## What is Hidden World?

The strange feeling you had all day followed you to bed that night. 

A sudden crash from the next room wakes you from dreams of magical lands, and sets your heart racing in your chest. 

Sitting bolt upright in bed, the strange feeling returns as your eyes adjust to the darkness, focusing on the odd wooden symbols across the mantel of the fireplace. Almost as if something were calling you...

Turning on the lamp, you cautiously get up, moving towards the sound that woke you. This is your uncle's house and though you've been here many times, it suddenly feels very different. 

The room is littered with wonderfully strange and interesting artifacts, souvenirs from your uncle's travels, from where he would not say. On the floor lays a small tiled box, broken open. Unfolding the paper nestled within it, you instantly recognize the symbols. 

The fireplace!

Running back into the bedroom, you examine again the symbols on the paper. They match perfectly those in the woodwork of the mantel, but are arranged differently...

Though your hands are shaking with excitement, you work quickly, rearranging the wooden symbols to match the ones on the paper, hearing them click into place easily one after the other, until the pattern is complete.

Suddenly, beams of golden sunlight burst through the opening in the fireplace, cutting through the darkness in the room. Standing back with a gasp, you look through the opening, eyes wide in awe at the beautiful, magical land from your dream on the other side. 

With a deep breath, you step through the opening and take your first steps into another world...

### 5/5 — Bell puzzle

*2024-01-11, version 1.0.10*

I’ve played several Fire Maple Games and love them. Thus the five star review.  I’ve never run into a game glitch until today. In the bell puzzle, I have tried again and again to use the hint system and solve the bell puzzle but the puzzle won’t unlock. I don’t know where to get help for this.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-10-06, version 1.0.10*

I love all the Fire Maple games and have played this one many many times. But it will no longer open. I have deleted and reinstalled and it still doesn’t work. At all. When I open the app it remains a black screen. Sucks to pay for a game that you can’t play. I would give 5 stars if I could actually open the app and play.

### 5/5 — Красивая игра и музыка

*2023-04-01*

Лучшая игра для всей семьи.

### 4/5 — 😘

*2022-11-20, version 1.0.10*

Nice little game, all these games from Fire Maple games are worth it, this one is a bit short, but as it was very cheap, that's ok.Nice story and graphics, a bit of wondering about, but as it was beautiful to look at, not a problem, a must to while away an hour or two. Give it a go.🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

### 1/5 — Bug!

*2022-11-11, version 1.0.10*

I love this game series and played through the original Grisley Manor and lost city but there is a bug with the piano puzzle in this game. When you go to enter the third puzzle combination on the piano the game will freeze and you are unable to play any further. Upon restarting the game the puzzle shows I’ve completed two piano combinations but will not show the third combination anymore. When I try to enter the third combination again (I memorized the sequence) it will not let me complete it! I hope it gets fixed soon I love these games and hope to buy the rest of the series but will not until this game gets fixed
