No technical problems. While the movement controls were a bit wonky and the robot and girl kept getting in each other's way, after a while I got used to it and it was entertaining. I had to use some online hints in a few places after getting stuck. ### 4/5 — Нормально. *2023-07-13, version 1.0.8* В целом игра понравилась , атмосфера графика вроде не плохи, но управление на мой взгляд не очень удобноеъ. Нельзя просто взять вещ и перетащить ее надо открыть рюкзак нажать использовать и только потом нажать куда . Плохо что ненужные предметы не исчезают из рюкзака и также в игре есть предметы которые вообще никогда не пригодятся . Это все очень усложняет процесс игры и без того не легкий. Управление героев тоже не всегда удобное . Немного утомляют длинные диалоги в которых надо искать правильные варианты иначе не разгадаете квест. Сами квесты немного скучноватые(иногда из-за сложности и не логичности ) как и история она какая-то пресная. Также непонятно почему в русской версии робот в конце погибает а в английской хэппи энд он оживает, какая-то дискриминация) . В общем на разок пойдет но не больше покупать только со скидкой рублей за 200—300. Ставлю 4 звезды с натяжкой. ### 2/5 — stuck *2023-07-13* i'm in the ship and need batteries, but i don't even have the option to interact with the plastic box. i've been walking in circles trying to get the spot to highlight for about 15 minutes but it goes directly from cardboard box to electric panel. really annoyed that i apparently won't be able to finish this game because of this dumb glitch and/or clunky controls. ### 4/5 — Good Game *2023-04-01* I really enjoyed the graphics and most of the story. I wish Sam could have been repaired. The only problems I had was getting used to the controls and also at times it was difficult to move because either Sam or Tina would be in the way. Overall, I really enjoyed this game. Some of the puzzles were a bit difficult to figure out, but I enjoy the challenge. ### 3/5 — Decent *2023-03-07* Game worked fine for me some minor movement glitches. Story line was great and enjoyable to play. Liked the little secrets to find. The biggest downfall to and why not full stars is movement. Moving the characters was extremely annoying. It was really slowly moving down and anything when caught up on something. Would have much rather just click where I wanted to go. Also minor point and maybe just me but I felt like the map and items bag should have been swapped around. Most item spots in other games are in the bottom left and in this game it’s the map so I constantly through out the entire game kept clicking on the map when I wanted to check my items. Over all though I enjoyed the game. ### 4/5 — Lädt nicht *2023-02-19* Es steht nach dem ersten Start oben im Bild: „Fehler beim herunterladen. Bitte verbinden Sie sich mit dem Internet und starten das Spiel neu“. Die Internetverbindung besteht aber! Was soll das??? Mal sehen ob sich der Support meldet. Nach längerem Suchen habe ich eine Mailadresse gefunden… Ich habe das Gefühl hier abgezockt worden zu sein 😱 Am 14.02.23 hat sich der Support gemeldet, das ein Patch für das Problem vorhanden sei. Es funktioniert tatsächlich und das Spiel startet wieder! Daher erhöhe ich jetzt erstmal auf 4 Sterne. **Developer response:** Hi! Wir haben vor kurzem einen Patch im iOS App Store veröffentlicht, und bereits Nachricht von Spielern erhalten, dass das Spiel jetzt wieder ordnungsgemäß funktioniert, nachdem der Patch aus dem App Store heruntergeladen wurde. Probier es doch mal aus und schau nochmal rein! -cheers ### 3/5 — Please fix *2022-08-07* The control system! The art is great, story looks good so far but it’s a nightmare to do anything in the game because the controls are all over the shop ### 1/5 — I want a refund please ! *2022-06-19* I bought this game yesterday. It doesn’t even get past the loading screen ! I just kicks me every time . I want my money back since I can’t even start the game ! ### 3/5 — Beautiful but clunky and awkward controls *2022-05-26* Unplayable on iPhone X because of heat the game generates. After 5min phone is hot and draining battery like crazy. Not optimised for screen size as well which was a surprise because it’s 2017 phone. At least make it proper 16:9 like many other titles in AppStore. On iPad Pro it looks lovely and runs well. iPad getting pretty warm but not uncomfortable like on iPhone. The biggest problem is awful controls. Why not make interface point and click? Loading times sometimes take over 1min between places. Takes over 2min to start the game. TLDR Play on iPad if you’re patient and avoid iPhone version at all cost until fixed. ### 1/5 — Frechheit kohle für nix! *2022-05-20* Stürzt nach der startsequenz ab... 10€ für nix-echt mehr als schade.. Wie wärs mit nem update ..?????? ### 1/5 — Geht nicht *2022-04-27* Sehr Schade, weiter als das Intro komme ich nicht. Hoffentlich wird das bald behoben ### 1/5 — Wow..the game WILL NoT Go Past Loading screen!!!! *2022-04-07, version 1.0.3* I’m so mad right now I spent ten bucks was excited to play waited a