### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-09-25, version 1.0.0*

I lasted about 2 minutes on this game; the graphics are awful.

### 1/5 — Another glitchy game

*2022-08-28, version 1.0.0*

Another one that appears to not be working with current generation iPads. Graphics all screwed up and unplayable

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2022-01-17, version 1.0.0*

This did originally play but now that iOS has been updated it no longer plays.  So much for pay once play forever!!

### 1/5 — 不具合ありました

*2021-11-23, version 1.0.0*

ゲームの最初から、四角い線が出るようになっていて直りません。
直してくれると嬉しいです

### 1/5 — Please Fix This

*2021-09-08, version 1.0.0*

When I first purchased the game, I had no issues and really enjoyed it. Now, every time I try to download and play it I’m only able to view cut scenes. The display is completely scrambled. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Can’t see the screen

*2021-07-13, version 1.0.0*

Something wrong with the screen. All I see is bright squares.

### 1/5 — 画面が、おかしい

*2021-04-18, version 1.0.0*

ムービーのところ以外は、画面が二重になって、出来ません。
最近こういうの多すぎます
改善してください

### 1/5 — Game is glitchy

*2021-02-17, version 1.0.0*

I purchased this game and it let me play it once. Now it is all messed up and won’t play.  It’s like a whole bunch of different panels floating around 😡

### 1/5 — Alles kaputt

*2021-01-05, version 1.0.0*

Nur Bildfehler zu sehen. Bitte auf IOS 14 anpassen.
Solange: Finger weg!

### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE

*2021-01-03, version 1.0.0*

I cannot play the game. You’re only able to see cut scenes.  The game is either incomplete, or needs updating.  I’ll be attempting to get my money back.  I deleted and uploaded three different times (after turning my phone on and off after upload, and before).  There’s no available update.  Waste of money.  I want my money BACK!

### 1/5 — Game has stopped working

*2020-11-23, version 1.0.0*

The visuals are totally blocked

### 3/5 — 🤷🏼‍♀️

*2020-09-19, version 1.0.0*

Качественная, интересная игра. Но неприлично короткая за такие деньги ((

### 3/5 — Great, but Unexpectedly Short

*2020-07-16, version 1.0.0*

Although this game was very enjoyable, it was suddenly over. I was fighting with a guy who had the entity within him and the game was suddenly over. I think we barely went from the psychologists office to the mansion. And then the factory and that was it. Disappointed because it’s started off really well and the it was over. I had only been playing the game for about two/three  hours approximately.

### 4/5 — Great series

*2020-05-20, version 1.0.0*

Love this series but this one was way too short for the price.

### 2/5 — 530₽

*2019-12-04, version 1.0.0*

Игра платнаяяяя. 530 р не так уж и мало. Бесплатно доступны только 3 локации. Интересно

### 2/5 — Выкачивание денег

*2019-11-27, version 1.0.0*

Игра очень интересная. Сюжет и графика суперские, но если игру не купить, игра закрывается.

### 2/5 — very short

*2019-10-27, version 1.0.0*

its a shame to ask 7$ for a such a short game. it looks like it was stripped from some other game and became a dlc.

### 4/5 — Short but good

*2019-08-18, version 1.0.0*

Finished in under 90 minutes which was disappointment but I love these games.  Love elf my trusty sidekick.

### 1/5 — Please fix!!

*2026-01-15, version 1.0.0*

This is absolutely ridiculous, I see reviews for this same issue dating back a year ago and it’s still not resolved. Very disappointed, the screen is fragmented and unplayable. I love most of your games this was a real letdown.

### 1/5 — Visual failure

*2025-06-25, version 1.0.0*

The game is not viewable; the screen is a massive cubist nightmare. It cannot be played.

### 1/5 — No longer able to play

*2025-05-29, version 1.0.0*

This really is bad, pay once but can’t play as update makes it unplayable, don’t bother buying.

### 1/5 — Yikes

*2025-03-08, version 1.0.0*

Gave me a migraine

### 1/5 — Download glitch

*2024-11-13, version 1.0.0*

Downloaded it several times, there is some sort of glitch with the graphics. Unplayable.

### 1/5 — Lässt sich nicht auf iPad abspielen

*2024-08-23, version 1.0.0*

Leider lässt sich das Spiel auf meinem iPad nicht abspielen es kommt ganz zerstückelt an.

### 1/5 — Unable to play

*2024-07-16, version 1.0.0*

I don’t know if it’s a glitch in the game or if the “fractured” sense of the memories, but I cannot play it the way it is. I have very bad eyesight and I played about 2 minutes of the game before it started bugging my eyes. I like the other Mystery Tracker games I’ve played except they stop responding and I have to restart them quite often. But I simply cannot play this one. I’d like a refund please.

### 1/5 — What happened ? This is awful

*2024-07-09, version 1.0.0*

I normally live mystery tracker games, but I have had to delete this one within less than a minute. What’s with all the collage of weird squares? It’s illegible and would have induced migraine had I continued? Or is it just incompatible with iPad? I’m no techno person so can’t tell… Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Game bugged - cannot be played on my iPad

*2023-05-28, version 1.0.0*

I have a 5th generation iPad Pro that is up to date with its OS (16.5) and the game’s visuals are hopelessly bugged out. Cut scenes are fine, menu and regular game screens are all distorted and messed up. They really should remove this game from the App Store until it is fixed.

### 1/5 — Stopped working with new iOS version

*2023-01-08, version 1.0.0*

With the update to iOS 16 it does not work anymore. I want a refund.

### 5/5 — Incompatible con iOS14

*2020-11-22, version 1.0.0*

Los juegos de BigFish del estudio Elephant Games vienen dando incompatibilidades con iOS 14. Algunos los han arreglado, pero este NO (y he pagado por él). Quiero una solución o una devolución de mi dinero

### 5/5 — Imagining

*2020-04-19, version 1.0.0*

One of the best games I've ever played!

### 5/5 — One of the best hidden object games

*2019-07-04, version 1.0.0*

None of these games have great story lines but this one has great graphics and realistic scenes. No giant or surreal monsters.  So tired of those. It was worth the price and I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-06-25, version 1.0.0*

Just cost too much to buy the full game

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2019-06-24, version 1.0.0*

Graphics and storyline were superb. 5 stars easily earned. Thanks Big Fish for another awesome game.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-02-21, version 1.0.0*

Fast

### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2019-02-13, version 1.0.0*

I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-02-10, version 1.0.0*

This game is allot of fun and challenging enough. Hours of play.

### 5/5 — Großes Spielvergnügen

*2019-02-02, version 1.0.0*

Ein sehr gutes Spiel, das mir in allem gefallen hat. Spannende Geschichte, schneller Ablauf, Sammelobjekte zum Suchen. Besonders gefallen haben mir die richtig guten Minigames. Nicht zu leicht, aber zu lösen. WBS auch sehr gut.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2018-09-16, version 1.0.0*

It’s not just a game of finding objects but finding objects like a detective to be able to forward although sometimes you have to go back to move fotward. so far quite enjoyable.
