Brilliant

Perfect escape game. It has everything you need. Just be aware that it is super creepy. The design and story are compelling and clever.

Most unique puzzles I’ve ever seen

Such clever gameplay mechanics! Hard to describe without spoilers, but I’ve been playing adventure/puzzle/escape games for decades, and this had a ton of situations and solutions I’d never seen before. Many of the challenges are interconnected, not just a linear series of separate puzzles based on timeworn templates. The interaction between two realities is key. Be warned, it is a horror game, and although the art is relatively cartoonish, it’s still horror. But it’s worth it for the incredibly engrossing experience.

Fabulous game

This is a fabulous game. I would encourage you to pay the five dollars to unlock the full game. I was shocked how long this game is. Well worth the money, and lots of fun.

We need more puzzle games like this! My brain is happy

So few games around like this . I’ve only just stumbled on this after playing a Rusty Lake game & so glad I did! Great spooky atmosphere, puzzles range from easy to quite tricky. Loads of rooms to search & It’s great to have a hint function although I desperately try to avoid using. A notebook is worth using to note weird objects, symbols etc that might be relevant further along the game. The free play is quite long and NO ADS! but for me it’s definitely worth paying for the full game. These developers should be supported as much as possible - anyone that can think up these sort of games has my full admiration.

Glitchy

Game is cool and I really wanted to love it, but it was so glitchy and was very inconsistent with letting me select things. Things in my inventory, things around the museum, I would have to exit out of the game and refresh it and then it would let me select something. It would only let me select things for a few minutes before glitching again and not letting me click anything or see anything or open anything. :(

Loved this

What a great game, as a big fan of this genre I’m so pleased to have found a new dev that I can really enjoy.

Glitchy

The camera ceases to work after tools such as scissors or hammer has been selected once. Things work sometimes and other time no such luck. If I clear the game it works ok until a triggering event occurs. I tried removing it and reloading. Didn’t help. I find myself pained due to the developer decision to require divulgence of personal information. This makes any further purchases impossible as I object strenuously to data mining with apps.

Excellent work!

Great puzzle games, definitely on the challenging ends (FYI, much tougher than Rusty Lake, more difficult than EscapeCube), but I can attest all puzzles are reasonable! I doesn’t just test your brain but also your courage to explore the space. 5$ is a very good bargain IMO. Highly recommend. For some data points: I believe my play time is > 20 hours. I got stuck and consulted walkthrough once through the entire game play (watching walkthrough because I didn’t see the question mark icon at that point!)

It would be great to have a better hint system support - it works once when I hit the question mark (kinda accidentally) when I was in Flora’s Room, but the icon has no effect towards the end of the game.

Potential bug: “At the last chapter”, the manager says I can grab 3 items, but I could never take more than 2 items.

Loved the lore

All of these games are fantastic. This one is my favorite due to unlocking the history and stories of Forgotten hill. Very creative and extremely creepy.

One of my all time favorites!

If you love games like the Submachine series (unfortunately only PC), Rusty Lake’s Cube Escape series and Agent A, you’ll LOVE this game. The graphics, the game, puzzles and ‘travel’ between worlds.
This one and MEMENTOES are my favorites.
FIRST STEPS (the prequel) was fun, but it incorporates the full version of the 1st 3 games, which I had already played and paid for, so it was kind of boring to do it all over again (I played it 4th) just to play the new parts that connect the 3 games together. The new parts were fun, I just wish I knew I was playing FALL, SURGERY and PUPPETEER all over again.

Help! I paid for this game and

I can’t get it to zoom in on the mechanical owl. The keys is placed but that’s it. Can someone help?

Absolutely Fantastic

All the Forgotten Hill games are very well-made, amazing graphics and sounds, and the puzzles are tricky but not impossible. I bought the full version of Disillusions and it is WELL WORTH the money. Awesome job!

Great but stuck with bug

I love this game, but I am currently stuck in the final level, unable to remove the sun and moon paintings from the wall no matter how much I click on them. I’m so close to the end that I don’t want to re-start everything!

I only played the free part

It was great. Really loved the introduction of the camera to give new perspectives on clues. Thought I had reached my limit and ran out of places to look before finally getting the camera and moving along nicely. Some of these puzzles are tricky as far as knowing what to do but I was able to figure it all out and finish the first (free) part within a few hours. Lots and lots of fun. Not gonna pay the $4.99 for the rest only because I don’t spend money on mobile games. I’ll probably go and download other games from this series/developer.

Really good!

I really enjoyed this game! Sucks that it’s not fully free, but I understand. Not too difficult, but not too easy either. Glad I didn’t have to watch ads when I needed hints.

Excellent, and Long

The Library is the first part of Forgotten Hill Disillusion. You play it for free and decide whether to unlock the rest of Disillusion. I paid the $4.99 for the unlock and it was well worth it. Ads were removed and hints were available for that price. (Note that this is not true of all FH games. I recently downloaded FH Fall, paid $1.99 to get rid of ads, then then discovered that I was still getting long ads when accessing hints. The developer wanted an additional $5.99 to remove the ads from hints! No sale there, and that game was very short to boot.)

Game play here was very long. Some puzzles were obscure, but not impossible. You have to be observant. I liked the fact that, after giving you two hints to help you, the third hint completed the puzzle giving you a skip option. This was very helpful for the kind of puzzles where you are spinning rings, etc. Those drive me crazy and after I’ve been at it a while, I’m happy to throw in the towel. The camera was useful. The storyline was good. All in all, though it’s no House of DaVinci, and not quite as good as Rusty Lake Cube series, this was one of the better games I’ve played in a while.

Buggy a f

While it is a challenging game, at the very end where you use the revolver to kill the guard, it’s not clear whether the revolver is automatically selected so you can shoot or if you have to select it manually and then shoot. I’ve tried it both ways, and neither works. Rather sick of dying repeatedly due to a bug.

So worth getting the full version!!!

I *NEVER* rate anything 5 stars, but this game earned it. I had doubts about unlocking the full version, but the depth was amazing, and the length was just right -not too long, not too short; it didn’t drag, and it didn’t leave me feeling empty. I got a better gameplay experience from this than I have on a lot of higher-cost games.
I’m really finding myself reluctant to give any specific examples or anecdotes to back my review, but it’s because I don’t want to throw any spoilers out there. Like I said, though, this one is 100% worth getting the full/paid version.

All I've been looking for!

I play a lot of escape games and this is the ONLY review I've ever given. I loved it. The main reason is that along your journey you pick-up books with info on characters, species, art, etc. and the beauty is that within each text are a plethora of clues that help you navigate the space and give more life to the story! It is more than "see three colors and find three colored" things. I think colors were only used a few times minimally. You genuinely have to examine what you've got and how each level interacts with the info you e found. The camera feature which allows you to see a "different reality" is quite nice for discovering new clues and it leads you to unexpected places (eventually). Plus, four obvious levels turns into 8 and and a bonus round to play with several bosses you have to outwit.

The only downsides I ran into was that the ? Button, which I assumed would be hints, didn't work so online tutorials got me thru sticky parts. I especially wished there was a way to skip a game you had to play 9 times total (3x each level) to keep going. Alas, the tutorials the developer has on YouTube helped me through that game as its type of logic thinking wasn't my strong suit.

Overall, I had a blast with game and highly recommend it to other escape experts as a genuinely exciting new take that I have been waiting for forever!

Game has a glitch

Every time I use the camera in the room with the plant, the game crashes. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it did not fix the issue and neither did syncing it after reinstalling it. Waste of 5 bucks.
