### 5/5 — Toll

*2025-10-22, version 1.0.0*

Was soll das habe das Spiel 2017 gekauft und soll es jetzt nochmal kaufen abzocke 😡

### 5/5 — Worked perfectly

*2023-03-29, version 1.0.0*

Another game which worked perfectly on my iPad Pro.  Good graphics, sound effects and music.  Great value for the price.  Not too challenging but cleverly written again, just like other similar games.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2022-10-16, version 1.0.0*

I love it

### 5/5 — BEST ONE YET!!

*2022-03-03, version 1.0.0*

I have played all of the Dark romance games and the Curse of Bluebeard may be the very best one. The amount of game play you get is staggering, and as always the shifting viewpoints are so much fun. Please keep this series going!!

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed it!

*2022-01-16*

This was great! Being able to play the two main characters was fun.  Then it’s not just one point of view but two hero’s working this out.  Hope you make more like this!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2021-05-01, version 1.0.0*

Good puzzles. Pretty addictive. Lost track of time playing this game.   There was one puzzle I just didn’t understand for the life of me, even when I switched to easy mode... but I blame me, not the game.  Had to skip it and hated myself a little bit.   Quality of the game did not drop after the first few scenes (when the free trial period was up).  LOL at some of the cutscenes.

### 3/5 — Fun, but glitchy

*2020-12-22, version 1.0.0*

I want to enjoy this game, but accessing my inventory takes a LOT of tapping all over and going from one room to another.

### 5/5 — Top class game

*2020-12-21, version 1.0.0*

I love this game. It has everything you need, a great plot, excellent graphics, collectibles and brilliant hidden object scenes with a variety types, from normal to the ones where you find one object and use it to find the other. Superb game!

### 5/5 — Horsegirl56

*2020-11-23*

Awesome game I thoroughly enjoyed all the different types of games and puzzles instead of just the same kind all the way through the characters are interesting and it has been a wonderful experience I love hidden object games!!!

### 4/5 — More Offers

*2020-06-29, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoy these games and have bought a number of them. I really wish you consider adding more than 1 discounted game at a time for iPad. There are several games available for phone, PC, and MAC.
