### 2/5 — こじつけが過ぎる・ゲームが成立していない

*2026-06-25*

IzumiArtisanの脱出ゲームということで期待をしていました。単純でありながら、人間の盲点をつく仕掛けや謎の作りは他の作品同様に期待を裏切らないものでした。終盤までは。広告を見なければ明かされない重大な前提があり、謎解きゲームとしては破綻しています。


以下、ネタバレを含みます。

瓶のギミックは、広告を見させるためのベイト感が露骨で興醒めしました。アイテムの実寸サイズ（物語世界の）がわからない仕様で、あの結論はないです。しかもこの仕掛けだけ、4回も広告を見ないと答えは見れない仕様になっています。プレーヤーに提示していない前提が広告をみて初めて表示されるのは、謎解きゲームとして破綻しています。

### 4/5 — 部分解密提示太不起眼了

*2026-06-01, version 1.1.2*

例如那个雪茄谜题，很难把雪茄上的白圈联想到按键顺序

### 3/5 — Assez bien

*2026-04-19, version 1.1.2*

Quelques invraisemblances, notamment en ce qui a trait aux proportions, mais bien dans l’ensemble.

### 3/5 — Logical flaw

*2026-04-17, version 1.1.2*

Interesting game with very nice graphics but…

The premise of putting an object that is too heavy to float into a hollow object that can float, so that the heavy object will be carried to the surface is false. The heavy object will still be too heavy and the container will now be too heavy as well, unless the container is large enough for its buoyancy to offset the weight of the heavy object.

### 5/5 — 너무너무 좋았어요!

*2026-03-22*

지금까지 방탈출과는 확실히 다른 방향인게 보이는 디자인이었어요!! 다만 방을 옮겨다닐때 화면전환이 너무 급격해요! 빠르게 검은색이었다가 밝게 돌아오는게 되게 울렁거리더라구요ㅠㅠ 이 것만 부드럽게 바꿔주시면 정말 완벽할 것 같습니다 ㅜㅠㅠ 사랑해요

### 5/5 — Loved it but it’s too short!

*2026-03-07, version 1.1.2*

I hope the developer makes more games like this!

### 3/5 — A real (Normal) Ending

*2026-03-03, version 1.1.2*

Unlike Rime, this ending was satisfyingly normal; however much shorter than Rime.  And the Clue list id different, too.  Unable to see all in a list to provide commentary.

But intuition alone, once more, disappointingly, will not get one thru.  I’d resolved, with this developer I’d just have to use hated hints.  Bur for real.  Who suspects a clue not seen with the naked eye would only be available thru reflection?  

A really nice, while short game.  And the signature style is much appreciated.  And 
I listen, vs. turn off sound, while much more preferring the emotional tones of Rime.

### 5/5 — Good puzzles

*2026-02-15, version 1.1.2*

Good puzzles - some of them needed a bit of thinking about. Not as visually rich as some puzzle games, but then it is free! Bit of a misnomer; I think Courtyard escape would be more accurate, but I did enjoy it. I’ll look forward to trying another game by this developer.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-07, version 1.1.2*

I really loved this game.. these developers made 3 escape room games and i wish they make more of them.. loved it

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-02-02, version 1.1.2*

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-01-24, version 1.1.2*

Thoroughly enjoyed this game! Actually makes you think. Very fun

### 5/5 — Rime에서 개선된 부분이 보여 좋았어요

*2026-01-22*

스토리나 구성은 말할 것도 없이 최고로 깔끔하고 Rime를 깬 감이 있어서 가든은 좀 더 수월하게 클리어했어요 난이도도 딱 적당하다고 생각합니다! 그리고 공략이 맵으로 그려져있는 거랑 메모장 너무 좋아요. 후속작 정말 원합니다... 🫶🫶
(+ 이건 2시간 좀 안 돼서 깬 것 같아요 정말정말 재밌습니다...)

### 5/5 — Joyful but hard

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.2*

It might tempt you to give up or delete the game, but it gets easier once you get to crack the first pieces. I definitely enjoyed this game

### 5/5 — good

*2025-12-30, version 1.1.2*

Good game but too short

### 5/5 — これぞ脱出ゲーム！

*2025-12-28*

もちろんノーヒントクリア出来ます！ ギミックとヒントが繋がっており解けた爽快感も◎ 
最近やったゲームでともかくタップタップタップと意味不明のアイテムを使うと何となく解けて脱出できる系が多くモヤッとしてたので考えて閃いた気持ち良さでいくと大満足のゲームでした。 
まあちょっと物足りない気もしますが総合点は星５で間違いないです！

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-12-27, version 1.1.2*

Felicito al creador, me encanta este tipo de juego, pero nunca he visto una función que pudiera hacer notas dentro del juego, y las pistas son cortas y precisas.

### 5/5 — Cigars Order Review (I do apologize)

*2025-11-04, version 1.1.1*

When I had to use the cigars to put in the code for the padlock for the oil; the cigars were not in the same placement as the hint were, after playing the game the second time I understood. Whoever made this game is definitely impressively smart.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-11-03, version 1.1.1*

Very challenging but logical escape room.

