It’s so amazing and I loved it!! The graphics and story and fight scenes are all a good B++ to me. ### 5/5 — BRING IT BACKKK *2022-04-19, version 1.1.1* Ahead of its time, wish they would update my girl ### 5/5 — Late review *2022-04-01, version 1.1.1* This game randomly popped into my head recently. I went looking for it because I remember playing this in 7th grade. I thought it was so awesome because I only had my phone to play games on and I loved horror. Although it wasn’t the best gameplay, it really made me happy and it helped me through a lot. Unfortunately this game has not been updated. It’s not compatible with the newest version of the iPhone. I had always hoped the creator would make an updated version lol. I still have some hope I would be able to play it again and go through the nostalgia. ### 4/5 — Please update it! *2022-03-24, version 1.1.1* This is a SPECIAL mobile game. High quality, good story, and SEVERELY underrated. This game NEEDS an update to run on newer devices for a new generation. PLEASE support this game (a LOT of people would definitely pay for it😉). ### 3/5 — Pls update the game *2022-03-17, version 1.1.1* i miss this game so much ### 5/5 — Amazing game!! *2022-02-25, version 1.1.1* I remember playing this as a kid and I really loved it, so I broke out my old iPhone 4 to play it because of the lack of new iOS support, and it holds up really well! I wish the developers would update it though… ### 5/5 — Miss this Game *2022-02-20, version 1.1.1* Honestly one of my favorite phone games ever. I never write reviews for App Store games but this one has so much story and the right amount of creepiness to make it more than worth it. Please update so I can play again! Haven’t found another game like it ### 5/5 — Please bring back *2022-02-15, version 1.1.1* I loved this game when I could play it and I wish you guys could bring it back for new iOS ### 5/5 — Please bring this game back! *2022-02-08, version 1.1.1* I awoke, sweating, out of a fever dream thinking about this game. I used to play it constantly in high school. I can’t believe it’s been nine years. Please please please bring this game back. It was amazing. The graphics were fantastic for the time and it’s just so nostalgic. ### 5/5 — iOS *2022-02-02, version 1.1.1* Please release a version for the current IOS I remember playing this game in middle school years ago and it was so good!! ### 5/5 — LOVE this Gaaaame! *2022-01-21, version 1.1.1* Edit: PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE <3 I had my doubts first downloading this, seeing that it's a free game, but decided to trust the reviews and try it out (you can always delete it later!). I was pleasantly surprised! This game is so much fun and BEAUTIFUL :D Thank you SO much creators for making such a great game!!! The controls and gameplay are great and the storyline is so much fun, always unfolding with new twists and turns... Though it is a bit predictable, I am still enjoying it thoroughly. A.W.E.S.O.M.E. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Plz *2025-10-28, version 1.1.1* Update this for the newer OS!!!! ### 1/5 — Update *2021-04-18, version 1.1.1* Pls update ur game! We wanna play! ### 1/5 — Good but... *2019-11-27, version 1.1.1* I honestly really like this game but untill I got my new I pad I was unable to play this game anymore I really miss it and was wondering if you could just update it so I can play that is all I ask ### 1/5 — Made Me Feel Sickly *2015-11-23, version 1.1.1* Had to stop playing. For some reason this game made me feel nauseated & sickly in the eyes. Maybe too much swinging about with the camera around those ragged rooms. DELETED :) ### 1/5 — Okay *2014-03-09, version 1.1.1* I loved watching my friend play this so I decided to et it as well, except that when I did I saw that it crashed every time the old man went away at the very beginning. Please fix this! I'm on IPod 5g by the way! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-12-17, version 1.1.1* I'm sure this is a great game, but it keeps crashing right after the intro cutscene, as soon as I can actually play the game. It kicks me out! There is a save file, but it just goes to the beginning of the cutscene before crashing again. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Always crashes *2013-11-02, version 1.1.1* I can see from all the other reviews that this is great, but I just start playing and it crashes, please fix ### 1/5 — Terrible *2013-11-01, version 1.1.1* I have an iPod 5 with the newest update, I can't even leave the first room! After the dude finishes talking the app closes every time it's very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Crash *2013-09-22, version 1.1.1* Playing on ipod touch 5th gen which should have more than enough power to play this game yet it crashes everytime in the start room Very irritated since this worked on my iphone 3GS ### 1/5 — Great Concept but... *2013-09-12, version 1.1.1* Amazing game, if only I could play it though. Game continually crashes after Bed scene, then resets to beginning, not saving any gold. iPod 5th gen if that helps. Also if you could optimize it for the iPod 5 cause there's black bars beside the screen as if it was on an iPod 4. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 12/10 *2026-05-13, version 1.1.1* I remember playing this game back in the day, on a whim I went looking to see if it was still able to be played somehow, no luck, I would love to see any sort of update, port, rerelease, or even a remaster or spiritual successor of some kind. I enjoyed everything about this game, the gameplay, the aesthetic, the storytelling (although I never beat the game). I would pay money for this game. ### 5/5 — New version *2026-05-09, version 1.1.1* I want to play this game back again but is not supported please update it ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-03-18, version 1.1.1* Hope this game gets an update to work on later iOS versions. ### 5/5 — Goodbye Dark Meadow *2026-03-05, version 1.1.1* Fun game too bad I didn’t get a chance to finish it off and the developer never updated it so now I gotta YT it but still it was sa fun game maybe someday itll get updated. ### 5/5 — I miss you so much. I wish I could still play *2025-10-28, version 1.1.1* Best mobile game I ever played. Think about it all the time. ### 5/5 — Amazing game!! *2025-08-11, version 1.1.1* I remember playing this as a kid and I really loved it, so I broke out my old iPhone 4 to play it because of the lack of new iOS support, and it holds up really well!
