Dinero perdido *2020-07-17, version 1.0.2* El juego gratuito iba bien, pero al pasar al premium se bloquea a mitad del juego y se apaga. Lo he reinstalado y vuelto a jugar y nada, sigue igual y no funciona. Dinero perdido 😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unglaublich spannend *2019-11-22, version 1.0.2* Das Spiel ist einfach von Anfang bis Ende spannend und macht einen Riesen Spaß ☺️ ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2019-11-04, version 1.0.2* The best thing about the parables series is how complex they are. I love these hidden object adventures, but I hate spending money on the boring ones where you are only solving two or three rooms at a time, then moving on. They are far too easy. The best thing about the parables games is that you have access to almost every room/scene and you’re having to constantly move between 20 or 30 rooms trying to work out where the object you found goes. It’s excellent! Looking forward to the next game! ### 5/5 — I thought the game was excellent *2019-03-11, version 1.0.2* I totally love the game all the way through it was an awesome game I played again any day had no problems with it freezing up or anything ### 5/5 — Супер! *2019-03-10, version 1.0.2* Игра просто бомба, завораживает. Особенно хороша, когда есть на неё распродажа 😁. ### 5/5 — Drak *2019-03-08, version 1.0.2* I love it ### 5/5 — Love! *2017-07-23* This is my favorite hidden item game ever! There are lots of things to find, lots of puzzles, beautiful scenes and I really love mermaids. Big Fish makes the coolest games but this one is by far the best. ### 4/5 — Sehr ausgefallene WBS *2022-08-25, version 1.0.2* schöne Geschichte, tolle Grafik, sehr fantasievolle Gegenstände, macht so viel Spaß dass ich es jetzt ein 2. Mal spiele. Leider stürzt es nun Anfang Kapitel 4 immer ab 😩 Es ist ja ein älteres Spiel, liegt es schon im Archiv der Entwickler und verkümmert? Bitte behebt den Fehler oder schenkt den Käufern diese Spiels ein ähnliches freies Spiel als Entschädigung…das wäre doch fair ### 4/5 — Please fix it, I wanna continue playing *2022-05-20, version 1.0.2* It’s a fun game but I paid for the full thing but every time I tried to enter it would crash. Please fix this!!!! ### 4/5 — Good *2020-03-08, version 1.0.2* But the sample is too short ### 4/5 — Slight problems *2020-02-10, version 1.0.2* Enjoyed the game but a lot of to and froing also even zoomed in it was difficult to find the hidden objects without a hint. I mostly hinted myself around this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
