### 5/5 — More please

*2023-07-07*

Been playing this with my brother.  Good puzzles and story, but when will more be added?

### 1/5 — Buggy and unplayable

*2022-05-11, version 0.8.2*

I’ve played a number of games in this genre and this one seemed to have a lot of promise.  That said, it was unplayable…

### 4/5 — Needs Save Feature

*2021-09-03*

Great game but unfortunate that you can’t save.

### 5/5 — Difficult games

*2021-06-06*

It’s a really hard game but, it’s a really cool game

### 5/5 — Fun

*2020-05-28, version 0.8.2*

This was fun! I enjoyed it.

### 4/5 — No ability to save progress, no 5 stars

*2020-05-16, version 0.8.2*

Great thinking game with great atmosphere, simple to the point graphics and a wonderful simple music score.  The lack of being able to save progress forces me to rate this 3 stars, otherwise I would have given it 5.  Lack of saving progress is very frustrating.

Update 5/15/20 
Developers responded quickly with the intent to include a save feature soon, so an upgrade to 4 stars which I will happily make 5 stars when the save feature gets incorporated.  A nice quick and favorable response by the developer. Nice folk.

### 3/5 — Letter didn’t fall out of mirror

*2020-05-03, version 0.8.2*

I had to try the 1000 combination by hand to find it
Thank you for not implementing a delay system on the lock.

### 1/5 — Fatally bugged

*2020-04-26, version 0.8.2*

Great mood, but current version is unplayable, as there is no way to pick up the objects (the key, for instance) that are required. Looking forward to trying again when bugs are fixed.

### 1/5 — Tried this game but it just kept freezing

*2020-04-25*

Thought looked interesting but you come across a red square that starts calibrating your device, turns itself landscape mode and then you can’t do anything. Came out and retried 3 x and same thing. iPad Pro 4th generation iOS 13.4.1

**Developer response:** Hey belamba, did you make sure to turn of rotation-lock of your iPad and to rotate it from landscape to portrait mode after the calibration mode has disappeared and returned to the game? Please give it another go. Should the problem persist, please feel free to leave us a mail at info@loneroad.net with further details.

Thanks and kind regards
Bastian

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2020-04-01, version 0.8.2*

This game is quite good for something the programmer did in their spare time. Reminds me of Myst. I am hoping for a continuation at some point, would like to see where the story goes from here.
