Can’t shrink screen .. very frustrating. Don’t get this with I phone . Looks great would have enjoyed. There’s no help button either to be able to ask what to do…. Man I really was enjoying ### 4/5 — Great game with annoying glitch. *2025-06-20, version 1.2.0* I was really liking the game until just before I got to the mansion. Every time I clicked something, my inventory minimizes and makes it really difficult to use any item. ### 2/5 — Constant glitches *2025-04-25, version 1.2.0* I’m barely through the game and the inventory list just disappeared. I’ve turned it off and back on and cleared my cache multiple times just to have the same glitch. Please fix this. ### 2/5 — False advertising *2025-04-17, version 1.2.0* Don't like how they let you play 25% of the game and then charge u $6.99. Shouldn't be in free games . False advertising ### 3/5 — Alright game, poorly designed. *2025-02-08, version 1.1.8* The game itself is pretty fun but the display is very glitchy. The inventory overlaps with the bottom trigger of the screen so you repeatedly exit the game when trying to click and drag things from it. The inventory will also refuse to open or pop up and down repeatedly without being accessed it makes the game almost impossible to play. ### 3/5 — Inventory bar glitches *2025-01-04, version 1.1.8* I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this game, up until the inventory bar keeps ‘minimising’ then when I need to use things uve collected to progress through the game, I press the inventory tab and it removes me to another room! So much so, I’ve got fed up and have deleted the game… I restarted the game 4 times and I’m still having this issue! Please look into this! ### 2/5 — Good but… *2024-08-18, version 1.1.6* I liked the story and the game, but it’s very difficult to navigate on a phone. The item menu is in the same spot as the back button so you constantly go back when trying to use an item. What a waste of money as it’s really unplayable on a phone. ### 2/5 — Game form is defective *2024-08-16, version 1.1.6* Using an iPhone landscape doesn’t work with game as your inventory bar is right where your phone menu bar is. ### 3/5 — Eh *2023-12-19, version 1.1.4* The game is fine and not to difficult. I like the options they give you in order to solve puzzles, play a game or skip. I dont like that you have to pay to finish the game. And every game from them is like this. ### 3/5 — Encharted kingdom *2022-09-26* Format des Bildschirms ist zu groß. So liegen einige Bedienelemente außerhalb und man kann irgendwann nicht weiter spielen ### 3/5 — 12/2021 *2021-12-22, version 1.1.3* Crashed several times. Raised issue but not heard anything. Had to use ‘easy’ to get it to work. Game as many games no good for colour blind people on colour related tasks. Had to actual cheat and look up how to get colours in correct place. Game would sometimes have inventory static open and sometimes would open and close to bottom of screen. Game good otherwise. Graphics enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-11-18, version 1.1.3* I Enjoy playing every single you’ve created, not only are the graphics and story’s , puzzles Brilliant. But you take the time to update and maintain the games. Keep it up!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun game but glitches *2026-06-14, version 1.2.0* Love the game but my inventory bar doesn’t show on all levels and I had to buy deluxe for hints to access the inventory ### 1/5 — Платная игра(( *2026-01-09* Через определенное время игры тебя ставят пере выбором… или покупай или для тебя игра окончена. Зачем демонстрировать игру как бесплатную? ### 1/5 — Would be 5 stars if… *2025-05-27, version 1.2.0* Please for the love of all things good…fix the darn problem with the inventory and back buttons being on top of each other. The setup is so good and what I did play I loved the theme of, but even though I paid for the game I will never finish it or buy another from you unless this update. I do not want to go back and forth 50 times every time I open my inventory. I don’t know if it’s any better on iPad but it’s horrific on my iPhone. Please. Please. Please patch it. I want to know how this ends ### 1/5 — Puzzles *2025-03-08, version 1.1.9* The maze puzzle has a flaw. After you cross boards won’t turn off the electricity. The mini game where you find the musical instruments, at least for me would not find the violin. ### 1/5 — Wtf! *2024-09-15* The game was great really enjoying it, paid for the full thing, then halfway through it cancels out, said that my profile on the game was corrupted & had been deleted & wanted me to pay for the game again as well as start all over, so mad at this company, they make great games, but this is the second time this has happened to me with their games, & yes it was two different games. What a rip-off. ### 1/5 — Aggravating *2023-03-05* I want to like this game but I stayed aggravated on it so much I finally just had to leave it be. If you are going to make a game at least make sure it is user friendly. For instance on the bonus chapter where it has the string game near the shore. One of the right side pieces you have to put it on the unlock button to move another piece but when you go to move it to the place it’s supposed to be at you wind up hitting the stupid x so it resets the whole game! That wouldn’t bother me as much IF the pieces were not so hard to move. ### 1/5 — Stuck at the cracked pillar *2022-03-17, version 1.1.4* Cannot go past the cracked pillar. The hint button is no good it keeps telling you to go there but it doesn’t tell you what to do because something is missing. Looking through the guide it seems like I should have acquired an item in one of the past scenes from some puzzle I solved but you cannot go back and get whatever it is because it is not there. The only way I know how to try and fix it is to restart the game which I really don’t want to play from the beginning. ### 1/5 — Reel Horror *2022-03-09, version 1.1.4* ……is a real shame! It won’t open, and yes, I have tried deleting and starting over several times. ### 1/5 — Useless app, games too expensive! *2021-03-20, version 1.1.3* The app still takes you back to the same game, more than a year after developers saying it would fix the issue. Price of the games is extortionate. Also, why advertise that a game is free to play when it isn’t? So annoying. ### 1/5 — Complete Scam. *2020-11-30, version 1.1.2* This game is appalling. So it seems free, you play through a lot of story, it was fun enough - and then it just pulls the rug. The creators then want £6.99 for what, half a game? A quarter? Who knows! Why not charge this upfront instead of attempting to trick customers? This kind of behaviour should be banned. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2026-07-30* Игра очень классная. В стиле старых подобного жанра игр. Огромный плюс за отсутствие рекламы🌸 ### 5/5 — Inventory *2025-03-29, version 1.1.9* Very fun game !!!! If you have a iPhone or iPad and the inventory is making you exit out the game or one of the rooms you have to hold on to the inventory button the minute you click on it and it’ll load up w/o making it exit . I had so much fun playing I just wish it wasn’t $6 to continue 💔 ### 5/5 — Original story *2025-02-05, version 1.1.8* These days when it seems like devs just copy their games off someone else, here is an original story. Kudos. ### 5/5 — Do Games *2025-01-15, version 1.1.8* LOVE THEM ALL. keep ‘em coming - Please ### 5/5 — Reel fun HOP *2025-01-02, version 1.1.8* Enjoyed this a lot. Something more games should do— when you use the “wrong” item, instead of just a generic “you can’t use that here” message, you get a glimpse of *why* that item doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Plenty to do, but I wish they were cheaper *2024-10-04, version 1.1.7* Very much enjoyed playing, but I wish they were a couple of quid cheaper so I could buy more. ### 5/5 — Play this game *2024-02-16, version 1.1.4* i’ve spent many years playing mystery puzzles, such as this, and this game is probably one of the most fun that I’ve ever had. If you want to play a game or you don’t have to spend any money and yet still have a long fun game, play this one. ### 5/5 — )) *2023-11-02* Здравствуйте дорогие разработчики,хотел бы продолжение игры купить на айфоне 12,но почему-то вылетает,исправьте пожалуйста **Developer response:** Здравствуйте!

Once again, my review has been deleted and all of them have been deleted as far as your games go. This was one of the best games you have created, but once deleted, I don’t write another review! My rating will remain at 5 stars for amazing! ### 5/5 — Another Fun Game *2021-11-21, version 1.1.3* Once again I am enjoying playing a Big Fish Game. This game is a lot of fun. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
