Unusual Glitch game w fatal flaw on iOS
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.

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

Completely ridiculous in the best way
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.

So much fun!
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!
Excellent puzzler
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.
Game is bugged
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.

The BEST way to have the flu
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.
Really fun, good puzzles, smart hint system
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.

Glitch are absolutely the best!
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!

LOVE glitch games
spoilers possibly-
i have been a huge fan of glitch games for years now and have bought the whole forever lost series as well as incoherence, great escapes, and now Ferris Mueller's day off. i love seeing forever lost references in your other games and i love the puzzles. anyways about this game, there were a lot of useless items that should not have been pick-up-able because it made my inventory huge and confusing. also i had a few problems with dialogue where i’d click on the person but they didn’t say anything. but overall it was a fun short game :) please make more games that have something to do with forever lost bc i love it ❤️

Ridiculously good
This is perhaps my favourite glitch game because it is so different. The humour alone is hilarious, the puzzles can be tricky but I never needed a hint because they are very logical. The visuals are superb with so much to look at. I’ve played this game so many times as I love everything about it. I honestly don’t know what I would do without Glitch, they make my life that bit better and always give me something exciting to look forward to!

Thanks for the game
It was a insane experience, thanks.
Nice puzzle adventure
Although the art style is a bit primitive, this is a pretty good puzzle adventure. Solving puzzles include some punny wordplay and some lateral thinking but most are not too hard. A built-in hint system helps for the few bizarre puzzles. It took a total of about 8 hours to complete. I enjoyed my play through.

What a great game!
Please make more games!
Superb fun!
A slightly different point and click puzzle game from Glitch but outstanding as always! Loved it!
Great game!!!
Well this game was freaking fantastic! The pop culture references were all very amusing and the game was challenging enough to be fun, but I was able to figure out 99% without peaking at the internet (then felt silly for the thing I did peak on). I highly recommend for anyone who’s a fan of the same stuff I’m a fan of 😆

Very entertaining!
This game was so much fun! I very highly recommend it, and I also recommend paying the $1.99 they ask for half way through the game. Definitely worth it, in my opinion.
I don’t know the last time I enjoyed a game this much! Fun story, easy enough but made me have to stop sometimes and think things through. I really enjoyed the 80’s movie references and puns throughout my quest for golden carrots.
Thank you to Glitch Games-this is your best one yet!

fun little game marred by design issues
spoilers ahead-
while i had a nice time doing the early puzzles, i spent far too long totally stuck in the “free” section without realizing i needed to buy the rest of the game to complete the puzzles I had started; there’s absolutely no progress indicator or warning that you’ve made as much progress as you can in the free area. most of the puzzles were doable on my own, but the last couple were pretty counterintuitively designed. i’ll admit the puns as puzzles were clever even though i didn’t get them without hints, but the heist map and the bear suit uses made absolutely no sense.
the low rating is for the unplayable ending. i was able to get the red safe key from the manager before finding the leather duster, but now can’t actually use the key to open the safe because my character is demanding i speak to the manager... to get the key. there must be some sort of bug or flawed design here resulting in a catch-22. very frustrating that because i apparently did something out of order without realizing, i can’t reach the ending despite having paid $1.99 to unlock it.

Another Glitch Gem
Fun to play but not easy (for me at least) so made good use of the hints. Wish it had gone on for longer!! Highly recommend.
