### 2/5 — Ok

*2024-04-02, version 1.4*

Ok game. Don’t like ads at every move. Also $9.99 too expensive. Fire maple games are similar but also superior in graphics but cost much less

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2023-03-23, version 1.3*

I loved this game but getting half way through it and then having to pay 5 dollars is a rip off.

### 2/5 — Only a demo. 4.99 to play. Don’t get started.

*2023-02-24*

This wasn’t the best designed game to begin with. There was no directions with the puzzles, and you could start them, even if you didn’t have what you needed to start. The only problem with that is you don’t know you don’t have what you need to do the puzzles. I would not pay to finish the game. Big pass.

### 3/5 — Loved it,but

*2023-02-01*

I did not appreciate not being told that it was only a demo from the very beginning, i would have still played it , but getting halfway through the game and only then being notified it’s 4.99 just to finish it. No thanks , I don’t like being bamboozled into paying to finish. I might have bought the entire game if I knew it was a demo from the beginning. That being said, I still very much enjoyed what I did get to play, beautiful artwork, and definitely made me think, I like that in a game. Keep up the great work and just be more transparent in the future.

### 2/5 — Keeps going back

*2022-11-15*

I was enjoying the game but every time I halt the game I am back at an earlier part when I restart it.

### 2/5 — Overall not worth paying for

*2022-11-13*

Played the free part, which is a bit longer introductory part than most games - I’m assuming to make sure you’re invested before they make you pay for the rest. I bought the game in order to complete it.

Enjoyed, the game but overall I did not feel it was worth the price in either length or quality. I would have been happy if I’d paid £3 or less for it, but it costs closer to £5, and there are much better games out there at that price.

### 2/5 — Not everything works as it should

*2022-06-01, version 1.3*

There are scenes and clues that do not work in the app. The neighbors home scene will NOT allow me to climb the ladder as an example! It’s frustrating when you KNOW you’re on the right track and the app won’t work!!

### 2/5 — Disappointed in April 22, 2022

*2022-04-23*

I had the same problem as a previous viewer in September.  I only got as far as the neighbor’s house and each time I clicked on the ladder, door, or bird house a window offering hints for $4.99 popped up.  I tried leaving, coming back, and closing the app and I couldn’t get around it. How frustrating!

### 3/5 — Deceitful charges

*2022-01-30, version 1.3*

Once you get to a certain level this game charges 4.99 to continue. Not free at all which I searched in app “free games” 
Great game but not worth paying for to finish!

### 4/5 — Not bad, good atmosphere

*2022-01-02*

Puzzles were pretty easy. Glad this wasn’t a hunt-the-pixel nightmare. Was willing to pay to finish but didn’t realize it was just part 1 and ends on a cliffhanger.

Was a bit confused at first. Is the protagonist dragging around her own daughter throughout the story? Or were some of those supposed to be visions?

Anyway the backstory was telegraphed in advance but I was playing for the resolution… which isn’t in the game. Sigh.

As always I play these wondering what weird physics allows the arrangement of, say, fruit to pop up clues but hey… I know, it’s the genre.

### 4/5 — Part 2!?

*2021-11-09, version 1.3*

When is the next part going to be available?

### 3/5 — hat mich nicht überzeugt

*2021-09-27*

wieder gelöscht nach 10 minuten

### 4/5 — Tolles Game

*2021-08-18*

Im Großen und Ganzen ein tolles Game, aber ein blödes Ende. Hab ich das richtig verstanden es gibt eine Fortsetzung?

### 2/5 — Carino

*2021-07-25, version 1.3*

Bello per la trama ma nulla di speciale

### 2/5 — Dull

*2021-07-08*

I’ve played games by this developer before, most recently the motel game, which was pretty good.  This one just didn’t grab me, especially with a $4.99 unlock price.  As a rule, I prefer to pay for games, but I just couldn’t bring myself to click the button this time.  If it were a couple dollars less, maybe.  And now that I read reviews saying the game isn’t even complete….well, that’s a big nope.  There are lots better games of this type for iPad.  Maybe I’ll reconsider when the rest of it comes out, if the developer offers a deal.  Maybe.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2021-06-29*

Ok so I played the game and it was good at first un till I tried to go to the old ladies house and I couldn’t go in unless I paid . Which I played the game for maybe 40mins and to almost be done and have to pay to finish I thought was a bit not worth it so let this be a warning that at the end if u want to finish u must pay ty for ur time

### 4/5 — Fixed!

*2021-06-02, version 1.3*

Uninstalled and reinstalled app, this worked to “unfreeze” the glitch at Mrs Harris house (ladder, bird house, etc.) Of course, at this point I was prompted to buy the whole game. :-)

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2021-05-23, version 1.3*

This game is great but I should not have to pay $5! To progress to the rest of the game this is ridiculous and I will be deleting the game because of it

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2021-05-07, version 1.3*

Can’t click on anything on the old lady’s house. Door, ladder, bird house all do nothing. I’ve watched a walkthrough and have clicked just about every pixel on the screen.

