### 4/5 — It could save where you stoped from

*2025-12-06, version 1.0*

It would be great if it save where you stoped from in the middle of a level.

### 4/5 — Saving progress

*2025-07-27*

I like the game so far but I hate that it doesn’t have a saving progress. I can’t do the whole chapter at once and if I close and open the app I have to start all over again. Kinda annoying, please add a saving progress feature

### 4/5 — I need help

*2024-04-24*

I love this game so far. Graphics are great but one probelm. IM STUCK ON CHAPTER ONE. I cant scroll for some reason. I play on macbook pro. Does anyone have this problem?? If so give feed back on reddit. My reddit is lilylikestopla.
Btw (My bar is broken do i can't see.)

### 3/5 — Expect to play straight through; Does not save your progress

*2024-04-05*

I will start on a positive note, because the idea behind the game is fun and overall, it was fun. If you liked the game Device 6, then you’ll enjoy this because it’s quite similar in terms of how it plays and the kind of things you have to do/puzzles you need to solve.

That said, there are two things that could be better. First, the last level is a pain in the butt because it is timed and there is NO margin for error. This means that if you tap the wrong thing once or too soon, you get to try again, but you need to get through multiple stages of the level. You can, for example pass through the first two challenges, but if you screw up the next one enough times, you go ALL the way back to the start of the level and redo everything you already did. I get that it’s supposed to make the situation feel urgent and realistic, but c’mon. This is an APP! After awhile, it got pretty boring/frustrating having to keep restarting and I wanted to quit. 

This is the other problem with this game; if you don’t play each chapter from start to finish, the game does not save your progress on your current level. So if you play most or part of the way through chapter 3 (for example) and have to leave the game, you have to go all the way back to the start of chapter 3 and redo everything you already did. 

So if you can get past those two things, you’ll probably enjoy this game.

### 3/5 — Fun game but you have to pay $7.99!!!!!

*2024-03-18*

I downloaded this game thinking it was a cool fun investigation game. I played the first level and it was really fun 🤩. It wasn’t too hard and not too easy. But then, when I pressed on level 2, it said I had to pay money for it. 😫🤯 It’s a bit expensive as well. It said $7.99 for all the levels. And I’m not willing to pay that much money for a little game. Beware of this before you download this game. The creators of this game are obviously money hungry. Pls make all levels free. Then it would be the best game ever thank you!

### 3/5 — need help

*2023-12-12*

it was okay because it was difficult to move on after chaper one and i couldnt figure out how to move on after the entry of chapter one

### 3/5 — No way to save?

*2023-09-25*

Great game, but I just opened the app expecting to continue where I left off and realized there is no way to save. Really? Chapter 4 is kind of a pain to have to start all the way over! So disappointing.

### 3/5 — Demo

*2023-08-09*

Interesting concept but this is a demo and it's too short for me to determine if I want to buy the game. It's $7cad.

### 4/5 — Seems Good

*2023-07-22*

it seems like a game i would enjoy, the symbols on the tv aren't correct however (not sure if this was a mistake) the diamond and crown should be switched, also it won't let me buy the game on mac for whatever reason, i keep clicking the button to buy and nothing pops up

### 3/5 — Chapter 5 is terrible on Mac

*2023-05-28*

Chapter 5 of the game is more about fast mouse actions than puzzles and since this game seems desigend for touch playing on a mac is not the best idea (A simple solution would be for players players on a computer with keyboards to be able to press buttons when promted instead in chapter 5)

I would also suggest adding iCloud Syncing so that if i start playing on a mac i can then pick up the game on my iPhone and complete chapter 5 there.

Also consider adding built in video walkthroughs in the game for when players get so stuck that the hints don't even help.

Overall the game was ok.

### 3/5 — Do you have to put before playing

*2023-05-18*

I forgot to check and I think I might have payed for it by accident

### 3/5 — Its ok

*2023-05-04*

I loved this game, the only thing that isnt good is the fact that you have to pay for the chapters after chapter 1 :(

### 4/5 — Promising but scrolling is horrible

*2023-04-07, version 1.0.2*

Enjoyable puzzles but on iOS the scrolling is slow and stilted making it frustrating to search for info and clues. Is it deliberate? Could it be changed?

### 4/5 — Fun with a caveat

*2023-03-22*

It is a fun game with a mix of puzzles, good characters, and a decent story. The only problem I have is that the last chapter relies on memory and reflexes so if you have any limits on these things it might be inaccessible. Great game but not very accomodating.

### 1/5 — Not free.

*2024-03-23*

5 minute free trial, then have to pay.

