### 5/5 — Love!!

*2024-10-17, version 1.0.0*

I love these games! I wish more were available for iPad. I’m a lay in bed and play games kind of person but since I believe all of these Dark Tales games are available for PC or Mac, it might be worth getting a laptop. I seriously love them that much! Even though they are almost ten years old, the four I have work great. No bugs. The achievements and collectables are a lot of fun. You get an extra mini game if you gather all collectables. Very nice added touch. I really hope they will release all of the Dark Tales: Edgar Allen Poe games for iPad. I would definitely purchase them all. If you play without any interactive help and disengage all hints and skips then the game can last many frustrating hours. Well worth the $9.99 for hours of game play.

### 1/5 — Проблемы с картинкой

Когда открываю игру с телефона (айфон 12, все обновления установлены), на экране появляется только кусок всей картинки, как будто бы сильно приближенный. Не получается никак это убрать.
