### 1/5 — Skip scenes

*2025-05-10, version 1.0.2*

Skip scenes are dark. Too much money for the game not to work efficiently

### 3/5 — Can’t travel from the map

*2025-03-31, version 1.0.2*

The map only shows where you are, not where you should go.

### 3/5 — Videos won’t play

*2025-03-28, version 1.0.2*

Hi I know this is an old game but I have been trying to revisit some old games, any way you can fix the videos no playing?

### 2/5 — Баг проблемы

*2025-02-09, version 1.0.2*

Не работают катсцены - просто темный экран!!! 600₽ на ветер)

### 2/5 — No Graphics

*2025-01-17, version 1.0.2*

Tried to play this game. Seems like it could be a great games with the mystery and finding clues etc however every time it changes to a new scene you can hear that something exciting is happening with the sound effects but all you get is a black screen. Some video graphics would be a bit more interesting. Not sure if this how the game is meant to be or if this is a fault with the game.  Wouldn’t pay for it like this.

### 1/5 — ムービー真っ黒。課金しない。

*2025-01-08, version 1.0.2*

お試し版のムービーが真っ黒なので購入しません。難易度は2つしかないけど、ボリュームもありそうなのでプレイしたかったのですが諦めます。

### 1/5 — Проблема!

*2024-10-27, version 1.0.2*

Требует оплаты, хотя уже много лет как куплена!

### 2/5 — ?

*2024-10-21, version 1.0.2*

Den Titel kann ich jetzt nicht eingeben.
Das Spiel ist umständlich und dauert zu lange in der  Option zu antworten!
Ich suche immer Spiele die man sehr schnell, schnell oder eben für langsame Kunden entwickelt.
Das wäre dochmal eine Option.
Schnell mal ein Spiel einwerfen!

### 2/5 — ムービーが再生されない

*2024-10-17, version 1.0.2*

お試しでダウンロードして、続きが気になるから基本的にほとんど購入する者です。ただこのタイトルに関しては、ムービーが真っ暗で再生されず、英語音声だけ聞こえる状態(スキップボタンは表示されてる)なので、本編ゲームはできるけど、なんか楽しさ半減残念で購入は断念。原因はなんだろう？

### 2/5 — DarkStrokes

*2024-03-28, version 1.0.2*

Too many blackouts… waste of money… was reported two years ago. And nothing has been fixed as of today… either. Return my money OR give another free game…
