No indication of this. If you touch too quickly it complains, even though you have to touch all over to find items hidden under unrelated ones. ### 2/5 — It’s not free! *2022-05-05, version 1.0.0* Very disappointed to find that this game was not free. I started off so well. It was fun and engaging but when I had finished the first part I went to bed. Next morning I log on to find its £5.99 to continue. I shall not bother. I’ve spent far too much over the years to fall for that again. (Great game for 30 minutes gets really repetitive and crap once I've paid) If it’s only a free trial, at least respect your customers enough to tell them that. ### 4/5 — ありがたや *2022-03-29, version 1.0.0* 日本語てだけで、字が小さくても、ありぎたや笑　多分、担当者さんの目には止まらないでしょうが、何年も、日本語訳は、更新されてないけど、コストの問題ですか？全部購入するから、是非ご検討ください。 ### 4/5 — Tiny text, but creative and fun *2021-07-10, version 1.0.0* Update to my original review 3 years ago. Well, I purchased the game at full price. I could never find it on sale. I enjoyed this game as much if not more than the first time I played it. It is full of clever hidden object games throughout. The morphing symbol is a great challenge but not impossible tomfind. The story flows well. The mid section has some creepy scenes, but most were easy on the senses. I really can't express enough how fun this game is. If only the text were larger... its almost too tiny to read, thus the deduction of one star. Other than the text size, this creative game is a winner. ### 4/5 — 字は小さい *2021-01-25, version 1.0.0* 他のレビューにもあるとおり、字が小さいのを通り越してます。 でも、ストーリーは良かったですよ。 ### 3/5 — Hard to read *2020-09-29, version 1.0.0* The captions are too small and hard to read. A little dark all round to see what your next step would be. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-08-31, version 1.0.0* Very good game. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2020-08-01, version 1.0.0* I can’t fault this game, it was a good length, the hos were all different, a great map, the puzzles were a good assortment, difficult to find the symbol in each scene but you were able to get them at the end. It is difficult during the lockdown to find a game on sale and there should be more during this difficult time when we need something to pass the time. ### 4/5 — Quite good *2020-07-25, version 1.0.0* Quite good. Not a long game and the bonus game is shorter than most. Good extras. ### 2/5 — Fun, but glitchy *2020-07-16, version 1.0.0* I really like the mystery, but had a real problem getting the objects to interact so I could proceed. I’d hover, move it around, nothing would work. Very frustrating! And puzzles are pretty easy. Can’t Recommend this, unfortunately. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-07-11, version 1.0.0* Excellent ### 2/5 — I wanted to play *2020-07-03, version 1.0.0* I really liked this play this game but all the wording was so very tiny....an I have 20/20 vision !! This looked like a great game I would have like played. Don’t you developers try the games on the iPhone before you release? Rhetorical, I know you do. You can do better. ### 5/5 — Great Graphics *2020-07-02, version 1.0.0* I am enjoying this game. The graphics are fabulous and there’s a real storyline. Games are rather simple and some HOS are pretty dark. Several times I had to use a hint and each time the object I was seeking was impossible to see even after using the hint! A few times the next step I needed to take was difficult to ascertain. This being said - the characters are well rounded and the general atmosphere (Paris) is hard to beat. ### 2/5 — Impossible to play on a phone *2020-07-02, version 1.0.0* The game is good but it’s quite dark and clues and labels are too small to see on an iPhone ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-06-30, version 1.0.0* Great! Can't put it down!! ### 3/5 — Font size too small *2020-06-29, version 1.0.0* Send like it could be a great game but the font size ruins it. I get a headache staring at the screen trying to decipher the itty bitty writing. ### 2/5 — Too dark *2020-06-27, version 1.0.0* Not really adapted for playing on a tablet. Very dark and hidden runes are nearly impossible to find. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tiny graphics give me a headache *2022-02-19, version 1.0.0* So do the puzzles that are nonsensical. ### 1/5 — Donna Brave Paris Strangle *2020-08-10, version 1.0.0* this game has an annoying sound of dogs barking the volume will not totally mute without making a sound as if the volume will not turn off . T he game was not enjoyable due to the background noise Buyer Beware ### 1/5 — Donna Brave Paris strangler *2020-06-26, version 1.0.0* Won’t let me play free trial game. Try to put name in & doesn’t do anything. Playing on an I pad. