### 1/5 — Don’t play if you have a phobia of certain bugs

*2022-09-08*

There were huge spiders in the second room - I paid to play this game. There should be a warning - many people around the world have arachnophobia. Thanks

### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-08-07*

Forest level is broken, I somehow made it outside of the paths and now just have endless options in all directions. Going to ask for a refund

### 3/5 — Love this game but something is wrong

*2022-07-28*

I’ve been playing the games on my Como for sometime now and decided to purchase for my phone. I click on things on the screen and it won’t budge. I’m replaying the games I had on my computer so I know what needs to be click but it won’t let me click anything on my phone! :( hope this gets fix ! Won’t be able to keep playing with out the click working

### 1/5 — Freezes up iPad pro11 and iphone7

*2022-07-12*

I really was enjoying this game, but early on it froze. Have uninstalled and installed only to get a little bit further along in the game before freezing again. Cant get past where I need to collect skeleton key behind heart in cross. Such a shame as I think I would love this game. So only 1 star unless it can be fixed.
Have emailed developer.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2022-07-01*

I love the FH games. The puzzles are interesting but manageable, and the story of FH is absorbing. I had previously played the free versions of Puppeteer, Surgery etc. but I found plenty of new gameplay in First Steps. And who can complain about paying £1.79 for that? Half the price of a coffee? And I’m proud to say that I persevered with the marble challenge, which was devilishly difficult! Can’t wait for the next Tales instalment! Any chance of a Disillusion 2? 🤞

### 1/5 — I want a refund

*2022-05-26*

I love forgotten hill but this game is the same as one of their previous games called fall. They just changed the graphics but the puzzles and rooms are the exact game. That’s really lame when you are asking people to pay for the game.

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2022-02-08*

I loved this game.  Perfectly challenging enough. The game is very long almost like five games in one!

### 5/5 — My favorite Forgotten Hill yet

*2021-11-12*

Twice as long as I expected it to be, with interesting puzzles and the perfect amount of creepiness and spookiness.

### 2/5 — Не открывается приложение

*2021-11-01*

А я купила за 179р :(
2 звёзды за то что другие игры норм

**Developer response:** Hello, we've fixed the issue and the app now should work on all devices. Could you please update and try again? Thanks for your patience!

### 5/5 — Wunderbar

*2021-10-02*

Ich bin einfach immer wieder begeistert, überrascht, amüsiert über diesen Einfallsreichtum, der so aus diesem ganzen Spiele-Schrott herausragt. Ihr macht wirklich etwas Besonderes und ich freue mich jetzt schon auf Euer nächstes Spiel, das hoffentlich nicht allzu lange auf sich warten lässt, herzlichen Dank für Eure tolle Arbeit und viele, viele Stunden Spielspass
