The puzzles are really challenging and you need a lot of patience to put everything together. You will find yourself going back to the same place as many times and also it is important to keep lots of photographs, otherwise you’ll have no chance! Why not five? The Help facility could be better and it gets a bit tedious going backwards and forwards. It would be much better if you could quickly jump to the places using a map, as they do with other games. The other thing is that it is not easy to remember where the Relate to. I would recommend the photograph recording which room it is in. Perhaps even a link in the photograph to take you to the location, as that would be excellent! Anyway, it’s a great game and highly recommended and I hope the developers are listening, as it only needs a few tweaks to be perfect. ### 3/5 — Spiel sehr gut aber Steuerung eine Katastrophe, manche Dinge funktionieren nicht *2025-12-17* Die Bedienung ist nahezu schlecht, manche Dinge funktionieren nicht Grafik sehr gut leider zu dunkel gehalten, kaum zu erkennen, Fotos am besten mit zweitem Handy machen, integriertes Album kann ein echt aggressiv machen, hat mich mit Hilfe und YouTube 5 Tage beschäftigt. ### 2/5 — Glitch and cannot progress *2024-09-23, version 1.3.7* I am stuck in the cartoon video game. The dialog box doesn’t shut and I can’t give Alice the breakfast ### 5/5 — The best Forever Lost so far *2023-10-21, version 1.3.6* After completing other escape room type games I was looking for a new challenge that be would up there with the best. Forever Lost 1 was good; FL2 was great; and now with FL3 I think we can say that Glitch have made something that rivals the competition. The puzzles are perfectly balanced - there’s plenty of exploring to do and gradually more and more solutions lead to more and more puzzles. The difficulty was perfect for me, with some being pretty straightforward and others that need plenty of pondering before that ‘aha’ moment. I haven’t quite finished yet and there are a couple of things left that still have me stumped - which I love! Great value for money with many hours of gameplay. The graphics are very atmospheric and just a little creepy, but some rooms are quite dark and details are lost if you’re playing in a bright-lit area. I recommend playing in a darkened room with good screen brightness so you don’t miss anything. There are some neat moments along the way, like the game-within-a-game that seems to be a feature of the Forever Lost series, and some fun pop culture references. Dark humour and a mysterious story add to the experience. I’m not sure whether I ever want to find out everything about Alice and Jason, or if I want the story and the game to never end! Please make a FL4 and in the meantime I’m off to finish this one and then check out Glitch’s other offerings. ### 4/5 — Liked the game but could be improved *2023-07-28* This game is better than most escape room games. I’m not sure how I feel about the new navigation compared to the first two, but I’m thankful for the hints and the ability to take photos and reference them in while working on other puzzles. These puzzles are very non linear. There are typically lots of usefully clues if you’re paying attention but I did have a few that were like, what? How am I supposed to know to use a magnifying glass to randomly look for hidden clues in random objects all over the map, like a random boulder that gives me no clue that it’s a special boulder I should be paying attention to? Especially since there are A LOT of places to navigate to, I really don’t want to spend a lot of time just clicking everywhere and trying every tool in my inventory. That being said, I still do enjoy most of the puzzles and this game will last quite a while to complete, and it saves where you left off last. The game a few times seemed to be literally glitched, and I don’t know if that was intentional? When I got to the arcade game I felt like I was stuck on repeat during the game and then I couldn’t get out of and couldn’t solve and after all the work I put into this, I ended up resetting the game. All that said, I kind of liked your first two lost games a little better. They seemed a little more organized, easier to understand and had less problems. But for a few bucks, I still think the game is worth a try if you are into puzzle solving. ### 5/5 — Glitch games *2023-06-20, version 1.3.1* Great game. I am 76 ears old and have played many of your games. Keep them coming y’all are the best. Thanks for the entertainment. ### 4/5 — Insgesamt gut *2023-03-30* Spannende Geschichte, Rätsel lösbar, manchmal knifflig. Die Hints sind nicht zu „verräterisch“, aber eben doch hilfreich. Es gibt aber zu viele Orte, von denen manche nur eine einzige Aktion erfordern bzw. nur ein einziges Item enthalten. Um dieses zu bekommen, muss vorher sehr viel herum gewandert werden, und zwar im Schneckentempo. Es gibt keine Map für schnelle Ortswechsel, für eine bessere Übersicht und als Gedächtnisstütze. Zudem sind die Szenenwechsel extrem langsam und brauchen teilweise drei tabs, um an einen Zielort zu gelangen. Das nervt gewaltig. Trotzdem alles in allem ein gutes Spiel, wenn es auch vom Ablauf her nicht an FL 1 und 2 heranreicht und hier bemüht langatmig programmiert wurde. ### 5/5 — So many layers *2023-01-22, version 1.3.1* This game is so engaging. There’s more to explore, more puzzles, more story, more psychology, and more subtle humor for you to enjoy. Love Forever Lost, Episode 3! ### 5/5 — Not for peole who hate to think *2022-12-24* People who like to have ‚think outside of the box’ mental challenges rejoice! This game series does just that! I dont need a ball when I can use a