But try not to play this with your volume on high. Really fun tho. ### 4/5 — Short and Simple, Few Complaints *2020-12-01, version 1.2.0* The only thing I don’t like is the fact there’s no save point. There is an endless mode which is nice, but if you lose, you have to start entirely all over. It’s a short and cute game mixed with a little bit of morbid. I do really like how the monsters have descriptions too, and I feel like this game could definitely get bigger and better if more were added. Very satisfied. ### 4/5 — It’s a great start *2020-05-13, version 1.2.0* It’s very amateur, but it’s still good. I think more can be expanded from it. ### 4/5 — Cool app *2019-10-27, version 1.2.0* It’s a great app not to hard but not too easy (it also has interesting monsters) although sometimes it’s annoying to have to go through the first level in order to get to the one you currently are on it would of been nice if they had a save progress or checkmark but overall, not complaining because if you get to a certain point you get an endless mode and you get to pick the room you were on so yea it’s pretty good ### 5/5 — Love love love it 😍 *2019-10-11, version 1.2.0* I love this game it always gave me scares bow im replaying it on my phone ### 4/5 — Sounds good *2019-08-05, version 1.2.0* Blah blah ### 5/5 — Woah *2016-11-16, version 1.0.0* Great fun, easy to work out but a little creepy! Makes a difference to all of the other apps, well recommended. ### 5/5 — Creepy fun *2016-11-14, version 1.0.0* This game is fun and creepy at the same time. I wish there were some instructions at the beginning. Once you get a hang of it, it's fun to play. ### 4/5 — Very interesting game *2016-11-13, version 1.0.0* This game has an interesting feel to it and the art style is cool. The game play is a bit simple but I think that's ok for this title. ### 5/5 — Creepy and awesome! *2016-10-12, version 1.0.0* As a fan of the morbid and the weird this game really brings the creepy into full gear! It's super intuitive and I was surprised at how quickly the levels would escalate!
