### 4/5 — Good

*2021-03-02, version 2.0.3*

I would have given it 5 stars if I could have listened to podcasts or audiobooks while playing. I could turn the sound for the game off but not listen to anything else in my phone.

### 5/5 — Best Adventure game ever!!

*2020-05-29, version 2.0.2*

Glitch games has a fantastic way of creating a creepy atmosphere and yet leaving out the horror element. I found myself getting sucked into my satisfyingly dark surroundings without getting disturbed and spooked! Nothing jumps out at you, there's no screaming, or ghostly sounds. It brilliantly pulls you into the environment in a different way with its dark halls and haunting music. This is a difficult thing to accomplish without the element of surprise. So kudos to Glitch Games! The attention to detail is phenomenal. All the puzzles are done in different ways. Pushing buttons, turning keys, lining up symbols. And there is even a game within the game which I found incredibly clever! All in all, a genius game and there is more where that came from.

### 5/5 — Clever, challenging, and fun

*2020-01-29, version 2.0.2*

I love the Forever Lost series, and this is a good introduction to it (although I recommend playing Alice’s Cabin first to get some backstory and a feel for how these games work).  It’s shorter than the subsequent two games in the series, but no less challenging.  The puzzles fit neatly into the story and are part of the environments, which I find far more interesting than your standard hidden object/slider puzzle/combination lock puzzle games in the genre.  There are plenty of great puzzles in Forever Lost, and I didn’t find any of them to be so frustrating I couldn’t solve them without hints (although putting the game down for a while and coming back with fresh eyes helped). 

The atmosphere is spooky, but it’s obvious that the developers have tongues planted firmly in cheeks, which lightens the mood (and occasionally provides solutions).  I found the SD version to look just fine on both my iPhone and my iPad, and it didn’t hinder gameplay in the least, but I guess if you have the extra $ to spend on HD, why not.  The experience is definitely worth it.

### 1/5 — Why is there an Ad?

*2020-01-09, version 2.0.2*

An ad for something coming up February 2020 pops up during the game between every screen change, and in parts of the game it won’t get off the screen at all. I can’t see around it to play. This is obnoxious and made the game a waste of money.

### 5/5 — Love the whole series

*2019-08-31, version 2.0.2*

I’ve finished all the Forever List series. I love how the mystery unfolds bit by bit as you work through the puzzles. Inventive use of clues. I appreciate the camera feature.

### 5/5 — Big fan - buy ALL the games!

*2019-02-04, version 2.0.0*

ForeverLost is PRECISELY the type of game I was hunting for. Perfect for traveling (planes/trains) with a solid storyline that compels you to solve the puzzles through games 1, 2, and 3. There’s an actual conclusion - amazingly - to tie everything together that inspired you to play the games all over again, now that you ‘know’ the thing. 

Graphics/art/navigation are all great. Puzzles are varying levels of difficulty but worthwhile.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-01-31, version 1.7*

I've played just about every escape game. I live the room series games so thinking this was similar I paid for it.....wrong, this game makes no sense, it was a waste of money

### 4/5 — Fun enough

*2016-04-02, version 1.6*

I was really worried about this game when there was a glitch in the very first puzzle...it said I "completed the puzzle" when I first touched it. And some of the reviews made it sound unplayable. In my case, playing version 1.6 on an iPhone 6s Plus, that was the only major glitch. There were some others, like text appearing half off the screen or "tools" not working quite right, that really should be ironed out since this game has been out for 3+ years, but nothing that made the game too frustrating. I agree with previous reviews that it's weird to have a bunch of unused tools at the end of the game. Beyond that it felt like there were loose ends, but no indication they could be tied up. There were many upsides to this game as well: the puzzles were fun and some were quite innovative. And for the price it is quite a long game. Probably 2+ hours for me (but I am a completionist and kind of slow besides).  Overall, I think the game was definitely worth the $2 I spent, but I don't know if I'll buy the next two sequels. The frequent glitches didn't ruin this game, but they do show a lack of care by the game makers.  Maybe I'll just go play The Room again.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2016-02-29, version 1.6*

I very much enjoyed this game. After reading the reviews I expected it to be super short, but I felt like I got my money's worth. I only gave it 4 instead of 5 because of the sudden ending.

### 3/5 — Great game.

*2016-02-09, version 1.6*

Ok, it isn't The Room franchise, but it is an awesome game. The hint system is a bit wonky (maybe this gets better in the later installments, I just started this series) but the story is intriguing and the graphics are quite good. After completing the game, I had many items left unused which confused me. Am I supposed to go back and figure out what I missed, or is it intentional? The lack of intuitive play is why it's not a 4 or 5 star rating for me.
