### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-09-11*

Now that the game has incorporated the point and click ability it is brilliant, the surroundings and atmosphere are exactly what I’ve been looking for in a game, I feel like I’ve just stepped into an episode of Twin Peaks …… a dream come true for me! When I first got the game moving around was so cumbersome that I gave up but I get to play it properly now, thank you dear devs. The idea of the lonely highway and deserted diner is genius. Also stepping into a painting was such a cool idea. So many creative elements to this game. Sorely underrated adventure game, don’t hesitate to give it a try.

### 4/5 — Needs more

*2024-07-07*

A fantastic game, the only drawback is that it lacked other locations. I would love to see what other places are added in the future, if this is the plan.

### 5/5 — 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺They should add levels because I missed this game.🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

*2024-06-03*

This game is the best. I just think they should like stuff like levels because like I love this game or they should add like different games each year. I love this game. It’s the best I already completed and it hard and I love hard games. I love them so much, my favorite part is like evil moon comes like the eyeball as a moon. I love that part and I hate that they don’t have levels. I thought there was gonna be levels but there’s not gonna be any levels and I am just about that. I think we should add some levels, thank you so much for listening, but you should add more levels where this game is the best. I hope you guys could make more games of this Discolored.

### 1/5 — Controls are very annoying

*2024-04-14*

I wish I could review the story, but instead I am here to say that the controls are clunky to the point that this game is unplayable. After ten minutes of stumbling around a room like my alcoholic uncle after a night out with his mates I gave up.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-02-28*

I like it but its kind of unsettling—for me

### 4/5 — Four stars because…..

*2024-02-25*

I would’ve gave the game a five star review if.. the camera movement was smoother but atleast it doesn’t have anything else bad about it

### 5/5 — amazing

*2023-12-03*

is loved playing this so much. the controls were a bit clunky but adjusting the settings fix that. i really wish there was more!!!!

### 3/5 — Fun but short

*2023-10-13*

I thought it would be more and have more story

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2023-08-26*

Recommande

### 5/5 — it was a fun short game!

*2023-08-19*

I don’t know what people mean by the controls being weird, because they were like every other mobile game to me.

But it was really enjoyable! I hope this gets added to in the future, I was looking forward to going into other paintings and exploring!
