You can only skip! So please make it so that you have the option to take a hint or skip. ### 4/5 — Mostly excellent *2022-05-18, version 1.0.0* I haven’t quite finished the game yet but I have been finding it very enjoyable and I like its slight quirkiness. Fantastic artwork and some good puzzles along the way. Only giving 4 out of 5 because in the last few scenes of the main game the developer seems to have run out of imagination: the same board game 4 times on the trot then HOP after HOP. That’s disappointing when the game has been otherwise brilliant, and I wish developers would work on making their endgames more satisfying. But I would still recommend it. ### 4/5 — Interesting details and beautiful *2021-05-11, version 1.0.0* Great game ,thank you. ### 5/5 — Still a great game! *2021-05-03, version 1.0.0* This game is a few years old, but I was desperate for hidden object adventure games, so I reloaded and played it. Fantastic storyline and graphics, unique HOPs and mini-games. Love it! I miss the days when we could purchase two new Big Fish iOs games each week ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2021-05-01, version 1.0.0* Awesome game I have played a lot of these games but this is by far the best. I love it ### 5/5 — Older game *2020-12-28, version 1.0.0* Still challenging and works well. No glitches. ### 4/5 — Doorway *2020-10-29, version 1.0.0* I like this game. I had to restart it because, the 1st time, I got stuck early in the game in the study & couldn’t advance & the hint button didn’t help. 2nd try has gone smoothly. Intriguing story line. ### 5/5 — fun *2020-08-02, version 1.0.0* good ### 5/5 — Hidden Doorway *2020-03-30, version 1.0.0* Love it! Not too easy with just the right amount of challenge. ### 5/5 — I loved it! *2019-10-23, version 1.0.0* I've been playing these games for years. I gotta say this is one of my favorites. So many different puzzles and interactive things to do like using the book to create the story. Graphics were fantastic and the voices are relatable. It's worth full price. Nice and long including the bonus game. Bravo!!!! ### 5/5 — Top⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2019-04-20, version 1.0.0* Suchtfaktor absolut!!! Mal anders als die üblichen WS. Es ist alles vorhanden. Schade das die Karte im Menü zu finden ist, ansonsten kann ich nur sagen „ mehr davon „ ### 5/5 — Great Game *2018-10-02, version 1.0.0* Been playing the trial for a bit now and am loving the game. Going to buy. Voice overs a good. Story line flows well. Like the puzzles. They make sense within the game. Don’t feel disjointed like lots of games do. ### 5/5 — Beautiful and Very Well Done *2018-09-21, version 1.0.0* I love this genre and this one does not disappoint. ### 5/5 — Back to Doorway *2018-04-02, version 1.0.0* The game flows well. The story is interesting but lacks a little depth but it is just a game. I feel like Doorway is kinda short, or I'm just a great player. Anyway, very entertaining, not too hard not to easy. I liked the boards which you use to move dolls around. I solved all except the last board in the doorway. I liked the different rooms-books, they provided a nice variety- you didn't play an all detective mode or a all Mayan theme. The game is fun, quick. Mama gamer ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Yeah yeah yeah great game or whatever *2025-04-05, version 1.0.0* BIG FISH. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. PLEEEAASE I’ve been playing since I was 8 with league of light and have been following you guys religiously… and all I get is evermerge! I NEED MORE ### 1/5 — Einwegspiel? *2021-07-03, version 1.0.0* Was soll das? Hab das Spiel gekauft, gespielt. Wollte heute noch mal spielen, kommt die Meldung „Du hast dieses Abenteuer bereits abgeschlossen“. Hä? Und? Weder das Hauptspiel, noch den Bonuskapitel kann ich spielen! ### 1/5 — Another BFG Flop *2019-04-18, version 1.0.0* No storyline whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Never tales *2017-07-18, version 1.0.0* I have played this only one time, and it won't let me play again. It just keeps saying, 'you have already played this game.' What is going on? ### 2/5 — Good if… *2024-03-09, version 1.0.0* I remember playing this when it came out and have played it a couple of times