Sound on is a must to progress. ### 2/5 — Such a disappointment *2023-07-26, version 1.5* This game was on my wishlist for years since the release. What I found is a game full of really overcomplicated puzzles that needs pen and paper and a sharp eyes to see anything on a small screen. This game is not something that you can play on your couch or while you're on the way. ### 5/5 — Thrilling! *2023-06-14, version 1.5* I’ve gone back and played this game a couple of times over the years and adore it. The visuals, the sound, the puzzles, the story; all are imaginative and compelling. Depending on how quick you can solve the puzzles it can be quite a short game, but is none the less a lot of fun! Players of Portal or Portal 2 might quite enjoy this game! ### 5/5 — Gorgeous *2023-04-18, version 1.5* Unique, beautifully executed concept. Reminds me a bit of analog horror (though this is more like analog mystery). ### 3/5 — Pretty well written, puzzles OK *2023-03-11, version 1.5* Pretty well written, and the little world they have created is somewhat interesting and fun to explore and learn about. The plot twist / extra bonus level of interest is quite cool. The chapters puzzles are all identical, unfortunately: Seek clues in the environment / text that give you numbers or symbols to enter on various keypads to pass to the next chapter. Overall, I’m sort of glad I played it. To the authors: Leave the cigarettes out of the story. It adds nothing to the character, and smoking is terrible. ### 5/5 — Lovely visual experience *2023-01-07, version 1.5* This game has been on my radar since it first came out, I finally got to play it this year. Like others have said the puzzles are a bit tricky and the story is a bit short and somewhat confusing, but I’d still give it 5 stars because of the uniqueness and artistic choice. 2014-2016 was a great period for innovative iOS games and I’m now revisiting all the classics. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2022-10-20, version 1.5* I remember the feeling when I played this game the first time back in the golden age of mobile phone’s game. I decided to download and experience this game again since I forgot the plot and puzzles. Let me tell you, it’s nearly 2023 and no puzzle game give me the same experience as this one. The UI, sound design, creativity, and hard work that have put to this game ages like a fine wine. The dev outdid themself. It amazed me this game is almost 10 years old. If you ever see this review, buy the game, don’t hesitate. ps. I hope the devs are doing great. Take care! ### 3/5 — Insufferable murcianiam *2022-10-05, version 1.5* The app excepted me to have any idea what an inch is. Also, it doesn't rotate the system bar to landscape. ### 4/5 — Grateful *2022-10-03, version 1.5* My favourite game from years ago. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2022-09-14* Пожалуй лучшая игра на iPhone. Прошло почти 10 лет, а ничего не поменялось ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2022-07-01, version 1.5* I’ve always loved puzzles even as a kid! I love the challenges and how it gets me to think outside of the box. With that said, this is by far one of my favorite puzzle games! This is different from most if not all other puzzle games because it submerges you into a story. As you read you (and it’s best to play with headphones) you can hear the background noises as if you are there and you’re trying to escape! I’ve played this game more than once and I’ve been waiting for this team to come out with another game similar! Wishful thinking, but I have high hopes 😅 ### 5/5 — Best game i have ever played *2022-06-28, version 1.5* This is not a game, it's a work of art. the music, the narration and the details were so beautiful. A very cleverly designed game. I was simply amazed ### 5/5 — Nothing else like it *2022-06-26, version 1.5* I normally don’t write reviews but I felt compelled to write one for this game because it was a truly amazing experience. The stylization of the text was incredibly unique, and the puzzles themselves had a great difficulty that was never too easy or too hard. The narrative itself was fascinating to follow as well and it kept me hooked from start to finish. If you’re not sure whether you should get this game, I can ASSURE you that it’s worth it. You won’t find an experience like this anywhere else. ### 5/5 — Mind bending and brilliant *2022-05-28, version 1.5* I just finished the game, and had to come give a review. This is the most unique game I have played in years, maybe ever. The gameplay and interface are unique, the storyline is fabulous, and I had a blast playing. The ending is brilliant and made me want to immediately replay the entire game with this new insight—so much I ignored the first time became chillingly clear the second time around!! Do not hesitate, get this game now and prepare for a wild ride!! ### 5/5 — Enchanting *2022-04-27* A story abducting you to an island, where all kinds of strange vintage devices are set up for you to decipher. Great combination of Graphic design, storytelling and escape riddles. ### 5/5 — Love this!! *2021-12-12, version 1.5* I’ve played this a few times, and love the variation of puzzles. My only question is where is the HAT follow up? