I see this problem has been identified but not fixed so I have requested a refund from Apple. Not good enough from Big Fish Games. ### 1/5 — Can’t finish the game *2025-05-22, version 1.0.2* Can’t get past the owl map part ### 1/5 — Bug comme les autres joueurs *2024-07-21, version 1.0.2* Impossible de sélectionner la vieille tour Ce n’est pas normal 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Wish I read reviews *2024-04-04, version 1.0.2* I can’t get past the owl map really wished I read the reviews before I payed £6.99 for this game Why have a game still for purchase when you know it has a glitch? Big disappointment I sell be requesting a refund ### 1/5 — Deception *2023-09-24, version 1.0.2* You pay money to play and it won’t let you go past the old tower. This is bull. Want my money back. Wish I had looked at reviews, I usually do. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2023-08-02, version 1.0.2* Taking money for a game that doesn’t work and has never been updated after a myriad of issues. What has happened to Big Fish lately? Bad support, glitchy games. Why does this game continue to be available for sale? ### 1/5 — Funktioniert immer noch nicht *2023-06-10, version 1.0.2* Der Entwickler hat vermutlich keine Lust, uns Kunden, die bezahlt haben, ihr angestandenes Recht zu gewähren, ein funktionierendes Spiel zu bekommen. Das Eulenspiel hängt immer noch! ### 1/5 — Game still not functional 8/28/2022 *2022-08-28, version 1.0.2* I purchased game a long time ago and just now tried to play it. The same complaint about the owl puzzle is still NOT working. Restarted too many times too count and reinstalled several times just not believing a company would NOT have continued to falsely sell a non working program ( I didn’t read the previews or I would never have paid for it) Hope others are smarter than me and many others and DO read the reviews. Waste of money. You can’t even get through what we can only guess is less than half the game based on the guide book information. I gave 1 star ONLY TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE THIS REVIEW and also because they continue years later to be able to FALSELY advertise and CONTINUE STEALING peoples money for a non working game. ### 1/5 — Toujours pas réglé pour le hibou! *2022-07-27, version 1.0.2* J’ai vraiment payé pour rien. Cela fait 3-4 fois que je recommence ce jeu, et je suis toujours bloqué à la TOUR . ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht! *2022-04-02, version 1.0.2* Beim Turm bleibt es hängen. Wurde immer noch nicht gefixt! 👎🏽 ## Frequently asked questions about Off The Record ### What is Off The Record: The Art of Deception HD about?
