### 3/5 — Schön gemacht aber…

*2025-12-16, version 1.0.0*

Nach dem Kauf kam eine Scene mit einem Schiff, das man mit einem Pinsel anmalen soll. Da bleibt man stecken. Pinsel gelb, Anleitung konnte man nicht sehen und überspringen ging auch nicht. Kam nicht weiter. Schade ums Geld.

### 5/5 — Great adventure

*2024-09-10, version 1.0.0*

I like these games, logical stories with challenging puzzles.

### 5/5 — Fear for sale: The dusk wander

*2023-07-07, version 1.0.0*

I paid for this game! And went to play it again and it you are charging me again for the game! Not cool when I press restore purchase it will not let me, fix this problem I’m not paying for this game again ridiculous! It a cool game story line graphics and every thing. But I’m not paying again plain and simple!

### 5/5 — Enjoyable & challenging game

*2022-03-26, version 1.0.0*

I’m really enjoying this game, I have played many of these games & this game is complex but rewarding.

### 5/5 — A great game

*2021-08-21, version 1.0.0*

I loved this game, especially at a sale price in these difficult times, have played some of the others in this series. A really good length, a good mixture of puzzles, which were achievable. I loved doing the jigsaws instead of the hidden objects which I preferred. The map was very helpful, I missed some of the collectibles but was unable to get them at the end. Nothing to do in the extras section though. Worth the money in the sale, no problems at all.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2021-07-29, version 1.0.0*

Interesting storyline. The HOPs and puzzles are not the same old same old. I’m finding this to be very enjoyable add a nice change!

### 3/5 — Wanderer

*2021-07-09, version 1.0.0*

Nur 3 Sterne, weil die Spiele zum Teil sehr schlecht erklärt sind. Zwei Sätze mehr würden schon helfen.

### 4/5 — J’aime bien le jeu….

*2021-07-05, version 1.0.0*

Je ne suis pas très avancé mais j’aime bien!

### 5/5 — 😉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍 😷

*2021-04-20, version 1.0.0*

Nice game ,great length of main and bonus..appreciated alternative jigsaw puzzles in HO sections as I don't like the normal boring ones, this was a nice change. Puzzles were varied and the story was good, and sale price helped. I refuse to pay the new inflated prices (£6.99)Big Fish are now charging, none of these games are worth that. 😱 ☹️

### 3/5 — Ok for newbies

*2020-01-09, version 1.0.0*

If your experience level is higher then it will be a slow going, boring game. If your new? Go for it! You should like it!
