I’ve tried deleting and reloading twice. ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2019-01-17, version 1.0.0* I wish this game was longer, all of a sudden I was done. I was so excited to Play this game took me about an hour and a half. Definitely not worth $9.99. Very disappointed ### 2/5 — Déçue *2018-07-20* Histoire incompréhensible et non palpitante. Jeu cher pour une jouabilité limitée. Pourtant j’aime bien cette série. Dommage... ### 2/5 — Not up to Par *2017-12-23, version 1.0.0* Game just not what expected for Edgar Allan Poe themed game. Had some "gore". Otherwise, nothing noteworthy. ### 2/5 — Tell tale heart *2017-06-02, version 1.0.0* Played this twice before, just been charged £6.99 for it again, not happy ### 5/5 — 🇨🇦 I loved it! *2016-09-28, version 1.0.0* Tell Tale Heart It's too bad there are so many negative posts about the game but, I LOVED IT. I thought the story was easy to follow, and the graphics were great. The main game was shorter than I would like, but acceptable. The bonus game was longer than I expected so, all in all, I really enjoyed it. Mind you, I play games if "I" find them interesting, I don't look for things like game "flow," or what some ppl look for. We've had how many Edgar Allen Poe games? You can't expect them all to be the same caliber as the first. I just play and enjoy the games for what they are. My only complaints were that the voice was different and the map didn't take you anywhere, which was alright because there weren't many places this time, and it did tell you where you should go. There was a comment on here that I'd like to respond to. She said the game was too short and a waste of money. She also said there was no bonus game. Yes, there is a bonus game, and it's pretty long. But the part that got to me was when she said she finished the game in two hours. To ME, that's a waste of money. BigFish, I love your games, even if the ODD one isn't as well done as the first in a series. 🇨🇦 🐟 🇨🇦 🐟 👍 👍 🤗 🙋🏼 🙆🏼 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ P.S. I apologize for being rude, and this is MY opinion only... ### 1/5 — Viel zu kurz *2016-09-25* Spart Euch das Geld. In so kurzer Zeit hatte ich noch nie ein WB durch. Schade um das Geld. ### 1/5 — Huge Fail! *2016-09-16* Very disappointed in this game. It just ends abruptly. Was expecting a lot more based on previous Poe games. This one was way too short with an ending that just came out of nowhere and didn't explain why the murderer committed the murders. The map is useless as it doesn't allow for automatic transport. Oh, and add to that the huge glitch in the bonus game HOP where I can't pick up the prosthetic leg. All in all this game is a big fail! I want my money back! ## Frequently asked questions about Dark Tales ### What is this app about?
