Where ya have to collect a bunch of nonsensical items or shapes to plug into a bunch of nonsensical holes or puzzles, which then opens up another nonsensical floor or level. Until you've eventually “solved” everything. It’s fine, for the type of game that it is. Which is pretty dull tbh. Gotta review it to ‘get the walkthru,’ so yeah. Here ya go. ### 4/5 — At least I’m not breezing through 😂 *2021-07-26, version 3.0* I’m quite sure it would be a lot easier if there was anything to tell you what you were doing and looking at but as it is, I keep getting stuck. Not a bad thing, I enjoy a challenge, it’s good for the brain to get worked sometimes. ### 3/5 — Okay *2021-07-17, version 3.0* I do like this game ### 3/5 — We will see *2021-07-02, version 3.0* Just started ### 3/5 — Annoying game *2021-04-13, version 3.0* Annoying game and I got so many Items but couldn’t find anything to use them for? Idk kinda a annoying game and expected more from it but a fun game if I’m bored and have anything to do! But still really boring and a waste of time. That’s why I’m giving it 3 ⭐️. ### 3/5 — Escape *2021-03-23, version 3.0* Would really love to see some instructions, not just a walkthrough. ### 4/5 — Tough game *2021-02-11, version 3.0* Very challenging ### 4/5 — Rating *2020-11-01, version 3.0* I am rating this to get my walkthrough. ### 3/5 — Review *2020-09-24, version 3.0* I am writing this because I have to to get the walkthrough ### 3/5 — Hidden hints *2020-07-08, version 3.0* I didn’t get very far into this game before needing some help. It looks good, but I’ll know more if I can get further along. And it did not save my progress. This may be an older game and maybe they have gotten better. ### 4/5 — Aweaome *2020-06-01, version 3.0* Good puzzle can be tricky ### 4/5 — Fascinating *2020-05-16, version 3.0* The graphics are a bit basic, but the controls are pretty simple. There’s not much explanation on what to do, but it’s not too complicated. ### 3/5 — Too soon to tell *2020-03-03, version 3.0* Really too soon to give a honest review. Does not tell you how things work. Hopefully it gets better. ### 4/5 — Work it *2020-02-23, version 3.0* It’s Challenging ### 5/5 — Escape mystery castle *2020-02-15, version 3.0* Love this it’s a challenge ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not much fun *2022-08-13, version 3.0* No instructions just a rate for walkthrough offer. ### 1/5 — Dumb *2020-09-27, version 3.0* I have to rate the game before getting a walk through? No idea what’s going on ### 1/5 — Hard *2020-02-07, version 3.0* Too hard to enjoy ### 1/5 — Escape castle *2019-10-21, version 3.0* Just started need to have more time to play before a review ### 1/5 — The arrows won't give you the book *2016-11-19, version 2.2* They need to fix the bug ### 2/5 — Weird *2022-07-19, version 3.0* It’s Weird & no explanation ### 2/5 — Tired of full walkthroughs *2021-07-27, version 3.0* This is my like 3rd review so I can just get a clue. ### 2/5 — Just started *2021-03-30, version 3.0* Already? ### 2/5 — Too early *2019-07-11, version 3.0* It’s way too early for me write a review as I have only collected a few items and am already stuck. I can give 2 stars for now. Hopefully I can give a better rating when I finish. ### 2/5 — Bug doesn't allow you to finish *2016-09-02, version 2.2* As others have stated in reviews dating back over a year, the puzzle with colors and arrows doesn't work and thus you cannot continue the game. Even checked the walk through several times to be sure my answer was correct. FIX THE BUG! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exciting and Challenging *2022-06-06, version 3.0* This game brought me right down to the hour mark! ### 5/5 — I used to play this when I was 4 *2022-04-09, version 3.0* I used to play this when I was 4 and I loved it, years later and I still love it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-10-07, version 3.0* Fun to play ### 5/5 — So far so good *2021-06-23, version 3.0* Just started but seems good ### 5/5 — Ok game *2021-05-25, version 3.0* A bit of a challnge ### 5/5 — Challenging *2021-05-25, version 3.0* Challenge but fun ### 5/5 — Might be good *2020-08-30, version 3.0* But since I’ve hardly begun the game I don’t know.
