### 4/5 — Quite enjoyable

*2019-03-23, version 1.3*

though not particularly intuitive, especially at the beginning.  The first item needed to progress was - at least for me - pretty well camouflaged.  Once I got going the game really moved along.  Puzzles not terribly difficult, and action kept me interested. I’ll no doubt check Dr. Stanley 2 before long?

### 4/5 — Finally got thru to the end

*2014-12-28, version 1.2*

I got messed up somewhere the first time so I started over and got to the end. It was actually a pretty good game. I'm glad I got to see the ending. I tried to follow an incorrect Walkthrough the first time.

### 4/5 — Nice tiny game!

*2013-03-03, version 1.1*

### 4/5 — Pretty good!

### 5/5 — To james Li

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-02-24, version 1.1*

This game is amazing! It took me an hour to finish, and I want more! I'm sooooooo getting the second one!

### 3/5 — Easy game

*2013-02-24, version 1.1*

This game is easy. I've just finished it in about 10 minute. A little bit thrilled but will be less if u turn off the sound. I'll give some hint for u if u like:
-tap the car outside, somewhere under it to get the hook
-tap the arrow to move to the tree
-tap the top of the tree,use hook to get the piece of paper, use the paper get the password to enter the door next to the car.
-inside u just tap any door to open (if it opened) and try to find the key to open other doors (pay atention on corners,edges of objects), there 7 with colors and 1 silver key. 
-remember to pick some strange object on the floor or on table,if something useful the game will zoom in it and still zoom in until u done using them. (Try lighter for candle,meat,wine,plate for dog, statue,diary,cup and water,wire for phone)
-there's a swich to turn off the light in the room behind orange door,after get the password from diary and put the statue in the hole,use the swich and u will know which color of 7 keys need to put in the hole.
-get the folder to the oldman and use it, get down on the gray door use the wire to use the phone. Then...OMG and try next version if u interested.

### 5/5 — A little bit hard but very interesting & exiting: D

### 1/5 — Scary!

*2013-01-03, version 1.1*

First of all : Francianlove ; you put wine on the steak to make the dog sleepy.  Second of all : unless you want to be scared, don't get this game!  I guess it was sort of good, but at one point in the game, you come upon a dead man on the floor!  It scared me to death!!  I almost jumped out of my skin!  Plus the whole time, there is this creep trying to kill you.  Anyway, the point is that if you are easily scared, then this is not the game for you.

### 1/5 — ?

*2012-07-16, version 1.1*

This game is so tricky!!! How do u even get into the house!! It is like impossible!!

### 1/5 — Ridiculously lame.

*2012-07-12, version 1.1*

I'm sorry, but this is a TOTAL waste of time. 
Why am I here?
Who's house is this?
What's going on?
Why am I trying to find tucked-away, random, obscure, senseless objects - 90% of which are keys?

In a nutshell:
What is my motivation - as a player - to keep tapping on every pixel of screen because the game provides ZERO direction on what I'm supposed to be doing or why. & then Voila! I tapped a certain group of pixels & some random unexplainable senseless thing happened that makes no sense & fills me with even more reason to click my Home button, tap on the App Store & leave this poor yet truthful review. 

Free or not, I recommend you not waste your time. Unless you like tapping around for no reason. If that's the case, then tap around on this page everywhere & then finally tap "Download". You've just experienced everything this game has to offer except that tapping "Download" does exactly as you'd expect.

### 1/5 — VERY SCARY!!!!

*2012-03-10, version 1.1*

Me and my friend started playing this, she was good at games like this, and it scared us into running from it and hiding from the app. This would be a good app for people who aren't scared and surprised easily with disgusting stuff.

### 1/5 — Lost bruh

*2011-06-27, version 1.0*

What do i suppose to do

### 1/5 — Um..........

*2011-06-26, version 1.0*

It's creepy and hard. The music freaks me out so I'll be deleting it now............

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2011-06-26, version 1.0*

This app is not compatible with IPAD. Requires flash.

### 2/5 — Pales in comparison to current titles

*2021-04-13, version 1.3*

When I find myself madly clicking on every screen trying to get something to happen, that's a bad sign.  Just a really poor interface...do I actually have to select "Use item" to really use it?  I might as well be playing interactive fiction.  Navigating through rooms and trying to find exits is equally frustrating.

I'm sorry, after playing Glitch titles and Meridian 157, the payoff here is really not worth it...even with the plot twist at the end.

### 2/5 — Description grammar ..

*2014-03-14, version 1.2*

Fix you're description, you sound like an idiot.

### 2/5 — Hard

*2013-06-23, version 1.1*

No matter what I do I get into the house!!!

### 5/5 — so funny

*2021-08-05, version 1.3*

Spent a whole night playing this game. Sooo enjoyable!

### 5/5 — Great!!! , 💖😊😊😊👍

*2015-03-26, version 1.2*

In general I love most escaping and mystery games that have puzzles and surprises 

I enjoy this amazing app more than most of the other games it's really a unique game 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Happy I found this game

*2015-02-03, version 1.2*

Just the right mix of adventure, story, and suspense. Not hard enough to need a walk through, but still challenging enough to be fun.

### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised!

*2014-12-15, version 1.2*

I've just finished the 1st and 2nd game, so this review applies to both. At first glance, this series is outdated with a few grammar/spelling errors. It may seem tempting prematurely quit or pass on the game altogether.  DON'T pass up on this fantastic game....it's a very good game! So good, that I didn't even drop a star for the graphics and spelling.

The puzzles are generally easy, but I did have to use a walk through once or twice for help. The plot is intriguing, and once you are in the house, the game becomes a lot of fun! The storyline that unfolds is brilliant, and I was thrilled to see the that a sequel (and a 3rd game) was available in the App Store. Get the entire series...you will not regret it!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2013-12-16, version 1.2*

Cute little game! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2013-11-27, version 1.2*

Really enjoyed playing!

### 5/5 — Longer than most escape games

*2013-11-24, version 1.2*

This is a good escape game and is definitely longer than most escape the room games

### 5/5 — Marissa

*2013-06-20, version 1.1*

I have 2 keys what  room dose it go to.

### 5/5 — How???

*2013-06-14, version 1.1*

How can u unlock the inside doors

### 5/5 — Folder

*2013-04-13, version 1.1*

The folder located in the bathroom u must Examine the wall and put the statue in the right place and turn off the light in order to arrange the keys in the wall
