Las gráficas se ven mal y no está en español

### 3/5 — 그래픽

*2025-11-28, version 2.2.0*

그래픽이깨지는데 개선좀해주세요

### 3/5 — Buggy GUI

*2025-09-23*

Buggy GUI; animated heads and clickable objects are distorted. There are some fun GUI improvements compared to older AM games such as zoom-gestures. Just need to work through some bugs

### 2/5 — Разработчики алло!!!

*2025-04-09, version 2.2.0*

Игра тупит, вместо голов полоски и это за 700 рублей?! Ну такое себе!!!

### 3/5 — Bugs and glitches

*2025-01-09, version 2.2.0*

Loved the game. Would have been five stars if not for the glitches. It took various taps to get a object to work. Many scenes had green glitches everywhere and when my character had to talk to a NPC the person either had the green glitch around their head or the animation made their head come off their body or have another head overlapping them.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2024-11-23*

Really like the game and game play but it has some glitches which sort of ruins the experience, when interacting with NPCs they glitch, in every session of the game.

### 3/5 — Not long

*2024-09-26*

This game is pretty fun but it’s really short and makes you pay like 7 dollars to finish the rest of the already short game and it’s like that for all 3 of the games each. Could of been better want to finish the series but not gunna pay another like 14$ to complete the other two.

### 3/5 — Family graphics

*2023-12-05*

Hi bought this game but the graphics are not what I expected. They overlap and it spoils the game. I thought you needed to know.  The more I play the game the more crap tge graphics are. I paid for the bonus game and I would like a refund!!!!   White

### 2/5 — Has many glitches

*2023-08-05*

The game is fun and challenging but it has way too many glitches. The heads are not connected to the characters, there are strange green glitches that show up at different times, most of the puzzles had to be skipped because the pieces would not engage. I have encountered the same issues with some other games by this developer from the Secret Order Series. I had to completely abandon Secret Order 8 because the game would not let me go further. I wish this developer would correct these issues. I see others have encountered the same problems.

### 3/5 — Some glitches

*2023-07-30*

Cool game, when people talk it shows a glitch-like square around them. Not esthetically pleasing but game seems fine.

### 1/5 — 現在発生中のバグ

*2022-11-13*

思わず笑ってしまい内容が入ってこないくらいのバグが起きてます🤣
登場人物達の顔辺りに緑色のL型の物が出てて顔の部分が小さくなっており、また顔と首より下の部分が切り離されています。
顔は動くので顔と身体の大きさが一致していない変な絵が動いているように見えてとてもじゃないですが、話が入ってきません。
早急に直された方が良いかと思います。

### 1/5 — A lot of glitches

*2022-08-21*

In literally 2 seconds of the game there are glitches everywhere there are green marks all over the screen one charters head was not attached to the body and one character had two faces

### 3/5 — Image glitches

*2022-08-19, version 2.2.0*

Not fun paying $7 for a game that has green animation glitches throughout. Don’t waste your money on a game that requires visual clues for solving

### 2/5 — Grafik Fehler

*2022-07-22, version 2.2.0*

Leider stören die Grafikfehler sehr!!! Dafür dass ich 6,99 gezahlt habe wirklich ein no go!!!

### 3/5 — Just ok

*2022-06-06*

The game itself is fun but the graphics are bad. There are many cutscenes or main playing screens that are pixelated and cause you not to be able to complete the action needed with the hint/skip button.

### 3/5 — Glitches?

*2022-05-15*

Heads of the characters are detached and there is a green grid on the same area , this would be a wonderful game ! Please fix so I can purchase it ! Love all your games !

### 2/5 — Too many glitches

*2022-04-20, version 2.2.0*

Fun game but the glitches makes it hard to see and play the game.

### 4/5 — Macht Spaß und ist super spannend

*2022-04-07, version 2.2.0*

Leider kann man nicht komplett kostenfrei spielen.. gibt es da eine andere Möglichkeit? 7€ ist wirklich teuer..

