### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2024-11-03*

A great game full of quirky characters .
Interesting, original and has lots of 80’s references so would suit older player.
Well worth the money!
Just get it!

### 5/5 — Fun game reminiscent of the old Sierra games

*2024-07-07, version 1.12*

As the title says but with no old school sierra dead ends, a fast travel map system and every 80s icon you can think of. Had fun, works great on IPad.

### 5/5 — Fantastico

*2024-05-21, version 1.12*

Classico punta e clicca. Ben congegnato, ironico, divertente. Grazie mille per la lingua italiana.

### 5/5 — Bug a real one

*2024-02-17*

Im really enjoying the game unit this. I did everything on Saturday noon. However, the game doesn’t register that the Chef has left. Thus I can’t promote Bob. Additionally, I can’t get Fud to initiate the Prank Call. I’m stuck in limbo. 🤷‍♂️ I apologise. It turns there was a bug in my brain not the game.. I love your game..the nods to the 80s is brilliant!!!

Hold on I have found a bug. The ‘Terminator’ has left but it’s registered and I’m stuck in Sunday morning!

**Developer response:** Hello! Let's confirm a few things first (Spoiler Warning!), and please let us know:

Is the Cop (Jake Bigson) still on the Ρoof drinking? Then you need to turn on the Radio (near Jonny) and after Bigson leaves then the option for the prank (assuming you have exhausted all other dialogs options) appears when you talk to Fud.

In more detail:


In order for Boss to notify you about Pelican's "resignation" you need to (assuming you have calmed down Pelican and learned about the order that triggered him):
1. Order "Brussel Sprouts with Banana Split" in the Ordering Terminal on the Roof
2. Turn on the Radio on the Roof (next to Jonny) -then Bigson leaves (step 3 in his Notemap entry) then Talk to Fud -assuming you have exhausted all dialogue options- the option about prank calls (step 4 in Bigson's Notemap entry) appears.


You can do 1 and 2 in either order.


Let us know if the above help - if not, please contact us through https://www.dionous.com/contact/ for further assistance.

### 5/5 — Great retro looking game

*2023-11-21*

This is a very traditional adventure game. Some puzzles were challenging for sure. All the fun references to TV,  movies and real people was a nice touch. The game keeps giving. Even after it ends it keeps giving. There’s plenty of saving squares which I like. Make sure you read the credits at the end. There are some follow up photos there you’ll want to see (plus the developers likely worked hard on all the details.) This played flawlessly for me on my iPhone 12. Love the retro style and music was spot on. This game did something I never expected. It interrupts the storyline to create a 2nd storyline within, as part of the overall storyline, and does this twice, and that extends the game while throwing a monkey wrench at the main protagonist. Brilliant! Kudos! Very original and definitely “out there.” I really enjoyed this! Creative.

### 5/5 — Incredible game/story

*2023-09-27*

Really fun and interesting game with great variety and writing. The game does or at least did crash repeatedly in 3 parts, but I kept continuing and eventually was able to continue past keep playing. Game runs a bit choppy at the last chapter. Ending is really cool  and the ending graphics and spookiness are really worth it. Game is really tricky, but clues are all logical so if you read the clues they all hint to the solutions. Game was frustrating, but with trial and error I finished the game on my own. Hope for another game. Well worth the purchase, minor crashing bugs that at first made game unplayable, but they seem to be fixed in an update.

**Developer response:** Really glad you liked it! If you don't mind, please contact us to share with us some details of the crashes.

### 5/5 — Great Point and Click

*2023-09-13*

I love a good Point & Click! Can’t complain about this one except at the very end, if you don’t have the lighter already in your inventory you’re stuck. Might be worth looking into that one, Developers. Controls and everything else were great. Nice long game that you actually get your money worth from. A++  

But, who would ever think of “Breaking the Ice” guys? Really? Lol

**Developer response:** Glad you enjoyed the game! You can't end up not having the lighter in the inv at the end, perhaps the inventory arrow to scroll the items is not clear enough? The ice thing you mention, oops... :)

### 5/5 — Awesome Support

*2023-07-16*

This game was a lot of fun! Some was a bit challenging where I referred to walkthroughs available online. I really enjoy Point and Click style games but I'm not the best at them all the time lol. I got stuck at one point and reached out to the support team at Dionous Games. They responded promptly with a hint that allowed me to get back on track and complete the game at my own pace. I would highly recommend this game, it has a very unique and funny plot. There are lots of zany characters to interact with.

