### 4/5 — Awesome

*2026-06-17, version 1.1.5*

I really liked the game. Most of it was solving one room at a time.  I hate it when you have to go through a dozen rooms and you have to find things throughout all the rooms.  This one you mostly solved one room at a time.  The only complaint I have were some of the puzzles.  Some of them should’ve had some kind of explanation on how to solve them.  And there was two or three that were almost impossible to solve. But other than that, I really enjoyed it.

ミニゲームの説明が無い時点でただのクソゲー
遊んでやっただけありがたいと思え

### 1/5 — Too many rooms open at once

*2026-03-03, version 1.1.5*

There are too many rooms open at once leave you forgetting leaving and generally just end up lucky if you stumble into the right area or the right room pain in my butt but that is very good .

### 1/5 — Good

### 1/5 — Too hard

*2025-09-14, version 1.1.5*

The game is too hard. Many of the puzzles do not even have an explanation.

### 1/5 — No

*2025-08-11, version 1.1.5*

No, I don’t like the game. Every 3 moves you ask me that. So here it is: NO, NO and NO.

### 1/5 — Don’t Purchase hints

*2025-06-27, version 1.1.5*

Finally decided to purchase hints at $14.99. Game was over shortly after and now my balance of hints have disappeared. Rip off!

### 1/5 — Game is good but some puzzles are impossible ( I gave up the game at the werewolf puzzle )

*2025-03-23, version 1.1.4*

Some of the puzzles are impossible to solve because they are based on luck rather than thoughtfullness which made me delete the app after

### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel

*2026-06-16*

Aber es ist schade, dass man die gefundenen Gegenstände nicht vergrößern kann. Ich kann manchmal nicht erkennen um was es sich handelt. Und das macht es schwierig.
