### 5/5 — Please update!

*2026-03-28, version 1.0.2*

I miss this game, it used to be one of my favorites as a teen! Would love to see it updated to work on modern phones

### 3/5 — I want to play it again…

*2026-01-29*

Please, please update the version
And I hope I can play it again

### 5/5 — Please update for 2025!!!

*2025-06-03, version 1.0.2*

I miss this game!!! It was fun and needs to come back please!!

### 5/5 — 2025 Update???👀

*2025-05-07*

Playing this game with my friends in middle school was one of my core memories growing up. I recently reconnected with that friend and I wish I could play this game with them for the nostalgia and the fun. Pls update, it would make my year and I would literally give my firstborn child to have this game back 😭

### 5/5 — シナリオの深みが最高

*2024-08-12*

よくある「数打ちゃ当たる」と言わんばかりの、謎解き部分しかない(しかも謎解きがこじつけな)3D脱出ゲームとは大違い。こういうゲームならいくらでもやりたいし、実際アナザー含め何周もしました。 脱出することに意味があり、ストーリーがあり、焦りがあり、安堵がある。 縦横比がそのままで左右黒でもいい、画素数そのままで粗くても一向に構いません。 バージョンアップで現行OSに対応していただける日を、今でも待っています。

### 5/5 — UPDATE GAME PLS

*2023-02-28, version 1.0.2*

Pls update the game 🥺

### 5/5 — UPDATE TO CURRENT IOS PLEASE

*2023-02-05*

This was one of the first iOS games I downloaded when I was 13 or so, still to this day the number one mobile game I’ve ever played. Please update!!!!

### 5/5 — Please Update The Game

*2023-01-05*

Hi!! I used to play this game as a kid when I had an ipod lol. For the past few days something got me thinking of this game and Ellie (Ellie I played first then downloaded this one shortly after) But I remember as a kid I sometimes couldn’t figure out some of the puzzles lol and would make me quit the game.. Now that I’m very very much older and wiser I wanted to see if I’d actually be able to figure out the puzzles faster and actually beat the games lol😂 Downloading Ellie as I’m typing this out, but I can’t download this game because it’s outdated for the current IOS 😭😭😭 Plzzzz update I desperately searched to find these 2 girls and only get to play one when I reallyyyy wanted to play this one again! Pleaseeeee and thank you!! 😇

### 5/5 — Give it a try

*2022-11-25*

This game is my number 1 still after all the mobile games I’ve played since it release. You can’t beat its storytelling, it’s puzzles, or it’s music. During my first playthrough I was terrified which really means something for a mobile game. I wish this game would come back to more updated versions of iOS so I could play it many more times.

### 5/5 — Bring it back

*2021-12-29*

I used to play this a while back and still think of it from time to to I love to see it come back with an update or sequel or something