### 1/5 — バグを直しましょう

*2025-12-20*

まずはそこから

### 1/5 — Ingiocabile

*2025-06-01, version 2.2.0*

Ci sono troppi bug e non è possibile giocare Ormai ho già pagato ed è molto disonesto !

### 1/5 — This game bugs harder than it plays

*2025-05-14*

I don’t know if I downloaded a game or a live-action glitch museum. The graphics? Beautiful. The bugs? Even more impressive. My character got stuck in a tree, fell through the ground, and teleported into the final boss room — all within the first 15 minutes. Speedrun potential? Off the charts (if the game doesn’t crash first).
Quests don’t track, NPCs disappear, and the menus freeze more often than my fridge. Sometimes I just open the app to see what else can go wrong today. It’s like a daily surprise. Honestly, I think the bugs are the main feature. Gameplay feels like a background activity.
Developers, please fix this. Unless the goal was to simulate the chaos of existence — in which case, mission accomplished.

### 1/5 — Not maintained, glitchy

*2025-04-14*

All of the characters are pixelated during dialogue. I emailed and messaged the company directly multiple times and haven’t gotten a reply. Paid $7 for the full version and super disappointed. Hasn’t been updated in 4 years and due to lack of responsiveness I’m assuming there are no plans to.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-03-06, version 2.2.0*

Ci sono molti bug nel gioco, potete risolvere? Ho già pagato… Grazie.

### 1/5 — Graphic Glitch

*2024-05-21*

This game has a major graphic glitch, green blocks everywhere and some characters heads are not on their bodies! Please sort this out! X

### 1/5 — Shame…Not compatible with iPad Air

*2024-02-03*

Unfortunately whilst playing the trial, it became apparent that this requires to be updated for current devices - there are strange green anomalies and an inability to pick up the gift boxes. Surely this should be checked in advance of listing the game, especially at full price?

### 1/5 — ホントにバグ？

*2023-11-05*

ここのゲームアプリとるたびに画面おかしいと思う人の首が切れて画面ではグリーンの逆エル字が出ている課金して最後まで出来るかなぁ？

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2023-06-10, version 2.2.0*

Lets you play enough to be interested, then switches to a pay to play game

### 1/5 — Graphics glitches

*2023-03-21, version 2.2.0*

As other reviews state, too many graphic and sound glitches.

たのしーぃ
パズル全部は自分で解けないけど、

日本語がたまにおかしなとこあるけど、
まぁ、楽しめました
反応が悪い時もあるけど、
そこもなんか楽しめてます
やばいです
中毒性あるこのシリーズ

### 5/5 — Game

### 5/5 — Entertaining game

*2020-12-18*

I like these types of games and was not disappointed with this one, lots of nasties and a good story, nice and long too, though still seem expensive to me!

### 5/5 — Qu’attendez-vous ?

*2020-09-08, version 1.0.2*

Ce jeu d’enquête est l’un des meilleurs auquel j’ai pu jouer jusqu’à maintenant. Il est payant certes... mais il faut bien récompenser les développeurs qui se donnent un mal fou pour nous donner du plaisir. En passant merci à eux ! En plus.. vu la qualité graphique.. cela vaut largement le coup ^^ bon jeu !

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2020-06-11, version 1.0.2*

Love how you have to find out what happens in the story

### 5/5 — Detective

*2020-05-12*

Fantastic game as always.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! :)

### 5/5 — Davvero bello

*2020-05-06, version 1.0.2*

Lo consiglio è avvincente e intrigante

### 5/5 — Completely captivating

*2020-04-20*

Honestly one of the best games I’ve played for a very long time. The graphics are amazing and you can literally lip read what the characters are saying which is amazing. The story line keeps you hooked and wanting more and it makes you gasp physically at some of the dangerous parts. Best detective game out there right now. Perfect distraction for the worlds current events. Well done and thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! :)
