### 4/5 — 世界観かわいい

*2026-06-27*

ちょっとだけ理不尽だなぁって感じるところはありました、でもそれ以外は世界観も可愛くて楽しかったです

### 4/5 — Bring back some of the classics!

*2026-06-21*

Please bring back some of your older escapes like Device, Room Delta, and Sphinx!

### 4/5 — 万事俱备，只差翻译

*2025-09-14*

球球来个翻译吧，提示都是文字形式的……

### 4/5 — Clever again - but a bit too clever in places!

*2024-11-03, version 3.2.0*

Really enjoyed this developers game again. Have played most of them now. The only reason to deduct a star is there was one puzzle that just made no sense at all - the flip-book with the dominoes-style clue.

I knew what I had to do, but couldn’t get the right combo. So I used a hint which only confirmed I was using the right process.

Eventually I went to a walkthrough on you-tube, which gave me the right combo, but I still didn’t get why it was that answer!
However overall another good game that really got my grey cells going.

### 4/5 — Great, but hints are broken

*2024-09-15*

The hints don’t work. At all. It’s sad, because this game is so good otherwise, but it’s way too hard.

### 5/5 — Love

*2024-03-26*

This one took me a bit longer to get into than some of the others by this dev but by the end I was super excited. Another smash hit from mani

### 5/5 — 这个游戏不错，制作精良难度不算大

*2024-03-10*

在棋盘那里卡住好几天，突然有一天开窍了，这个谜题其实很简单

### 4/5 — Enjoyed it!

*2024-01-22*

This is an adorable game with pleasing graphics and intelligent puzzles. I will say that, however, that I was a little frustrated with the puzzle whose solution, in my opinion, is incorrect.
The hint seems to indicate that the doll needs to face all the directions she would be facing as she moved through the maze. If this were the case, the solution would need to be far more turns than what was required to “solve” the puzzle. Let us consider the doll as the center of a clock and each 45° rotation she turns as in the clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) directions. Her initial starting position is facing 6 o’clock. She would then need to turn once clockwise (CW) to face 9 o’clock, CW again to face 12, and CW a third time to face 3, just to get to the spot directly above her. The entire solution would then be this:
CW-CW-CW

CCW-CCW-CCW

CW-CW-CW-CW

CCW-CCW-CCW-CCW-CCW

CW

Perhaps some clearer directions could help solve the discrepancy.

Regardless, I still really enjoyed the puzzle as did I enjoy the other similar puzzles by this developer! Thank you!

### 1/5 — なんだかなあ

*2025-01-11*

アイテムの使い方がわかりにくい

### 1/5 — マトリョーシカ

*2024-11-13*

楽しかった！

### 1/5 — 迷路

*2022-07-09*

正解が複数あるものにはそれへの対応が必要だ。しかし、それがない。よって、このゲームは不完全で無価値なものと判断しました。

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2025-11-08, version 3.3.1*

Some of the actions were difficult to perform as app clunky. Eg wiping the photo frame

### 2/5 — マトリョーシカのボタン

*2025-01-23*

マトリョーシカのボタンで行き詰まりました。
ヒント見ても攻略見てもなんでそうなるのかが全く分からず。

### 2/5 — 迷路が、、

*2024-10-20*

他の方のレビューと同じく、迷路がどうしても解けずにギブアップ。右、左だけ回すのか頭を戻すのか、私には難しすぎました。

### 2/5 — 鉄格子？

*2024-08-12*

鉄格子が両方とも閉まってしまい、マトリョーシカを一つも置けなくなりました

### 2/5 — Looked good

*2020-04-18, version 3.0.1*

Started this game but couldn’t wipe or wet the photo frame so had to uninstall:(

### 3/5 — ヒントが低レベル

*2021-10-26*

何回やってもマトリョーシカのボタンは意味わからん

### 3/5 — 迷路が意味不明

*2019-01-29*

迷路の謎は攻略見てもよく分かりませんでした。

*2024-08-30*

It was pretty easy, but I still liked it. It was still really fun. Those were some pretty cool puzzles. I actually didn’t even use any hints? I of course love the game anybody reading this you should try it out 5/5 You should check out this developers other games it’s such. It’s so cool. They’re all very fun. Check them out. And to the developer, you should make more I believe in you that’s it :} oh I’m just adding to this a little like two seconds after editing this now I’m not making fun of the people who used hint’s but they were very simple no offense
