### 2/5 — Already purchase fails

*2026-01-12, version 1.0.2*

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2023-01-14*

When I was like 7 years old I played this game. It was scary and fun at the same time! I made it to the last level but I was to scared to die anything so I deleted the app! I definitely recommend this app for kids 10+ bc I was a lil to young…Have fun

### 1/5 — 画面進まず

*2021-06-24, version 1.0.2*

名前入力を間違えたので消したいのに✖️をタップしても画面変わらず
結局ゲーム出来ませんでした

### 1/5 — ひどいです。

*2021-05-26, version 1.0.2*

初めのところからどこをタップしても反応しなくて、全く進みません。課金する前で良かった…。

### 1/5 — Can’t play it

None of the buttons are working. Please fix. Thanks.

It doesn’t work 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Can’t Play

*2020-09-17, version 1.0.2*

Downloaded App and unable to start game or click anywhere.

### 1/5 — Ну эт ваще п****ц, какие вам деньги, когда я даже профиль создать не могу из-за отсутствия оптимизац

*2020-04-24*

Просто нет слов. Один маленький минус перечеркнул все плюсы игры полностью. Как, собственно, и саму игру...
Ну эт ваще п****ц, какие вам деньги, когда я даже профиль создать не могу из-за отсутствия оптимизации данной игры для iOS 13. Я люблю эту игру, проходил её на маке. Но на айфоне эт ваще трэш какой-то. Пока не исправите баг - о покупке этой игры и речи быть не может

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-04-03, version 1.0.2*

It’s sad BIG FISH!!! disgustingly sad that some players complained a year ago about the issue that I have it today. I can’t even write the player’s name. Grimes tale is one of the best games, I love domini at least they take care of their customers and fix the problem not a couple years later🤬

### 2/5 — Why?

*2020-01-17, version 1.0.2*

It won’t let me in the FRIKIN game!! It’s stuck on the enter your name!! I’ve tried deleting it and downloading it again but it doesn’t work! What am I supposed to do?!

### 1/5 — Can’t play!!

*2020-01-07*

I downloaded the game, but, when i open the game, I’m unable to do anything. At the main screen, i try tapping “play” but nothing happens. I checked comparability, an my iPhone 7 is comparable. I’ve had this issue with a few other games and its frustrating. I would like to play the entire series, full games all the way through. But, i don’t want to pay for something I’m unable to play. Is there a solution to this problem?

### 1/5 — Reagiert nicht

*2019-12-03*

Früher ging das Spiel ohne Problem.
Jetzt reagiert keine Taste mehr, warum??

### 1/5 — Unplayable, literally.

*2019-11-13, version 1.0.2*

Seriously Big Fish? Why is this still on the AppStore?

### 1/5 — 自分も

*2019-06-22, version 1.0.2*

以前購入してプレイして久々にプレイしようと起動したら名前の入力から全く動かず。
課金してこれでは詐欺と一緒。
改善して。

### 1/5 — Please Fix!!!

*2019-05-08*

Would not even give this game a single star if I could. Downloaded and deleted and downloaded several times and still cannot move past the screen to enter your name. Please fix. Discovered this series about a year ago and I have played all the games in this series except for this one. The game is old but it should still be updated for new fans of the series. Please fix!!!

### 2/5 — Game won’t register taps

*2019-03-22*

I also couldn’t get play because it wouldn’t recognize my clicks. Starting on the name screen I couldn’t type my name. Eventually just by clicking randomly I was able to start the game, hoping it would be sorted out once the game started running, but it wouldn’t even let me click yes or no on the tutorial pop up. I can see that this is a common problem. Please fix!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work unfortunately

*2025-10-09, version 1.0.2*

Can’t even enter player name. Total waste.

### 1/5 — Can’t play

### 1/5 — DOSE NOT WORK

*2024-06-12, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded this game and nothing happens.  I can’t even put my name in the “Player” box.

### 1/5 — After all these years…

*2024-02-03*

It doesn’t look like anything has changed. Wanted to give it a chance, again, and I couldn’t even type “players name”.  It’s to bad really, that even with all these reviews that they didn’t bother to go back and fix it. And now I saw it referenced in another game, about going back to “VISIT OLD BUT WELL KNOW PLACES TO REVEAL NEW SECRETS”.  How can it be well known when no one’s been able to PLAY?!?!

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2023-06-05*

Das Spiel habe ich seit 3 Jahren, habe es neulich neu installiert jetzt kann ich es nicht mehr spielen da es nicht mehr geht, ich kann machen was ich will es reagiert nicht

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-15*

I have tried to play two games from this series on my phone and neither would work. They fully load in but I cannot do anything. I can’t even type my name in after the first intro scene.

### 1/5 — I don’t remember THIS

*2022-08-16, version 1.0.2*

I used to play this when I was a lot younger, and got to the 3rd demon before I stopped, and now I have it on iPhone, I can’t make it past the MENU! Big fish games, please fix this bug!

### 1/5 — Nothing Works

*2022-07-19, version 1.0.2*

Nothing works. I typed and carefully re-typed my ID, got SZXURX every time. Backspace doesn't work. Couldn't get out to get back in. Nothing works--except deleting it. That works.

### 1/5 — Worst thing ever

*2022-02-19, version 1.0.2*

I can’t even get out of spelling my player name they don’t even let me spell my name

### 1/5 — Version too low

*2021-11-25, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — Can't stop

*2017-03-24*

I can't stop playing this game

### 5/5 — Fand das Spiel super klasse!

*2017-02-28*

Also ich konnte in jedem Wimmelbild auf alles tippen und nichts ging schwer oder garnicht, auch mit dem Touch war alles in Ordnung und die Trompete bekam ich auch leicht. 
Um von Raum zu Raum zu gelangen, geht es mit der Karte am schnellsten, da tippt man auf den Raum in den man möchte und ist dann da, auch von der Spiegelwelt, weil das zurück gehen ab und zu schon "nicht gut" ging, aber man hatte ja die Karte! 
Mehr davon bitte!!!

### 5/5 — Vixen
