### 3/5 — Have to purchase to fully enjoy

*2026-08-12, version 1.4.15*

I didn’t read the “fine print” and was enjoying the game when it stopped and I would have to pay to continue. There are so many free games out there that it isn’t worth it to pay to continue

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-02, version 1.4.2*

Great game

### 1/5 — Not f2p

*2026-02-05, version 1.4.2*

You get to play a little bit of this and then you have to pay for the rest. Wil delete until it’s f2p. Apple: you really need to recategorize apps that require an in app purchase

### 4/5 — Adventurous

*2026-01-29, version 1.4.2*

Great game with adventure through the forest .  Good graphics, a map, hints , fun puzzles!  Seems very easy to play .  I probably should have picked the challenging selection but I love the game so far since it doesn’t seem like science fiction It’s a little more real life .  I like that ! Thanks for a good game!

### 1/5 — Wasn’t worth buying.  😭

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.3*

Paid for the game because it was interesting and then not even 3 plays later I finished the game.  It definitely wasn’t worth paying for.

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2024-11-03, version 1.1.3*

This is not only a fun mystery game, but also a beautifully artistic game. In a world full of AI art and AI voices, I knew I had to purchase this game the minute I realize these were real life actors, and the creation of talented visual artists. Having conservation, stewardship, and adorable animals as themes didn’t hurt, either!

### 1/5 — $6.99

*2024-08-31, version 1.1.3*

Can’t get more than a third through the story without paying.

### 1/5 — That’s it?

*2024-06-23, version 1.1.3*

The game isn’t bad but I paid $10 for a game that I finished in a day. Pretty disappointed

### 1/5 — Just be open about this being a tiny taster of a game

*2024-06-21, version 1.1.3*

I would probably be fine with playing something tiny like this if I knew what it would be but it’s misleading to pretend it’s a free game when it’s really almost nothing.

### 5/5 — Amazing long game

*2024-05-18, version 1.1.3*

I work so this took me a week to complete. Just an amazing game. Great art work. Great mini-games. Just a touch of magic, and not demonic. Good storyline. Good bonus game. Good HOPs. Yea, this is one of Friendly Foxes best if just for the length and the immersive gameplay. I also like their Bridge series a lot but I had to write a review for this.