### 1/5 — Deadly secrets of autumn drive

*2024-03-30, version 1.4*

A new add literally every 2 minutes!! Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Autumn Drive

*2024-01-19, version 1.3*

I have started this game over 2 times because it keeps eliminating things from the cache that are needed and then you have to start over!

### 1/5 — Molto scorretto

*2023-01-17, version 1.3*

Il gioco viene interrotto dopo il 30% circa, per poterlo completare è necessario acquistarlo a 6 € (che per quanto simpatico non li vale assolutamente) 

1 stella per la scorrettezza, basta anticipare che si tratti di una demo e il problema si risolve. Sciù!

### 1/5 — I'm disappointed without Chinese

*2022-05-11, version 1.3*

Before, his game supported Chinese. I had a good time. However, there is no Chinese in the recent models. I am very disappointed. I hope that the next update game can support Chinese - whether trial version or official version

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2022-04-16*

Pay nearly £5 for an incomplete story!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t Skip When Characters Talk

*2021-09-17*

Love the game but u can’t skip when the characters are telling stories it’s so frustrating we don’t want to watch them talking we want to get on and play the game! U created the game but didn’t use your brain I mean like come on every game has a skip option! So next time use your brain

### 1/5 — Not worth paying!

*2021-09-10, version 1.3*

Where’s the rest of the game?! I paid for the full version that lasted a whole hour….that’s it. Then I got “to be continued”. I guess they want you to pay again to finish the game. What a ripoff!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-09-08*

Loved the story line, but couldn’t go any farther than the neighbors house. So disappointing! This is my 2nd game by these creators and I wasn’t expecting to only be able to go half way through the game. The first game didn’t do this. Very crappy!!! Listen to your comments and change this problem!!!!!!!!

Just read the developers feedback…I didn’t realize it was a demo!!! If I had known that from the beginning it would have made a huge difference.  Maybe that should be stated before the gamer gets into the game. Transparency is better than fooling people.

**Developer response:** Hi there!
While we appreciate the time you took to review our app, our team of designers, engineers, and artists spent quite a bit of their time making this game. This is how they make their living. It takes a huge effort & well over 18 months are put into it with a lot of debugging, testing, designing and so forth. We hope you at least enjoyed the demo, and thank you for reviewing our app!

### 1/5 — Money chaser

*2021-08-25, version 1.3*

They hook you into the game and then want you to pay to continue.

### 1/5 — Not worth $4.99

*2021-07-21, version 1.3*

I finished all the haiku games available and was in need of another escape mystery game and found this. Lemme tell you, the puzzles are easy, the game is terribly short, and overall is not worth $4.99. I blame my curiosity for making me pay money for it just to see what would happen only for it to end with a cliff hanger. 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 5/5 — Very interesting game

*2023-02-08, version 1.3*

I enjoyed the storyline and the puzzles.

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2021-05-02, version 1.3*

Can’t wait for the sequel!!

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyed the game

*2021-03-03*

I didn’t expect the game to end so quickly. It was so exciting that I will look forward to the next part. I really liked it, even if it was a little scary.

### 5/5 — I did not expect this

*2021-03-01*

When I started playing this game, I thought it was just a beautiful and relaxing story with simple puzzles. But as I moved forward, the puzzles got harder and the tension increased. And the ending was so scary that my heart is still beating at a frantic pace.

### 5/5 — I am angry but I keep playing

*2021-02-27*

I can’t solve the matching game in the old lady’s house. I can’t move on from here. But I like this game so much that I will try to do it over and over again.

### 5/5 — No bugs.

*2021-02-26, version 1.3*

Game good works on my old iPhone. I think on new models it will be flying.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-02-25*

I have been playing this game for over a week now when I have free time. I want to say that the graphics are great, the puzzles are very fun, everything is just amazing. But I am going to pay for the unlimited hints because I am stuck.

### 5/5 — Finally something new!

*2021-02-24, version 1.3*

Finally! I liked the previous part and this not disappointed me - storyline is interesting. Thank you.

### 5/5 — mariari

*2021-02-22, version 1.3*

Muy recomendable, como todos los demás

### 5/5 — Challenging puzzles in the second house

*2021-02-22*

In the first house, all the puzzles are quite simple, but when you start to explore the house of the old lady, everything becomes much more challenging. I hope that I will be able to solve all of them. But for now I am stuck on a strange game in the box in the second house.