### 4/5 — Nice puzzler

*2025-10-04, version 1.1.1*

Nice graphics and puzzles that are not the usual obvious answers. Had to get a couple of hints and I’m glad the hints were hints not answers or ‘solve the puzzle here’ type hints that I’ve seen in other puzzles. Happy to click on a few ads for a decent free game like this. 
Well done to the devs. 
Yes it a bit short but sometimes that’s all you want to fill a coffee break.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Meh!

*2026-07-02, version 1.1.2*

The game could be interesting but you need to watch the ads too often to get clues and it kills the fun. Also the ads are freezing all the time so it never ends.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work offline

*2025-06-30, version 1.1.1*

Downloaded to play offline, app wouldn’t even open, said no connection.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — Loved the game but…

*2025-06-02, version 1.1.1*

Puzzles are a great challenge but I believe there is a bug in the game.  I’m unable to progress beyond a certain point.  Investor used the hints to determine what to do, but the game doesn’t respond.  This is a MAJOR disappointment!  I’ve deleted the game and will avoid future games made by izumiArtisan.

### 1/5 — Ясно

*2024-12-02*

Ясно

### 1/5 — Ads to solve

*2024-11-04, version 1.1.1*

Not worth the download. Impossible to solve without watching ads

### 1/5 — Nauseating blank screen! 😵‍💫

*2024-09-09, version 1.1.1*

This was the first game I have played from this developer.

Compared to the other game, this game seems to blank the screen every single time you move around the rooms.

The awful headache is unbearable‼️😵‍💫

This constant blanking is clearly a programming mistake that desperately NEEDS to be corrected.

Until that happens, I have deleted this game.

Their other game is MUCH better.

Recommended: Not unless this critical error is corrected‼️⚠️

### 1/5 — I had fun a first

*2024-06-28, version 1.1.1*

It wouldn’t show the iron wood to lift the pebble on the ground!!! 😡🤯🤯🤯🤯

### 1/5 — Hilfe nur gegen persönliche Daten

*2024-06-03*

Man muss der personalisierten Werbung, Erfassung des Nutzungsverhaltens bzw. dem Zugriff auf Daten auf dem eigenen Gerät zustimmen, um Hilfe in der App zu erhalten. Was soll dieser Unsinn?! Umgehend deinstalliert!

### 1/5 — Peccato

*2024-05-10*

Non si è neanche aperto, nonostante la compatibilità del mio iPad sia corretta. Cancellato subito.

### 1/5 — NOPE

*2024-03-31, version 1.1.1*

Played for five minutes, already stuck. NOPE!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-16, version 1.1.2*

I’m a big fan of this developer, their games always have great, subtle puzzles. I will play any games they create, and am happy to pay instead of watching ads.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-07-13, version 1.1.2*

👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — 정말 최고예염

*2026-07-10*

삼일연속으로 이시리즈만 했어요🩷🩷바로 전에 헤이븐을 플레이했던지라 이번 것은 꽤 쉽게 느껴졌네요 힌트없이 한시간만에 클리어!! 라임 트루엔딩이나 헤이븐 후반부도 그렇고 이번 가든 후반부까지 독특한 원리로 머리쓰는 게 너무 재밌었어요 계속 만들어주시길 바랍니다❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Super fun take your time

*2026-07-04, version 1.1.2*

I really enjoyed this game. The puzzles are challenging, and it’s worth taking your time to think through each problem and look for a solution. I used a hint a couple of times because I was impatient, only to realize afterward that I probably could have figured it out on my own. It’s definitely a game that rewards patience and careful thinking.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-24, version 1.1.2*

Great escape games.  Love the gradual hints.  One puzzle a bit illogical but by and large worth their time.

### 5/5 — 완전 재밌어요!!

*2026-05-24*

rime도 재밌게 플레이했어서 개발자님의 다른 게임도 궁금해져서 해보게 되었습니다. 저는 멍청해서 힌트를 밥 먹듯 사용했지만 이왕이면 힌트 없이 풀어보시는 걸 추천드려요! 특히 마지막 부분에 유리병 용도가 정말 소름 돋았습니다.. 개발자님 정말 천재이신 것 같아요. 제가 리뷰를 단 적이 손에 꼽는데 보시면 꼭 해보시길 바라는 마음에서 남깁니다! 비슷한 게임 100개 정도만 더 만들어주시죠ㅎㅎ
+rime 보다는 bgm도 그렇고 덜 무서워서 쫄보 분들은 이거 하시면 좋을듯요!

### 5/5 — It’s the best game  in the world it was a bit hard tho

*2026-05-12, version 1.1.2*

So cool

### 5/5 — Fun little game

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.2*

Great point and click adventure game. Totally free. Make more please!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.2*

Cool game

### 5/5 — Lovely little game

*2026-03-29, version 1.1.2*

If you're an escape room veteran, you'll love this game and will figure it out pretty easily, though there are some head scratchers. If you're new to this type of game, there are no instructions (there are hints if you need them...but try to figure it out without them. So much more rewarding.) 

Great job. I even loved the music choice.