since. However I tried to restore my purchases today and it says no record, I have a copy of my receipt and I would appreciate it if you could sort it out and enable me to restore what I have already paid for. ### 2/5 — i USED to like this series... *2018-01-18, version 1.0.0* The previous Nevertales are some of my fave BF games. Because they had non-linear logic and creative puzzles. But not anymore. Once again...the BF developers are reducing their games into simplistic tap tap tapping. All areas/screens are cleared out within 1-2 scenes of each other. Which means.... if you just keep tapping, the items and interactive areas will simply fall into place on their own. It appears the developers have been catering to the whiny gamers who complain about having to go back and forth too much. Which is what the TRANSPORT map is for. At least the graphics are nice. And there's some uniqueness to this game compared to the other boring tapping HOG/BF games. Even still, I was hoping MadHeads Nevertales would at least be like their previous games. But nope...I just wanted to get this game over with. ### 2/5 — Lag time *2017-08-02, version 1.0.0* I noticed many reviewers making remarks about the long lag times but decided to try it for myself. It was on sale and I thought that for a good price, I could overlook long lag times. Well, I was wrong. It drove me crazy so I could not buy this game. It was too bad because it was a decent game. ### 3/5 — So far it ok *2020-08-23, version 1.0.0* Slow going but I’m only playing the first couple chapters. I don’t buy a game unless it’s really, REALLY good. ### 3/5 — The background sounds come on! *2017-08-21, version 1.0.0* Hello! Could you, PLEASE, fix the sound? It's beyond annoying! I turn the sound off because I don't want it on! I don't want to bother others, either. The game is okay, but there's no map. And, unfortunately, I need to keep going to the help screen! I find it confusing. And the games have glitches. I couldn't get the planets in the rings to turn. Once in a while they would, as I tapped the arrow, other times, not. Very frustrating. ### 3/5 — 詰まらなくは無い *2017-08-01, version 1.0.0* グラフイック、ボリュームはソコソコ。ストーリーは少し子供っぽいかな。分かりやすいので、こういうゲーム初心者にはいいかも。難易度高めが好きな人には物足りない。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — สนุกค่ะ *2024-11-24, version 1.0.0* สนุกค่ะ ### 5/5 — We need more!!! *2024-02-27, version 1.0.0* We need more hidden object games from you, none of these are optimised for new iPads with it not being black screen (black boarders) love these games though! Optimise all of the ones you already have so we can enjoy them now to ### 5/5 — Very intense *2024-01-24, version 1.0.0* Love this game and not my usual!! ### 5/5 — Big fish *2023-07-02, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2023-02-16, version 1.0.0* As a matter of fact, I love the whole series! Yes, it IS an older game, but don’t let that stop you from playing! Beautiful artwork, seamless gameplay, and a pretty good story make for an excellent game! One thing - another reviewer said that the collectibles are available after the game, but I can’t figure out how! I missed a morphing object, and now I can’t access one of the post game extras. My fault, obviously! Not sure what happened to the developers, but I hope all is well, and that they will be creating more of these wonderful games! ### 5/5 — A ok. *2022-12-08, version 1.0.0* Long good game ### 5/5 — Great story and fun game play! *2021-08-22, version 1.0.0* I recommend this whole series! Unique story and different enough to keep it interesting! ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-05-30, version 1.0.0* Loved this game! Interesting storyline, long gameplay, good puzzles and heaps of extras. ### 5/5 — Good value deal *2021-05-15, version 1.0.0* Madhead Games. A creative real-world story that allowed for a variety of scenarios. Puzzles varied though only moderately challenging. ### 5/5 — good fun game *2021-05-10, version 1.0.0* A bit strange until I got into it, but then I got hooked! Good puzzles, and great scenes. Started over again after I’d finished, and enjoying it better second time around when I got more familiar with it. Reminds me of playing Drawn a long while ago? Glad I bought this one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
