### 4/5 — Değerlendirmem

*2025-07-24, version 1.0.5*

Oyun gerçekten çok güzeldi , bulmacaları çözerken birazcık zorlandım ama bence böyle olması gerekiyor onun dışında karakterlerin ilişkilerine biraz daha önem verilebilirdi bunun dışında çok beğendiğim bir oyun oldu.

### 2/5 — Trop laborieux.

*2025-02-23, version 1.0.5*

Énigmes trop complexes pour être ludiques. Et scénario tiré par les cheveux.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-10-12, version 1.0.5*

I love this game but l have to admit, it can be too difficult sometimes. You really can't play at some point unless you buy stars. I’ll keep playing as long as I don’t need to spend much.  UPDATE: I spent $6 for stars and didn’t use half of them…I guess I just lose those since I finished the game even though I downloaded another one.  Won’t spend money again.

### 2/5 — I wouldn’t

*2024-08-24, version 1.0.5*

I don’t like this game. You reach chapter five, and it makes your device lose all sense of touch screen if your on mobile. Even if you try restarting the whole game, your phone, anything it won’t work. It was decent up till that point. No matter how hard you tap on the screen, it won’t do anything or it will barely register and when it says “tap anywhere” it’s very picky on where you actually tap if your trying to find clues and anything.

### 3/5 — Objectives

*2024-08-11, version 1.0.5*

Need clear objectives to play. Hard to follow but interesting so far.

### 4/5 — Super👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

*2024-07-21, version 1.0.5*

İnanilmaz guzel bir oyun bulmaca asigi birisi olarak bayildimm💓 bir puani olay akisinda metinler cok fazla oldugundan Turkce dil destegi olabilirdi diye kirdim onun dısında mukemmel

### 4/5 — Good game but….

*2024-02-15, version 1.0.5*

Actually I’m really enjoying the game..not finished yet because I’m frustratingly stuck on the dance sequence part. This could be a me thing but my taps are not registering when the yellow ball reaches the line. So since you can’t pass that puzzle unless you hit every ball, I’m assuming perfectly, then there’s no leeway it seems. I’ve been stuck on this part for two days now. I don’t know if there is any help I can get for accuracy or if it’s just that I need to keep at it and try not to throw my phone in the process but I’d like to know if anyone else found this puzzle more challenging and if there may be a trick to it. Thanks….i am enjoying the game though otherwise

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-02-05, version 1.0.5*

So fun thank you

### 4/5 — Divertido

*2024-02-01, version 1.0.5*

Me entretiene

### 5/5 — Gooood

*2024-01-17, version 1.0.5*

If you stumbled across this game download it asap , there’s no ads, no annoying buying things every second with real money, and the puzzles actually make you think but they’re not impossible! I absolutely am loving this so far

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2024-01-11, version 1.0.5*

Я долго искала игру,что бы по разгадывать и без донатов,и по чистой случайности наткнулась на эту игру. Хочу сказать,что это самая лучшая игра за последний год,которую я могла видеть.Квесты не сложные,интересные,сюжет интригующий,графика просто прекрасная.

### 5/5 — Murder mystery

*2024-01-06, version 1.0.5*

Super jeu, quelques énigmes sont un peu compliquées

### 4/5 — Challenging but not impossible

*2023-09-22, version 1.0.4*

I really enjoyed this. It made me think, but it wasn’t impossible. I personally hated the dance party, but that is because I am bad at that type of game. My only complaint is you only get 5 free stars daily, and if you want to move quickly through the game but need the odd hint or walkthrough, you might have to spend money.

### 2/5 — Non si apre

*2023-09-20, version 1.0.4*

Sembra molto bello il gioco,come piacciono a me peccato che non si apre nemmeno… compare errore con problemi di server. Peccato!!!!

### 3/5 — Too much…

*2023-09-15, version 1.0.4*

Dialogue to wade through and it’s not interesting. Puzzles and everything else is great.  Fortunately you can skip it but still I’d rather enjoy the whole game.

### 4/5 — Pretty decent

*2023-09-09, version 1.0.4*

It's a little confusing at first figuring out stars and hints . Some instructions for mini games are very vague and time consuming as to what to do even before you start the game. I love that the dialogue is helpful not annoyingly long. The plot flows nicely and I like the different chapters. Graphics are very clear.

### 5/5 — Thanks for a great & thought out game!

*2023-09-05, version 1.0.4*

I’m feo enjoying this game even as an adult. I’ve gone through so many games of different kinds trying to find one that keeps my interest and this one has done it! No nonstop ads or boring matching games.

### 1/5 — Imitation of haiku games

*2024-12-01, version 1.0.5*

They also copied the logo of Haiku games, so if you don’t look very closely you download their games. I don’t like when plagiarism is so evident, just to exploit haiku games popularity.

