### 3/5 — Unusual Glitch game w fatal flaw on iOS

*2026-06-10*

The other Glitch games are really clever and absorbing, so I gave this spin off a try. It’s a slightly different style of play, which was ok, and a very different art style, but the font made the dialogue hard to read (even at a larger size) and, worst of all, I ran into a bug on iOS that made it impossible to complete a task and move forward in the game. (I collected all the candles, including two bundles in one trip, but when I delivered them, only one bundle registered. Now all the candles are gone but, uh, the shopkeeper doesn’t believe me.) At any rate, an interesting detour from their normal fare, but I’ll stick with the cool spooky deserted locations mysteries.

### 5/5 — Good fun!

*2026-02-25*

I like these Glitch games - they are full of clever puzzles, and humour. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — More

*2025-11-05, version 1.2.4*

More of this please

### 5/5 — Completely ridiculous in the best way

*2025-03-08*

I love point and clicks, especially if they embrace the absurdism and comedy of the classics, and this is a great example of the genre. The puzzles are challenging enough to be engaging while still remaining logical. The progressive hint system is very well implemented to give you just enough without spoiling the fun (excellent accessibility feature!). I adore the integrated camera, which saves you from having to keep notes manually. Super well written (and actually copy edited, which is also good for accessibility!), solid voice acting, good score, unique art style, groan-inducing puns. All the highlights of the best point and click adventures! Glitch is always good, but this is my personal favorite by far.

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2025-01-21*

I love everything by Glitch Games and cannot wait to see what they come up with next. This is (sadly!) the last of their games that I hadn’t yet played. It was lots of fun; the puns, references, and wordplay were great as always. Thanks for another incredibly well done game!

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzler

*2024-02-26, version 1.2.3*

A deliciously silly game, and I’ve never even watched Ferris Bueller.  The game popped up a lot of crash report dialogs but it didn’t affect game progress for me.

### 1/5 — Game is bugged

*2024-01-31*

If you collect to many items once your first inventory wheel and pick up more stuff you won’t be able to use the items until you clear existing items.

Problem as I have ended up with ‘junk’ items or don’t know what to do with it yet and unable to use the useful things I’ve collected. 

Literally stuck from proceeding in the adventure.

### 5/5 — The BEST way to have the flu

*2023-07-02*

I’m still nostalgic for how much fun I had with the flu playing this game last year. Felt horrible, had a great time. Extra extended gameplay from having a head full of cotton wool. Yes, this is an unreliable review. You should still get the game.

### 5/5 — Really fun, good puzzles, smart hint system

*2023-06-03*

Really not much more to say. Solid PnC puzzler. I wish there were more to the game because it’s my speed but there was plenty of gameplay for the cost. Some puzzles were really easy, some a little more obscure. 

Loved the artwork and all 80s references.

### 5/5 — Glitch are absolutely the best!

*2023-03-14*

I have played every point and click escape adventure game I can find on the iOS App Store.  Glitch is the absolute best. Clues make 100% sense, always logical if you take your time and think about them.  I highly recommend Simon and Graham’s newsletter.  I always love hearing about what they have coming next!
