### 2/5 — Too short

*2020-02-20, version 1.0.0*

The free trial was too short to understand the game. It seemed like fun couldn’t get a feel for the game.

### 3/5 — Princess

*2019-04-07, version 1.0.0*

I hate that I have to go to the MENU to open the journal to use it.

### 2/5 — Tired of skipping!

*2019-01-25, version 1.0.0*

Way, way, way too much dialogue. More puzzles, please!

### 3/5 — Good concept, clunky mechanics.

*2019-01-18, version 1.0.0*

Nice idea. However you have to open the menu box to access the map. Somewhat clunky transfer from scene to scene. Biggest disappointment was the final scene opened on black screen. Tapped the clue button and was told there was nothing to do.

### 2/5 — Stuck

*2019-01-15, version 1.0.0*

The game was fairly interesting but it seems to be stuck - one site I try go to is now black - hint only says nothing to do there but map will not let me return to Frozen Tears where it show something to do

### 4/5 — Solid HOG

*2019-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyable overall. Some glitches and imprecisions. Collectibles unnecessarily difficult to see. Nice story--pretty, good music, decent voice acting.

### 3/5 — Zu kurz!

*2018-12-07, version 1.0.0*

Gratisteil zu kurz um eine vernünftige Bewertung abzugeben, daher werde ich es, auch für 3,49€, nicht kaufen.

### 2/5 — Lex

*2018-05-01, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed the game and story lines but very glitchy...couldn’t enter player name, lags, etc.

### 1/5 — .

*2018-04-26, version 1.0.0*

Can't even type your name in to get started

### 1/5 — Non starter

*2018-04-26, version 1.0.0*

As already reported. Won’t even let me enter my name. Closed down and re tried to no avail. Deleted without even playing.

### 1/5 — Dark realm bonus game froze

*2022-01-10, version 1.0.0*

Waste of time and money. The game itself was nonsensical and if you enjoy hitting hint then buy this game!!

### 1/5 — Awful game

*2020-02-12, version 1.0.0*

Clunky, didn’t work properly with the screen in the corner, hints pointing to incorrect objects and no voices despite the sound turned all the way up, I only had the sound effects & music. Feel ripped off at $10.99 & will be seeking a refund.

### 1/5 — Already purchased!

*2019-03-18, version 1.0.0*

I went to play this game again and it showed no purchase for this account. iTunes shows my purchase on Jan 15. What’s up with that? Either fix this or give me my money back!!

### 1/5 — Loved this game the first time...

*2019-01-17, version 1.0.0*

As with all Mad Head Games this was wonderful to play-- at least well over a year ago when it first was released! I thought this was a new release in the Dark Realm series but ultimately realized that I had been tricked into paying anew for an old game! Caution if you tend to buy these sale games that appear new-- they make a small update and then it erases your history of purchase! Sooo annoyed

### 1/5 — Review

*2019-01-15, version 1.0.0*

Terrible, can't enter my name so can't play the game, very disappointing 😣😣

### 1/5 — Unlock problems

*2019-01-14, version 1.0.0*

Want to play this game but worried I will have problems unlocking as I had on previous game I played. Getting frustrated as I enjoy the games when able.

### 1/5 — What game?

*2018-12-10, version 1.0.0*

Thought I would like this game, but will never know. After all the Big Fish ads, the game shuts down. Really disappointed

### 1/5 — Impossible to play

*2018-12-08, version 1.0.0*

Well, got to the overturned carriage and could go no further.  Impossible to get the last object to complete the HOP.  May I have credit for the next game please?

### 1/5 — Patn

*2018-04-27, version 1.0.0*

Too many glitches. Had to reload twice and couldn’t enter player name. Very short free play, and when I decided to unlock, it was apparent that whole game would be short, so didn’t bother. Would like to be able to view comments from other players before download. This one is an obvious waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Dont bother even downloading this piece of crap

*2018-04-27, version 1.0.0*

I couldnt even enter my name in......this game is crap...dont bother with this one guys

### 5/5 — Ice princess.

*2020-09-23, version 1.0.0*

Apart from the story which was superb it is the scenery that took my breath away enhanced even more by the music. These two things made playing this an absolute pleasure. Thank you

### 5/5 — Ice princess

*2020-07-08, version 1.0.0*

Excellent . Quite a challenge. So many different ways of playing hops. Really enjoyed it. Some areas took me quite a while to get through. You really have to use your imagination to figure things out. Which is terrific.

### 5/5 — Truly enjoyed this

*2019-08-31, version 1.0.0*

I have played four of the Dark Realm games so far. At first I was hesitant thinking they were difficult but pushing through I came to realize they are so much better than other HO games offered.  That’s not to say I haven’t come across other great games but they have become few and far between. Thank you Mad Head.

### 5/5 — Having fun

*2019-03-13, version 1.0.0*

I do not remember this as having been released before. Some of the games pull somewhat identical scenes from previous ones but these are brief. I am enjoying this game a lot and do not think it is a repeat.

### 5/5 — 買ったような

*2019-02-04, version 1.0.0*

以前買ったような？ですがセールになると購入履歴が出ない物もあるので再購入。まぁ記憶も薄れていましたので、、、
かなり丁寧に作ってる作品。キャラが好きなので楽しめました。
ストーリーも良いです。難易度もそこそこ高めかな？

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-01-16, version 1.0.0*

A lot of games lately have been stupid hops where you just have to keep tapping the screen and a mysterious thing forms for you. This game has the old fashioned hop plus lots of new ways of playing the hops. Never boring one of the best games I’ve played recently

### 5/5 — Alles bestens!

*2019-01-03, version 1.0.0*

Habe nichts zu beanstanden, im Gegenteil! Super Spiel in toller Länge mit allem, was man sich wünschen kann. Gute Grafik, prima Minigames u. WBS, interessante Geschichte. Bitte mehr davon!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2018-06-01, version 1.0.0*

A really well made adventure by Madhead Games. Beautiful artwork and imaginative puzzles and hidden object scenes. I loved the making of video in the extras too. It fascinates me to see the amazing artistry and imagination that goes into games like this.
