### 3/5 — No exit ads!

*2026-08-18*

I love your games, all of them.  However, whoever you’ve partnered with on your ad revenue has been planting a TON of no exit button ads.  I have to close down the game immediately when this happens.  Then your hint order is reset.  6 in a row so far.  It makes the experience unenjoyable.

### 1/5 — Injouable. Interface à revoir.

*2026-06-08*

Il ne se passe rien quand on clique sur les objets. Ou plutôt, il se passe quelque chose parfois. Car l'interface du jeu est absolument exécrable et dysfonctionnelle. Ne téléchargez pas ce jeu, il n'est pas jouable en l'état.

### 2/5 — Ужасно

*2026-05-31*

Ваша реклама виснит , играть не возможно просто, приходится по 10 раз перезапускать за минуту. разберитесь со своим гнилым приложением

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-25*

### 1/5 — 広告多すぎる

*2026-01-03*

広告が多すぎてゲームが進められない。日本語に対応していない。残念だ。

### 2/5 — The Ad Nightmare

*2026-01-01*

Scariest thing about games these days are the sheer amount of ads. Detracts from game atmosphere and ability to enjoy the game. I’ve purchased other games by developer but don’t want to pay that much for each one.

### 4/5 — Werbung

*2025-12-17*

Das Spiel ist toll, aber mich nervt die Werbung. Wie kann ich sie ausstellen. Ich finde keine Bezahlversion.

### 1/5 — pussy

*2025-11-15, version 2.2.6*

pussy

### 2/5 — Сложные головоломки

*2025-10-30*

Это игра хорошая. но в какое-то время ужасная, все сложные головоломки меня уже задолбали

### 5/5 — Spooky and engaging!

*2025-08-30*
