I absolutely adore this game and the graphics of the game are so beautiful but there is one thing i need to address about.... WHY DOES THE VOICE ACTORS SOUND LIKE DYING CATS?? Very sorry if that sounded impolite but i suggest u get new actors who don't have very squeaky ☺️ ### 4/5 — Second *2025-01-01, version 1.0.6* A beautiful game, but many aspects pale in comparison to the first. ### 5/5 — Another Plus *2024-10-21, version 1.0.6* Good game, some challenging puzzles, lots of fun. ### 4/5 — I am having fun time. *2024-10-09, version 1.0.6* It is good to relax your brain. ### 5/5 — 暗証番号がおかしい *2024-09-16* 救急車の中の彫像の手を取り出すところの暗証番号が9だけ光って、取り出せません。 ### 5/5 — I have enjoyed all of the 5bn games. *2024-09-04, version 1.0.6* Lost lands is my fav, but they are all fun. You only see an add if you need a clue. I try not to use them. Games unlocked by achievements are fun as well. ### 5/5 — Love 5-BN games *2024-08-25, version 1.0.6* Love playing 5-BN games. The graphics and story lines are the best. ### 5/5 — 最高です(°▽°) *2024-08-10* こんなに内容たっぷりで無料なんて❕ 有難う御座います♪♪ ### 5/5 — Simply The BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST *2024-08-04* Five BN games are the best. You are the standard that the others are judged. This game is gorgeous with the colors, story line and players. We are immediately drawn in. Please make more of this and others you make please. My hard earned money is spent on you! ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-01, version 1.0.6* Some puzzles are really hard there is only one big problem with this game which is you can’t stop playing it 😀I have had many late nights and have enjoyed every minute of it ### 5/5 — Ace developers *2024-07-13, version 1.0.6* Love FIVE-BN STUDIO games! ### 5/5 — Very engaging *2024-06-11, version 1.0.6* The puzzles are challenging! ### 5/5 — Good Game *2024-05-18, version 1.0.6* I really enjoy this series. This one had a lot better flow than the first. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-05-16, version 1.0.6* Great free game. ### 4/5 — Not enough *2024-05-15* The games are awesome. I love the content and the graphics are great. But there is only so many time you can go through them until you get bored. I just wish there were more. The other games I play, they unlock another chapter once you finish one. The only downside would be that I would spend all my time on the games if there were more chapters. ### 4/5 — good game, could be better *2024-05-07, version 1.0.6* Some of the puzzles are hard to distinguish due to the lack of the ability to zoom in. ### 5/5 — Super! *2024-04-22, version 1.0.6* C’est un jeu immersif qui nous transporte d’une histoire a l’autre dans une continuité nous permettant de suivre dans l’histoire. Le prix est relativement bas pour ce type de jeu, qui me semble plus long en défi et nouvelle scènes. ### 5/5 — 面白い *2024-04-03* 全て無料で出来るのが素晴らしい👍日本語対応していないゲームがあるのが残念😢日本語対応して下さい。お願いします。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard. No hints. *2026-04-07, version 1.0.6* Supposedly you can watch ads to get coins for hints for these puzzles but all I see is a message saying “no suitable ads” so I can’t play the game. If you can’t solve the puzzles, and some are absurdly hard, you just can’t play at all. ### 1/5 — Bugs are NOT fixed *2025-11-29* On the puzzle to get through the door that requires you to tap the arrows, the “up” arrows do not work. I thought initially I was hitting the wrong button, but numerous attempts sent me sideways instead of up. Tried experimenting with other arrows and every time “up” sends you in a different direction. In addition, as others have said, the wording on some clues is VERY bad. Loved the first game but this one needed a lot more work before release and I call “bots” on all these five star reviews. ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-12-22, version 1.0.5* Tried uninstalling and reinstalling without any success in getting sound. Uninstalled permanently. ### 1/5 — Impossible *2023-09-09, version 1.0.5* Even with a walk through couldn’t get through level 2 ### 1/5 — OMG *2022-10-22, version 1.0.4* How long does this game take? Lost the will to live. Back and forth,back and forth,back and forth. If you really haven’t got a life with nothing else to do, this is the game for you ### 1/5 — 音がでない *2022-09-17* このシリーズを音が出ない状態でダウンロードされます。 **Developer response:** Unfortunately, in this situation, we can't help you, since the developer doesn't control the installation process. The download and installation of the app on the user's device are controlled by the e-app store. Please refer to the app store where you downloaded the game. We hope for a successful resolution of your question! ### 1/5 — Free To Play *2022-05-01, version 1.0.4* I’m sick of these free to play games I DON’T want to play these games on hard mode, it’s not enjoyable going back and forth between rooms endlessly because you don’t have a map that shows active items. Additionally you should put F2P in the title. ### 2/5 — To much skipping back and forth *2023-11-10, version 1.0.5* Intentional misdirection. ### 2/5 — Why is there no Chinese version *2023-09-30, version 1.0.5* Why is there no Chinese version，but the previous version had a Chinese version，sad！！ ### 2/5 — Not always great *2022-05-22, version 1.0.4* I’m sure this review will get lost in the mass of 5 star reviews. I often wonder if some of them are fake tbh. This game series feels not the developers best work. My main frustration (and notably not recorded in any other review) is one of the puzzles just doesn’t work properly, the pointing is completely off so you constantly press the wrong thing. Some of the other puzzles just feel lazy - e.g. finding the right order to press things in just by trial and error. It’s just lazy. Several of the steps really don’t feel logical at all. I usually like these games but this particular series feels poor. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 面白い *2026-01-23* 映像が綺麗でサクサク割りと進みやすい ### 5/5 — These are all so great! *2025-11-17* This is the fourth or fifth game I’ve played from Five-BN and they continue to keep me engaged and enthralled. I do us hints here and there but the puzzles are just the right amount of challenging. I use the hints mostly to figure out where I saw the chest or door or whatever that needs the piece I’ve just found. Some wonky mechanics especially in mini games, but manageable and worth the troubles. Highly recommend for puzzle people who enjoyed the DaVinci and The Room games. ### 5/5 — 2もよかった！ *2025-11-10* ロストランド大好きですがかなり長編でタスクも多くて途中何度か疲れちゃうけど、ダークネスアンドフレイムは程よい長さで次のシリーズに続いていくからまた次もプレイしたい！と思わせるとこがよいと思います。 私ごとですがストーリーをうまく解釈できなくて1の最後に自由の女神が出てくるしスティーブはかなり現代人っぽくてファンタジーと現代の区別がよく理解できないですwでも楽しいので3に進みます！ ### 5/5 — Darkness and flame *2025-07-30, version 1.0.6* Great game really entertaining and fun graphics. ### 5/5 — LOVE This *2025-06-21, version 1.0.6* PLEASE make another one like this game. Thanks. This is my second run through the entire series of Darkness and Flame. I LOVE THESE GAMES. Please make more. Thank you for a wonderful series. ### 5/5 — Great games *2025-04-29* I am hooked with these games and i cant believe they are FREE!!!! They put so much effort and work in them. Thanks so much you keep me occupied and I enjoyed every minute of the puzzles the hard ones and the difficult ones. I splurged and bought some HINTS because i feel guilty of playing something so good for free, so I encourage all the buy at least once. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-04-17, version 1.0.6* The lack of constant adverts sets these games apart from the rest. They are the only ones of this genre that i’m willing to pay for. ### 5/5 — Five-BN=5star *2025-03-12, version 1.0.6* These games are elite and superior to others of the same genre. I can’t believe they are free but having said that I have purchased some to contribute so they can make more! Thank you for making such enjoyable high quality games ### 5/5 — Great game! *2024-12-14, version 1.0.6* This is such a fun game! Of course there are challenging puzzles but if I want to skip it I get advertised other amazing games as well! This game has such good graphics as well as emotions in the npc’s! Definitely worth getting this game! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Love the Creators. *2024-12-02, version 1.0.6* Absolutely love these games with a passion. I cannot get enough. Please keep creating these fantastic games. They are the best!! Marry me. Mwah. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