head. Literalist go play EXiTS instead! Those who can use a pliars as table legs, this game is for you! I am stuck in very first area with different game mechanisms then Episode 2. Thats a bit harder as things arent working when I think they should with circle blocking where I would put item, but no worries because just seeing a tiny bit of walk through will teach me how and I will be fine then. I have Shaken Baby Syndrome, high functioning, and can still solve puzzles. This why I say if you cant do outside of box thinking, then go play a ‚hold my hand please’ game instead because this game is way better than that!!!! I may have brain damage but Ive been playing puzzlers to help heal my brain. I dont need my hand held. Thanks! signed former MENSA who still hates mom but forgave her ### 5/5 — Great a little hard *2022-10-10, version 1.3* Overall very impressive. Love the continuing them and creativity. Having to use the walkthrough more than I like. But that’s better than it being to easy. I’m using the more difficult option. If I play it again I’ll try the less difficult one. I’m curious what the difference is. I like that you can have a photo on the game screen. I don’t like the way the photos are arranged though! Looking forward to #4. ### 5/5 — worth it *2022-10-06, version 1.3* i know $10 might seem like a steep price tag for a mobile game, but for this package it’s a steal. the puzzles are clever and stymying without being illogical or pointlessly roundabout, the story is intriguing and smartly delivered, and the hints are actual hints that don’t just reveal the solution. the third game in particular was so much more expansive than i was expecting it to be, and i appreciated the way old locations remained relevant instead of being “cleared” and never visited again. if i had one complaint, it would be that i missed the inventory/hint interface from game 2. it was a bummer to see game 3 return to the slightly clunkier interface from game 1. ### 5/5 — ITS WORTH THE MONEY *2022-08-05* Best escape game I’ve ever played. The storyline is so well put together and thought out, and it’s genuinely hard. Some parts are even too hard, but it’s an amazing game, I’ve played all parts multiple times! ### 4/5 — Least favorite of the three *2022-06-05, version 1.2.6* Some things about this game annoyed me at first. The new camera interface was awkward, the backward font seemed too precious, the music was overbearing, and one of the first puzzles was misleading… but all that said, by the time game ended, I was past all of that and totally focused on solving the puzzles. It was a fun ending to the trilogy ### 2/5 — Map is way too big *2022-06-02* I really enjoyed Forever Lost Cabin, 1, 2, and granted there were some fun, clever puzzles to the third chapter. The reason I’m only giving it two stars is because the map has well over 20 rooms right of the bat (that’s a generous number) and there were a few puzzles that were definitely a stretch. Ive played many escape room games including all the cube escape and forgotten hill games (all of which I loved). I’ve completed several of them without any hints and I only needed at most two hints for the rest of the games in this series. This one however I needed a hint every 30 minutes, and going back and forth to the other ends of the map was just so time consuming and frustrating. On top of having to remember every little detail in all 20 rooms in my opinion gets to be too much. All and all its ok. I would be a little easier on it if the conclusion to the story which I was really invested in up until this point wasn’t so cheap. ### 5/5 — Sad that it’s all over *2022-04-13, version 1.2.6* Loved this series highly recommend ### 5/5 — Love it! Just one thing *2022-03-06* Amazing game, like every glitch’s game. The only minor thing that bugs me is the transition between each scene. It is very slow compare to episode 1 and 2. It gets a bit frustrating after playing the the first two that were much much faster! ### 5/5 — Satisfying, intriguing and well structured *2022-02-21* Very well designed puzzle games, especially episode 3. The camera mechanic removes a lot of what can make these games tedious. The puzzles are difficult, but (mostly) not infuriating, and the in game hints are great to prod you in the right direction without giving too much away. The plot has a great central mystery, with a satisfying payoff (no spoilers!). Highly recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible Episode *2024-05-17, version 1.3.6* Episodes 1 and 2 were great. Episode 3 is terrible. Everything is way too hard to figure out and the hints are useless. I don’t think I can get through this without using a walk through. ### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar auf IPad mit A1 Chip *2022-08-09* Über den Startbildschirm „Tip anywhere to begin“ bin ich nicht hinausgekommen. Ich werde den Kaufpreis zurückfordern…. ### 1/5 — Loved the first three *2022-03-02, version 1.2.6* But I'm done with this chapter. I can't get past the bullseye spinner, been on it for a week now. Not fun anymore. ### 1/5 — Bug spoils whole game *2020-10-09* A bug at the think outside the box clue prevented me from retrieving the needed piece, leaving me unable to finish the game. Feel like I wasted my time and money completely. I discovered when searching for a solution that this issue has been happening for NUMEROUS years, so feel a bit ripped off that the developers haven’t rectified this and are still charging premiums for it ### 1/5 — Glitch games is an apt name *2020-10-04, version 1.2.3* Twice now the game has crashed. All saved games lost and had to restart from the beginning. ### 1/5 — Game restarts every time