### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.9*

This is honestly the greatest point and click right behind the room. It is a great follow up from the prologue, and it is very very hard to think that only 2 people made this game because it has perfect story and graphics.
     I will definitely be purchasing chapter 2 and 3. Keep up the good work you two.

### 5/5 — Nice graphics and challenges

*2026-07-22, version 1.1.9*

It has everything I want for a point-and-click adventure game.

### 5/5 — Chill Mystery

*2026-06-03, version 1.1.9*

Low key and interesting. Great graphics and ambience.

### 5/5 — So cool

*2026-06-02, version 1.1.9*

This is a great adventure and puzzle game. Worth every penny.

### 1/5 — Game crashed and lost all my progress

*2026-05-30, version 1.1.9*

Spent 4 hours playing only for the game to crash and lose all my progress. Unable to recover it and not worth it to play through to get to where I was. So frustrating!!

### 5/5 — Top rating

*2026-05-27, version 1.1.9*

Please make more. Your game design is best I’ve played.

### 5/5 — Aaaaye 💃🏾

*2026-04-02, version 1.1.9*

🗣️ Sorry I’m yelling ! BUT I wanna say I’ve never played any hop with such realistic vibes. So cool and u made your first chapter free!! Y’all are the 🐐! Guys just download n play. I accidentally started Aurora hills chapter 1 (Guys the graphics are dope af😍)and started 2. I came back to the App Store to see what others they had and I installed them all 😂.I stopped playing Aurora hills chapter 2. So I can start from the very first game on the list and I’ll work my way up.Normal mode def helps a lot but not too much depending on the quest.Keep making more games I’ve already finished chapter one and on to chapter 2 of 157 👏🏾🫶🏾  . Ok bye ✌🏾😁❣️

### 5/5 — Stumped

*2026-03-20*

Love this game, 3rd time I’ve played it over a couple years or so. Have a problem tho, I’m stuck in the power room/vents and the only hint I get is to check if anything has changed in the control room. No, it HAS NOT, however, looking at the map I see a door which would lead me back to the tunnels… I cannot find that door except on the map! Developers, would you please tell me where I’m going wrong!? I’d like to get on with it and to the next chapter. For this reason you get only a four. Help me and I’ll change my rating! Thanks

### 1/5 — Blinking tv’s in the train room

*2026-02-11, version 1.1.9*

What is with this scene, I change the channels as directed in the clues, but they keep changing to a different channel straight away so I can’t get the number sequence right - 8392
Faulty scene

### 5/5 — Умоляю, сделайте ещё подобные игры под iOS
