Lucy Dreaming Prequel
Why is it unnecessarily complicated with four buttons to either Look At, Pick Up, Sniff or Use? Why can’t you just Select and the object interacts already like every game???
Great game
Loved this game as maniac mansion was one of my favourite games of my childhood and this is very much like it. Just wish I could afford to buy the full version.
Terrible Voice
I started with the prequel fully intent to buy the complete game - So glad that I didn’t!
The voice actor for the little girl is awful! A pathetic middle-aged British woman with a tone of an annoying neighbor. Like nails on a chalkboard. I couldn’t handle it. Since puzzle games like this require you to listen to the dialogue for figuring out the next action, it was torture within minutes.
Deleted after less than five minutes of play.

Response from developer
Fair dos, some people enjoyed the (award winning) voice acting. If you don’t, you can always turn the volume off and narrate it with a less annoying voice in your head.
Awesome demo
I want to purchase the full game, seems a bit expensive however, is it longer than most adventurer games?
Slow Speaking
I have completely deleted and reloaded this demo three times, and it continues to speak in slow-mo. Sad. Because it really looked interesting.

Oh no, sorry! That’s really odd, I’ve not come across that bug before. It wonder if it’s conflicting with another app.
Buenísima
Me ha encantado, con referencias a monkey island muy divertidas. Gracias por esta aventura, esperando la versión en castellano del juego completo!
Nice, quirky, but!
This game was lovely and I really wish I could play further like I normally would when pleased with a demo. As an avid independent game development supporter I have never paid that much ($14.99) for an iPad game. I bet if you lowered your price by at least half your sales would go up. But that’s just like my opinion man…

Great but overpriced
This demo was lovely and I really wish I could play further like I normally would when pleased with a demo. However, $14.99 is just outrageous. It’s more than Broken Age, the Myst game’s remastered and all the Room games combined. I mean the game is quirky and all but come on…
Well crafted adventure game
Thanks for the detail. This is a fun old school adventure game requiring some lateral thinking. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Similar to Thimbleweed Park.
Can’t believe how awful these reviewers are
Short version: Please take a moment to rate & review positively if you liked this or even if you just support the genre, bc it really matters to indie devs. Don’t let the whiners & selfish chumps dictate the game’s average, and make it harder for point & click adventure games to be made.
Full version:
People give a low rating and flat out admit they didn’t play it; stuck on a puzzle so it must be a glitch; “omg my precious sensibilities were triggered” by content in a game that says repeatedly up front it’s full of dark psychological humor, so low rating; and the eternal entitled classic- “I loved it but then the greedy dev wanted to be compensated for their work, how dare they?!” (from the same oafs who get addicted to increase-your-town/army’s-number-in-endless-linear-progression business model “games” that are “free,” and end up getting suckered into pointless IAPs).
And despite these petty, selfish people's petty, selfish whining, the developer bends over backward to be incredibly nice to them. Do devs of your so-called free games with a million players ever write genuine responses to reviews? Has anybody from a company churning out the endless parade of clones ever offered to personally assist a completely unreasonable person with getting a refund?? Of course not; since they simply buy their ratings & reviews in bulk from one of the many websites providing that service. They don’t care about legit grievances, much less the ridiculous ones; indeed, most don’t even bother with a standard form reply. They release products that required only the bare minimum of creative or cognitive effort to make & even less than to play; mass production exploiting an unregulated market. They take no risk, design everything from proven profitable bases, and keep the servers running as long as the money flows.
Compare that to this ONE person, doing all the work of creating an actual interactive story that’s entirely original. No assured profits, just the opposite. Even a really good game in this genre can fail to recoup costs, let alone provide any income whatsoever to the developer. Indie devs take a huge risk out of real passion for the project. No bought ratings here. All that, and to show such concern for players even when they’re jerks… remarkable.
The worst part is that even after all the dev could possibly do for these horrible people, they haven’t updated their ratings. I guess that shouldn’t be a surprise– the entitled, 100% self-centered, thoughtless reviewers won’t suddenly become decent people, most probably never even saw the dev’s efforts.
So why the rant, if it doesn’t matter? Because not everyone is a jerk, most of us are just lazy. What I ask of anyone who read this or skipped to the end is this: If you liked this very generous amount of free preview, or the full game which is now available, take a minute to write a real quick positive review. It doesn’t have to be a novel like this one. Just a sentence to support the developer who put so much effort into keeping classic point and click adventures alive. Or at the very least, tap the 5* rating, no review required. And if you have some little grievance, don’t give a lower rating until you’ve tried contacting the dev first. Reviews aren’t the place to seek tech support. This dev genuinely wants to help no matter how big a doofus you are. Let them try before taking a dump on the game’s reputation.
Finally, if you think the full game’s cost is too high, please post a review directing us all to your equal or better game that you offer for less. No game? That’s ok, just tell us where you work, so we can all show up expecting the business's product or service to be free.

Top mais jeu complet pas en français?? 😫
J’ai adoré cet avant goût mais le jeu complet coûte assez cher et en plus n’est lui pas proposé en français. C’est vraiment dommage, pas question que je paye 17€ pour un jeu en anglais.
Unable to rate ::((
Game will not open despite several different "try this" tips. iPhone 11 Pro, current ios version 16.4.1.
I'd love to try this!! ::((

Response from developer
Updated response: The latest update should hopefully all be working on the latest iOS versions now. Please feel free to give it a whirl again! :)
Crash on launch
Doesn’t work, crashes on launch. Will keep an eye out for update as looks like it might be fixed soon and is caused by iOS itself!
Brilliant!
Such a well-executed game. Puzzles were challenging yet achievable and not frustrating. Clever story lines. Loved it!
Brilliant! Go buy the full game!
Absolutely loved this little game. Gives you a great taster as to the quality of the full game. Play this then go buy the full game!
Hat Spass gemacht
Erinnert bisschen an den alten Klassiker Maniac Mansion.
Great
So looking forward to the full game. Funny, quirky, detailed, enjoyable.
LOL 18 Euro
18 Euro f. das Hauptspiel. Unfassbar. Damit wird diese App nun obsolet.
Super jeu point and click - 100% gratuit
J’ai passé un agréable moment à jouer avec ce jeu. Les énigmes sont accessibles, pas besoin d’aller chercher la soluce sur internet.
Promising
Nice! I’ll buy the game when it comes out :)