*2023-06-04*

Was für ein verrücktes Hotel  ein musss für alle Adventure fan                  Klare kaufempfehlung

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2023-04-25*

Needed a walkthrough to solve a few of the puzzles, but that’s usually the case with point and click adventure games.  Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Loved It

*2023-01-23*

This was a very enjoyable game and the length of the game was well worth the price. Nice original story line with plenty of humor. Truly a great addition to the point and click adventure genre. I hope you continue to make these types of games. Thanks for the awesome job!

### 1/5 — Molto carino, ma si blocca

*2024-10-30, version 1.12*

Il gioco è vecchio stile davvero molto divertente, ma dopo l’ordine fatale al cuoco non si aggiorna e non permette di giocare ulteriormente. Resto bloccata e nessuna delle vicende può andare avanti

### 1/5 — Could be good?

*2023-07-23*

Might be great but I’m only 20 min in and it crashes when I try to access the rooftop. Please fix.

**Developer response:** We have fixed the issue and have updated the game, please ensure you have the latest version. Thank you for your feedback!

### 1/5 — Horrible controls

*2023-05-27*

Garbage controls for IPad.  Stopped playing after 20 minutes of not being able to add the bleach to the ammonia, just kept me in the circle of adding it to the cleaning cart and saying terrible idea.  Concept seems interesting but controls make it unplayable

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the game! Some comments that might assist you or others:

The 'terrible idea' response is given when you are not combining the correct items together. From what you are mentioning, it seems that you are not adding the bleach to the correct item (it has a different name).

If the issue is the small hotspots perhaps, we will check and make these bigger. But don't forget that you can always tap on the 'Beeper' to take a look of all the available hotspots in the area, it will assist you alot in case you have doubts :)

We'd be happy if you can contact us through here:https://www.dionous.com/contact/ and let us assist you further,  also to hear your advice and comments to make the experience better.

### 1/5 — Terrible controls!

*2023-02-21*

Why are the controls so bad? You need to use two fingers to do anything. It’s very frustrating! Point n click should be super easy to navigate. This has to the worst controls I’ve ever need on a point n click adventure game. I had to stop playing after 5min. Couldn’t handle it any longer. Please change the controls!

**Developer response:** We are sorry you didn't enjoy the game! But can you please clarify why you need two fingers to do anything? The game is played with one finger only. There are only two gestures used in the game: 1. Tap, 2. Tap and Hold. In any case, we'd love to hear your thoughts though on how we can improve the controls, we are actively working on some update for the game. You can also contact us here https://www.dionous.com/contact/

### 1/5 — Crash

*2022-12-13, version 1.0.10*

Il gioco va in crash non permettendo di andare avanti

### 3/5 — Schön

*2024-10-08*

Leider nehmen die zwei „Point & Click“ bei mir das Nagellack-Wasser-Gemisch nicht als anti Rost Spray nicht an und ich kann ab dem Punkt nicht weiterspielen.

**Developer response:** Im Folgenden sind die Schritte aufgeführt, die für die Einnahme des Anti-Rost-Sprays erforderlich sind:
Ihr müsst die „Wassersprühflasche“, die ihr aus dem Lagerraum genommen habt, mit dem „Nagellackentferner“ (aus Raum 7) benutzen und ihr erhaltet „‚Fake‘ Anti-Rost-Spray“ (dies ist NICHT der Gegenstand, den Nerds brauchen)
-Im Erdgeschoss müsst ihr euch das „Spray“ vor dem Rezeptionisten ansehen/untersuchen. Der Gegenstand wird dann zu „Anti-Rost-Spray“.
-Nachdem du die beiden oben genannten Aktionen durchgeführt hast, kannst du „‚Fake‘ Anti-Rust Spray“ mit „Anti-Rust Spray“ (vor dem Rezeptionisten) benutzen und du erhältst „Anti-Rust Spray“, das du dann den Nerds geben kannst. Ich hoffe, das hat geholfen. Wenn du alles oben Genannte gemacht hast und trotzdem nicht weiterkommst, lass es uns bitte wissen!

