### 2/5 — I can’t purchase the full game or any episodes

*2023-06-17*

I enjoyed the game while it lasted but it’s not allowing me to purchase the full game or any episodes I have funds to do so but it won’t go to purchasing screen. Kind of irritating I would give a 5 star review if that was fixed and there’s no way to contact the developer directly:(

### 3/5 — I REALLY wanted to love this game

*2023-03-16*

And I actually do but problem is it won’t allow me to purchase full version. It only allows me to play the free part. When I try clicking the buy full version it won’t do anything. So that’s why I have to give 3 instead of 5 stars like I would if I could play the full game.

### 2/5 — Full game not available

*2023-02-14, version 2.0.6*

As others have said, only the preview intro chapter is available. Once it prompts you to purchase additional chapters or the full game, it just clicks.

### 1/5 — How do I purchase full game??

*2022-12-04, version 2.0.6*

Can’t download full game. I wanted to purchase it but the link inside the app doesn’t work. Also, app support just takes you to a website that literally has nothing at all to do with this game. Weird. I guess they don’t like money.

### 1/5 — Can’t buy full game

*2022-08-09, version 2.0.6*

Don’t even waste your time playing the beginning, the link to buy it doesn’t work and you can’t find the full game on the App Store to buy it. Really disappointing when it seems like a fun game.

### 1/5 — can’t continue

*2022-07-27, version 2.0.6*

the free trial was fine but the game won’t let me purchase any additional episodes 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Should be 4star but gets 1star due to 6 yr old bug!

*2022-07-27, version 2.0.6*

This had potential to be very cute, fun game. Good premise, nice scenes, etc. but when I finish free chapter and try to click to buy…it doesn’t work.  Cannot et to buy no matter what u do!  What’s worse, the reviews describe this exact same bug with buying…over SIX YEARS AGO?!  Come on developers…you’re shooting yourselves in the foot!  How many sales must this bug have lost you…as well as being crazy annoying. No time in 6yrs to fix?!?.

### 5/5 — Enjoyed the start

*2021-11-14, version 2.0.6*

Some glitches and rough edges mentioned in other reviews, yes, but none that truly impacted the function or flow of the game for me. The trial is substantial, including full high quality voice acting, gorgeous 3D graphics, and overall far more than I’d expect from a mobile game created several years ago (2015-ish, I believe). The 1.5gb of free content gives an ample demonstration of narrative, gameplay, aesthetic style, etc. this game offers, and I wanted to continue exploring it in the full version.

My only suggestion is to consider adjusting the price slightly for the full game. I hesitated to say that, given the investment of time/effort/resources needed to produce the product and how difficult the market is for this genre. At the time the game was released, I’d have considered its price a great bargain. If it’d had attempts to polish the minor glitches, or any maintenance updates in the past few years, I likely wouldn’t mention cost. However, after so long without attention, it’s fair to say the developers have moved on from this app; it is offered “as is.” So perhaps the price ought to come down a touch to reflect that. Just a thought.

That said, I strongly recommend the game. Even after years, it holds up favorably among its peers. All fans of classic point and click adventures should be glad when a game of this caliber is made, and show as much support as we’re able to.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-09-14, version 2.0.6*

I bought the full version which is a great decision,the storyline and graphics is great and it actually made me cry a little at the end.....it really makes you think

### 5/5 — Totally recommend

*2020-08-22, version 2.0.6*

I mean wow 🤩 it’s amazing 
 awesome storyline 
Amazing British accent
