### 4/5 — This game is really fun!

*2026-09-05, version 26.5.2*

This game has lots of lore and things to solve it is fun and all but just know there is a lot of ads I mean a lot but this game is still fun

### 3/5 — So……

*2026-07-24, version 26.5.2*

Listen, I love this game developers but making the stuff having to pay for it and only giving us five minutes just for watching a stupid ad. It’s not really worth it. You only had to use apples before and also please take away the spider in the garden.

### 2/5 — Can’t go in the cat shop

*2026-06-15, version 26.5.2*

*2026-06-19, version 26.5.2*

I haven’t wrote a review of this game I was lik 6 years old: and I am gonna say this this franchise had potential u had potential to make a story there was one instance where Peter blood was green and we thought he was hiding something what happened to that it never happened: where the freak did Mary go I did all the missions but I couldn’t find her and plus in the apartment she lives in there is like a ghost hotel game what happened to that there is no character arc no emotion origin the truth of why the officer hunts us there is no lore and story u guys could of made every character here with potential special with a good story to tell but u guys make dark riddle 2 how the hell are we win mars with Peter and Mary how did we get here: you guys keep changing the plot I want a good story cause I see good potential in the franchise so hopefully u read this and this review gives u a little bit to change and make a better story thank u

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2026-03-18, version 26.5.0*

This game is a ripoff of the original Hello Neighbor and it honestly sucks. It has so much cutscenes, it’s a little bit cringe, and it has GTA 1 graphics.

### 5/5 — Great awesome game

*2026-07-28, version 26.5.2*

This game is really fun to play. But can you add some updates from the original game. And can you also add more newspapers around town. They are fun to read. And can you also change the jumpscares? Thank you

### 5/5 — I’m playing it right now

Super fun

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-08, version 26.5.2*

This game is amazing and there is so much to explore and the plot twists are crazy but this game has a little  too much ads

### 5/5 — MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!

*2026-06-30, version 26.5.2*

This game was my whole childhood I would play it every single day for years but my parents thought it was too scary for me so I redownloaded it and wow love it like this game is the best

### 5/5 — HELLO NEIGHBOUR HAS SOME COMPETITION!!!

*2026-06-28, version 26.5.2*

I have played this game a long time ago (don’t remember when) and I thought it was better than Hello Neighbour. The missions are fantastic, the gameplay is remarkable, and the story is way better than Hello Neighbour!!! This game will probably become famous soon because of the stealth game craze (schoolboy runaway for example). My only complaint is that I’m a little bit stuck on the first mission you do. How do you get into the basement? Anyways, I have tried all three spin-offs, as In the one where you play missions and the classic version, and this one is supreme compared to them. The graphics have changed a lot from the classic mode to here (in a good way, the old policeman gave me the creeps) and the gameplay is amazing!!! Wish you the best of luck!!!!!!!! 
PS: Remember me when you’re famous!!!

### 5/5 — Choppy world while moving (iPhone 11)

*2026-06-09, version 26.5.2*

I enjoy Dark Riddle, but I found a performance issue on iPhone 11.

The game menu is perfectly smooth, and when I stand still and rotate the camera, everything runs smoothly. NPC animations and character hand animations are also smooth.

However, when I start walking or running, the world/background becomes noticeably choppy even though the game appears to be running at 60 FPS. Walking and running have the same issue. The problem only happens when the player moves through the world.

Could you please investigate the frame pacing or movement rendering on iOS devices? Thank you for your work on the game.

### 5/5 — Continue

*2026-05-31, version 26.5.2*

### 5/5 — This game gave me a boner

*2026-05-26, version 26.5.1*

10/10
