### 5/5 — It should be 13+

The game is very good but I think it should be for 13+ years old because of the content in the game. But I love the game!

### 5/5 — Amazing job… They storytelling…

*2026-02-04, version 1.4*

Wow, so engaging and beautifully executed. Simple storyline drags you along, give you time to look around ans slow down or speed up. Blended into my reality without effort

### 1/5 — Bro, I Cant Even Get Past The First Bit.

*2025-07-18, version 1.4*

Im Getting Asked To Move My iPhone, Been Doing This For A Few Minutes And Nothing, And No Explanation Of What To Do Or How To Play, Seriously?

Please Fix This Problem Or Im Deleting.

I love the game but it should be apple vision pro compatible so you can play it on that

### 1/5 — How do you play?

*2024-11-07, version 1.4*

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2024-10-26, version 1.4*

Здравствуйте, очень хорошая игра, некоторые сцены как в реале, это игра мне напоминает всякие головоломки где там например шкатулку надо открыть или что-то другое открыть, но в этой игре есть история, дополненая реальность, и много другого. Короче, советою!
Спасибо всем кто это прочитал.

### 5/5 — Absolutely YES!

*2024-05-11, version 1.4*

I never though Apple would make a game this good. Even though I don’t understand the plot and never saw it on Apple TV+ I still really like how you can interact with the objects in the AR. There needs to be a sequel Tim apple..
