### 5/5 — Ди

*2026-01-22*

Я на 98 уровне , почему на поле не появляются задания , и не открывается новые фракции????

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-01-18*

A great “go find it” game, with lots of different modes as you progress through the levels, and lots of fun characters and storylines. Varying degrees of difficulties some frustrating, but not impossible. I really like this one and will spend some time on it yet.

### 4/5 — РЫНОК

*2025-12-22*

Игра классная, частенько зависаю, но
1) Я ВАШ РЫНОК В РОТ Е*АЛ
2) Энергия быстро заканчивается

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2025-10-20*

Молодцы

### 3/5 — Info on playing

*2025-10-01*

Basically no instructions on how to use tools and fulfillment of goals.  Some of the hidden objects are too small even with screen bright and enlarged.

### 4/5 — Hidden Epee

*2025-09-20*

Any upcoming updates to this game? They are well overdue

### 5/5 — to developers

*2025-05-17, version 1.16.1500*

it’s amazing not to hard not to easy my only complaint is the musketeers missions could be easier

### 3/5 — Verstehe nicht

*2025-05-13*

An sich schönes Spiel. Aber das Spiel scheint vernachlässigt zu werden. Es gibt einfach keine Updates. Da gibt man Geld aus und fragt sich für was? Man kommt ja nicht weiter. Man könnte meinen, es wäre abzocke. Kommen noch Updates? Wenn ja, wann?
