### 4/5 — Awesome game

*2026-02-05*

I can’t pay for the game, I’m 67 and on fixed income, plus $6.99 is a bit much don’t you agree. But thanks for the enjoyment

### 3/5 — Does not allow you to find all the kestrels at the end

*2024-11-07*

I like games that let you to go look for the items you missed.  Also like to be able to improve on all the parts of the games at the end.

### 4/5 — Beaucoup d’énigme c’est bien

*2023-10-20*

J aime les intrigues et casse-têtes

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2023-08-06*

Really wish there was a bonus chapter and some morphing objects but other than that, good story and unique puzzles.

### 3/5 — ちょっとぎこちない。

*2022-08-16*

ゲーム開始して、すこしプレイすると、その先は課金860円が必要になります。
そこまでの感想ですが、
正しい選択をしていても、間違いだと指摘され、
同じ動作を何度か続けると、やっと正しい答えと認識してくれたり。
サクサクはいかないですね。
課金してまではいいかなと思いました。

### 3/5 — 다운로드

*2020-12-02, version 2.1.0*

다운로드가 너무느려요

### 4/5 — Squa4lo

*2020-11-10, version 2.1.0*

Bel gioco peccato che sia a pagamento

### 4/5 — Very good

*2020-01-05*

I really enjoyed the game, but it was too short, and easy.  The visuals and music were lovely.  The hidden object areas were fun.  The alchemy spells were different, but repetitive. 
$10 for a game with no bonus chapter is pricey.

### 4/5 — Good

*2019-03-07, version 2.0.2*

A bit difficult.

### 2/5 — Buggy, short

*2018-08-30*

I’m a big fan of hidden object games, but this one crashed often and was much shorter than I’m used to. Not worth the money.

### 4/5 — Lost Grimoires

*2018-06-27*

The game is very fun. Very innovative on the mini-games. The story line is good as well as the graphics and music. The only downside is for $6.99 it should be longer.

### 4/5 — Fantastic game

*2018-05-17, version 1.0.5*

### 1/5 — Muss bezahlt werden

*2024-10-31*

Nur kurzer Spielspaß. Dann fallen Kosten für die Freischaltung an.

### 1/5 — otay

*2023-03-26*

it keeps crashing.  this is the second game i’ve dl’d and can’t get past the first page

### 1/5 — Lost Grimoires

*2019-01-12*

It was a great game until I got towards the end.  I entered the tent with the magical ring and I assumed I was supposed to find things but there was no list to find anything! No instructions on what to do so I started tapping around, still nothing!  I left the tent and now can’t re-enter!  Have no idea what to do.  Hint is useless.  I either have to start over or just delete!  Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Hate games like this

*2018-04-11*

It took about 20 minutes to get through only to be told the rest of the game needed to be unlocked for a WHOPPING $6.99!  Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Et la remise ??!!!

*2018-03-03*

J'ai acheté le jeu parce que vous promettiez une remise de 60%, hélas j'ai quand même payé 7,99€ !!! Je trouve ça malhonnête !
En ce qui concerne le jeu, c'était sympa sans plus. Pour ce prix là j'ai joué à de bien meilleurs jeux Artifex Mundi, genre Enigmatis...
Pour le jeu j'aurais mis 4 étoiles ...

### 1/5 — So so.

*2017-05-22*

Not one of your better ones.  An actual disappointment really.  

Lacked instructions and/or clarity for what was expected or how to play with regards to puzzles, HO's, etc. Too much tapping required to collect items for inventory & collectibles. 

Graphics not that great, not character voice synchronization. 

Needed diary/journal, not just "to make" potion book.  Could use guide additionally.

Disappointing ending. "Extras" section deficient, for as was inaccessible, confusing and/or did not respond in some sections.

No excitement or stimulation whilst playing the game-Just felt like one was going through the motions.  In short, this game is not really worth the cost, even when on sale.

### 1/5 — 😩

*2016-12-13, version 1.0.1*

### 5/5 — Lovely storyline

*2018-05-28*

The gameplay is fairly simple, but I really enjoyed it. I loved making my own alchemical solutions and the storyline (something really important to me) is a good one, just a bit different and no zombies/dragons/vampires/ghosts... a refreshing change from the miserable games available from other devs!

I loved that the HO scenes weren’t just the simple click and find, too. This is the second excellent game I’ve played by this dev and I’m going to search out more!

### 5/5 — meerkat63 22

*2018-03-07*

Great game! Beautiful graphics. Awesome story line. No time penalties on HOS. No penalty for skipping games.
