### 2/5 — Not like the other games

*2019-06-20*

A bunch of static one-screen puzzles with heaps of annoying plot-related text interspersed between them... very different to the other adventure games where you get to explore an environment, find objects, solve practical problems etc not just solve puzzles on a static screen. Feel disappointed and a bit cheated that I paid for this on the basis of their other games when it isn’t really the same experience at all.

### 3/5 — Disappointing - Not like the earlier games

*2017-03-13, version 1.1*

I was expecting another more adventure based point and click like the other ones - where you had to look around, use object and solve puzzles. This one you just open doors, do a quick puzzle, and open another door. I'm kind of bored already and even though it was $3 annoyed that I spent the money expecting something different.

### 4/5 — It's fine

*2017-03-06, version 1.1*

Me personally don't like such door opening puzzles a lot, but still playing was fun

### 2/5 — Great developer, terrible game.

*2017-03-04, version 1.1*

On the one hand, straight up puzzles, no hidden objects. On the other hand, no map, completely linear movement and self-contained rooms. Also, precious little plot. Really a disappointment from this developer. Some of the puzzles are good, some are lame, some don't work because of the controls (vault puzzle in the casino room, I'm looking at you.) 

By far the oddest feature of the app is the abrupt close of any solved puzzle- you finish a puzzle and it instantly vanishes, which isn't good gameplay. Most games allow you to step back and leave the room of your own volition. It's as if they never played a traditional point and click, which is bewildering since they've BUILT other ones. 

This one should have been held in beta longer and some UX research done.

### 4/5 — Good escape game

*2017-03-04, version 1.1*

There is not much dynamics in this game. But I like to play it on the way to work or home. It relaxes and at the same time helps to become more attentive. This game game can become boring if you play it too long.

### 4/5 — Such a game!

*2017-03-03, version 1.1*

I'm really in love with this app. It was created with the atmosphere of real castle thriller. Maybe it's just because I'm really emotional and I try to connect the app with the books I love, but I think it is worth it's money and time

### 4/5 — A nice thing to do

*2017-03-01, version 1.1*

I like playing puzzle games and quests. That’s why this vivid app is one of my favorites. I can spend hours playing this nice and extremely interesting game with pleasant music and sound effects. It helps me to relax and escape from reality.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-02-28, version 1.1*

What a game! So superior graphics in combination with very well chosen kinda mysterious sounds and music make this game so atmospheric. Just brilliant for all, who likes point & click games!

### 4/5 — Well done

*2017-02-28, version 1.1*

A very catchy and mysterious point clicker game. It is good but unfortunately now i have no time to play such long-playing games constantly. But i hope some day i will walk through it all.

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2017-02-28, version 1.1*

I love this game. Very beautiful graphics, interface. The levels are very interesting, I can't stop play this game!

### 5/5 — Addicting game!

*2017-02-24, version 1.1*

I like "escape the room" games, this one is much better. Every level is unique and has its own story. It makes you think.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2017-02-21, version 1.1*

This is a great game. The puzzles made me think but they were not impossible to solve. Everything was very logical. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2017-02-20, version 1.1*

Good game! One of the best ios games in this genre. It’s worth the money that asked for it. All fans of such games will exactly like it!

### 1/5 — Not a point and click

*2019-10-20*

Even though the text accompanying this game mentions point and click, this game has no point and click elements. It is just puzzle after puzzle after puzzle. Disappointing and boring.

### 1/5 — So disappointing!

*2017-08-21*

I wish I'd read the other reviews before purchasing this! The developer's other apps are amazing, but this one is just a series of mediocre mini games. A complete waste of money. ☹️

### 1/5 — Tedious, boring, poor programming

*2017-05-26, version 1.1*

It's just a series really basic puzzles with a bunch of pointless, non-interactive narrative in between. Not the least bit engaging, and the only puzzles that are "challenging" are the ones that don't function properly (pieces that are supposed to move and don't).

### 1/5 — Overall don't bother

*2017-03-14*

Played and enjoyed Haunted Hollow 1 & 2. Thought this would be similar; it's not. There's no exploration just a succession of puzzles which quickly becomes boring. There is an attempt at a storyline and therefore a reason for these puzzles but it's not enough to maintain interest so I gave up. Finally you are given the character of a princess rather than an anonymous third person so not one for the boys. Overall don't bother.

