### 2/5 — Good, until it wasn’t!

*2019-08-12, version 1.0.0*

Fun to play for the first 2/3s but after the town hall section the whole thing was messed up. You couldn’t see the chronometer on the bottom left anymore, you could hear voices, but there were no people to be seen. Couldn’t follow the directions to “match the symbols on the chronometer because you couldn’t see the chronometer! The whole last third of the game was a total waste of mone! Refund please!

### 3/5 — Good game but could be better

*2018-01-10, version 1.0.0*

While this is a fun game it does have some negatives. You can’t restart puzzles and the game get stuck on the cake puzzle. These can cause frustration.
Still good story and easy to follow.

### 2/5 — Glitches Game I've Ever Played

*2017-05-18, version 1.0.0*

So I'm about 70% done, and I need tweezers.  I get them go to use them and they disappear and. Can't move on.  Probably have to reload entire game and start over.  Also the wedding cake game is barely playable.  This has a really cool concept with absolutely horrid game play.  Do Not Buy!!!

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2017-01-28, version 1.0.0*

I find the moves made in this game to be a bit confusing.  I have to continually go to the map to find out what to do next, and where.  I have paused it frequently, though, so maybe I just haven't been too attentive to the game.  The map is good, and has teleportation.  The hint seems good, too, and you'll need it.  The map leaves circles at places you've been and there's no explanation as to what they represent.  The puzzles vary but are way too easy to be challenging.

I'm not sure if I want to buy it or not.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2017-01-14, version 1.0.0*

This game was very glitchy. Sometimes you touch a place on the screen and it brings you somewhere else when that's not what was intended. Sometimes the description that pops up doesn't seem to match what's going on. The back button was sometimes in the way of something I needed to activate. And, moving between scenes sometimes took soooooo long that I felt I was "frozen in time". It was very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2016-12-27, version 1.0.0*

There were noticeable delays in game play, but the story played out well.

*2016-12-24, version 1.0.0*

After I read the reviews by Catalina, KimTwilight, Opinion and Dracyy, who are all cherished DTE members, I guess I made a mistake purchasing it, but I gave it a shot. I wanted to thank Kim for recommending the Absolutist game. I purchased it but haven't played yet. I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday! Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you as always Dracyy for looking out for me! I don't know if Snooper will play but I send much ❤💋😘 her way!
This game had so many elements that we all want: lengthy with a long bonus adventure, a back button, customization of settings, a marked teleport map, labeled inventory with complex items to assemble, not HO-heavy, lots of puzzles, and a neat gimmick (the chronograph). It also had an interesting storyline as well. The graphics were not great but they were colorful as opposed to hideous and gloomy. The biggest issue was the game mechanics, or lack thereof! The gameplay and the dialogue ran very slowly and inventory usage was almost impossible at times. It is almost comical that this was a game about time and it didn't run properly. BigFish, how could you give us a game that ran this poorly and drained our iPads as well? If the best thing I can say is no major rats that's pretty bad! A lot of you were overly generous with the stars! Not me!
Merry Christmas everyone! Lynxie hopes nobody gets any coal in their stockings and all of your dreams come true!

### 3/5 — Haunted Train. Frozen in time

*2016-12-23, version 1.0.0*

Not very exciting. Disliked the one woman's voice, terrible!!👎   Lagged between scenes. Wasn't interested in doing the bonus chapters! Glad I didn't pay full price

### 1/5 — Don't even download

*2016-12-22, version 1.0.0*

Frozen in time is INDEED frozen in time....I thought my iPad was locked up....rebooted and found out it was the game...too many glitches to mention....found myself hitting the "back" button about 10 times...then when it finally went back, it backed up about 2 scenes...
Don't waste your time...

### 4/5 — Not bad ⚡️⏱

*2016-12-22, version 1.0.0*

I'm playing on iPad Air, and yes there is a slight delay when moving between scenes etc (nothing major) and the music does drown out the narrative if you don't turn it down (I did, and it was fine).
I quite enjoyed this game.  The graphics are gorgeous with an interesting storyline & it's quite a long game and bonus with some lovely butterfly collectables which you can use at the end of the game to make a picture.  There's a good map, plenty of puzzles (some quite tricky) and quite a few HOS (could have done with a few less).  I did think that the chronometer (for freezing/unfreezing time etc) was overused in places and the game did freeze a couple of times (fixed by closing app completely and reopening) but otherwise not a bad game.