it is opened. *2020-07-07, version 1.2.2* If I close the app, and then reopen it, I get the introduction all over again and all my progress is lost I then replayed, found the backup option and saved a backup. I closed the app and again, the introduction played the next time I opened it. (Highly annoying) Then I went to load my backup (yes, I wrote down the time stamp and made sure I had the default backup and the new backup), and alas, the backup I had made was gone. How does one get a refund? This is unplayable without a way to save progress..... ### 1/5 — Français ? *2019-05-01* N’est pas en français! ### 1/5 — You need clues for every step *2019-02-28* 1 was great, 2 was okay. This one was a let down. It’s as though they ran out of ideas. You basically need to rely on the clues or walkthrough for every step. Who thinks to grab an item, move the item to a different location, and then use a different item to manipulate the first item? If the two items were functional items, it would make sense and you may think of it but these were too outlandish. Who thinks to put ripped up wallpaper into a printer, or cut the shovel because you need a stick-like object. It’s like wearing pants as a shirt - I don’t have a clean shirt so I’m going to make do by wearing my pants as a shirt today? Anything and everything goes that is impossible to figure it out. It’s like in episode 2 where you use a doll’s head as a basketball. I don’t have a ball so I’m going to use a doll’s head instead? They’re too vague and a stretch that you would never think of it. It’s like they crammed as many ridiculous tasks because they ran out of ideas. This wasn’t really a puzzle. Nothing is what you would think to do because they’re so far-fetched. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2019-02-19, version 1.1.1* I got this game a few weeks ago and there was an automatic update which was pretty cool. But now I can’t get the mirror back off the cabinet and the levers in the exam room don’t unlock no matter what I do. Help! ### 1/5 — Glitch game is right *2019-01-02, version 1.0* There is a glitch when you go play the Ferris Mueller arcade game. You get stuck in a loop and cannot proceed. It is maddening and unfortunate because the game was a lot of fun up until that point. Screw Allison and her breakfast over and over again!!!!!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-11, version 1.3.7* The puzzles are hard enough to keep you interested but easy enough to avoid frustration and they actually make sense and follow logic. A GREAT puzzle game. ### 5/5 — Great job *2026-04-21, version 1.3.7* All 3 are great ### 5/5 — Brilliant game! *2026-02-17, version 1.3.7* I have spent many happy hours puzzling my way through this game, and its predecessors. I’d highly recommend 1 and 3 (2 has at least one ‘glitch’ which soils it a bit). The ‘world’ is atmospheric, and the puzzles are good - sometimes too hard for me, but help is at hand within the game, and sometimes I needed to check a YouTube play-through. That doesn’t harm the experience. Recommended! ### 5/5 — Not your typical adventure game *2025-12-04, version 1.3.7* I am enjoying the Forever Lost series because the game play isn’t like a typical HOG or quest game. I’m going to see if other Glitch games are available. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2025-09-28* Love Forever lost, great escape room, only thing is I can’t use my items that I have collected. Anyway to fix that? ### 5/5 — Second time round was still fantastic *2025-01-24, version 1.3.7* First time around this series blew me away! I worked hard to forget as much as possible and came back many months later to enjoy it again. I still found it engrossing, plus I love the music. Thanks for a wonderful game series! ### 5/5 — Best clue and puzzle game I’ve ever played. *2024-09-27* FL:3 was definitely harder after 1 and 2 and I really needed those hints. At first it was a little overwhelming with all the areas and rooms but if you slow down and relax and just enjoy the experience it is amazing in concept, storyline, clues, puzzles and loved the music. Love the eerie setting and the entire storyline. My only complaint was there was no rhyme or reason in the 3rd installment to the camera output. I preferred the first two games in this regard. After taking a photo I’d have to go search for it to make a note. Other than that “glitch” truly an amazing game. Sure hope I can find something even close to this quality to play. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-09-08* Played all 3 Forever Lost, and this final one was a perfect end to the series, although I wished it never would. Amazing puzzles, good humour also and yes I screamed at the developers Glitch (the king cards, very funny, give it to the Vikings) Amazing story, immersed in it. And also what I want to add, that Glitch constantly fix any issues with their games, despite the age of them, so you get a flawless experience. I am now going to play Alice’s story. Well done Glitch. Thank you for switching me off from the fast pace of life for a bit. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-03-19, version 1.3.6* Replayed it for a second time and it does not disappoint ### 5/5 — Fantastic conclusion to the trilogy. *2024-02-06* Interesting game with a great story line. It is obvious that this game had a lot of thought and care put into it. There is such a large area to explore and a lot of puzzles. The ending! Although you kinda knew what was coming it was brought together really well. If you have found this game first… definitely go back and play the others! Thank you. I loved this game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
