Great Story!

I love the GameHouse games with the really in-depth story like this one. Looking forward to playing the 2nd in the series.

Love this one…

The story line was great!!! The next one is good too, but for some reason I enjoyed this one more. Would love to see more of this saga! Thank you for all your hard work creating this game. It’s so hard to find enjoyable time management games like this.

Better than expected

I downloaded it cause I haven’t any decent looking time management games since the og Diner Dash. Was pleasantly surprised to find not only classic time management gameplay, but a captivating story with lovable characters and surprisingly dark and unexpected plots. Admittedly, I unknowingly played the Atlantis sequel first and once done, I immediately downloaded the first story. It’s not too difficult but you may have to replay a level or two to 100% the game. If you’re looking for a hidden gem of a game that you can play from start to finish in a few hours (with ads of course) then this is it. I’m looking forward to playing their other titles. Good or bad. Well done

So close

Overall, this game was good but the story line failed horribly. The boyfriend steals her work and published it under his name. He then convinces her it was for her good bc it would earn money for her next expedition. And she then falls in love with him and they date. Fail. It promotes abusive relationships, academic dishonesty, and makes her look like a fool. Not ok for 2023. It’s an easy dialogue fix.
Lots of plot lose ends. Disappointed as this is in the final few chapters.

Boring

I used to love gamehouse games. I keep hoping they will make more good ones but this is definitely not it. The gameplay is boring and repetitive, not challenging in any way. On top of that, the story was so idiotic it made my head hurt. Deleted.

Limited replay value

Fun game but like others by this developer and in this genre, it has issues with the trophies, once you unlock everything you struggle to finish all the trophies and the trophies are not all straightforward, good time waster but the trophies need more explanation as to how they are unlocked not some cryptic clue that answers nothing… also if you manage to contact the Dev’s with questions you will just recieve silence.. just play once and delete.. no replay value.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We'll take it into consideration when making improvements to the game.

Loved it!

Such a fun game, enjoyed every minute of it. Can’t wait for part 2!

Big fish

I love it

Really enjoyable

Really enjoyed this game. It was fun & had a good storyline. Also liked that if you didn’t want to subscribe you just had the ads before the levels.

Very fun

Enjoyed meeting this new cast of characters, with interesting subject matter and fun storyline

Response from developer

Thank you for the awesome review!!! Do share the game on your social media pages as well.

Cant play

Started out great. Interesting storyline. Until you get to level six. You try to click on it and it tells you to restart the app, you restart the app and you can't click on it anymore. So the first five levels were good, but can't tell you anything about any of the levels after.Had to delete the game. Should be because it wanted me to purchase something at that point. Don't waste your time.

Great game. It’s about you guys created something new from gamehouse. Please if you can create more sally. Angela,Emily games as well.

More of the same so far

To me this isn’t really anything special. Game House does great story games, or it usually does. And for the most part I do want to stay for the story, but the game play makes it draining. A lot of the levels are way too easy even in hard. Also I was hoping to see some of the techniques from Unsung heroes where the archaeological digs grew throughout the level in response to the player completing successful orders.

I’m not saying it’s bad, I just think it’s average for this developer. I’ve seen some amazing stories out of them, so I’m a little disappointed on how cookie cutter this game is.

The style

GameHouse you did it again!! Please keep this style! Been playing your games since 2010. Please keep it !

THIS is what we want!

I’d given up hope on Gamehouse; the last several game releases have been so poorly made I couldn’t even play them. There’s been a dramatic change in quality and not for the better. I know I’m not alone, so to all the players who feel like me: this is FINALLY another Gamehouse game worth downloading and playing! Please please please more like this! I know I’m also not alone in wishing for more Emily, Angela & Sally spa games. I do enjoy the current episodic Emily cooking game, but I really miss the individual Gamehouse games with interesting storylines. I’d also love sequel games for some of the better ones like The Golden Mask.

Awesome game!

This is a great game! A cute plot and characters with fun levels and locations! One price, no in-app purchases, play the game as many times as you want! I just love these kinds of games, like the old Emily games Gamehouse used to put out. Just difficult enough that you might have to replay a few levels, but the story is what these games are about! Keep making more like this! Love it! (Also no glitches or mistakes of any kind either!)

So Incredibly EASY

I bought the subscription and thought to try this time management game. I have it on DIFFICULT and I’m on level 28 and I’m so bored with it. Three stars is so so easy that I’m going to stop playing it.

I’m really disappointed.

Love it

I absolutely love this game! After a long time this game is what was so great about Gamehouse games. I have all the Emily games and Sally games……actually most of the games. Please keep to this formula. Also another special thing is you buy the game and it’s yours to always play.

Finally!!!

I won’t lie, I’ve been really disappointed with recent Gamehouse releases and was expecting the same from this but I was so glad I was wrong! This game was awesome and reminded me of all the classics like Emily, Dr. Hart, Dr. Cares and Amber Airlines. There’s a charm to them that can’t be replace and this had that charm I was looking for.

Love

I have played these games for years. Lately, I haven’t really enjoyed what’s been released. This game reminds me of why I’m willing to pay to play these. Reminds me of the classic Emily games. Fun game play and great story.
