### 4/5 — Program update?

*2018-12-20, version 1.4*

When are you planning to update your older programs to allow them running under iOS 11? I have made multiple purchases from your library in the past, but right now I am unable to run them under iOS 11...

Thank you

*2016-11-23, version 1.4*

I really liked this, great graphics, long game, lots of ho if you like them good bonus game too, let's have more

### 4/5 — Good game but limited plot

*2016-09-17, version 1.4*

Good game- fun- but not my fav from G5 or this developer.  It must be one of their earlier games.  Weaker storyline with too many HOS without the usual problem solving.  Graphics are better than avg as per usual with Artifex. If it were 4$ np, but expect moe for nearly 7$

### 5/5 — Really good game!!!!

*2016-09-13, version 1.4*

This game is amazing!!!!

### 5/5 — Great game....but...

*2016-07-28, version 1.4*

### 5/5 — Nightmare From the Deep

### 5/5 — Nightmares from the heart

*2016-03-23, version 1.4*

Excellent!
I just couldn't stop playing it. A brilliant game !

### 5/5 — Nightmare of the Deep: The Cursed Heart - Collector Edition

*2016-03-07, version 1.4*

Love this game! I have had many happy nighttime hours while my husband was at work. But, come to think of it, I have had many happy daytime hours playing also. Thus I WAS REALLY HOOKED ON THIS GAME!! 
Thank you G-5 for a wonderful game. Well worth the $4.99 I spent. 
Happy gaming world!

### 4/5 — Terry R

*2016-01-25, version 1.4*

Very good game. Totally immersed in the game  . Looking forward to the next one.

### 5/5 — Excellent Spooky Pirate

*2015-11-21, version 1.4*

A great game if you like dirty old spooky pirates who have lain dead for several hundred years :) Well worth a shot.

### 5/5 — Free section shows promise

*2015-10-30, version 1.4*

I don't usually like 5G games, but this seems better than the average one they design.  The free section was very short, but fun, and it shows promise to be interesting, but NOT worth $6.99.  How do these game companies think players can afford their prices?  I bought this game when the price came down.  Excellent!  I highly recommend this series.  I now have three from this series and think they're all great.

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu !

*2015-10-20, version 1.4*

Très bon jeu, j'ai adoré.

### 5/5 — Nightmares

*2015-10-18, version 1.4*

Wow a great game for all.

*2019-11-25, version 1.4*

Update for iOS 11 and up pls

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2019-01-14, version 1.4*

Purchased the game, but it is stuck not letting me complete a task. There is no way to reset game, and conveniently no way to contact game makers.  Not a happy camper

### 1/5 — Are u gonna update ?

*2018-01-23, version 1.4*

I loved this game and now it won’t upload because it wasn’t updated to the recent IOS update? Question is, area gonna ? Please do. Thanks

### 1/5 — Here is your rating

*2015-02-27, version 1.4*

Game begs for me to rate it in the middle of a cut scene.  So here is your 1 star.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! THIS GAME KILLED MY IPAD2!!!!