### 1/5 — Bleahhhhh

*2024-06-15, version 1.0.5*

Scaricato e dopo tre minuti eliminato !!!! Purtroppo tra tanti giochi scaricati e parlo almeno di un centinaio nessuno ke valga la pena di essere giocato! I giochi anni 80/90 non li batte nessuno vi manca l’inventiva!!!

### 1/5 — Lost credit

*2024-04-23, version 1.0.5*

The game froze and when I reloaded all the credit I brought was lost

### 1/5 — Does not open

*2023-06-18, version 1.0.4*

I downloaded the game, but it doesn’t open.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2022-08-28, version 1.0.2*

This game leaves a lot to be desired. There’s no real instructions. If you don’t click directly on the item it doesn’t select it. Everything costs stars which aren’t easy to come by without spending your own money. Regret wasting my time and money on this game.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2022-08-05, version 1.0.2*

There is a glitch in the game where I can’t solve a puzzle to move on to the next one. I have watched the walk throughs and still it won’t work. Otherwise good game. Sad I can’t continue

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2022-06-02, version 1.0.2*

Started going well until I was at a part where it asked me to put in the code and when I put in the right code it said it was wrong so I couldn’t continue the game :/ I knew it was the right code as I checked on YouTube where there are cheats for the game and it put in the same code as I did

### 1/5 — Infernale

*2022-05-04, version 1.0.2*

L’application se fige et impossible de sélectionner les éléments pour les placer

### 1/5 — なんでかなぁ

*2022-04-21, version 1.0.2*

出来ない！始まらない！
辛すぎる

### 1/5 — Big in kitchen

*2022-04-09, version 1.0.2*

I got kicked out of the game after I got the access card. When I went back in the card was out of the drawer but was no longer in the meat door or my list of items. Couldn't get it back.

### 5/5 — Fun Game - No Commercials

*2026-07-15, version 1.0.5*

I play a lot of different murder Mystery games and I will say this one has a lot of different puzzles to solve. They were a challenge but fun. I have 1 suggestion, some of the puzzles kinda need a little instructions. 1 of the Best part, no commercials! Yay! I definitely recommend this game. Do more..

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2026-04-15, version 1.0.5*

I loved this game! Wasn’t too hard, where u have to use tons of hints. Also loved that u didn’t need keys to enter each new chapter (games I’ve played that have that feature make u wait 3+ hours for a new key), u could just move on after u complete each chapter.

### 5/5 — лучшая игра!!!

*2026-02-27, version 1.0.5*

### 5/5 — Unterhaltsam

*2025-09-02, version 1.0.5*

Sehr zu empfehlen, ein schönes Abenteuerspiel

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-07-06, version 1.0.5*

If you like games where you solve puzzle games and escape rooms this is the one

### 5/5 — Montana

*2025-04-26, version 1.0.5*

Great

### 5/5 — Mystery Cruise

*2024-07-21, version 1.0.5*

Really fun game.  Had some difficult levels for sure.

### 5/5 — Fun little mystery that’s completely free to play

*2024-07-03, version 1.0.5*

What a great find this game was! The story is short, but well-written and engaging. As an avid mystery reader, I admit I found the plot a bit predictable. That didn’t detract from my enjoyment at seeing it through, however!
Most of the puzzles are fairly intuitive and handily solved with some thought and time. Furthermore, the protagonist often hints at what you need to do. If you get stuck, you can burn Stars for additional hints or instant solutions. You’re given a generous allotment of free Stars at the start and 5 free ones per day. 
What I found most amazing and great about the game is that “free” actually *means* free. Each successive chapter unlocks immediately upon completing the prior one. No wait times or paying to continue. Best of all, no mandatory ads, no intrusive ad banners, no ads full stop. None. You have the option to purchase Stars or watch ads for hints. I found neither necessary, though I chose to watch a few ads simply to support the game. 
If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to include an explanation of the in-game hint system in the tutorial. The purpose of the buttons, especially those on the left side, is NOT readily apparent. I wound up wasting a good chunk of Stars pressing them to see what they did. While I didn’t need the Stars, it was still a bit annoying. That’s a minor nitpick in an overall excellent and entertaining game.

### 5/5 — Harder than I thought

*2024-06-05, version 1.0.5*

This seemed like an easy game to just run through but it had some challenges that made it a lot of fun. At first I was lost not knowing what to do, but I didn’t know about the clue button giving instructions. After that it was a lot more fun!

### 5/5 — This is one of the good ones!

*2024-03-29, version 1.0.5*

There are a lot of these and this one is done well. Interactive but not too hard and each level lasts a while.
