### 5/5 — My favorite type of puzzle game

*2026-07-31, version 1.0.12*

Relax. Think. Experiment… the best games are like this. The puzzles in this game are not impossible to figure out and satisfying to solve. Great game!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-14, version 1.0.12*

Though I don’t understand the “Gimme five dollars to play the entire game” mechanic, it’s not too bad. After playing the first game I was surprised to see a sequel came out.

### 5/5 — Nothing short of amazing!

*2026-06-01, version 1.0.12*

As the title says, for me the game and the story line were nothing short of amazing! I enjoyed every second of it. The rating imho is unjustly lower than it deserves. I would really love another sequel, perhaps in the alien home planet. Thanks developers, great outcome!

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2026-04-25, version 1.0.12*

I purchased this game and it keeps telling me I need to buy it.  Says I already bought the game but does not unlock features paid for!!!  RIPOFF!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-03-29, version 1.0.12*

If you like the room games on iPhone this is a definite get

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-26*

Just finished all the chapters, I am big fan of The house of da vinchi and the room now new title added to my list. Hope you guys will make more games like this.

### 2/5 — Недоделка

*2026-03-09*

Недокрученный мир; ошибки, перемудрили , недоделали. Игра резко обрывается и идут титры, хотя я оплатил как за что-то приличное.

### 5/5 — Loved the concept

*2026-03-06, version 1.0.12*

The game was glitch free with a great storyline and accompanying graphics. I don’t understand some of the poor reviews as this was a first class production. Navigation and the games were unique and challenging. Hints could have been more detailed for few that needed to explain the purpose of the puzzle.  There was an option to skip the puzzle if it wasn’t to one’s taste.   I totally enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal game

*2026-03-02, version 1.0.12*

I love everything about this game! The puzzles are fun, intuitive, and visual; the graphics and scenery are drop dead gorgeous, and the music and atmosphere are beautiful and immersive. Highly, highly recommend if you enjoy puzzles, sci fi, and mysterious vibes.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-06, version 1.0.12*

Just the sort of game I love. One glitch where I couldn’t move but it was because I pressed the wrong button first. I just went back to the beginning of the chapter. Please make more.
