### 1/5 — 日本語

*2024-02-16*

日本語対応してないんかいー！

### 5/5 — Game feedback,

*2024-01-25, version 1.9.2*

Great little game!

### 1/5 — Could be a really good game

*2023-11-30, version 1.9.2*

I hate ads and most games out there are mostly ads. This game has two parts. A storyline ( which is good but sorry to say hasn’t been updated in over 6 months) and the game part. I like the different weapons you can use and choose to watch the ads but they aren’t forced on you. I’ve been trying to contact zomad for months with never a reply. My game is frozen and now I’ll see if they will help. I can’t connect it to fb ( they need more than one method of connecting your game to than just fb) . I finished the first 10 episodes quickly and they still haven’t let us know when the “ coming soon “ update will be. Other than these issues it’s actually a good game. Hopefully they care about their game to start doing more.

### 3/5 — To many ads

*2023-11-05, version 1.9.2*

Great game but it’s ad overkill which is the only reason why I wont continue to play. Causes the game to be more annoying than fun

### 1/5 — Wow

*2023-08-24*

I first started playing months ago. With the storyline and the game together it made it different from most games and better. If you watch everything explode you get more $$. If you watch the videos you double your points. When I reached level 10 it read “ update coming soon “. 3-4 months later no update. I play the game because it’s better than most. The customer service is nonexistent. I message them every month and never a reply. But today was it for me. I noticed if I spend 1.99 every day or two i have no problem winning the game. Today I decided no more money until they update the game. But I’ve been on this one level since yesterday. Today I had it beat until the game literally cheated in front of me. If I were to have spent money it would never of happened. I’m amazed that people are so greedy to do this to their customers for a few bucks! In all fairness I admit most if not all the games available cheat to get your few bucks. I’m not going to be one of them.

### 1/5 — Had Promise Ads Take From It.

*2023-08-05, version 1.9.2*

Had to remove it within 5 minutes of playing it. Thought I had found a fun game similar to Homescapes, but there was an ad before every level, and after it. Too many ads way too quick into it. HARD NO.

### 5/5 — Nice little game

*2023-05-03, version 1.9.2*

This is a good little mystery game.  Clues do not cost real money.  There are days, but that is fine with me.

### 4/5 — Please update Maggie’s

*2022-08-02, version 1.9.2*

Please update your game!
Thanks

### 5/5 — Can I ask a question?

*2022-06-21, version 1.9.2*

I’ve been asking myself this ever since I got the game, why is their a young woman on the thumbnail, when the main character is an old woman? I mean, I believe I speak for everyone in this situation as I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who believed the woman to be Maggie. So, who’s the woman in the thumbnail?

### 3/5 — Full of spelling errors

*2022-05-23, version 1.9.2*

The game is quite fun but the dialogue is so full of spelling errors, it’s irritating.
