Ich habe es so geliebt ich hoffe ihr könnt es für neuere Systeme und Displays optimieren damit ich es ma wieder spielen kann. ### 4/5 — Français *2026-01-17, version 1.0.0* Je ne trouve pas le moyen de mettre le jeu en français ?? ### 3/5 — Great….. *2023-05-10, version 1.0.0* It was a fantastic game till I got to the treehouse I can’t pick up the candle very frustrating ### 4/5 — Not framed for a Iphone 7 plus *2020-07-09, version 1.0.0* Hi i've played this game before but i tried it on my phone and it isn't framed properly, so you cant see any of the buttons on the home screen :(( ### 2/5 — Schönes Spiel aber... *2020-05-11, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel an sich ist sehr schön gemacht macht auch Spaß, aber es ist nur auf englisch aber beim Kauf steht es gibt es auch in deutsch Deshalb finde ich es schade wenn es auf deutsch gewesen wäre hätte ich das Spiel gekauft ### 3/5 — Kinda Disappointed *2019-05-28, version 1.0.0* I love these games, play so many all the time, but although I had high hopes in the beginning, so I purchased the full one, I was kinda let down by the end. They seemed to have done what a good chunk of these games do sometimes and lured me in with this really amazing story, but it seemed like about 1/3 the way through, it was just about the puzzles and what not, and not at all about the story. By the end the devs didn't even seen to try wrapping up the plot and making us feel like we had a story. Spoiler*** What happened with the abusive fake dad guy and the crooked cops? Nothing? ### 4/5 — It’s fun *2017-11-05, version 1.0.0* I love I play it everyday I get all the achievements I never skip a puzzle can’t wait for paranormal 2 hopefully the guide is in the game and not is some other app ### 2/5 — Was enjoying it until it stopped working *2017-03-24, version 1.0.0* I progressed nicely and was liking it until I was unable to collect items in one section. Tried everything, support couldn't help. Too far along to start over so I guess I'll have to write off the investment in this one! 😡 ### 1/5 — ろうそく *2016-11-18, version 1.0.0* 課金したのに、ろうそく取れません… ### 4/5 — Prima! *2016-11-10, version 1.0.0* Fehlerfreier Lauf und pfiffige Minirätsel. Habs gern gespielt. ### 1/5 — Грани возможного *2016-09-05, version 1.0.0* Игра почему то на английском языке, куплена была на русском языке, исправьте ошибку!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossibile sbloccare acquisto-Impossible to restore in-app purchase *2024-06-08, version 1.0.0* Gioco molto bello. Dopo qualche anno dal mio acquisto in-app non posso più giocare perché il mio acquisto non esiste più. Questo problema si estende a tutti i giochi acquistati tramite acquisto in-app da Big Fish Games. Ho provato a contattare l’assistenza e l’unico aiuto che ho ricevuto è stato ricevere consigli su come scaricare e ripristinare acquisti su PC con sistema operativo windows (dopo aver specificato più volte che i miei problemi erano relativi ad iPhone ed iPad). Assistenza veramente pessima!!! Se deciderete di acquistare giochi da Big Fish Games tramite acquisti in-app sappiate che, un giorno, potreste non essere in grado di sbloccarli. Very beautiful game. After some years it’s impossibile to unlock the game i’ve previously bought by in-app purchase. I’ve the same problem with every game i’ve bought by in-app purchase from Big Fish Games. I’ve tried to contact Big Fish Games support but i’ve only received help for windows PC games (i’ve many times specified that my problems were about iPhone and iPad). Very bad support!!! You have to know that if you’ll decide to buy games from Big Fish Games by in-app purchase you’ll may not able to unlock your games after some times. ### 1/5 — Can’t get candle in Treehouse *2023-03-10, version 1.0.0* This issue has been brought up by people again and again, going back as far as seven years ago. It has never been fixed. Somehow some people have been able to get past it after trying a long time. Someone please tell me how to do that. I can’t proceed any further in the game because of this glitch. ### 1/5 — Won’t fit to screen *2021-08-19, version 1.0.0* Downloaded this on my 12 pro max and the game will not fit to screen!! It is very zoomed in and I can even play 😡 ### 1/5 — Formatting *2020-11-30, version 1.0.0* Please format this game for iPhone 12 mini ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-11-29, version 1.0.0* I can’t even get the game to start on my iPhone. I’ve deleted and downloaded it multiple times. The screen size looks off. As thought I’m only seeing a piece of the screen that doesn’t include anything I’m supposed to touch to get started. So frustrating. ### 1/5 — Maricha *2020-10-14, version 1.0.0* Où est le français 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Paranormal gifted one let me down *2020-03-23, version 1.0.0* I am so upset that this turned out to be a bust as I cannot remove the candle in the tree house to move on in the game (glitch). ### 1/5 — Not happy!! *2020-01-07, version 1.0.0* I downloaded and bought this game was playing it without any issues but then I went back into the game and now its saying my profile was corrupted!! Big fish answered my email and gave me a coupon which I can’t use cause I only have a phone and tablet no pc or laptop!! Still waiting on a refund or answer back!!! Not happy!! ### 1/5 — Spyware *2019-11-13, version 1.0.0* Downloaded this and Cadenza Kiss game and one of those put a isplash invitation at the bottom in my mail page in iPhone ### 1/5 — 残念やわ *2017-12-02, version 1.0.0* 木の上の家でのロウソクが取れません 何とかして下さい(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) 先に進めません。課金したのに改善しないのならお金返してください ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2021-02-23, version 1.0.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Great graphics! *2019-10-13, version 1.0.0* Really enjoying the game it really gets you involved into the the game itself plus when you just wanna relax and lose yourself into something. it’s a really good game to do exactly that! so hope you really enjoy it when you do try it. ### 5/5 — The gifted one *2018-07-24, version 1.0.0* Excellent loved it please make another like it!!! 😂👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Paranormal pursuit *2018-05-10, version 1.0.0* Really great game, awesome 👏 graphics puzzles- for free you get to play the first chapter takes 1-2 hrs will be buying game on pc for sure, iPhone tends to be too small to really enjoy hog mini games though had no issues here 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-03-02, version 1.0.0* I love this game!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-01-18, version 1.0.0* Great story line! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2017-01-03, version 1.0.0* Hands down one of the best big fish games I've played in ages, and I play a lot! Totally innovative, one of a kind. Nothing boring or tedious about this game. Mini games are wonderful and there is a slew of them, even the hidden object portions are mini games and they are totally unique. Love the special abilities portion of this game as well as the story line. I wish there were more like this! ### 5/5 — Good! *2016-11-07, version 1.0.0* Nice quality and lots of varieties~ ### 5/5 — Sequel !! *2016-10-21, version 1.0.0* Amazing game. This game had great graphics, puzzles, character interaction was mostly between Samantha and Kevin, since both were the key players. Agent Eric came near the end and there wasn't much dialogue needed between the two. Love the ending. Hope to see more games from this group, even a sequel. Well worth the price. ### 5/5 — おもしろい *2016-08-05, version 1.0.0* おもしろいです。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
