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. ### 4/5 — Quality *2023-09-18, version 1.0.0* Very good game to play but quite difficult. I rate it 👍 ### 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. ### 4/5 — The Sealed and Forgotten *2020-04-15, version 1.0.0* This game is really good, loved the puzzles. ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-09-22, version 1.0.0* I liked this game. I love the little tree guy. It is a fun n game. It just has several things that don’t make sense to me. The story line is difficult to understand until the end. I guess they meant it to be that way. The main reason J gav it a 4 star is just some of the things you put together are randomly m and not logical. It is still a fun game. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game *2019-08-20, version 1.0.0* Loved the little “Groot” like character. Amazing graphics. Could have been a bit longer but easily a four star rating. ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel ohne Hänger *2019-04-24* Gutes spannendes Spiel. Für meinen Geschmack zu wenig WBS und Minigames. Flottes Durchspielen mit schnellem Tipp. Schauplätze sehr schön gestaltet. Abwechslungsreiche Aktionen. ### 3/5 — Meh *2019-02-03, version 1.0.0* Only 25 scenes in the main game, maybe 5 in the bonus, so a fairly short game overall. Puzzles were varied, with some arcade style as well. Story could have been better, they never explain why the guy was murdered in the house and where the curse came from, as if they started to take the story in one direction, then changed their mind and went another. Also why would you, the detective, be the missing ingredient in the ritual? Hops were interactive, list, and silhouette. I usually like this developer, but this one felt rushed to production and suffered for it. 3.5 stars rounded down to 3 because it’s just not a 4 star game to me. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game *2019-01-12, version 1.0.0* Really enjoyed this game ### 5/5 — Great game! *2019-01-11, version 1.0.0* This is such a well-designed game. The storyline was interesting and it has just the right level of clues and puzzles. The artwork (backgrounds, characters, etc) is also great. ### 3/5 — Enjoying game but ..... *2018-09-25, version 1.0.0* Have got to a point where I can do anything. So don’t know what to do. ### 2/5 — Fun if you can finish it, I assume... *2018-07-09, version 1.0.0* Fun game with some pretty original puzzles, but there’s a glitch on literally the last task of the main game that can prevent you from finishing and the only remedy is starting over. Not okay. ### 5/5 — Versiegelt *2018-07-06* Tolle spiel😍🙌🏾 ### 3/5 — Where’s the Lever?? *2018-07-01, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this game....until I didn’t. I got almost to the end of the regular game & for some reason wasn’t able to get the lever. Hint button was no help. Map showed no locations where there was anything to be done. The walkthrough was no help either, because it gave you no clue on where the lever was supposed to come from. So, I don’t finish the game or get access to the bonus game. What a waste of time & money.... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Non scaricato *2020-12-29* Lento, si impalla e non merita. ### 1/5 — Bugs, bugs and bugs. A week later, no reply from customer support. *2020-09-23, version 1.0.0* The video titles won’t play thus unable to play ### 1/5 — Bad Sound Tracks *2020-07-30, version 1.0.0* This needs maintenance. More than one sound track at same time. Doesn’t run properly. ### 1/5 — Glitch Preventing Completion *2018-06-17, version 1.0.0* Near the end and I can’t go any further due to a glitch. Having paid for the game I expect this to be fixed or refunded ### 1/5 — Stuck in bonus game *2018-04-01, version 1.0.0* Okay game but now stuck in bonus game with nothing to do. I have half a staff, a rag and half a crown. Map shows nowhere to do anything and hints says nothing to do here in every room. This getting stuck in these games seems to be happening more and more. A little more time needs to be spent on making sure there are no bugs like this especially for a game that costs $7. ### 1/5 — Poor Support *2018-02-09, version 1.0.0* Based on forum comments, its the usual blame game. The developer sends the user to Apple and Apple sends the user to the developer. I have experienced several bugs in this game. Of course, the only recourse is to reinstall the app. If you paid full price for this game, I feel for you. ### 1/5 — Glitches out *2018-01-23, version 1.0.0* A glitch towards the end of the game meant I couldn’t finish. I reset my profile and played the whole thing again only to encounter another glitch a short time after the first one, argh! So frustrating!! I’ve abandoned the game now, I’m not trying again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable and Fun *2021-05-15, version 1.0.0* I just started the game and am enjoying the story line. I am very impressed about my little helper. He put a smile on my face this morning. My little helper had a task to complete and when he fell, he got back to dust off his knees. 🤣 I love the attention detail and the humor. Thanks for the fun game. ### 5/5 — Brilliant game. *2021-01-10, version 1.0.0* I don’t usually write reviews but this game deserves one. Good storyline, graphics and colours are brill and I want one of the little tree things but I’d have to keep it separate from my little Shi Tzu in case she thinks it’s a stick. Well done to the people that made this game. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2020-03-14, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Liked it *2020-02-19, version 1.0.0* Especially the short skip times. The story was a little convoluted at times and i had to use the hint to see what i need to be doing but still a very nice game ### 5/5 — Einfach toll *2020-02-11* Ein fantastisches Spiel, mit allem was man sich wünscht. ### 5/5 — Toot *2019-07-21, version 1.0.0* Really good game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
