### 1/5 — Wonky touch screen

*2022-11-17, version 1.1.5*

Using iOS, everything is up-to-date, touch screen behavior is buggy. 

Interacting with basic elements is difficult, like tapping on arrows and using found objects. Not sure if the touch target is just really small or what, but it takes multiples tries for what should be a single tap.   

Other times the touch screen behavior is fully broken. I’m stuck in the first room because the safe doesn’t respond to at all to touch interactions (yes, I’m using the right object - it’s a UI issue). I’m unable to progress through the game after just a few minutes of playing. A waste of money.

### 3/5 — Why make it so difficult?

*2022-05-07, version 1.0.11*

I haven’t even picked up a single item yet, and I’m already stuck. I loved your first game and have played hundreds of point and click escape games, but it’s not fun when puzzles make no sense and there are no clues or hints.

### 4/5 — Fun, but the clues/puzzles are always great

*2022-04-30, version 1.0.11*

I solved almost everything, some of which was just by chance. Even after solving some of the puzzles, I still didn’t understand why what I did was the solution. I wish that there was more clarity in the clues. Also, one of the last puzzles, in a painting with a deer skull on it, it completely unclear. I have solved every other thing and I can’t finish the game because of the one unsolvable puzzle. It’s really frustrating that there are clues or hits to solve, at least none that make sense. There should be hints.

### 5/5 — I truly enjoyed it

*2022-04-30, version 1.0.10*

A few glitches, but I worked through them I thought.  I only had four more artifacts to go, and when I went back to finish it I didn’t have a continue option. But I have so enjoyed the challenges and the quirkiness of it I really don’t mind starting over. Thank you developer for another good game!

### 4/5 — Hints

*2022-04-23, version 1.0.7*

Please add hints.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for the review! Unfortunately a hint system goes beyond the scope of this game, but I’m in the process of creating a walkthrough, so that should be out in a day or two.

### 5/5 — Great game! Very replayable.

*2022-04-22, version 1.0.5*

Living this game. Great artwork. Very challenging. It took me hours to get through the puzzle and there are multiple endings ands additional puzzles to figure out. I had a couple bugs, but the developer was very responsive.

### 5/5 — Fun little puzzle game!

*2022-04-22, version 1.0.5*

This puzzle game provides enough brain-bending challenges to keep you on your toes, but it’s not so frustrating that you want to give up. Lots of puzzles to solve, both big and small, and the quirky animation made for a fun experience.
