### 5/5 — (:

*2013-03-03, version 1.4*

More challenging than the first one but soo much better!

### 5/5 — Love every minute!!!

*2013-01-24, version 1.4*

I have this game to blame for having me glued to my phones screen! Loves this one, completely blew any expectations out I the water

### 4/5 — Help is here

*2012-12-29, version 1.4*

There is another patient as you probably have seen, look under his pillow and there is a remote, go in the vent and look down at the room, then use the remote, and boom, the doctor is out of Stanley's room

### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised

*2012-11-11, version 1.4*

I have just recently became a fan of escape games and came across this Title. I only downloaded it because it was free and had a great rating; but in all honesty I was prepared to try it, hate it and then delete it. I couldn't have been more wrong! I didn't want to put it down. It was challenging and fun! There are a few less than perfect issues but nothing that deflects from the intriguing nature of the game. The story line was a little confusing and the subtitles were a far cry from correct grammar, but it didn't change the overall aspect of this game or my opinion of it. Hope to see and play many more Dr. Stanley investigation games in the future!!

### 5/5 — Awesome - Beautifully made, Great Story

*2012-06-12, version 1.4*

Loved playing this game.  Well crafted with great story and puzzles that were fun.  Would love to see part 3!

### 5/5 — Help!

*2011-07-18, version 1.4*

I love this game, but can someone please tell me the steps to unlock the safe thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2011-07-14, version 1.4*

I really love the game but everyone keeps talking about a phone and I don't have one and how do you figure out the safe combination it really hard!!! Help!!!

### 5/5 — Stuck!!!!!! Help pls!!!!

*2011-07-02, version 1.4*

I have poisoned the doc and he's still in the bathroom!  Should I have found anything in either bathroom??  I can't get in the room with either doc!  (The one that the police is guarding and the sick dr!!)  I have the wind stone and can't figure out what to do with that either!!!  What do I do????

### 5/5 — Safe cracker

*2011-06-27, version 1.4*

Heres how you do it: turn your phone so the knobs are facing away from u towards the door. In each line of tiles there is a darker one from the rest. Count up from the safe to the door (say the 3rd tile is darker, the number would be 3 etc) start from right to left and you will get what your looking for. Flip your phone to read the knobs right and turn them according to the numbers u got, good luck

### 5/5 — Hard but fun

*2011-06-26, version 1.4*

Omg!2 is much more harder than 1!I was pretty much got struck on everything!!where is the doctor's ID??plz helpppp!! fun game tho

### 5/5 — Ok people

*2011-06-11, version 1.4*

A little help: the aspirin is on the shelf in the stock room ( accessible from hvac vents) you get all the herbs to combine to poison the dr and get his coat read the manual. Gtg more later

### 5/5 — Only for smart people

*2011-06-06, version 1.4*

How do you open the safe?

### 1/5 — GAME DIES when I pick up the DRs COAT

*2024-07-29*

As soon as I drug the Dr and drop down into his office and grab his coat…the screen goes black and the game ends. I’ve played this before, and know this is barely 1/3 into the game…
I’m on an iPad Air 3

### 1/5 — BIG flaw in this game 😡

*2020-10-03, version 1.6*

A game shouldn’t let you do something that makes it impossible to finish the game. And yet that’s exactly what can happen in this one if you don’t make exactly the right choices. To anyone who is reading this - DON’T GO INTO THE LADIES ROOM!! If you do, the nurse won’t talk to you and you won’t get a certain key which you need to complete the game. I’m female and it was totally natural to go into the ladies room. It’s all a bit confusing because earlier walkthroughs and info say that she only gives you a stone, which you don’t need to finish, but that is not the case now. Other walkthroughs show her giving you the key. It appears the game is too old to get any help or input anymore. It looks like my only option is to play over from the beginning or simply delete and abandon the game, but I’ve put a lot of time into it and am pretty far into the game. It’s really too bad because I was enjoying it. I’ve played a lot of games and have never encountered one with such a fatal and disappointing flaw. James Li, if you read this, I’d really appreciate if you could offer some help or maybe an update. I’d be happy to update my review if that happened.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2011-05-30, version 1.3*

Bad translation for English, layouts for rooms is odd and even backwards sometimes, hard to navigate.

