This is very unsatisfactory. ### 4/5 — I loved this game *2021-08-30, version 1.8* I really enjoyed this game. I didn’t have any glitches. ### 2/5 — Lost & Alone *2021-05-09, version 1.8* Great fun at first but the game did not grant the sword upon completion of the water puzzle. You should refund this mistake. ### 1/5 — Ultra baaaaaaad *2020-11-11* Don’t get it ### 1/5 — Locked up on puzzle *2020-11-05, version 1.8* The game locked up for me on the “getting the sheep and wolves across the river” part. Nothing worked. I gave up and dumped it. Cost $4.99 for nothing. I have a new upgraded iPad. Do not recommend it ### 1/5 — Meh! *2020-11-02, version 1.8* Only played for a short few minutes before it asked me to buy the game. Not long enough to see if I really like it or not. ### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-09-20* Disappointing ### 1/5 — Ditelo che è a pagamento.. *2020-04-26* E comunque non vale i soldi che chiedete. ### 1/5 — Just, no *2020-03-27* Look, I have no issue paying for a game normally, I have the whole fire maple series and all the media city games in their $5 bundle... but I got 2 minutes into this game and was told to buy it. Again, if it was $2 like every other point and click/room escape style game, sure... hey if it even had great graphics or a super compelling story I’d pay the $5... but it was worse quality and a worse tactic of getting people to buy it than just having a cheaper paywall. Plus, the $5 price tag and the verbiage they used to “force” you to buy it made it sound kind of like a series and not this one mediocre game. Honestly these have been my saving grace in quarantine but this was so annoying to me I wanted to warn others. You guys played yourselves, I would’ve bought it had it mentioned anywhere it was just a trial, plus you put the pay wall so dang early in the gameplay no one is really getting invested to where they feel like they have to buy it to see the ending. Honestly I’d recommend any of the games I mentioned in the first few sentences whole-heartedly if you’re looking for basically a better version of “lost and alone”. ### 3/5 — Enigmi *2020-03-14* Troppo difficile ### 1/5 — I purchased this *2020-02-18, version 1.7* I paid for a working game I’m at the mansion and I can’t open the door with out a handle and the clue say the handle is in s25 which is in the mansion which I can’t get into without the handle , please give my money back what a joke! ### 3/5 — Pretty but flawed *2020-02-08, version 1.7* Clue system is clumsy, eg suggests I use a fishing pole in a map when it is not in my inventory. No further info if the clue is unhelpful - other games have a link to a video, for example. No quick jumping in the map - pretty tedious. Pretty though. Check out fire maple games for how it's done properly. ### 1/5 — RUBBISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *2020-01-12* Load of garbage this game is more interested in money than peoples entertainment, so don’t download as all you get is purchase this that and the other what a load of c*** ### 1/5 — Two versions one game *2019-11-23, version 1.7* I have this version but apparently it’s not the full game. Constant pop-ups tells me to buy the other. Not fun. Good game play at first. ### 1/5 — Lösungen *2019-07-03* Schönes Spiel bis zum Lösen des Rätsels beim Schert. Schade das es keine Taste für Lösungen für die einzelnen Rätsel gibt, man tippt wie will auf die vier Steine jedoch nichts passiert. Daher nur 1 Stern, wenn Rätsel überspringen wären kommt man ja weiter und mehr Sterne. Preis o.K. ### 4/5 — Jeu sympa *2019-06-15* Pourquoi se plaindre que le jeu ne soit pas gratuit ? Il est tout à fait normal qu'un travail soit rémunéré...les jeux "gratuits" sont pollués par des publicités intempestives et fréquentes.. franchement je préfère pouvoir jouer tranquillement d'autant plus que ce jeu est long et a de très beaux décors. Les énigmes sont variées, peut-être un peu trop basiques pour certaines, mais j'ai passé un très bon moment. Merci ### 1/5 — Avis *2019-06-03* Ce jeu n'est pas du tout gratuit. .. Vous êtes bloqué au bout de 3 minutes. Arnaque .!!! ### 2/5 — Not worth 5 bucks *2019-05-30* This game is not worth 5 bucks. A couple bucks, maybe but 5 bucks, no. It pales in comparison to The Room Series and Forever Lost episodes. I cannot recommend it. The graphics are okay and puzzles are a series of go fetch and tired puzzles used in other games. The story lacked a decent ending. If you are going to slap down this kind of coin, buy a Rusty Lake premium game instead or play one of their free cube escape games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 😎😱😤 *2024-08-18, version 1.8* I love Maple Palm games, but this one was really good but at the end just got boring I don’t know why I just didn’t feel like a good ending, but I finished the game. It was good. I have seen better. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2023-05-31, version 1.8* There is a place where you have to use a screwdriver. I never found it and I reset the game many times ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-09-25* When I first played it really quickly ask me to pay!!!!!!!! I hate it you can’tActually play it for ten minutes without paying ### 1/5 — No updates *2022-05-31* Despite buying full version I cannot access map teleport or hints. No update for a year. What has happened? ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2022-03-08, version 1.8* They lead you to believe that the game is a free game, with a premium option, however just to lead you on so you want to buy the game. I don’t think that it actually worked well because the first few minutes of it are confusing, we get no explanation of what’s going on our a goal or a hint at that goal. Don’t get it unless you want to waste your money. ### 1/5 — Get a few scenes in and you are held hostage to pay to continue *2021-10-28, version 1.8* Lovely scenes, unintuitive UI and once you get so far in you get stuck on a scene where everything you click is the same advert to pay. Waste of time. Played all of 3 minutes tops for this experience. Immediately removed the game. ### 1/5 — Complete waste of time and money! *2021-10-18* First of all, I purchased this when it first came out and got frustrated and annoyed by it and uninstalled it back then. I forgot this was the same game since it's been a long time but it looked familiar. I purchased it again and when the notification popped up with the option to restore my purchase, it wouldn't allow me to. Every time I tried to click on that the screen flashed and the option disappeared. This happened about 15 times within about 30 seconds. Couldn't click on cancel or ok either. Finally I got the game to load (by purchasing it again like an idiot). I should have known better!!! The graphics are pretty but that's the only good thing about the game. Instead of progressing through the game like a normal adventure or escape game, you are forced to keep wandering back and forth between scenes with no clear direction as to what you're supposed to be doing. A few of the puzzles were impossible to solve the way they were made. And sometimes the clue for a particular scene wasn't a clue at all. Instead of giving you a hint about how to solve the puzzle, it would tell you to go somewhere else. Or even tell you to "solve the puzzle" without telling you how. I didn't even get to go to all the scenes on the map but somehow I ended up on another planet looking back at earth with chimpanzee astronauts in the scene and the game was over!! Total rip off. I will never recommend any of their games to anyone. Wish I could get my ten bucks back for being an idiot and forgetting I bought it before. Spent five bucks twice and this game wouldn't even be good if it was free. Don't waste your time or money! ### 1/5 — Lost and alone *2021-02-27* Advertised as free but you only get so far and it requests payment if a game is free then take this out!!! ### 1/5 — Ok *2021-02-09, version 1.8* Hello I will talk to you later bye ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-01-17* This game is Rubbish within 18 seconds you have to sign up it cares more about money then the people playing it!!!!!!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome 2 *2020-10-23* This is the second game I have bought from you people. You are phenomenal in these games. They are well worth the money thank you for all your time and effort in producing them. ### 5/5 — !!! *2019-05-28, version 1.7* So much fun!!!! A good long story and I really hope you guys plan in making a part 2!! ### 5/5 — Perfect game for the leisure time *2017-11-07* Thanks to my friend who have advised me to download this app because it is a really good game. When you are playing this game full of different tasks and adventures, you get into absolutely different reality ( it's actually quite good after the hard working day). I like graphics and design of it and I would definitely recommend you to download it and assess by yourself this game. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2017-11-06, version 1.2* The sights of this game are really astonishing! It's just what you need after a stressful day at work. The locations are colorful. Hope that in future the developers will add more new sights ### 5/5 — A review *2017-11-06, version 1.2* Great game, I've been playing for weeks and absolutely love it ### 5/5 — Review *2017-10-31* I really like this game. First i opened it lost tree hours playing. Picture is perfect, I can't distinguish where picture and where photos. Also if you want to get away from hard work and relax, this game is something that you need! ### 5/5 — A game. *2017-10-31* It seems like a pretty easy game. But actually when I started playing it I was like «wow, this game is addictive ». Also I’m really into this puzzle’s atmosphere, the graphics are great. I don’t even know what I’d do being bored if I didn’t find this game. ### 5/5 — In-depth designed app *2017-10-19, version 1.2* I like this game as it is one of the the most beautiful games I have ever played. Personally, I think that the graphics is awesome. It is so beatiful and it helps me to relax. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2017-10-16, version 1.2* Ilove this atmosphere it's relly awesome! Pictures are very nice, i spend several hours, playing this app. Great time waster! ### 5/5 — Cool and relaxing *2017-10-14* The application is a regular point and click, raw and simple. I just grabbed this game because it looked pretty and it turned out to be a good one overall. Tranquilizing playing due to the background imagery and general atmosphere. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
