Вауууу, я очень-очень люблю сюжеты. Тут надо играть по сюжету, и перемещаться во времени!! Это очень круто! Правда головоломки были сложные очень для меня:(( все время в интернете приходилось смотреть..
Но это не отменяет того факта что игра очень крутая!! Всем советую 💞

### 5/5 — Amei

### 3/5 — С ума сойти от диалогов

*2023-03-16*

столько болтовни бесконечной и скучной. Даже не прокрутишь быстро. Желание играть пропало, палец устал тыкать, что бы хоть как то продвинуться вперед.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2022-11-23*

### 5/5 — How good this game is

### 5/5 — Love the look

### 3/5 — K

*2022-05-15*

Ipad version leider sehr verwirrend. Komme an der Stelle in der bar nicht weiter da nicht nicht von Sommer auf Frühling wechseln kann

### 2/5 — Бесконечные нудные диалоги

*2022-05-08*

Я прошла игру и в целом мне она понравилась. Но глава 3 отличается от остальных глав стилем (это уже фэнтази, а не хоррор) и кучей нуднейших и бессмысленных диалогов, которые почти невозможно пропустить. Главу можно было бы пройти за минут 15, но из-за этих диалогов она кажется бесконечной. Сделайте возможность перематывать разговор целиком, а не по одной фразе после того, как она «напечатается» уже наполовину.
