### 4/5 — Really fun but...

*2020-08-06*

Short for the price I paid.

### 3/5 — Innovative Story with Unsatisfying Ending

*2019-01-26*

I love how they make this game a science/history based hidden object mystery. The story line keeps you thinking and I really enjoyed the mini games that they had to offer. Good length but I would have preferred a shorter story that kept me guessing rather than a long game with a predicted outcome. Art, design, sound, and music quality are as superb as ever. I’m only giving it three stars because compared to the other Artifex Mundi games, that’s where it lands.

### 4/5 — ストーリー短め！

*2018-10-31, version 1.0*

ボーナスステージも無し！

### 5/5 — Impressive!

*2018-10-17*

Though I wished that there was a bonus game, I was overall impressed by the game’s storyline. After playing the demo, I knew that I just had to see it through. Fingers crossed for a sequel! Great job Artifex Mundi!

### 3/5 — Так себе

*2018-09-25*

Интересно, ярко красочно, но слишком коротко. 
Стоит 500 рублей, а контента на пару часов. 
Пожалела о покупке.

### 5/5 — Modern tales

*2018-01-27, version 1.0*

Gioco molto bello, anche comprensibile

### 4/5 — Attention à la traduction

*2018-01-17*

Pas mal, son défaut est essentiellement une traduction approximative

### 5/5 — Engrossing, Exciting, Well-Executed

*2017-12-11*

Many inventive puzzles and HOPs, customized settings, beautiful graphics.

I just wish there is a Bonus game!

### 4/5 — 😀

*2017-12-05, version 1.0*

I enjoyed the game just storyline wasn’t my cup of tea

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2017-12-03*

Интересная. Хороший сюжет и графика.

### 3/5 — ...하하

*2017-12-03, version 1.0*

이제 artifex mundi 게임들도 7.69달러네...

### 5/5 — On second thought...

*2017-12-01*

I wanted to remove one star when I finished because there was no BONUS GAME! Very disappointed about that. Would have never paid the $6.99 if I had known that fact. Bah!Humbug Artifex!

### 1/5 — 연구실같은곳에

*2020-01-17, version 2.0.2*

탈출이안되요 가첫는데 어찌나가는지 
힌트도 안되고

### 1/5 — Платно

*2018-11-27, version 1.0*

Интересно, но через пару минут платно..
7$ она не стоит

### 1/5 — Si blocca

*2018-01-01, version 1.0*

Sarebbe bello se non si bloccasse ovviamente dopo aver pagato più di 7 euro 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — あーそういうことか

*2017-11-29, version 1.0*

値上がりしたのか〜。買い辛くなりました。残念。

### 1/5 — えっ？？

*2017-11-24, version 1.0*

ゲーム最初の画面で「アンロック30%Off」で600円ってマジ⁇

### 1/5 — ？？

*2017-11-22, version 1.0*

期間限定40%offで600円ですか？

### 2/5 — 値段が高い！

*2017-11-26, version 1.0*

30%オフで600円は高いです！ボーナスもなければ、ストーリーも短い。
日本語訳も片言で不満足。

### 3/5 — Was okay

*2019-12-31, version 2.0.2*

Got a bit boring towards the end for me with all the mechanical mumbo jumbo. I liked the concept with Albert Einstein and Coco Chanel when they were younger. Some of the tasks were too repetitive. 3 stars from me.

### 3/5 — Не загрузился((

*2019-02-23*

Пишет, что куплен и загрузится без доп платы, но так и не загружается(((

### 3/5 — Where is the discount?

*2019-01-28*

App says 60% off in game but still wants to charge full price

*2020-12-18, version 2.1.0*

### 5/5 — Grade A

*2019-04-29*

Another Sureshot from A Mundi.  Loved the story line, puzzles, HOS. Nicely put together.  And I was able to play my own music if I chose to.  I love it when games allow me to do that.

### 5/5 — A much appreciated relief from the Dark

*2019-01-29*

This game is so much fun compared to most these days. Nothing gothic, no giant evil beasts, or anything scary. very intelligent and crafty with the historical scientist characters and inventions.
i have enjoyed it thoroughly!
