### 1/5 — Feel cheated…

*2023-02-19*

Not impressed..I paid to unlock the game and now the game will not load and tells me I’ve purchased it but the game shuts down and goes back to unlock prompt. Is there a fix or can I get my ten bucks back?

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2022-12-24, version 1.0.0*

Not a bad game the puzzles aren’t too difficult which makes the game more playable

### 4/5 — Midnight calling:Anabel

*2020-10-20, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed the game and story line. Games were not too difficult and just let you relax and play.  Thank you!

### 4/5 — Interesting game

*2020-03-09, version 1.0.0*

Had fun navigating the game. I am a novice so enjoy being able to figure out stuff.

### 1/5 — why do games cost CASH

*2020-03-06, version 1.0.0*

This is trash! Why does it cost CASH!!!!!!? I hate this trash game also games with CASH too! >:

### 5/5 — Amazing game as in absolute awe of this game but only gripe

*2020-02-07, version 1.0.0*

It should have gone for longer given the full price paid for it. Brilliant storyline and graphics though.

### 1/5 — Crashes after purchase

*2020-01-29, version 1.0.0*

I want to be able to say this is fun but once I purchased the game, it crashed. I tried reloading it but that didn’t work either. So now I have paid for a game that won’t let me play it. Money back please!

### 1/5 — RIP off

*2020-01-15, version 1.0.0*

As soon as I paid for the app it crashes as soon as I open it.

### 2/5 — Mrs

*2019-08-02, version 1.0.0*

I was enjoying this game and decided to purchase the full game £6.99. Just after the purchase the game crashed and now it won't load .i don't normally pay this price and I am so disappointed can someone please sort this out as I don't want to pay this price for a game I cant play thanks

### 4/5 — Not bad...

*2019-07-13*

If you miss any collectables or stained glass you have no way to go back to see if you can find them. Secret room is only a replay of HO and mini-games - nothing new. Other than the bonus chapter, there is nothing else of value in the Extras.

I am really disappointed that Big Fish has chosen to abandon us iOS customers. I have enjoyed these games for several years and now there aren’t any more of them. ☹️
