— The Asylum in Saint-Rémy
— The Solitary Atelier

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2026-05-15, version 2.0.3*

Really nice

### 5/5 — 진짜 너무 좋아요

*2026-05-05*

빈센트 반 고흐 너무 좋아해서 전시회도 많이 다녔었는데 이렇게 테마로 내주시니 너무 감사할 따름 💓 여기 개발자님 모든 탈출게임 다 너무 재밌고 특히 감동을 주는 스토리가 꽤 많이 있어 지루하지 않게 힐링했습니다 😍

### 5/5 — 学びと感動とホラー

*2026-04-21*

Jammsworksさんのファンでいろんな国の脱出ゲームはたくさん制覇したのですが、なんかゴッホぽいもの出てる！と興味本位でダウンロードしました
ゴッホについては画家ということと有名な作品を見たことがあるという程度の知識でしたが、ゲームを進めるにつれてひとつひとつ意味があるかもと思い、途中でゴッホについて調べてからゲームに戻りました
ゴッホについてよく知っている方でしたらより楽しめると思いますし、私みたいに知らなかった人は知るきっかけにもなると思います
こんな人生だったのを知らなくて、ゲームをしながら感動していました
9番の部屋から出るゲームは私的にはちょっとホラー要素があってゾクゾクしましたが、達成できて嬉しかったです
今までの旅行シリーズと全く違う雰囲気で、これはこれですごくよかったので初めてレビューさせていただきました
日本の偉人とかでも作ってほしいです！
今後も楽しみにしてます！

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2026-04-03, version 2.0.3*

I played nearly all of Jammswork games and this is clearly one of the best and with the most heartwarming story

### 1/5 — X rated ads!?!?

*2026-03-26*

I love escape games and this looked interesting. But the last thing I want to see are images of a an undressed woman in explicit poses going across the top and bottom of my screen. This game indicates that it is for ages 4+, but with those kinds of ads, absolutely not. Hopefully this is just some terrible mistake.

### 5/5 — 너무 완벽한 게임

*2026-03-22, version 2.0.3*

이 회사에서 만든 게임 시리즈 새로 나올때마다 하고있는 플레이어에요. 이번 방탈출은 정말 미쳤어요 이렇게 스토리까지 완벽한 방탈출 처음이에요! 특히 제가 좋아하는 화가인 고흐를 주제로 이런 탈출을 기획하다니 믿을 수 없을만큼 너무 재밌었고 엄청 집중해서 플레이했어요! 앞우로도 꾸준히 계속 좋운 게임 내주세요! 제가 유일하게 하는 방탈출 시리즈에요 이 게임! 최고!

### 3/5 — 9番目の部屋の異変が分からない

*2026-02-03*

メインの謎解き自体は脱出ゲームに慣れているならヒントなくクリア出来ると思いますが、ボリュームが少なくて残念。
その後の9番目の部屋からの脱出はかなり時間かかった。
音無しでプレイするタイプなので、数人の方のレビューを見て音有りに変えました。
広告からの音無しバグがあったこともありましたが、気付いたら直っていました。
分かりやすい異変もあれば、間違探しのように記憶を試されるものもあって、そこそこ楽しめましたが、クリア後の全ての異変を探すゲームが全く分かりません。。何十回もやった後でやっと出てきた初めての異変も。しかし、異変を見つけても数が変わらなかったり（自分が異変と思っていたものとは違う異変だった？）そもそも29個も異変ある…？答えも分からずスッキリしないので途中で諦めました。

### 2/5 — So lovely but crashes too much

*2026-01-24*

The art is great, the music is soothing, and the puzzles are interesting… but it has frozen my screen almost 8 times in the past two days. Sometimes the interactive items stop responding, then start flashing. Hasn’t been a great experience unfortunately.

### 5/5 — ゴッホの人生の追体験

*2026-01-22*

ふと目についてなんとなくインストールしてみただけだったのに。
気づいたらゴッホの世界にのみ込まれていて、あっという間に時間が過ぎていたという感覚。

こんなにも感情が強く揺さぶられる脱出ゲーム、他にありません。
もはや脱出ゲームというより一つの小説や映画を見たかのような気持ち。
芸術の知識もない、ゴッホのことも何となくしか知らなかった私でも、作品としてすごく楽しめました。

綺麗で温かみを感じる絵の中で、暗く悲しいシーンやゴッホの苦悩も描写されていて、とても考えさせられます。
今では世界中で彼の作品を知らない人などいないくらい有名な画家、けれど彼が生きている間はどんな思いを抱えて絵を描き続けていたんだろう。
彼にとっての光とは、彼にとっての闇とは、考えても考えても答えには辿りつけないけれど、思いを馳せずにはいられないほど、心が揺さぶられる作品でした。

脱出を進める中でも脱出後のエピローグからも、制作者の方のゴッホへの思い、ゴッホの生きた時間、その中での苦しみや希望、それら全てが痛いほど伝わってきて、胸がギュッと締め付けられました。

彼の人生の一部を一緒に見ているかのようなそんな儚く尊い時間でした。

制作者の方々、こんなにも素晴らしい作品を本当にありがとうございました。

### 5/5 — Phenomenal!!

*2026-01-21*

This is officially my favorite escape game in the apple App Store! It’s absolutely beautiful, every puzzle and corner is done beautifully. Thank you :)
