You realise it’s not strictly autobiographical, right? 😂 ### 1/5 — Crashes on iphone 12 pro *2023-04-05, version 1.0* Iphone 12 pro, ios 16.5 dev beta. Game crashes when launching. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t play properly *2022-02-27* There was literally no talking feature so I couldn’t move forward with the game. Big bummer! **Developer response:** Hey, sorry you’ve had a bad experience. Have you tried reading the “How to play this game” guide? It will explain that the talk option only appears in “day” mode when you’re a human. ☀️ Please consider amending your rating as I am a solo developer and every review counts. ❤️ ### 4/5 — Short but Sweet *2026-03-25* I pretty much knew how this would end but boy did I have fun playing it. Clever puzzles, great dialogue…I’m going to go search for their other games now. Well done!!! ### 4/5 — . *2023-07-09, version 1.01* Сделайте перевод на русский ### 4/5 — Game crashes *2023-04-16* I want to play this game but every time I got to open it, it crashes. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling. I’m on iOS 16.4 - please let me know how I can run the game! **Developer response:** Updated response: The latest update should hopefully all be working on the latest iOS versions now. Please feel free to give it a whirl again! :) ### 4/5 — Can’t get the lice *2023-01-27* I can’t get the lice whatever I tried. The first time I got the lice conversation I walked away and interrupted it, but didn’t get any lice. I suspect it caused me to unable to trigger it again. ### 4/5 — Very enjoyable but too short *2022-08-07* This game was fun to play, even having to wait in real-time to advance (which was probably done because the game is so short.) Wish it was longer!!! ### 4/5 — I love this genre *2022-06-17* I have just started the game and so far so good but only thing is I think you need to explain the sniff/talk to button because it’s easy to miss **Developer response:** Great feedback, glad you’re enjoying it too 😊 ### 4/5 — Nice and funny *2022-05-07, version 1.0* Original adventure game which is really refreshing compared to what you usually find these days. I love the sense of humour. Only drawback is the difficulty to progress through some steps of the game. Maybe it’s not so well adapted to smartphones or I’m dumber than what my ego allows me to think I am. But I had to look for a solution on Internet to finish the game and it jeopardised a bit the pleasure. Maybe a “hint” system within the game would be useful for people like me … I recommend it however. And congrats to the team ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Flease,this game was fun *2026-08-14* Dark, but funny.

Love! ### 5/5 — Short but fun *2025-10-15* Fun game. A little humor in it. Not too hard of puzzles. The hints didn’t light up all of the places you could use, but it was fun nonetheless.

The puzzles were logical and enjoyable.

I never review games but I really loved it! I wish there could be a part 2 someday, maybe of the barber + meat pie lady lol. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Loved it. Can’t wait for the full game *2025-01-05, version 1.01* Reminds me of maniac mansion back in the 80’s and the Thimbleweed Park they recently made. Can’t wait for the full version. More of these games please.