### 3/5 — Gets tedious

*2023-02-21*

It’s an interesting idea, but in the all the going back and forth gets tedious. The story is also quite linear, so sometimes you can’t complete a task you know you have to until you do something else first. It doesn’t always make sense.I also found it frustrating to pick up items sometimes. I got stuck at one point because when I tried to get the fridge magnet I couldn’t. Also, sometimes when I tried to give or use an item it didn’t work so I thought I was wrong, ended up looking at a walk through only to find I was right. Other times, when trying to give an item to a character it would instead open the dialogue tree. Too many annoyances to be a really good game, especially when compared to others that are similar.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments! Sorry you didn't have the best experience with the game. Would appreciate your feedback on the below:

- Regarding the magnet issue, was it a small tap area thing? Or perhaps the fact that it appears suddenly later in the game? Don't forget that you can use the 'Beeper' to see any available hotspots in the area!

Noted about the back and forth, hopefully you have found the fast travel functionality in the notemap that assists greatly :)

In any case, we'd love to hear more of your suggestions and findings, as we are actively working on the game for updates, you can contact us anytime here:

### 4/5 — Good so far

*2023-08-27*

Update fixed the crash. Thanks. Good game with fun 1980s-vibe.

**Developer response:** We have fixed the issue and have updated the game, please ensure you have the latest version. Thank you for your feedback!

### 4/5 — Game crashes

*2023-08-25*

**Update 2** There is a new bug in the updated game.  If I go into settings to change the music or SFX volumes, there is no way to save and/or exit the menu.  I have to completely exit the game and reload it.  My new sound settings are not saved.

** Update 1 ** The developers were super responsive to feedback and quick to fix the bug that was causing my game to crash. Really loving the old school point and click adventure style of this game. It’s challenging, but not overly so. ******

 I really want to love this game, and it started off so good, but unfortunately I was only able to play a small portion of the game as it crashes and kicks me out every time I try to access the hotel rooftop. I tried uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it, but the problem still persists. Hoping this bug can/will be fixed as I’d love to give this game a second shot.

**Developer response:** We have fixed the issue and have updated the game, please ensure you have the latest version. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for the **Update 2** report. Seems that the exit button is not shown, but you can actually tap on it. Please check if it is ok until a next fix.

### 4/5 — Help

*2023-05-28*

I was playing the game for days and really enjoying it. But now I am nearly finished and the game is frozen! I can’t move 🫤 My last save before this was to far backwards to use. Hotel 404 remains occupied 😒

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are facing a problem, can you please  contact us with more details from here : https://www.dionous.com/contact/

We need to know where the game froze and hopefully provide some save game or fix.

Challenging and fun click and point adventure. Good length and good humor with some logical and some hard to solve ones that seemed random, but overall good fun. Good story!

### 5/5 — So good!!!!

*2025-03-19*

I was worried it wouldn’t be very long since it was only 1.99, but this gave me hours of gameplay and the game and story are fantastic! Highly recommend this one.

### 5/5 — Τέλειο!

*2025-03-05, version 1.12*

Παιχνιδάρα απλά, απο τα καλύτερα pnc που έχω παίξει! Τρομερό χιούμορ και καταστάσεις, ωραίοι γρίφοι τόσο όσο απο πλευράς δυσκολίας, το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα! Ανυπομονώ να βγει και 2ο!!!

*2025-01-13*

Excellent point and click adventure game. I really enjoyed playing it.

### 5/5 — Absolutely genius

*2024-11-28*

Ridiculous story, beautifully animated in pixelart. Riddles are sometimes quite tricky to solve. Many hours of playing guaranteed. A must for every point-and-click adventure fan.

### 5/5 — Gelöst, sorry

*2024-11-11*

Eigentlich ein super Spiel, aber bei der Alien machine kann ich nicht auf eine Box zugreifen. Ich lese die Liste an der Wand und das war es dann.
