### 1/5 — Where’s Milly?

*2023-11-14, version 1.0.4*

Like previous reviewers have said…to progress in the game we need to give Milly some items to clean herself off…but…there’s no Milly. Really annoying as I love DG and it’s irritating that I can’t finish this one. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Same issues as others

*2023-11-09*

Can’t cont game because unable to use cleaning solution. Lady isn’t there.  Just installed and nothing.  Not gonna reinstall game bc used hint to avoid a puzzle and I’m not paying to have it completed again.  Pass this one unless you like spending time unable to progress.

**Developer response:** Hello! We fixed the issue in the new version of our hidden object adventure game. Please update the game to continue playing. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you'll have fun!

### 1/5 — Has a glitch can’t play

*2023-11-07, version 1.0.4*

Broken

### 1/5 — Waste of time!!!!!!

*2023-11-06, version 1.0.4*

The most frustrating fn game I have ever played. I fn spent money on this fn game!!!! FU!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — It’s broken

*2023-11-05*

I’ve done everything. And there’s nothing to do. I’ve downloaded it. Played about. 15~20 minutes. And like stuck like glue. So I went online to check a walkthrough to see if I’m missing something. Nope I’ve done everything correctly. But according to the walkthrough Millie is supposed to be standing by the side table where costume designs were. And I’m supposed to give her cleaning solution. But she’s not there. I even watched 20 ads to play the side task of making costume to see if that would make appear. Nope. Hint button doesn’t work either. Except in mini games. I’ve played a ton of Domini games. They are usually great. This one. Broken.

### 1/5 — Another glitch

*2024-04-02, version 1.0.5*

When I get to the scarecrow no matter what hand or head position I put them in it does not work, so I’ve deleted it

### 1/5 — Still glitched

*2024-02-22*

I just updated this game, restarted my phone, tried wifi and not wifi, and the glitch is still there where I can’t use the cleaning solution on her.

**Developer response:** Hello! This situation is already fixed. You just need to update your hidden object finding game. We hope you will have fun. If you encounter any other issues, please contact us right away, we will be happy to help.

### 1/5 — Totally flawed game

*2024-01-31, version 1.0.4*

Same as all other reviews, character missing so unable to move forward in game. Truly do not waste time downloading game.

### 1/5 — Ads every two minutes!

*2023-12-25, version 1.0.4*

The game itself isn’t bad but the ads are absolutely ridiculous it’s every two minutes if that… trying to do a puzzle and there’s ads constantly. I 100% do not recommend. There’s better games that don’t have an insane amount of ads.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2023-12-13*

There’s a glitch where Millie doesn’t appear dirty, so you can’t move forward.

**Developer response:** Hello! We fixed the issue in the new version of our hidden object adventure game. Please update the game to continue playing. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you'll have fun!

### 1/5 — Please fix the Glitch

*2023-12-06, version 1.0.4*

There is a glitch in the start of the game. Wish I had read reviews first.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2023-12-05, version 1.0.4*

Can’t move on from collecting 2 feathers, lense, and few other items

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-11-23*

Played but after certain point there is nothing can do. Person supposed to give supplies to is not there. I chose option to do costume but when tried reloading the game it’s saying I have to unlock the costume part again  but I still have access to room. Person never appeared even after restarting

### 1/5 — Broke

*2023-11-22*

Same issue others have, restarted my iPad, deleted app, reinstalled, stuck where cleaning solution should be used.. 1st game of f2p I’ve had issue with. Disappointed!

### 1/5 — Game has a glitch

*2023-11-18, version 1.0.4*

Don’t waste your time, the game has a glitch which means that a character required to continue the game doesn’t show up and you will drive yourself mad trying to find her. Disappointing.

Thanks to your tech team we are back up and running. ;)

Thank you for contacting me and helping me figure out the problem I was having with the game. I love all the games I’ve played so far.

4. Make sure that your game is updated to the latest version.
5. Try clearing cache.
6. Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa

### 3/5 — Appears to be broken (IPad Pro 12.9 IPadOS 17.1)

*2023-11-04, version 1.0.4*

Having collected all the following objects… Cleaning Kit 2/2, Stick, Feathers 1/3, Memory Card, Flask, Jack Handle, Laser Pointer, Lens …there seems to be nowhere to go. Checking a walkthrough on YouTube shows the gamer handing the cleaning kit to the girl, but she is nowhere to be seen on the IPad version. I tried the hint system, but that doesn’t work. No hint provided in any of the three scenes, just a whooshing noise.

### 3/5 — Games aren’t the same anymore..

*2023-10-24, version 1.0.2*

So disappointed in the games lately. There’s no collectibles, no morphing objects and they’re shorter. Also, the stories just aren’t as good. The older ftp games were great and I wouldn’t mind spending money but I wouldn’t now with the way they’ve been.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2023-11-21, version 1.0.4*

Game is broken, same as another reviewer I can't get past the second location and hints don't work. Shame as the game was good to that point.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2023-11-15, version 1.0.4*

Same issue as others checking on a walkthrough there should be a character to give cleaning kit to but she doesn’t appear. Hint doesn’t work
