### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2025-03-24*

So much fun figuring out the game. Really uses your deductive skills. But then again it’s made by a talented team.

### 5/5 — Challenging and fun!

*2024-10-15, version 1.0.0*

I bought a few of these games years ago, some of which don’t work anymore because of their age and the newness of my device, but one did so because I never played it when I bought it I decided to. It was The Mystery of Marie Roget and it was really fun. I decided to buy the other few in the App Store and I’m so glad I did. Though these games are nearly ten years old and haven’t been updated in ages they work well and are really fun! Lenore by far is the most challenging yet. I play with no help or hints which makes a likely two hour game last more like twelve hours. Well worth $9.99 in my opinion. I love the morphing objects, collection and achievements as well. Wish they were still making these and that the old ones could get an update.

### 1/5 — Lenore game freezes on more than 2 trials poor rated

*2024-06-04, version 1.0.0*

Keeps on failing trails

### 5/5 — Helped me during my darkest hour..

*2023-07-07*

I’m an RN who is desperately trying to escape from disability. I’m broke even though I spent four years to do so. I’d love any help I could due so, I adore children and also my concentration is in geriatrics. I am looking for anyone who needs a sitter I would love to work as one.

### 5/5 — Lenore review

*2022-07-28*

This game has a well developed plot with good graphics and great games.  The scenery is in keeping with Poe’s style of writing.

### 2/5 — Needs to be taken down for promoting suicide

*2021-11-10*

I gave this game 5 stars originally. This was before I got to the part where the creators promote suicide as manly. Suicide is not manly. It is COWARDLY. In the past I never would have commented on this but I have since learned that, for depressed people or others who are in a very dark place, a seemingly small remark becomes a sign meant directly for them. I hope you will seriously consider removing that one small line from your story. It certainly will not change the rest of your otherwise great game.

### 1/5 — Dark Takes - Lenora

*2021-04-12, version 1.0.0*

Waste of money. Game wouldn’t accept taps, had to skip mini games and then it kept telling me there was a mirror in one of the rooms when there wasn’t. Waste of £6.99

### 2/5 — Disappointed.

*2021-01-09*

The transitions between scenes are cumbersome and slow. I’m running the latest version of iOS on an iPad Pro. The storyline is ok, but there are too many puzzles that are juvenile (tracing lines, hidden objects). As I would expect from a Poe inference, the scenes are darkly lit, but I’d like the the contrast of colors to look more professional.

The worst part was it kept me curious to see if it improved, so I bought the full version, it’s just not worth it.

### 1/5 — Lenore

*2020-12-04, version 1.0.0*

Game is just not what I like.  Tired of some of the game .... impossible and don’t do well.

### 5/5 — Big fish

*2020-03-21, version 1.0.0*

I love it
