### 4/5 — keeps crashing

*2025-07-20, version 1.0.6*

love these game but had to delete an restart game twice as it just doesn’t open

### 1/5 — Glitch 🫤

*2024-09-15, version 1.0.4*

I cant get the mask it totally disappeared from inside the glass …fix it or else i will have to end the game here n delete it

### 2/5 — Bug

*2024-03-16*

Problème avec le coffre et les symboles, je ne peux ouvrir le coffre et continuer le jeu je suis déçue, je pense qu’il s’agit d’un bug

### 2/5 — Extremely Frustrating on iPad

*2023-11-11, version 1.0.3*

My husband and I both attempted to play this on iPad pros and finally gave up.  This game is EXTREMELY unresponsive.  We finally gave up trying to open a safe when even the most exact movements were rejected.  Sometimes I had to tap something 10 or more times to get it to collect.  Sound design could use some work. Voices were odd at best and sometimes the mouth didn’t even move as the character was talking.  The graphics are good and the story is fine which is why I’m giving it 2 stars.

### 3/5 — Problem with the silhouette puzzle in the bonus game

*2023-10-08, version 1.0.3*

The sliders do not move the silhouettes far enough left/right or up/down to outline the coral. It was a good game until this happened

### 3/5 — Pas logique...

*2023-08-08*

Je dois couper du lierre pour avancer. Je dispose d’un gant de baseball et d’une pince coupante... et c’est le gant qu’il faut utiliser ! Bref, c’est pas logique et du coup très dur de comprendre où se diriger et le but de chaque énigme.

### 5/5 — Stupendi!!!!!!!

*2023-05-03*

È un’esperienza di gioco bella, ottima grafica, precisa, puzzle divertenti e di ottimo livello!

### 5/5 — Merci

*2023-02-25*

Merci pour ce jeu d’une bonne qualité, et pour l’histoire et pour le graphisme . Un bon moment de cogitation et de détente ! Qui plus est gratuit , alors encore merci !

**Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci pour vos bons mots ! Nos jeux d'objets cachés aventure sont remplis d'amour pour vous ! Nous travaillons dur pour répondre aux attentes de joueurs comme vous, et nous sommes heureux d'entendre que nous avons atteint la cible pour vous !

### 1/5 — Harp Mini Game

*2023-02-24, version 1.0.2*

You can not complete the harp mini game. Another trash game released without any QA done. Every game you’ve released recently has had glitches.

### 2/5 — Impossible on touch screen

*2023-02-21, version 1.0.2*

Greetings…I have been enjoying your games on my iPad Air 2 on iPadOS 15.7.3 and have given all I’ve played ratings of 5 or 4. Some of the “action” mini games are hard to complete without a controller, but with patience I have gotten past them all except the SAFE mini game in Magic City Detective 1. I know the combination, and have managed to get the first 4 numbers in with great difficulty (the precision required is crazy) but can’t get the last one to work. I am stuck without a way to finish the game other than to pay you to skip it. This being the case I must abandon this game and I won’t be playing any more of your games. Too frustrating to get this far and have to quit.
