I have spent years trying to find this game from when it was added to the App Store. It’s such an amazing game that I spent countless hours playing and miss it so much and the nostalgia it would bring. Such an amazing game it deserves to come back. I really hope the developer decides to make a comeback soon!

### 1/5 — Old Favourite, But…

*2021-07-04*

I absolutely enjoyed this game, but it doesn’t run on current iOS systems. I hope one day they may fix that, I would love to revisit, but given how much time has passed, I highly doubt it’ll happen.

### 1/5 — Can’t play

*2020-03-30*

You guys need to update your game to work with my iOS please

### 1/5 — PLEASE READ

*2018-01-20, version 1.0.2*

It won’t work for IOS 11. Please fix! This game has so much nostalgia for me and I would like to play it again.

### 1/5 — No.

*2017-07-31*

This game is far to obscure to even comprehend and no one should waste their time trying to decipher its ridiculous puzzles. There is literally no way to complete it without a guide. Also it somehow requires "button mashing" on your touch screen to figure out what the hell you're even supposed to do, and then when you finally figure it out, you feel like an idiot and literally dread the next segment. Do not play.

### 1/5 — Worst game

*2016-07-12, version 1.0.2*

Your game is so bunk. Waste of your time, and mine. One of the worst I've ever seen.

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2014-11-02, version 1.0.2*

Great idea!  Potential to be a great game. However, the puzzles are almost impossible to figure out without hints. Of course you can buy hints with real money converted into game coins! Not scary, but a convoluted story line at best. Oh and to completely finish the game you have to buy another story line for this app.

### 1/5 — Creepy

*2014-10-07*

This game is creepy and weird, a little boring though. Not much of a story line

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2014-09-05*

Finished chapter one. Now can't get past the loading screen on chapter two. Very frustrating when I download a game and can only play for 5 minutes. Please fix this

### 1/5 — Pathetic game and BORING!!!!!!

*2014-05-20*

Too slow, crappy picture and stupid puzzles.

### 1/5 — DO NOT PLAY!!!!

*2014-02-19*

Game is very repetitive and boring, so dark that you can barley see what you are doing. Also, it erased what I had just done every time I exited the game. Overall has major glitches and is boring to save you time do not play at all

### 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

### 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

### 5/5 — Please update this game

*2021-12-16, version 1.0.2*

Please update this amazing game, I had not played it in a long time and the only way for me to play it again was to get a Chinese version of murder room for android.
