### 3/5 — Fear for sale: City of past

*2023-09-27, version 1.0.0*

Great game! I’m frustrated because I paid for this game before! And it said no records found. Then I was charged again. It said already purchased when I unlocked . Then when I pressed okay they you still charged me. Not right greedy not right at all.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-06-11, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed the game from beginning to end.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-06-16, version 1.0.0*

Hard to pick up anything.  Poor graphics.  No instructions.  2.99 is too much to pay for a terrible game.  Don’t waste your money or your time.  Sorry I don’t usually rate any game unless it is terrible and this one is definitely one of the worst I have played out of hundreds.

### 5/5 — Ein sehr gutes Spiel...

*2018-11-07*

...das bei mir einwandfrei lief. Gute Länge, Story ganz okay, schöne Schauplätze. Schneller Wechsel durch Karte und Tipp. Verschiedene Sammel- und Chamäleon-Objekte musste man suchen, bei den WBS konnte man auf Puzzle ausweichen.

### 1/5 — Mal wieder ein Spiel...

*2018-02-22*

... das an einer Stelle nicht mehr weitergeht. Das Spiel hat sich aufgehängt und man kommt weder mit der Karte noch über den Zurück-Pfeil weiter. Es steht .... Bitte dringend beheben. Die Stelle kann ich nicht beschreiben, da ich nicht mehr weiß, welche Aktion ich zuletzt durchgeführt habe. Auf jeden Fall waren die Beweise gegen die böse Frau gerade vollständig.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2016-10-30, version 1.0.0*

Unfortunately, I cannot complete this game. I really enjoy Big Fish Game's hidden object games. This one is a fun one also, until you get to chapter 4 (the school) and you cannot fix the broken jug. You are supposed to glue the pieces of the jug back together. After you apply the glue the game still does not recognize that you have applied it. So this game is a game that cannot be completed. Buy another game.

### 3/5 — More HOPs

*2016-10-17, version 1.0.0*

Less puzzles. Need emphasis on HOPs

### 3/5 — City of the past

*2016-10-10, version 1.0.0*

I was loving this game but objects are hard or unable to pick up, so I am unable to complete game.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2016-10-10, version 1.0.0*

It was a very good game.
My only complaint is the long wait between scene area's. Besides that, it was very good.

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2016-10-06, version 1.0.0*

Very poor quality for Big Fish. Glitches everywhere, interactive items in hidden object scenes are not recognized when you try to pick it up, and game did not save upon exiting. Half way through it shut down and when reopened, made me start again as a new player. Absolute trash and waste of money. Big Fish is getting rather sloppy.