hour for it to download everything then it goes to loading screen and instantly shuts off I uninstalled it tried updates the game is non working and I see tons of other reviews from months ago saying the game is unplayable as well so that means the dev is not updating or even trying to fix this issue therefor he needs to remove this game from the store and stop trying to sell a game that doesn’t work at all! You will save everyone the time of waiting on a refund . Now k have to apply for a refund and wait for my money because you could not fix the issues in the last three months ppl complained that’s not ok at all fix the game or take it down !!!!!! **Developer response:** Hi there! We have just recently released a patch on the iOS App Store, and we already received word from users, that now the game is properly working again, after getting the patch from the App Store. Give it a try! -cheers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not for phone *2025-11-20* Can’t play on my phone, controls are horrible can’t click, can’t see anything ### 1/5 — No Sound Awkward gameplay *2023-07-18* If you have not played this game on pc you will find it a lot more difficult on hard mode than it needs to be. I’m trying to do the things that I know need doing but because the interface isint the best it is difficult to do. When you open you inventory for example. The action you can take on each item is half off the screen. This is a game I really enjoy on pc but it has not crossed over platforms well. ### 1/5 — Won’t download *2023-02-01* Purchased the game but is stuck at the loading screen. Keeps saying there is an error in downloading and connect to the internet, but my internet is fine. And my ipad has space too. Hope they will fix this. **Developer response:** Hi there!

Tried on an iPad Pro 2020 and an iPhone 11. **Developer response:** Hi there! We have just recently released a patch on the iOS App Store, and we already received word from users, that now the game is properly working again, after getting the patch from the App Store. Give it a try! -cheers ### 1/5 — Memory is not the problem!!! *2023-01-31* I first checked to have more than the 3GB RAM that you want to see. Yes iPhone 11 Pro has 4 GB, BUT: it s simply not possible to download the game data. I have for sure no internet problem, but the app tells me to restart the app and connect to the internet. It s simply a bs message - already opened ticket at Apple to get my money back. **Developer response:** Hi there!

Game does not leave start screen. Error message “connect to the web and restart”. I did that a dozen times. No change. 😖 **Developer response:** Hi there! We have just recently released a patch on the iOS App Store, and we already received word from users, that now the game is properly working again, after getting the patch from the App Store. Give it a try! -cheers ### 1/5 — Beware! Ripoff *2022-11-07* The game simply will not download. I have a very good phone and internet. Still I get an error during download. Money down the drain. Just remove this piece of garbage from the App Store. **Developer response:** Hi there! We have just recently released a patch on the iOS App Store, and we already received word from users, that now the game is properly working again, after getting the patch from the App Store. Give it a try! -cheers ### 1/5 — Richiesta rimborso *2022-10-09, version 1.0.3* Il gioco è compatibile con il mio IPhone e sono connessa ad internet ma non si carica chiedendo sempre di connettersi ad internet e far ripartire il gioco Grazie per il rimborso ### 1/5 — Reclamo *2022-09-25, version 1.0.3* Ho scaricato il gioco ma non si carica nonostante il mio iPad sia regolarmente connesso a internet. Non credo dipenda da me. Che fate mi riaccreditate i soldi spesi? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t sleep on this game! *2025-08-14* I’m not sure why this game is rated so low. Maybe it was glitchy in the beginning? But seems they’ve worked the bugs out now. (I apparently reviewed this a year ago?) In my mind, ENCODYA is up there with some of the best iOS games. I think back on it now like an Eyes of Ara or The Witness. It’s a benchmark game that years later, I now compare other games to. ENCOYDA is the PERFECT iOS puzzle-adventure game. The genre of games I like to play are The Room, House of Da Vinci & Glitch games. But I also like point & click games like Tales of Monkey Island, Odysseus Kosmos & Mystery Caper Games. This iOS game is designed like a PlayStation or Xbox game. The amount of time & energy the developer put into creating the world is crazy. If you like games like Elder Scrolls & you haven’t played this one, I’m not sure what you’re doing with your life ;) ### 5/5 — Don’t sleep on this game! *2025-08-08, version 1.0.8* I’m not sure why this game is rated so low. Maybe it was glitchy in the beginning? But seems they’ve worked the bugs worked out. The only issue I’ve found is sometimes Sam is in the way (or Tina) when you’re trying to interact w/ items… (I apparently reviewed this a year ago?