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not PLAYABLE *2026-01-25, version 1.5* How do you play this? Where are settings? ### 1/5 — Not for Deaf people. *2025-04-12, version 1.5* One star because there is no warning in the description of the game that this game requires sound to be playable I would not have bought it if I knew that. It’s unplayable for me. No subtitles. ### 1/5 — Like a badly done escape room *2024-05-26, version 1.5* The solutions to the puzzles were either arbitrary or too contrived to be fun and the first part of the lighthouse code I think is just incorrect. I like the game play, but the puzzle design was really disappointing. ### 1/5 — My uncensored review *2021-10-21, version 1.5* The puzzles in this game are too few and too far between and, worse that that, they are too cryptic by far. There is no help for you when you get impossibly stuck (which WILL happen). It is a not very good story told in an impenetrable format. I cannot say anything other than “don’t waste your time or money!”. My first review of this app was censored because I described this game as “stupid”. So I wonder if this will be censored as well? ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2021-06-08, version 1.5* This game is a complete waste of time and money. It’s clunky, stupid and non-intuitive. Whoever these geniuses are who think this is awesome, must be the development staff family , friends and investors . ### 1/5 — Waste of money. *2020-07-16, version 1.4* This must be, hands down, the most boring and tedious puzzle game I have ever experienced. ### 1/5 — Não é bem um jogo *2020-05-27* Ta mais pra um livro interativo com puzzles. Tem que saber ingles, se não sem chance. Não gostei dos puzzles, tem que ficar indo e vindo, alguns nao fazem sentido, etc. Joguei até o capitulo 3, não consegui ouvir a famosa musica. ### 1/5 — A short story in a complicated format *2020-03-05, version 1.4* To me this is a short story in a complicated and annoying format. ### 1/5 — Schwachsinn im Quadrat *2019-09-25* Was soll das für ein Spielkonzept sein? Ständiges drehen und wenden des Tablets, blödsinnige Bilder (ausgestopfte Bären), schwachsinnige Rätsel, keine Anleitung, eigentlich weiß man gar nicht so recht was man eigentlich tun soll. Bekommt man es raus, endet halt einfach das Kapitel und fertig. Spannung: null Spaß: null Und dazu noch die ständige Fragen nach der Qualität des Spiels und der Zufriedenheit - einfach nur blöd. ### 1/5 — No sense *2019-06-18, version 1.4* The puzzles in this game make no sense and there are no clues to help. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need more like this ASAP *2026-05-13, version 1.5* Been looking for something as good as this for a long time. Still haven’t found it ### 5/5 — What an experience! *2026-04-13, version 1.5* I’m very late to the game but even after all these years, Device 6 had me hooked and completely engrossed in the gameplay. It’s a short game but leaves a lasting impression and definitely leaves you wanting more. Even if puzzles are not your cup of tea, you have to admire the unique presentation and the clever details. ### 5/5 — Stand out all time favorite *2024-12-05, version 1.5* I am continually searching for another game that I might enjoy and immerse myself in as much as I did with this one. ### 5/5 — Exceptionally Unique *2024-12-04, version 1.5* The sound design, the art design, to the screen orientation is all amazing. They don’t make mobile games like this anymore. A true gem that will never leave my phone. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2024-10-04, version 1.5* Amazing story, visuals, puzzles and sound. Never played a game like this before and really wish it was longer! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2024-10-03, version 1.5* I haven’t played anything like this before. ### 5/5 — Beautiful, eerie, and puzzling *2024-06-13, version 1.5* If you enjoy escape rooms, you’ll love the subtle puzzles included in this game. Each requires your attention and creative thinking but none are unfair and all of the clues are presented to you as you go. This game is like a story book that has come to life and is taking you for a ride. The story is interesting and compelling enough to keep you going even when you may want to give up on a puzzle. The artistic and musical direction is too notch. You’ve never played a game like this. ### 5/5 — A breakthrough work of Dig Lit *2024-06-07, version 1.5* Still holds up. ### 5/5 — Innovativ *2024-06-01* Kein Einheitsbrei. Gut. ### 5/5 — PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD *2023-09-19, version 1.5* Please make another one, or two, or a hundred. This is one of my top top games --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
