### 1/5 — Not supported

*2024-03-05, version 1.0.1*

This used to be a great game, but unfortunately, it’s from Big Fish, and it’s no longer supported.

### 1/5 — It won’t run.

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

I was absolutely enjoying the introductory chapter that I got, but when I went to purchase and unlock, I am unable to do so.  It’s a pity, because i really was enjoying it so far.

### 4/5 — 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

*2022-10-11, version 1.0.1*

Good long game and bonus, great map, puzzles varied, a few too many HOPs but three in a row helped. Some sections needed a bit more explanation, but all in all worth £2.99. 😷🥰

### 2/5 — Too Many Misc Puzzles

*2022-04-29, version 1.0.1*

I buy hidden object games for the hidden object puzzles so when a HO game’s HO puzzles are out numbered by misc puzzles, I find that to be really annoying, so hence, the low score.

### 3/5 — Not bad, but…..

*2021-08-24, version 1.0.1*

First, let me say that I really love this series, and that these are my favorite type of game.  This one, however, left me feeling as though something was missing.  Maybe it was because when the game ended, I still had a few things in my inventory!  The story was original and engaging, but it just ended too fast!

### 5/5 — Dark romance

*2021-08-02, version 1.0.1*

Best game in a very long time.

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2021-08-01, version 1.0.1*

Good story, if a little fantastical. Mini games challenging. HO varied and fun. Collector objects really hard to find in some cases, especially in the darker screens. Enjoyed it.

### 3/5 — Format problem on iPad 12.9

*2021-07-31, version 1.0.1*

The right hand inventory arrow is beneath the task book. Love this series, but this is happening often. Hope you can address it soon since I can’t continue.

### 2/5 — Hint charges too slow

*2021-07-30, version 1.0.1*

The hint button charges so slowly it’s frustrating

### 5/5 — Exciting Game

*2021-07-29, version 1.0.1*

This game really makes you think, you need to use your power of observation to find items and solve puzzles.
Very addictive
