### 4/5 — Good game. Small issue

*2025-07-03*

First off, I so enjoy this series. So fun and great story. However, the Hidden Room, is not letting me click the “eye” clue. Because of this, I can’t open the games secret rom. :( I did purchase the full game, please fix the bug. I can’t experience side stories that I purchased.

### 4/5 — Fix the problems pls..

*2024-11-21, version 1.0.1*

All your games are very good, but you cannot choose the answers to some puzzles because of the hint button and map button. That's why I have to delete the game when I reach half of the game. Also, you cannot read the story because of the get coin button. It would be better if you fix all these problems

### 4/5 — Really enjoyable

*2024-05-23, version 1.0.1*

Not too difficult and engaging.  Enjoyed passing my time with this one.

### 5/5 — First Class Game

*2024-04-29, version 1.0.1*

This is one of the best games that I have ever played; bonus too. The challenges were not too difficult and it was both entertaining and absorbing. One of those games which you never want to end. Brilliant programming and technically efficient.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-26, version 1.0.1*

Puzzles and story💜💜

### 2/5 — Stuck

*2024-03-14, version 1.0.1*

I have been stuck in the lounge forever. Have reset the game 3 times. Wasted money on hints. Can not find the button for the machine. Hunt says go there but can never find the button. Very disappointing was really enjoying the game.

### 2/5 — Too glitchy, not worth the trouble!

*2024-03-10*

After placing the brain and lung, still can’t get the button for vending machine.  Restarted game and it did it the second time!
Also had to restart when power handle would not connect to power box. 
Delete, delete, delete!!

### 2/5 — ヒントの上の手が(-.-;)y-~~~

*2024-02-17, version 1.0.1*

ネジみたいなクルクルしたやつが、ヒントの手の場所にあり、タップしてもヒントのタップになってしまい、何度挑戦しても進めない。
この手のバグが多くないですか？
タップの場所もう少し何とかしてください

### 5/5 — Really fun game

*2024-01-24*

Fun to play. Plot line is interesting. No glitches!!

### 1/5 — Glitch City

*2023-12-16*

12/2023 I see that “bugs & glitches are fixed,” but clearly that’s not the case. Anything i click -in the very first room!- redirects me to the load screen. 
  I hate even offering ONE STAR when i cannot even play the game!
