Sound effects and music are a treat—definitely play with sound on. Puzzles are fun and not too difficult. But, Controls are boring and game is VERY short. I don’t regret buying this game, but am a bit disappointed. ### 5/5 — A game made with heart! *2020-09-22, version 1.0.3* Interesting game that is suitable for gamers of different age. ### 4/5 — A little short, but pretty good! *2020-09-22* The premise is very interesting, although it would have been nice to have a little bit more lore, like another location or two in [the first large area] with more puzzles and information, or another new puzzle section for the large ship. The graphics can be a little crusty, at least on my device, but it’s enough to tell the story. The puzzles work pretty well and are very novel and interesting, although it can get a bit repetitive with some of them having 5-10(?) iterations one after the other. It might have been good to break some of that up, but that might not work with this particular story flow. Overall it’s a very interesting game though. I don’t usually buy games, but if you have the extra money it’s pretty decent. ### 5/5 — point and click adventure with a great aesthetic *2020-09-06* I am absolutely in love with a cool retro feel of Outsider and the puzzles have been pretty interesting as well. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun! *2020-09-02* This was great! Puzzles were tough now and then but a really relaxing, fun game to play. Would have liked it to be longer but it was still worth it. Great job! ### 5/5 — Neat little game *2020-08-23, version 1.0.3* As the title says. ### 5/5 — Lovely game *2020-08-06, version 1.0.2* I really enjoyed this game, it was original with a nice story and unique gameplay, it is quite short and I would have enjoyed more as it’s so good but it is was definitely value for money. Worth every penny, well done team! ### 4/5 — Great Gane *2020-07-25* I really enjoyed playing this game. Only downside is the game only took me a few hours to complete. Puzzles weren’t to difficult but made you think. Story was a little hard to follow. Controls could use some work. Overall it was decent, hopefully the developers will add more to the story and some new levels. ### 5/5 — I’m Lovin It!🍟🎮 *2020-07-24* I just started playing today and so far I’m lovin it! The graphics are nice and the puzzles are super engaging—some are easy; some not so much. What I’ve played in the last 20 minutes is worth paying for and I’m not even done yet. As far as gameplay goes, the price seems reasonable but that’s up for interpretation. I hope the developers continue to make more because I’ve already got and itch for more! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal game! *2020-07-24* I was hesitant about getting this game but let me say this— it was well worth the money, and then some. The puzzles were very different, some were very challenging, but overall the game was super fun. It is definitely one of a kind escape type game. I absolutely LOVED it. I’ve played every type of escape game from the very best like Rusty Lake and House of DaVinci, to the very worst. This game is on my list of favorites. If you are reading this review and are contemplating getting this game, do it, I promise you will love it. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2020-07-22* Game freezes, does not have a save feature, if there is no way to get out of the unresponsive mode, then you can only restart it. I’m not willing to throw away all I’ve done to this point. Too glitchy to be a good game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Directions *2023-12-04, version 1.4.8* ????? ### 1/5 — Too short and not worth the money *2020-09-25, version 1.0.3* The puzzles were easy and boring. Very cheaply designed. Took about an hour to complete. ### 1/5 — Junk *2020-07-23* These puzzles are terrible. There is nothing in the game to to help you figure out what you’re supposed to do and I just spent 15 minutes on the fusion battery nodes watching them bang into each other with no idea on how to fix it. Not fun. I like puzzles and I like hard puzzles but when you can’t figure out the controls you’re wasting my time. ### 1/5 — Crashes on startup *2020-07-18, version 1.0.2* Just crashes every time it starts up, sorry I paid for this, it’s compatible with my iPad mini2. — thank you to the developer for responding and offering troubleshooting — ### 1/5 — Sorry but not sorry. Trash *2020-07-10, version 1.0.2* Felt like 20 total puzzles and 5hrs of mindless background music/plot with horrible graphics felt like the early 2000. 110% not worth buying this game ### 1/5 — Too Short *2020-07-08, version 1.0.2* For the price of the game I was expecting a much longer experience. This game was incredibly too short, and the puzzles got repetitive. The story is also a bit convoluted and hard to follow. ### 2/5 — Too many puzzles *2020-10-10, version 1.0.3* I am at the portion of the virus puzzles where there is no way to win. This level is not winnable. ### 2/5 — What did I just play? *2020-09-17, version 1.0.3* I just finished this in two hours, and I have no clue as to what the plot was about. I feel like I’m reviewing a David Lynch movie. Save your money. ### 2/5 — Puzzles too drawn out *2020-07-30, version 1.0.2* Each individual puzzle gets drawn out into 5,6,7 or even more of the exact same puzzle. Get’s annoying. Would be better if you could skip a puzzle if you get annoyed with it...or have 3 or 4 of the same puzzle. I’m sorry I spent the money ### 2/5 — BUGS *2020-07-23* If I’m in the middle of a puzzle and jump to another application or sit my phone down, the puzzle is frozen when I come back to it. The only way out is to relaunch the game and start the puzzle over from the beginning. This has happened on several different puzzles and was so annoying that I deleted the game. You shouldn’t charge money for a game that has obvious bugs like this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really Cool Game *2025-01-27, version 1.4.8* I love the story and the graphics are amazing. Really impressive and fun game! ### 5/5 — Loved *2024-04-03* Relaxing puzzles that also work to push along an original story within a unique sci-fi ambiance, yet leave you thinking about the ironic humanity within and wondering more about the protagonist and can't help but want to know more. Great job! Sincerely! ### 5/5 — A game with imagination and story *2023-11-14, version 1.4.8* Very surprised and impressed with the story and what was done with delivery. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2023-08-20, version 1.4.8* This is the best game I have played for a long time, absolutely incredible. Everything about it was executed perfectly from the gameplay itself, the puzzles, the music and the storyline. The only complaint I have is that is isn’t longer! :-) I loved it so much that as soon as I completed it, I played it again. Exemplary work lads and lasses, I’m thoroughly impressed. ### 5/5 — Truly a pleasant surprise *2023-02-25* As an avid fan of puzzle adventures (a genre of games that is severely lacking in quality in apple games) I downloaded this one at random, honestly prepared to be a bit underwhelmed being fresh off some of the flashier amanita etc games- don’t sleep on this one, y’all! Despite being less intensely animated, I found it totally engaging and very relaxing to play. The brain teasers were challenging but without making me pull hair out of my head- perfect game for a rainy day. I would love to see a more updated sequel with a more open world concept, with puzzles you feel like you “stumbled” upon. Fun game! ### 5/5 — One of the best games I’ve ever played. *2021-09-02, version 1.4.8* Absolutely loved every second of this, the design, puzzles, colour palette, music and crucially the story and ideas presented - 100% unique and perfect. WALL-E meets 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar. Genius. ### 5/5 — Simple greatness *2020-12-14* This game is great I play it every once in awhile, mainly Because I dońt want it to end, but also do to a busy schedule. Great to keep your mind running but not an hectic kind of way. So you can just feel at peace while completing some kind of mind strategy and coordination games. ### 5/5 — Spend the money *2020-10-24* I don’t write reviews very often but this is worth the money. ### 5/5 — Great work by developer *2020-10-13* There is nothing I would say negative about this game. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Money well spent. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2020-09-30* Wonderful, stylish little puzzle/adventure game. In a sea of mediocre ios game, this is one of the pearls. Glad I found it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
