### 1/5 — Bug with dark closet

*2026-01-24, version 1.0.0*

The game won’t let me access the dark closet anymore so I can’t complete the game. Support is unhelpful. I want my money back.

### 4/5 — Mystery of the Ancients - Forgotten

*2024-10-08, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed the game but I’ve played better. Can’t say it was worth £6.99 but then not many of them are these days. Graphics were good and the HOP’s were different to a lot of other games. At the start of the game it didn’t tell you what the achievements to collect were or if they did I missed it.

### 5/5 — Little helper

*2024-02-12, version 1.0.0*

I loved the little helper you added to this game. He was cute and it made it a lot of fun.

### 5/5 — Stood the test of time

*2023-09-30, version 1.0.0*

This game was better than some much newer ones I’ve played. A plethora of different HOS made it enjoyable. Wish there were more puzzles,but,you can’t have everything.

### 5/5 — Love interactive hidden

*2023-09-24, version 1.0.0*

I love working out puzzles of hidden items. Plus the story just doesn’t leave you with items that make no sense.

### 4/5 — Quality

*2023-09-18, version 1.0.0*

Very good game to play but quite difficult. 
I rate it 👍

### 1/5 — Can’t get the lever for crane

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.0*

You put in the orange mushrooms towards the end put the 2 stones in the tablet and it closes the pop up window before you can collect the lever. I got stuck here like what looks like many other people and the issue still hasn’t been fixed.

### 2/5 — Unlocking

*2022-10-10, version 1.0.0*

I am having trouble being able to purchase this game. I have a New iPhone 13. Has the last est update. Why can I not purchase this game? say purchase failed. Please try again. I like this game and would like to purchase. Please help.

### 1/5 — Please update/fix these games

*2022-09-01, version 1.0.0*

I’ve paid for all of these games and when I go to play them again it doesn’t work and there are white boxes all over the screen. Please update and fix this. These games aren’t worth $7 to play only once.

### 5/5 — The little HELPER!!!

*2022-03-07, version 1.0.0*

I actually found myself TALKING to the little tree helper throughout this lovely game. What a sweet addition that was.