### 1/5 — Cool sample but it’s a trick

*2023-12-15*

I’m sure it’s nice, but no way I’m going to pay for the rest of the game. It doesn’t even tell you that you have to pay for it until after you play chapter one because it gets you interested so that you’re more willing to pay.  
DON’T FALL FOR IT

### 1/5 — good

*2023-09-19, version 1.0*

good

### 1/5 — NOT A FREE GAME

*2023-08-31*

this type of game should not be able to market as free with “in app purchases”. to progress beyond the first level, you have to pay five dollars, and this is not disclosed until you beat the first level.

### 2/5 — Resume not working…

*2023-09-08*

I had to restart this game three times because it does not have save or continue from your last play. If you exit the game you cannot return. It looks interesting, but I don’t have the time to sit and play this game to the end in one go.

### 2/5 — Has potential

*2023-05-23*

Not certain how many chapters this game has bc I'm not about to pay for it, but immediately after Chapter 1 you hit that paywall. Strongly dislike games that do this without giving enough to even evaluate. The symbols are also out of order FYI.

### 2/5 — Very hard

*2023-04-17*

For me, it is right to super hard mode on chapter 2 :(

### 2/5 — Confusing controls + possible bugs (?)

*2023-04-08*

I love the art style and puzzle point and click games in general. However it was very difficult to navigate which made me stop playing the game after getting stuck on the safe puzzle.

### 2/5 — Why do you have to spend money

*2023-03-22*

I came into this game wanting to have fun finally finding a free game but I solve the only puzzle and I have to pay.
But I do like how it has good puzzles and that’s the only thing I like

### 3/5 — Save game

*2024-05-04*

This game is fun and all….but a save and continue feature would be nice so people wouldn’t have to start from scratch every time they play..

### 5/5 — i never played it

*2023-07-14*

i never played it but i know it will be good

### 5/5 — good

*2023-06-26*

fun game

### 5/5 — A wise man once said-

*2023-05-21*

This game is very fun, good plot, good puzzles, AMAZING GAME one flaw though. This isn’t worth $5 it’s kinda like $3-$4 so AMAZING GAME overall, I had ALOT of fun figuring out the puzzles and playing the game, very unique!

### 5/5 — Great game! Super jeu!

*2023-05-16*

C’est un jeu génial, mais ce n’est qu’une demo faut acheter le jeu par la suite si on souhaite continuer. L’histoire semble dingue et les casses têtes sont de vrais casses têtes !!!!!

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend, just some issues I want to voice to devs

*2023-05-13*

Hello Developers and Future Players,

This game is awesome, especially, if you enjoy reading, puzzles, point and click adventures, and interactive literature. It even has graphics and sound. It’s like basically the book is alive and it wants you to help it’s character before it’ll let you read more, but your inside the book and you are the character. Best way I can explain it.

Devs, I just was hoping you could try to add a save feature, it is so frustrating, getting into the book and a puzzle, typing it in my notes and figuring it out and then the game just goes right back to the main menu and I have to go through it all over again. I’ve done this too many times to count. Also, we need better guides, a step by step guide with the conclusions on how to solve the puzzle your stuck on. The internet has some guides with some weird input. For instance the phrase “Beware of Destiny”, they say is “Beware of Destitution”. This makes no sense and they don’t tell you how it got that conclusion. 

TLDR; The game is great, needs a save button, needs better informed guides, I hope the developers respond.

### 5/5 — cool game

*2023-03-27*

it looks like a cool game, i might update this review when (if) i buy it.

one minor thing that’s bothering me: the spacing in the writing is strange like “that’s      when   i remember the strange       object” lol

### 5/5 — Clever entertainment

*2023-03-24*

Great game, love the story and all the challenges along the way. It definitely made my commuting time

### 5/5 — great game- but not worth $5

*2023-03-18*

looks great so far :) i enjoyed chapter one, but before purchasing, i skimmed through a walkthrough and, with the many bugs i've encountered, specifically w/ the tv (didnt show channels 7-9 until reloading app) and audio (didn't play after reloading), it's more like a $3 game at this stage. i can definitely see it having potential in the future, and as a coder myself i appreciate the immense amount of work that was clearly put into it- alll in all, keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-18*

The format of this app is great, and the stories are great.

### 5/5 — Instant buy! 😃

*2023-03-16, version 1.0.2*

I’m ecstatic that a new game by the people that created unmemory is out, unmemory was so unique I really enjoyed it, so few games actually make you think and seem to just be narrative games with no puzzles these days so it’s a real treat when games like this come along. So far it is just as great as unmemory and I’m loving every minute. A huge thank you to the people behind this!
