### 4/5 — Needs Save Feature

*2021-09-03*

Great game but unfortunate that you can’t save.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Promising but...

*2020-02-01*

This is an intriguing game, but there’s no way to save your progress. So, unless you plan to play it all one go, you’re wasting your time.

**Developer response:** Hey CasinoOwl, thanks for taking the time to play our game and leave us a comment!

Unfortunately, we did not have the time or resources to implement the save feature yet. We hope you enjoyed the experience nevertheless.

Kind regards
Bastian

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2020-01-29, version 0.8.1*

So I use an iPad and the game keeps on crashing at the same place

### 4/5 — Fix Freezing

*2020-01-24*

Game first froze at the fuse box then the pool, tried to let it reset itself, never worked, I swiped out of it and completely reset

**Developer response:** Hey rainy TV gytggfghvvgv,

thanks playing the game and leaving a review!

We're sorry about the bugs, but are glad you took the time to tell us about them.
We will try to fix these in the updates to come.

Kind regards
Bastian

### 4/5 — Love the aesthetic and story

*2020-01-23, version 0.8.1*

Short and sweet and suspecting more chapters coming?

Lost one point as it isn’t saving progress and due to bugs had to restart from beginning three times but because I liked it so much was willing to see it to the end! Hope for more!

### 4/5 — I love it

*2020-01-19, version 0.8.1*

Great even though I am stuck with the telescope and the first fragment

### 4/5 — BREIFCASE

*2020-01-19, version 0.8.1*

It’s really fun, but like many other people said I can’t figure out the briefcase. Please help!

### 5/5 — A fantastic start

*2020-01-19*

Loved it from the start. Easy to navigate, and difficult enough to satisfy. Can’t wait for Act 2! Oh, and the briefcase puzzle was brilliant!

### 5/5 — Different in a good way

*2020-01-18*

Well thought out puzzles!. Short but sweet. I really hope you continue creating these, it was very enjoyable!

### 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…

### 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

### 1/5 — So buggy

*2020-02-05*

I wanted to like it and it has a good premise but the fact that progress isn’t saved is bad enough but then I got stuck on some abort screen which I didn’t want, however it gave me no choice but to abort since no other option would work...I have to give it a poor review.

**Developer response:** Hey Felin Muse, thanks for playing the game and leaving us a review.

When you are at the about screen with the red background, you should be able to either switch the screens by swiping left and right or by tapping the titles and the top of the screen. Also, you should be able to always rotate your iPad to Landscape mode, so you exit the menu and return to the game. Please make sure to deactivate the rotation-lock of your iPad in order for this to work.

Should the problem persist, please feel free to leave us a mail at 
info@loneroad.net, as this bug would be new to us. 

Thanks and kind regards
Bastian

### 1/5 — Super buggy, can’t save.

*2020-01-28*

Unplayable on my iPad Pro. It freezes and then I have to restart which sets me all the way back at the beginning. Do not get this app until the bugs have been sorted. Also no way to save your progress so it’s just constant frustration.

**Developer response:** Hey mollyfn, thanks for your feedback and for playing the game.

We're sorry about the freezes. We did release version 0.8.2 in the meantime, which should fix them.

### 1/5 — Bugged out and lost all my progress

*2020-01-20*

Played through far enough to get two of the fragments. I started to wander around trying to figure out how to get the last one. I went up to the COM machine in the gas station and got stuck. Nothing I did would let me exit away from the machine. I had no choice but to close the game, so I lost all my progress because of a bug. 

The kicker is that there is no save function. Rated 1 star for it.

**Developer response:** Hey Yleciot1,

that definitely sucks...
We're sorry about that.

We will try to address the issues you mentioned in the updates to come.

Kind regards
Bastian

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2020-01-17, version 0.8.1*

It freezes constantly.

### 2/5 — Lost all my progress

*2020-02-03*

Made some good progress, left the game for the night, came back and all was lost. A game needs a save function. Too bad because the game has some good qualities and it’s always great to have a new developer on the game scene, hence the second star. But I’m moving on until there’s a save function. Sorry guys.

**Developer response:** Hey Suzsho, we're sorry the lack of a save feature diminished the joy you got from the game. Unfortunately, we did not have the time and resources to implement it yet. Should we add it in the future, we'll keep you updated.

Kind regards
Bastian

### 2/5 — Too many bugs

*2020-01-29, version 0.8.1*

Game doesn’t save progress and constantly freezes.

### 2/5 — Bad controls

*2020-01-24, version 0.8.1*

The turning and movement make me want to throw up

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — More please

*2023-07-07*

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

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Fear is what this game emits

*2020-01-28*

When I was playing this game I was extremely horrified and I loooved it so much I recommend this game if your into horror adventure puzzles

**Developer response:** Hey "the king of fear", thank you so much for your review. We're glad you liked it!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-01-28, version 0.8.1*

Is more coming?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-01-23*

This game was and has been one of my favorites I hope that the second act 2 comes out soon and look forward to playing it the end credits were also really good to I enjoyed it.

### 5/5 — Great game but I’m stuck

*2020-01-23*

From what I’ve seen so far is that this game has good visuals and very nice music and I would recommend it to people to play in there spare time but one small problem is that I’m stuck on finding the third fragment, i don’t know if it’s hard to find or I’m just dumb, but I’ve basically ran in circles around the place and got nowhere. Btw there’s a bug where the game pretty much bricks itself and all you can do is exit it and restart it so you loss all your progress because of it

**Developer response:** Hey NightWolf3124,

thank you for your feedback!

Should you want a hint about the third fragment, just drop us a mail at info@loneroad.net and tell us which puzzles you already solved so far.
Maybe we can help you out.

Also we'd be happy to fix the bug you mentioned, with which one can brick the game.
If you don't mind, please also send us some more details on this. (including the iPad model you play the game with and what you did in the game, before this happened)

Thanks and best wishes
Bastian

### 5/5 — So Good~! Act 2 Better Be Free!!

*2020-01-20*

As the title said... it better be or I’m gonna slap this with a 1 star the moment it comes out! 

The setting and its simplistic art style is a nice change of pace from the recent graphic intense (and toxic) game. Plus for once this kind of art style is free... unlike some games that share the same concept.

To Potential Lone Road Fans:
I went around the station several times. Like say... 4-5 minutes of walking in circles like a dumb idiot. Makes me question how I made it to the end. It was right in front of me.

The story is good... if you want an increase in blood pressure this is for you. Even if it’s act one. Your blood will boil. That or maybe it’s just me. If you want to feel sad this is also for you.

Music is good if not very simple. It makes you question life and really makes it feel like you’re reaping what you sow. Pairs with the story quite nicely. End song credits is a killer touch too.

Puzzles... they’re easy, so long as you look.

...pretty sure I rang that bell for several minutes too...

### 5/5 — MORE😃

*2020-01-19, version 0.8.1*

Really enjoyed this game!
