You’ve been asked to help a young woman who’s lately been troubled by some very unusual nightmares. Apparently, she’s being harassed by the spirit of a witch who died centuries ago, with eyes that burn like fire.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2025-01-02, version 1.0.0*

I like it. It challenges my mind

### 1/5 — Purchase Not Found

*2024-10-26, version 1.0.0*

I purchased this game some time ago and it indicates it’s in the cloud, however, when I click on Restore Purchase, it says purchase not found. This happens on most of The Big Fish Games. I’m not paying again for the game. Why is this happening?

### 4/5 — Eyes of fire

*2023-03-16*

Good game some of the puzzles were way too hard and then others were way too easy but all in all I had a good time playing it.

### 5/5 — Really enjoyed this game

*2023-02-15*

It was fun, hard, lasts a long time… everything I look for in an adventure puzzle game. Love Big Fish games

### 5/5 — Good Entertainment

*2022-03-30*

This game is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Intriguing, dark, intense, and pretty defined nice animation graphics. It’s easy and on the mini games you have a choice to play easy or hard. I really like that feature. No other Big Fish game I’ve played has that feature, which I think makes this game unique easy plot, not too difficult, good graphics. Entertaining. Five stars all around. Thanks Big Fish.

### 5/5 — Œil du feu

*2021-11-19, version 1.0.0*

Excellent il en faut d’autres comme celui la

### 5/5 — Like it

*2021-01-31, version 1.0.0*

Great game🇨🇦

### 1/5 — I don’t get it??

*2021-01-07*

I don’t understand how these iOS games keep getting 5 stars. There is not one that is not just a revamp of a desktop game and it is very rare that one is even close to original. 
This one is certainly no exception. It almost as if the developers cut and pasted the puzzles and missing objects from one game with a stupid story to another with even a worse story. 
I have purchased several games throughout the COVID scare to pass the time and was happy to see that most games were only $3 for the end of the year sale. I’m certainly glad I didn’t pay full price for this one!  
Until I see some games, or even A game, that is not a 5 year old game claiming to be new, I’m done with big fish. I’m tired of being one of the 25 million suckers!

### 1/5 — Awful and unplayable

*2020-12-03, version 1.0.0*

I wanted a hidden object game, but this is some kind of role playing task-based nonsense. Awful like most of the big fish games over the past few years. Awful.

### 5/5 — Pretty nifty

*2020-08-26, version 1.0.0*

The story line was pretty much the same as most games of this sort but the game itself was fun