### 1/5 — Horrible Game!

*2017-03-12, version 1.1*

I thought this game would be like Mystery of Haunted Hollows but it's nothing like it. It has no map layout, no hidden objects, no walk through, it's just a bunch of puzzles which you can skip at anytime and move on. I didn't even bother playing it. This is the type of game that should be free. I want a refund. If there was an option to give a zero I would.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-03-11*

Not worth 99p, nevermind £2.99!

### 1/5 — Hints stink

*2017-03-02, version 1.1*

I gave it 1 star because 0 was not an option. I barely managed to put up with the lengthy monologues and the same door for each scene, but then there is the hint system. The hint system hits a brick wall and the game's enjoyment disappears on the "bells" puzzle. At that point I deleted the game rather than "skip" the puzzle. I mean really, was this stuff written by a foreigner pretending to understand English?

After purchasing their other games and thoroughly enjoying them I found this one to be a bomb. Wasted money......

### 1/5 — Yuck

*2017-02-18*

I can't believe someone had the gall to string together a bunch of old puzzles that are too easy to solve and call it an adventure game. Just to add insult to injury there is a cheesy story added to the mix. Do not pay for this game, it's a rip off!

### 1/5 — Am I missing something?

*2017-02-17*

I like this developer's other games a lot, but this one is hardly a 'point and click' adventure game.  It is nothing more than a series of mini puzzles which are far too easy to solve.  The player is automatically presented with the clues - no need to search for them.  This seems like a rush job to put SOMETHING out and not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Sad, sad, sad

*2017-02-16, version 1.1*

This game is boring. One puzzle after another. To make it worse, you keep going through the same door after each one even though you are supposed to be going from room to room. Haunted Hollow is one of the best puzzle games out there and I recommend everyone buy it. Not so with this one. There is no area to explore. No going from a car then to a house to solve that puzzle then take that object to a treehouse. Nope. Just going through the same door to yet another puzzle. Very lazy on the developer's part if you ask me. Avoid this one. Not one of their best for sure.

### 5/5 — Stunning story with twisted puzzles!

*2017-03-07, version 1.1*

The plot, the graphics, music and puzzles create an incredible, adventurous and mysterious atmosphere! It is so easy to follow the game and so hard to go back to reality after playing it, just hope there will be a sequel, cause this genre of games is so much better than angry birds kind of games!

### 5/5 — A real pearl

*2017-03-06, version 1.1*

I enjoyed solving puzzles, revealing mysteries and following the storyline. Sometimes it was tricky but always satisfactory. Would like to check more of their games.

### 5/5 — NICE!

*2017-03-05, version 1.1*

I had liked this application. It is very interesting to solve puzzles. I very much like this genre of point & click. Also there is a good story line. A game costs the money.

### 5/5 — Brilliant game

*2017-03-05, version 1.1*

The gameplay is so addictive, I just can't put my iphone down!!

### 5/5 — You won't regret if you buy it

*2017-03-05, version 1.1*

Very interesting game. I love the graphic, music is really beautiful and scenario is wonderful. For all fans of puzzles and historic atmosphere.

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2017-03-02, version 1.1*

This is very nicely done point and click game. It is very intriguing and pretty challenging, the pazzles, the story line and the graphics are great. I really enjoyed playing it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2017-03-02, version 1.1*

It's a very interesting escape game. It has wonderful graphics and music. The game's plot is very interesting . It's a good game for people of all ages. It helps to develop imagination.

### 5/5 — Very Nice

*2017-03-02, version 1.1*

I'm incredibly love these game, so beautiful graphics, great gameplay in which I could spend hours if the game was not so short, but that it does not spoil it. I really hope for a sequel, or something like that!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2017-03-02, version 1.1*

Great value. Ton of puzzles in varying degrees of difficulty. It’s also cool that the game makes you find the clue that you need before it allows you to cheat your way through the game—but it doesn’t do this in an obnoxious way. Also, you don’t have to tediously go to one part of the game to retrieve objects from all over in places you’ve already been a million times. Attractive scenes. Loved it!

### 5/5 — Like this game

*2017-03-01, version 1.1*

Modern interface and interesting levels make it better than similar games. Most of all I like to open secret rooms it's so exciting.