Could be good, but some puzzles are far too tedious.  Seriously 30 herbs in the pharmacy, you can't tell what they are unless you tap each one.  Not worth my time.

My bad, has good sound.  Just needs some sanity :)

### 3/5 — Okay😏

*2013-10-30, version 1.5*

It's a little boring

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2013-03-24, version 1.4*

I like how's there different buildings you have to switch between to find clues, solve puzzles. I Really don't like that one little mistake forces you to start over, like picking up something at the wrong time.

### 3/5 — HELPPPP PLEASEEEE SOMEONE

*2012-12-21, version 1.4*

What is the b level and how do get there?? Also how do I get the doctor to leave Stanley's room??? This is way too hard,but the things you mix ae gyl something and aspirin. The aspirin is on the shelf with the morphine just keep tapping until you find it!! Plzz help I need answers!!!!

### 3/5 — What do I do now?

*2011-06-16, version 1.4*

It's a pretty cool game/puzzle
They should give you more direction on what to do though. You pretty much have to just figure it all out your self.  
Question!!!
 What do you do after you poison that dudes coffee and fine the wind stone?

### 3/5 — English translation is mediocre

*2011-05-29, version 1.3*

The game play is ok, the translation to English leaves alot to be desired... Very hard to understand what is being said.

### 4/5 — a classic, with pros and cons because of its age

*2019-03-31, version 1.6*

I understand the "historical significance" of this game and appreciate it but it also has some real problems. Dialogue is pretty bad/badly translated and navigation isn't great (but I've seen a lot worse navigation, too). Playing the first game first might help this one make a bit more sense. Rounded up to 4 stars but 3.5 would be more appropriate. Puzzles are variable; mostly easy but sometimes illogical. There are some issues with lack of intuitive-ness in all areas of the game but those are generally tolerable. The game is a bit short. And why did we pick up all those stones?

### 4/5 — Tough but interesting

*2013-02-26, version 1.4*

Needed hints throughout. The safe - turn phone with safe at bottom. Count up from the safe toward door by finding tiles without a highlight. The row on the right ( next to floor) is the first dial and the left ( next to ceiling) is the last. Might need to brighten phone.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-08-05, version 1.6*

Really love this game

### 5/5 — It’s an A star game!

*2018-09-08, version 1.6*

I loved the story of it! Really! I’m excited for 3! One of the beautiful detective game I ever played.

### 5/5 — One of the best point and click games

*2015-01-15, version 1.5*

I love Dr. Stanley's house. One of the best point and games out. This one seemed kind of shorter than the first one but well worth it.

### 5/5 — Even better than the first game!

*2014-12-15, version 1.5*

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 — All in all, excellent delivery

*2014-12-14, version 1.5*

I stumbled across the Dr. Stanley series by accident. I found episode 2 quite challenging at points (I admit needing a hint for the safe puzzle, though not an explicit solution), but not too difficult if you put some time into it. Navigation can be a bit tricky (it took me a while to discover the kitchen, the arrows confused me a bit). Atmospheric, good soundtrack and effects. All in all, a solid puzzler.

### 5/5 — Great series but the touch sensitivity is poor

*2014-04-28, version 1.5*

.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-11-21, version 1.5*

Amazing! Keep them coming!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-08-06, version 1.4*

I so enjoyed this game, amazing story! It takes a while to figure out some puzzles but once u do it all goes smoothly from there! We want more games like this. Thank you 👍

### 5/5 — Great game

*2013-07-26, version 1.4*

Need help ASAP!!! Just started playing I tried using the remote from the other patients room but its not letting me use it. I already gave the other doctor the poison he is in the bathroom. Help please. What else do I do.

### 5/5 — Help plz

*2013-03-10, version 1.4*

Where is the safe at? I have reached the point where I have to solve the red green and blue laser and I am unable to get past this point
