in the right order but it doesn’t matter 😬)…
The storyline is quite interesting & definitely original I like the shout out to nikola Tesla as a character (even though he’s not French 🤭)… the graphics are great it looks just like him 😃…

The puzzles & mini games are great as are the HOP scenes… some are more difficult than others but not impossible. 
I would like it if you could zoom in on the scenes (not just HOP), as it would be easier to find the morphing objects etc… 

Definitely another jewel in the dark city crown…

Keep up the great work 😊

### 3/5 — Longer play?

*2023-07-16*

Loved the game do wish it was a little longer. Thanks for creating well make games.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you loved the game. We appreciate your support and will keep your suggestion in mind for future game development 💗💗💗

### 3/5 — Ganz okay

*2023-07-11*

Das Spiel ist relativ gut animiert und die Storyline ist auch interessant. Es gibt auch keinen einzigen Werbespot im ganzen Spiel. Allerdings gebe ich hier nur drei Sterne ab, da erstens in allen Cutscenes die Bildqualität unfassbar schlecht und verpixelt ist und zweitens, dass man ab einer gewissen Stelle nicht ohne In-App-Käufe weiterkommt. Manche Rätsel sind nämlich total verbuggt, sodass man gezwungen ist sie zu überspringen, allerdings klappt das aber nicht kostenlos und somit muss man Geld ausgeben.

**Developer response:** Guten Tag. Es tut uns leid, dass das Spiel nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat. Bezüglich der Bezahlung: wir haben 2 Optionen von Spielen: "Premium"-Versionen des Spiels, wo Sie einmal bezahlen und alle Hinweise und Übersprünge werden absolut kostenlos sein; "free to play" - Gameplay ist kostenlos, aber wenn nötig können Sie zusätzliche Hinweise kaufen. Wir präsentieren Ihnen das gleiche Spiel im Premium-Format 😉

### 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 🙂

### 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.

### 1/5 — Dark City Paris

*2023-09-17*

I had a lot of issues with the wooden signs not staying in place when they were in their correct spots. Over and over and over again 
Need to fix that issue that’s why gave a negative review

**Developer response:** If you have any issues with the game, please contact us via our support email: support@friendlyfox.studio (please send the screenshot of the place where you have stuck). They will help you! 💕

### 1/5 — Flower Light Puzzle Broken

*2023-07-11*

The flower light puzzle in the first scene does allow the flowers’ positions to be flipped. The flower on the bottom only reflects light back to the source.

**Developer response:** If you have any problems with the game, please contact us via support e-mail: support@friendlyfox.studio (please send a screenshot of the place where you are stuck). You will definitely get help! 🧡🧡🧡

### 1/5 — I do not like having to pay for hints

*2023-06-23*

Please don’t make games that we need to pay for and then additionally need to pay for hints.

Thanks!

**Developer response:** Good afternoon. We have 2 variants of games: "premium" versions of the game, 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. This is F2P game, but we recommend you the same game in premium format. We give our users a choice which format they prefer 😉

### 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.

### 2/5 — Really fun but… don’t think I’ll buy any more

*2023-08-13*

The hints and clues are so obscure that it became frustrating. I’d rather buy the game than deal with those frustrating issues. Sorry but I won’t play again.

**Developer response:** Hello. We are sorry that this game format did not live up to your excuses. We have 2 variants of games: "premium" versions of the game, where you pay once and all hints and skips will be absolutely free; "free to play" - gameplay is free, but you can purchase additional hints if needed. We advise you the same game in Premium format 😉

### 3/5 — Great graphics

*2023-08-28*

Characters are a bit stiff but plot and graphics are great. My main annoyance is that you can’t enlarge scenes so it is a real strain on the eyes to find objects. I’d probably give 5 stars if it wasn’t for this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We will definitely take it into consideration to give users an enjoyable gameplay experience 💖💖💖