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother, it NOT a hidden object game. *2020-06-05, version 1.0.0* The wording is too small to read. The pictures are dark and hard to see. I cant find the logo in most pictures because it’s too dark. Call this a puzzle game. Not a hidden object game. There are more other puzzles than hidden object screens. And they are dark and make little sense. Sometimes I click on things I know I need and nothing happens. The hint clicks on the same place but I still have to tap several times. Frustrating. Or, don’t even bother. I will finish this because I paid for it, then delete it. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-05-21, version 1.0.0* Not as good I couldn’t follow the story as the writing is very small to read as result I only gave one star, needs improvement I could no longer keep playing I paid full price I want my money back ### 1/5 — OMG THAT BARKING DOG!! *2019-05-07, version 1.0.0* I have the environment sounds ALL the way down in the settings, but once I got to a certain point, there was a dog barking CONSTANTLY in the background. Even when I went inside Uncle Andre’s apartment I could still hear it. I’m literally being driven MAD by that sound and now I can’t get it out of my head. Why would you put something so ANNOYING in s game? ### 1/5 — Could be a good game *2018-06-21, version 1.0.0* Unfortunately it’s way to dark to see any objects. ### 1/5 — Bof *2018-06-06, version 1.0.0* Déçu toujours les mêmes scènes pas captivant du tout. Je déconseille. ### 1/5 — Ok story-line, but...... *2018-06-06, version 1.0.0* The scenes are so dark some of the items are impossible to find without a hint. The response time when you click has a very noticeable lag that makes the game-play almost maddening. To date this is the first game I've played (after many years on bigfish) with the lag problem but unfortunately not the first with the dark scenes. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2018-06-05, version 1.0.0* Trying to figure out what your supposed to do with this game is beyond confusing. I only started the game, and got to the newspaper stand. I did most of the things required, but hated every minute of it. Pay for it? Heck, no. Don’t want to even play it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 古き良きパリ *2023-09-18, version 1.0.0* 明朗で分かりやすいストーリーに美しいグラフィック！ この会社は音楽もステキなのでぜひカデンツァシリーズも遊んでね セクシーな渋い刑事👮が可愛くておすすめです ### 5/5 — 👍👍 *2023-02-28, version 1.0.0* This game is excellent. No straining my eyes to see in hidden objects. Some companies must think hidden objects means to blear everything out to where you’ll never find it. Took me awhile to realize I didn’t need to use the hint button so much while doing the hidden objects until I noticed it had hidden hidden. Lol. I don’t mind having to find a key within to open say a drawer, but other companies darken it out so much you couldn’t see the object if you tried. That isn’t fair. You guys have a fair game. I do have to use hint button to find my way around else where in the game because I’m old can’t concentrate like I used to though. Thank you for a very nice game. Now back to the game (in a little while of course ) 😁 ### 5/5 — Great game. *2023-01-23, version 1.0.0* I enjoyed this game very much. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Too little letters. *2023-01-16, version 1.0.0* I can’t read the little letters. I have problem vision. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!! *2022-03-24, version 1.0.0* Love love love this game. A MUST HAVE!!! ### 5/5 — Well done. *2022-03-08, version 1.0.0* I’ve played a lot of HOGs. This one is quite reasonable. The HO panels are clever. The puzzles are sometimes a bit tedious, but you can always skip them. I’m not done yet, but it seems to have decent length. All in all, a nice, leisurely experience. ### 5/5 — Best Mystery Game Ever *2022-01-27, version 1.0.0* I love this game! I would rate it 10 stars, if possible. I have not played a mystery game in about 2 years, because they were either boring or repetitive. This game is so unique and well done that I am totally amazed! Good work, creators!!! ### 5/5 — Enjoying this game *2022-01-01, version 1.0.0* This is the first game of this nature that I have enjoyed in a while. ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-05-16, version 1.0.0* Really good story and interesting puzzles, I really enjoyed this, and no glitches which is a change as so many big fish games have issues. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-02-11, version 1.0.0* All perfect and the price is right! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