*2014-02-25, version 1.4*

I downloaded this game out of sheer curiosity. I had not DOWNLOADED ANYTHING in over SIX MONTHS. I have had ZERO issues with my iPad2 in the 3years that I've owned it. 
OK! So I downloaded THIS game, going by description and REVIEWS. (I ALWAYS look at reviews first, BTW). There were only five reviews, but all good.
After downloading, I immediately started the game. There is an animated "INTRO", which I always watch with a new game so I can know the storyline. The graphics looked GREAT! My heart actually skipped a beat while watching the animation. My adrenaline was starting to flow! When it got to the scene where two ships are seen, with the sails blowing in the wind, the game FROZE, (I wasn't even TOUCHING iPad!) and for TWENTY MINUTES I COULD NOT EVEN TURN MY iPad2 OFF!!!
It was stuck with a visual of my desktop strangely mixed with a faded view of the F'ing ships!!! I tried EVERY combination of buttons and finally came up with the idea of "jump starting" my iPad by plugging in the power cord. (My iPad was like 90% juiced up with power when this all occurred, by the way) It booted up, took FOREVER, but APPEARED to be turning on...
THEN, screen goes BLACK!
     NOW comes the NEXT PROBLEM:
I CAN NO LONGER TURN MY IPAD2 ON!
It has been 2 days now. BLACK SCREEN, NO RESPONSE! It's DEAD!
I guess I will have my caregiver drive F'ING 120 MILES now to get to the nearest Apple store!!  THANKS A LOT GUYS! I am disabled and my iPad2 is my lifeline to the outside world most of the time. (Typing this from my tiny iTouch. I was FAST to make sure game was not automatically installed via the freaking "Apple Cloud", onto my iTouch.)
I am 100% CERTAIN that THIS GAME killed my iPad!!! I have never dropped or abused my iPad in ANY way. There isn't a scratch on it! I don't just download every game that I see, willy-nilly.
THANKS GUYS! I hate to be nasty, but I hope your company goes down in flames. GREAT GRAPHICS DO NOT = GREAT PROGRAMMING!!!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2013-12-09, version 1.4*

Stuck at the door... After swiping it with the electronic key it does not open.

### 1/5 — Best ever!!

*2013-05-11, version 1.3*

This app was the best game thus far I have played! Even better than some of the finest big fish games!! So much excitement, adventure! Keeps you on your toes and so refreshing  to have two ways for looking for items in the sparkling. Love Chinese checker affects in stead of item search or go back and forth? So much fun such an excellent story. Love that its like movie in the game and your part of it. Real life like movie effects like your at a theater and it pauses for you to figure a puzzle out or search for somthing and when you do your characters come back to life, your movie that is. All that was missing for me was I didn't have any popcorn in the house lol I highly recommend!!!!!!!! HIGHLY play this app game you won't regret and you'll probably play it more than once, I did!!

### 1/5 — OMG

*2013-04-01*

Best game ever please make more!

### 1/5 — Nightmares of the deep

*2012-11-25, version 1.1*

Tired of games that freeze or won't let you continue despite doing as instructed.

### 1/5 — Brian P Castle

*2012-11-20, version 1.1*

Good game but way too expensive!!
Unfortunately will be deleting :-(

*2021-01-18, version 1.4*

Can you update the game so I can play the game I love playing this game so much fun

### 5/5 — PLEASE READ

*2020-09-08, version 1.4*

This is 100% one of my favorite app games ever but because of the iOS updates I can no longer play it along with a lot of your other game. If you could please revamp some games like this one that would be amazing. Such as the Carnival one, the dreamscape one, and of corse this one.

### 5/5 — Emersive Storyline

*2019-11-11, version 1.4*

Great graphics and options if you are stuck. I loved this game and it was definitely worth the price for the full version.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2019-06-09, version 1.4*

Absolutely love this game as the graphics are great, the storyline is great and it's a nice long game too and the best thing is no in app purchases needed.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-06-03, version 1.4*

This is by far one of the best adventure games I’ve ever played. Downloaded it a couple of times now and can’t stop playing! There are barely any bugs and there’s so much entertainment. 

This is one of the best game that G5 entertainment AB has made. However,  It will be better when us people-will be able to play it on iOS 11. As much as I love playing it. Please let us play it. Other than that, this is truly amazing.

### 5/5 — PLEASE READ

*2018-09-01, version 1.4*

Due to my devices updating I’ve been unable to play for quite sometime now. This one along with a few more of my favorites cannot be re downloaded! I absolutely love this game and I’m actually able to play the third hence I’m writing this review. I have paid for the full version of this game and I’m wondering if somehow you can make it able for me to re download. I love this game!

### 5/5 — Wish the app was updated

*2018-07-10, version 1.4*

I love this game but after I did the IOS 11 update it won’t work so please update the app cause I love it!!!!!

### 5/5 — D

*2017-12-30, version 1.4*

### 5/5 — I love it