### 1/5 — Haunted train

*2016-12-22, version 1.0.0*

Total waste of time ,keeps crashing and movements jerky tried reloading nothing works not worth the money or the time

### 1/5 — Do not not buy

*2016-12-22, version 1.0.0*

It was just OK then it froze in the bonus round and I could not complete the game...waste of money

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What happened to buy once, play forever?

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.0*

Well?

### 1/5 — Not up to usual standards

*2019-04-27, version 1.0.0*

The game is glitchy and the graphics are low quality. I couldn't even get past the point of filling in my name without it glitching and kicking me out twice. Then, it happened several times after that. Not typical Big Fish quality.

### 1/5 — Big Fish Daily Deal

*2018-02-25, version 1.0.0*

This game is on todays Big Fish Daily Deal. It will let me download to play for free but when I try to buy it it says it won’t connect to the App Store. I can connect to the App Store ok but just not through the game. Even on the App Store searching for it direct gives no option to purchase??!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-02-25, version 1.0.0*

Every criticism here is valid. The game kept freezing and is difficult to navigate. Tried to unlock and it wouldn't let me. Just wasted an hour of my life I will never get back!

### 1/5 — Haunted Train. Frozen in Time

*2017-03-21, version 1.0.0*

Was hard to play real slow and froze. Just like the tittle. Was very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Very slow

*2017-02-11, version 1.0.0*

It's so slow wished I have not bought it and a bit boring

### 1/5 — Unstable

*2017-02-03, version 1.0.0*

Story line would be good if it wasn't for the jerkiness and the long time between scenes..come on fix the bugs, until they do don't buy

### 1/5 — Frozen in time

*2016-12-30, version 1.0.0*

Could have been a great game, but it kept stopping and freezing.  Please work on it!!

### 1/5 — Haunted Train, Frozen in time

*2016-12-26, version 1.0.0*

Terrible game, come on Big Fish you guys can do better than this. 🤔

### 1/5 — Don't bother at any price

*2016-12-25, version 1.0.0*

Ridiculous story line, boring and repetitive puzzles-- there is little to engage the mind even on your dullest day. This must have been developed by the B team or maybe the interns.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Absolutely loved this!

*2018-09-18, version 1.0.0*

I couldn’t put this down and loved the storyline and artwork. It was really good being able to go back and find hidden butterflies that I’d missed too. The only slight issue was the invisible ‘chronometer’ in the bonus game, but this didn’t end up causing any difficulty for me once I realised what the problem was. An altogether really enjoyable, well made and imaginative game.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-01-02, version 1.0.0*

Great fun! No glitches.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-01-02, version 1.0.0*

Worked flawlessly. Appreciated the ability to return to scenes and find missed collectables, (though I would have liked to have known at the time if I had gotten them in a given scene).

I see a complaint about the sound effects. They really didn't bother me. The one problem I found was that there was no separate volume control for dialog, and it was often too low to hear over other sounds - really my only complaint.

### 5/5 — Haunted train

*2016-12-20, version 1.0.0*

Not bad, a great way to waste/kill time, keeps ya thinking and before you know it 3-4 hours are gone. A lot of fun and not frustrating, but if you needed it, there's always the magic hint button to get you heading in the right direction.

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2016-12-19, version 1.0.0*

Really enjoying this game. Quite different puzzles and searches.
Neat graphics, no problems.

### 4/5 — Really good game

*2019-11-13, version 1.0.0*

A little different from the standard Big Fish games but good storyline and great length with bonus chapter also. Lots of hops.

### 4/5 — Fun Game

*2017-01-25, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed the game. The HO's were interesting. I never looked at the Map. The hint was very helpful. The game froze on me twice but I just closed the IPad and it started up immediately where I left off.

### 4/5 — Not Bad

*2017-01-20, version 1.0.0*

And better than most

### 4/5 — 🙂

*2017-01-17, version 1.0.0*

Jeu intéressant mais l'histoire un peu lente, je passe quand même un bon moment 

,

### 4/5 — Interesting game!!

*2016-12-30, version 1.0.0*

A bit different to the usual slick same old games a little glitchy but for £2.99 with all the work in IT I'm not complaining!
Try it out 👌🏽
