Then look for F2P versions - like this one- and after an area or 2 you have to pay?! What tha? Pretty sure F2P means free to play… 😭 ### 3/5 — Cant proceed because of glitch *2022-03-10, version 1.0.4* I am stuck towards the end of the game because the area needing to be traveled through is glitched out. I paid for the endless hints and skips and hate when this happens. I love this series and am just frustrated with this one ### 5/5 — Super *2021-09-03, version 1.0.3* Très bon jeu. Beaucoup d’énigmes. Passionnant. ### 3/5 — It would have been a great game, but for *2021-06-08, version 1.0.3* I play on an iPad. About every other scene the screen disappears meaning I have to wait until the game shuts down, or I reboot. Very frustrating. Other than that annoyance, it’s a good game. ### 2/5 — Still got bugs by the look of it *2021-04-27, version 1.0.3* I purchased this game having read bugs have been sorted out. Well they haven’t, twice within a few minutes of playing the game I had trouble. First time round was with playing for the whistle for the donkey. I got the whistle only to find the game shrunk right up to the top left hand corner. I had to come out and clear the game then had to play that part again to get the whistle, that time it played correctly. Now just played the mini game with the pumpkins and yes, low and behold got the item and ended up with the game shrunk to the top left corner. Having to shut down the game again and hopefully it will play correctly. Well it still isn’t playing properly and it looks like I will have to ask for my money back. ### 3/5 — Déçus *2021-01-29, version 1.0.2* L’histoire et bien réalisée , beaux graphismes, malheureusement trop de bugs.. j’ai dû fermer l’application plus d’une fois pour rétablir l’image , de plus l’histoire bonus m’as déçus . Dommage , parceque j’adore l’idée des dark romance ! ### 3/5 — Buggy *2021-01-17, version 1.0.2* Screen switches to only 1/4th of full screen view. Truly annoying ### 5/5 — Dark romance *2021-01-15, version 1.0.2* I have just paid £6.99 for this game and already there is a glitch . I played the music to the donkey and I can’t go any further please help it costs a lot of money to get stuck so early . Nana noodle Thanks for fixing the bug I am now able to continue the game . I’ve been enjoying the games I have bought so far. I thought you had fixed the bug but now I’m stuck on Heal Cador I can’t go any further. It seems to freeze intermittently it’s happened twice now hopefully no more I’m now playing the game and hope to finish it with out any further complications. Thank you for getting back to me. Had to reboot the game twice more but I have finally finished the game and have enjoyed it. Thanks 😊 ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2021-01-10, version 1.0.2* There was a terrible glitch that kept occurring whereby most of the screen except for a tiny square would go black. To get the full picture back, I kept having to close out the game and restarting it. It resulted in me missing a lot of the storyline. ### 4/5 — Great game, bad glitch... *2021-01-09, version 1.0.2* This game is fun and beautiful. I really loved the character design. However almost a dozen times the screen would suddenly become all black with a tiny bit of the image in the top left corner. Sadly, it usually happened during cutscenes. (Fortunately after I beat the game I could go back and see what I missed). I was only able to restore full screen by going back to the main menu and sometimes by tapping the map and going to a different location. ## Frequently asked questions about Dark Romance ### What is Dark Romance: Ethereal Gardens about?
