### 5/5 — Super Spiel mit Köpfchen

*2026-05-26*

Britischer Humor. Tolle Rätsel, coole Story mit vielen Locations. In animierten Sequenzen sind eher mau, aber das ist für. Ich zweitrangig.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-08-25*

This was a great game! The beginning was kinda slow and I was worried I had downloaded a dud. BUT… it got so good! Several scenes and objects to interact with, I love that they had voice acting for dialogue and the characters moved when they spoke. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was a little difficult to walk around the environments. Other than that, great game! I highly recommend downloading this! The storyline was great too and the timeframe the story was set in was so cool! Def going to play the second one!

### 5/5 — Sehr spannendes Abenteuer

*2024-10-28*

Das Spiel ist auf jeden fall das Geld wert. Man bezahlt einmal und hat für längere Zeit richtig viel Spaß an den kniffligen Aufgaben. Es ist Geduld gefragt, wenn man alle Aufgaben und Rätsel ohne Hilfe lösen möchte. Man kann allerdings die Zeit darüber vergessen. Ein großartiges Spiel!

### 5/5 — Nastolgie Pur

*2024-09-23*

Schöne Story, spannende Sequenzen.

### 5/5 — Miss

*2024-07-11*

I love the game but when I get to the climax I find it hard to know who to choose Richard or Fenton for each stage I wish there was a better walkthrough showing which character does what task all the other walkthroughs don’t help at all so I keep making the same mistake on the wrong person

### 1/5 — Kein Ton

*2024-01-19, version 1.3.1*

Bei mir wird leider kein Ton abgespielt und den App Support gibt es wohl auch nicht mehr. Gibt es da eine Lösung ?

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-10-13, version 1.3.1*

Loved every moment!

### 5/5 — Klasse Spiel!

*2023-09-07, version 1.3.1*

Tolles Spiel, ich mag diese sehr! Manchmal sind die Dialoge etwas lang aber sonst wunderbar!

### 1/5 — Inventar fehlt

*2023-09-03, version 1.3.1*

Nachdem man Thomas im Zelt befreit hat und die fremde Uniform anzieht ist das Inventar weg. Im Inventar ist nur noch Thomas. An dieser Stelle geht es dann so nicht mehr weiter. Schade

### 4/5 — schönes Vintage Adventure

*2023-06-22, version 1.3.1*

🌞gut:
langer Spielspaß
schöne Szenerien
gute Sprachausgabe
🌧️schlecht:
teils viel zu lange Dialoge
zu viele selbst ablaufende Szenen ohne Interaktion
bei 4:3 Screen fehlt schon Mal der Rand
es gibt Videos, bei denen der Screen des iPad Pro schwarz bleibt
