### 5/5 — 楽しかった

*2026-02-06*

すごく親切な作りでポイント表示が出来る仕様が初心者にはありがたかったです
ヒントの項目を見る事が軽いヒントになるのでそれも助かりました！
役割を終えたポイントがタッチしても反応しなくなるのもありがたかったです♪
そのおかげでボリュームはある作りなのに最後まで楽しくプレイ出来ました。
ちゃんと外へ出るまでの手順？も楽しかったし、長かっただけに外へ出た開放感が嬉しかったw

**Developer response:** この度はご利用ありがとうございます。
また率直なご意見、ご感想をいただき感謝申し上げます。
皆様の応援の言葉が何よりの励みになります。

### 5/5 — ボリュームたっぷり

*2025-10-08, version 1.1.0*

やっと出れた。
こんなに沢山ヒントを見てもイラつかないゲームは初めて。
あー、すっきり。

### 5/5 — とても長くて広かったけど

*2025-07-24*

解きごたえがあったので、一度だけヒント頼みでクリアできました。あんまり長かったり移動が多いと飽きてしまう方なのですが、終わった謎や場所にはいけないようになってて親切設計、飽きさせない工夫や面白さがありました。次作も楽しみにしています。あ、一つだけ、金のドクロの歯の抜けているところが黒なんですが、透けていた方が良かったと思いました。

**Developer response:** この度はご利用ありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2025-07-04*

理不尽な謎解きはありません。
難易度は少し高めだけど、ノーヒントでクリアできます。
ボリュームもあって楽しめました。
次回作も期待してます。

### 5/5 — 大作！

*2025-06-12*

ボリュームはありますが決して理不尽でも難解でも移動のしにくさもなく
進行上のやりにくさがないのでストレスなく遊べる
世界観からどうしても画面の見にくさは生じるが移動や必要部分は目印が出て必要なくなるとそれが消える親切設計
入力する謎も工夫されていて短調さはない
楽しかった

時計は8時台ではなく7時台では？

### 5/5 — ドクロがやたら出てきますが。

*2025-04-21, version 1.1.0*

あと陰鬱なグラフィックにどうしても生理的な無理を感じる方でなければ、脱出ゲーム好きな方ならばマストでプレイした方が良い。そこまで演出としてホラー味は強くはないので。とても良く練られていてボリュームもあり、万人にオススメできます。

### 5/5 — 大作！

*2025-02-09, version 1.1.0*

無料でこの長編大作いいのかしら。画面が全体的に暗く見にくさはあるものの、ガイドのおかげでスルスル進められます。ガイド、ナイス。ありがたい。正解かどうかがちょっと分かりにくいかなー。解き心地の良い問題ばかりで楽しかったです。メモは消しゴムがあるともっと便利ですね。

### 5/5 — カメラ機能追加

*2025-01-29*

カメラ機能を追加して欲しいです！
一回につき最大10枚まで取れるやつほしい！

**Developer response:** この度はご利用ありがとうございます。
