### 1/5 — Too buggy!!

*2026-03-02, version 1.0.3*

I can’t even get past the opening scene to examine the first body, the entire screen is just black!

### 1/5 — Problem

*2025-07-14, version 1.0.3*

the game doesn't open or just stays on the Home Screen, some scenes are not seen

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel!

*2025-06-28, version 1.0.3*

Die alten Spiele waren noch am besten!Nicht so teuer,spannender und das Bonuskapitel war drin enthalten.Jetzt muss man es extra bezahlen -alles Geldmacherei.Schade

### 4/5 — glitch it is disappointing

*2025-02-21, version 1.0.3*

at the very beginning the first body you investigate half the screen is black you cannot do anything i had to hint and guess what to select by chance or I couldn’t go ahead most the selection where chosen for me as if the hint button was on auto for most of that chapter very disappointed really ruined it for me… could I get a refund or a replacement game different not this story? Im a huge supporter never had this with the other 20 plus games I’ve bought

### 2/5 — Won’t Load

*2025-01-06*

Hey guys - After enjoying the 1st bit of the game I paid to unlock the Full Version. After playing for a while then exiting the game - started it again today & it won’t open! It’s not an iPad fault so has to be the game itself. Can this glitch be fixed please.

### 2/5 — Stuck

*2022-09-08, version 1.0.2*

Stuck trying to break the wall with the pick axe, tried restarting game and tried deleting game and downloading again but still stuck

### 1/5 — Purchase

*2022-07-02, version 1.0.2*

It is a good game and I did the 6.99 purchase but I finished the game and not even sure what the 6.99 payed for. I know it my problem because I didn’t read all of what it said but I would like to know what I actually paid for.

### 3/5 — Fun game, BUT

*2022-04-18, version 1.0.1*

This is a fun game, can’t go any further because the bread making section does not work, it does nothing after pouring the milk into the measuring container, the measured milk in the container will not pour into the bread pan to start the bread making, disappointing, it just keeps going back to it’s location without pouring into the pan…

### 5/5 — Sehr schönes Spiel!

*2022-04-15, version 1.0.1*

Wieder ein Spiel, das rundum begeistert. Guter Plot, schöne Spieldauer, sehr schön gestaltete Schauplätze. Es gab eine Menge zu sammeln, bei den WBS konnte man zu 3-gewinnt wechseln und bei den Minigames hatte man die Wahl zwischen leicht und schwer. Schneller Tipp und guter Szenenwechsel. Es blieb kein Wunsch offen!

### 4/5 — Очень обидно(

*2022-02-11, version 1.0.1*

Хорошая, красивая игра, но платная…. Жаль что сразу не оговаривают этот момент и приходиться терять своё время (
