### 1/5 — Would like to complete this game

*2025-12-06, version 1.0.0*

I have just deleted and reinstalled this game because I could not get past a certain point in the game and nothing else I tried worked, only to find out that I have lost my saved game and I have to start at the beginning. I bought this game because I liked the story line only to get stuck and the only suggestion that was made was to reinstall it after I had tried everything else. I don’t want to play this from the beginning. What a waste of what looked like a great game. I’m extremely disappointed in this game.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2022-04-24, version 1.0.0*

I know it’s been years but y’all need to make more games! They are always AWESOME

### 3/5 — ❄️ So So ❄️ 😷

*2021-07-15, version 1.0.0*

Good game, good length, good story, good (if some tricky) puzzles, but I found the find the fragments in the HO sections a bit tedious after a while 😴 could have done with a bit of variation there. Map was helpful, find the snowflakes ok, but find pieces to complete the parables, was nigh on impossible, most of the time I only found them by accident!!!! So it had a few inconsistencies for me...🤔 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🤯

### 5/5 — Completely entertained

*2020-03-29, version 1.0.0*

Got lost in the game for hours

### 3/5 — Good game, but not for puzzle lovers

*2020-01-19, version 1.0.0*

I bought this one on sale. It is mainly a hidden object game.The mini-games are few and very basic. On the plus side, it is a longish game.

### 3/5 — Not good on iPhone

*2020-01-15*

Many of the mini games are just too hard to do on my iphone8 plus. It’s difficult to maneuver the pieces or else the directions are not easy to understand. Can’t zoom in on mini games either.  Weird story line.

### 5/5 — Freaking awesome game!

*2018-07-08, version 1.0.0*

Love it!

### 5/5 — Best

*2018-03-27, version 1.0.0*

You always make the best games! Keep it up and make more games like this pleeeaassssee

### 5/5 — The game is good to play when you're waiting for a better game !

*2018-01-09, version 1.0.0*

Good visuals, fun experience, but glad I didn't eaten by the unicorn and bear.

### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

*2017-12-28, version 1.0.0*

Not one issue with the game!! Became addicted very quickly lol.