Absolutely loved it, I played on iPhone 13 and it was perfect. One thing to remember if you find the vintage me button and use it, you can push it again to undo the pixel effect ( which I recommend) Treat yourself to an amazing experience and play this game. It’s so good i wish I could have the joy of playing it again for the first time. Thank you to the developers This game deserves awards ### 5/5 — This is a great game *2024-06-06* I’m not sure why this game is rated so low. Maybe it was glitchy initially? But they seem to have the bugs worked out. It’s the perfect adventure game. The only issue I’ve found is sometimes Sam is in the way of Vice verse when you’re trying to interact w/ items… but that’s a simple enough fix. Just move him out of the way. This game has everything. If you like games like Elder Scrolls, it’s a similar. It has an open world concept. You talk to ppl & have to solve a mission before you can get the item from them. I love this game. I like puzzle adventure game. My usual genre is The Room, House of Da Vinci. But I also like games like Tales of Monkey Island, Odysseus Kosmos & Mystery Caper Games (Fleeting J & M, D Cover & Yestertide). This falls in the later category. I’ve almost finished this game & am excited to see what else the developer has made. ### 5/5 — This is a great game *2024-04-28* I’m not sure why this game is rated so low.

Yippee!! This game is beautiful in every way, such imagination has gone into creating this world and it’s inhabitants, you don’t know what you will come across next it’s marvellous, I’ve only found 2 secrets so far and they were brilliant. You do need newer devices because it’s such a huge game, but worth every penny. This game should be rated 5stars it’s criminal that it isn’t, to the reviewer that states it’s corrupted and pixelated, you can turn pixels on and off depending on the look you want 🤪 ### 5/5 — Отзыв *2023-02-16, version 1.0.6* Не знаю чё у ребят пишущих отзывы с мозгами но у меня работает на 2х айпадах. Вы хоть пишите какое устройство а то как в лужу пукаете. На iPad 8 gen с iPadOS 16.2 и iPad mini 5 с 15.7.2 работает. Но фикс 2 дня назад вышел возможно дело в нём. Выглядит прикольно на первый взгляд. По геймплею вроде квест типа Сибири ### 5/5 — Gefällt mir *2022-05-01* Das lange Warten auf Laden Lohn sich, die 4Gb Ladung deutet auf viel Media-Material. Grafik und Atmosphere sind sehr gut. Kombination Schwaches aber intelligentes Kind mit einem mächtigen, aber nicht so intelligentem Roboter finde ich gelungen. Rätsel bzw. Aufgaben sind schwer, aber ich will ja nicht leichtes. Humor und gesellschaftskritische Pointen gefallen mir. (Y) ### 5/5 — Incredible *2022-04-04* I absolutely loved this game. It’s like Ready Player One meets Blade Runner. The story is endearing, the dialogue is clever, and the graphics are stunning. The hidden references were a treat too. I played on an iPhone 12 mini, and some of the controls were glitchy or clunky. But nothing that prevented me from continuing with the game after a bit of fiddling. I do think the controls would be better on a larger device. Definitely worth it if you have the RAM space. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-02-19* I have an iPad Pro. Game is working just fine. Very fun game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
