### 5/5 — Tried out Munich now here

*2022-07-28*

I started with Dark City Munich and fell in love, I just started this one and it seems to be just as good. It has thematic music, great voice actors and just as much fun figuring out puzzles.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. It is very valuable to us 😉🧡

### 5/5 — Why bonus game isn’t free ?

*2022-07-24*

I like this game very much, if bonus game will be free, it must be my favorite.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! 😉💞

*2022-10-22*

Je me permets de vous envoyer un message concernant les jeux premiums impossible de les acheter c est indiqué achat échoué alors que je peux acheter tous les autres et cela m ennuie beaucoup merci de votre réponse marijo sionville

### 1/5 — Vienna

*2022-09-15*

It’s a scam they just want $$$$$$$

**Developer response:** Good afternoon. In the description of the game you could find the following information: Download and play the game for absolutely free, but if you feel stuck or don't want to solve a mini-game, you may buy hints to help you proceed quicker 🙂

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-08-01*

I played Paris and enjoyed it. So I got this one, but I couldn’t even get started it was stuck on a page trying to make me buy rubies for hints. I should have at least been able to decline. After several tries I deleted it.

**Developer response:** Good day. Dark City: Paris - is not a free to play (F2P) version of game. In that game you need to unlock full content at one point.

F2P versions are different - all content are unlocked from the start, but hints not a free.

Please, try this one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-3-vienna/id1549690138

We will release our games in both versions, because different players prefer different way to play. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Dark city: Vienna

*2022-07-19, version 1.0.2*

Only played the game for a little while very disappointed I stoped at the part where you have to put the birds in order got fed up there is no where to reset so you can start again

### 2/5 — Missing out

*2022-07-20*

Hi I am from Canada. I love your games but ALOT of your games on you app keep saying “not in your country “ are you planning on making them available here .

**Developer response:** Good afternoon. We apologize that you have encountered this problem. Our games for your country have always been available. Which games in particular are you referring to? We will definitely look into it and help you out. 😉

### 3/5 — Don’t want the pay for clues games

*2024-09-10*

How do I tell the difference between the “All Inclusive Unlimited Clues” games from the pay for clues games? I tried one of those once and it cost me over $40.

**Developer response:** Hello. We offer 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” (F2P) - gameplay is free, but if necessary you can purchase additional hints. Everyone chooses the option according to their preferences ❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — Best so far but...

*2022-10-08*

This was the best game I've played so far. It was interesting, challenging but not hair-pulling frustrating, thought-provoking yet do-able.  I thought: I may even pay for a game like this.  However, exactly half way through with the picture of 3 people where you had to put the pieces together, the final piece would NOT stick. No matter what nor how many times I tried, even opening and closing the game, it would not stay. I could go no further and had to delete the game. I would not pay for that. Too bad.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry that this has happened. Please contact us via our support email: support@friendlyfox.studio. They will help you! 💞

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2026-04-19*

To help us identify and fix the issue quickly, could you please tell us a bit more about what happened? For the fastest communication, feel free to drop us a quick note at support@friendlyfox.studio. 📬 Your help means a lot to us!

### 4/5 — PHaNToM-TaSTiC 😃

*2023-09-01, version 1.0.3*

So we’ve travelled to another dark city… & it’s totally worth it… the gameplay is as always fun & smooth… great puzzles mini games & HOPs… Graphics are great very well done…

I’m enjoying the originality of the storylines in these different cities… they’re very immersive & imaginative…

Another fun game… 😊 
Great addition to the series 😉

### 5/5 — Payant

*2025-09-14*

Jeu prenant fini en même pas une semaine, le seul bémol est que pour jouer au chapitre bonus il faut payer même en finissant le jeu

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour ! Le chapitre bonus est un contenu supplémentaire, tandis que l’histoire principale reste entièrement gratuite. Merci d’avoir joué ! 🎮💖

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-04-18, version 1.0.3*

I have enjoyed playing these games

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2023-04-06*

I have the best time playing these games! They really help me clear my mind after a stressful day. Thank you to FF for making them free! The only thing you would have to buy would be bonus games and extra jewels. They aren’t too hard and they aren’t too easy either. I love that there’s not an energy limit either if I want to play the whole game in a night I can. Please FF let me unlock this bonus level for free! I’m dying to figure out the meaning of the collection of letters!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We are very happy that you enjoy the games and that they help you relax and de-stress after a stressful day. We really strive to create quality games that are accessible to everyone, and we appreciate your support. Regarding your request to unlock the bonus level, we will definitely consider your comment and try to make the game even more fun. Thank you for being with us, and we hope you continue to enjoy the games! 🥰💞

### 5/5 — Jeu

*2022-09-15*

Très bon en plus gratuit je le recommande merci beaucoup pour le graphisme et les énigmes

**Developer response:** Merci pour la merveilleuse critique et la recommandation du jeu. Nous l'apprécions beaucoup 😊🧡

### 5/5 — So good

*2022-09-14*

Love this game!!

**Developer response:** こんにちは。素敵なレビューありがとうございます。お気に召していただけたようで幸いです。私たちのチームにとって、とてもありがたいことです。🥰💕

### 5/5 — Goood

*2022-09-04*

I enjoyed it so much from Japan☺︎

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We are happy to welcome you. We hope you enjoy our other games 😉💖

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-08-12, version 1.0.2*

Great game and third in the series I’ve played. Am I right in assuming that there have been a couple of popular album covers hidden in the mini games? I could swear U2 zooropa cover features in this game and I thought metallicas hardwired was in another game??

### 5/5 — Great game but . . .I have a suggestion for the developer.

*2022-08-08*

I was very close to the end of the game but didn’t realize it, and purchased some rubies (4.99) to help me with the last clue. The game ended and I still had over a hundred rubies left. I’m now playing Dark City Munich and it would have been really nice if those leftover rubies could have been transferred to the Munich game, since both games are from the same developer.  Instead they were just lost forever.  Just a suggestion!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We apologize, but unfortunately this is not technically possible right now. 🧡🧡🧡
