### 4/5 — Great game

*2020-07-01, version 1.0.0*

Love it !the story is good and graphics too . Really enjoying playing it . Would like to see more

### 5/5 — Behind the Mask

*2020-06-18, version 1.0.0*

I play lots of hidden item games and this was one of the best I’ve played. I really enjoyed this game. Can’t wait for the next one.
it’s one of those (You must play)  if you enjoy hidden  item games.

### 4/5 — Lugubre 😈

*2020-06-15, version 1.0.0*

Très lugubre, mais c’est le parti pris du développeur : prenez le temps de lire le générique plein d’humour. Beaucoup de minis-jeux. J’ai eu du mal à situer les déplacements ; heureusement qu’il y avait la carte.

### 5/5 — 怖いけど面白い

*2020-03-05, version 1.0.0*

なかなかに猟奇的で残酷だけどストーリーは面白い。
やりごたえもあって楽しかった。

### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Spiel

*2019-05-09, version 1.0.0*

Ich hatte nichts zu beanstanden. Spiel lief einwandfrei u. flüssig. Schön düstere Schauplätze einer stimmigen Geschichte. Sammelobjekte- u. Chamäleonobjekte vorhanden. WBS schön abwechslungsreich, die Minigames auch recht vielseitig u. unterschiedlich schwer. Die Länge ist prima. Klasse, dass man bei den Extras dann noch 3-gewinnt spielen konnte. Für mich perfekt.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-03-24, version 1.0.0*

A long game and a good one. It a pleasant change to find clever puzzles and a long story in one game. Definitely the best game so far this year 😎

### 5/5 — Good game so far

*2019-01-15, version 1.0.0*

I've just unlocked it, so it was holding my interest so far. Smooth play, cool scenery, interesting plot so far, fast teleporting, creepy music and sound effects are fun, decent acting, games and hobs.  I like this series so I think this will be another good purchase.

### 4/5 — ストーリー性は十分

*2018-05-08, version 1.0.0*

本編はボリュームもあり、ストーリー性も十分で面白かった。
ただ、このシリーズの難点は、内容が残虐すぎるところかな。。

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2018-01-07, version 1.0.0*

Not cheap at £6.99 but very long. Loads of interesting puzzles. Stunning graphics. Thank goodness for teleport as there are numerous locations. Can’t fault it.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2017-12-29, version 1.0.0*

Very fun and challenging.  The storyline is a little tragic, but it’s really worth playing (and, honestly, a shrink is definitely not necessary).  All of the Phantasmat games are very engaging and a lot of fun.

### 3/5 — 面白いが高過ぎる。

*2017-08-03, version 1.0.0*

なんで最近の作品は高いの⁇

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I have purchased game but cannot get whole game

*2020-06-24, version 1.0.0*

I have purchased game but cannot get whole game

### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich

*2017-01-03, version 1.0.0*

Grafiken lassen sich in den Spielen nicht vergrößern, für kleinere Bildschirme iPad Pro 9 nicht geeignet - werde reklamieren

### 2/5 — 脚本が終わってるしグロい

*2022-08-15, version 1.0.0*

久しぶりにこのメーカーのゲームをプレイしたが、相変わらず脚本は終わってると思った。主人公がゴーストたちの過去を知る演出が、目を閉じると幻影のように出てくる感じで「？？？」となる。 バックグラウンドがあやふやでわかりにくいくせに、詰まるところは「悪いゴーストを成敗せよ」で終わるんだから子供騙しもいいところ。（否、そもそも大の大人がプレイするものじゃない？？） ネタバレになるが、ストーリーのマジレビューをすると、サブタイから察するに、完全に仮面をつけるタイミングが逆じゃないかと思う。 普段善人そうな仮面をつけていて、その仮面が剥がれると恐ろしくて醜い素性が露わになるって方が、より不気味で面白くないだろうか。 あと、ちょっと猟奇的描写が多くて気分が悪くなった。年齢制限を15歳か18歳以上にした方が良いのでは？

### 2/5 — Intro too short

*2020-06-12, version 1.0.0*

There is no custom setting for difficulty and the info took about 10 min. Too short to judge the game so I won’t be purchasing it.

### 2/5 — Ghastly, Grisly, Grim Game...

*2017-11-04, version 1.0.0*

..if that is your style of game, this game is for you (it wouldn’t hurt if you visited a shrink sooner than later too). I’m giving the 2 stars for its playability; it wasn’t a bad game in that category. The content was a different story all together. First off, I enjoy a good macabre game as much as the next guy.  In this case, it crosses a line when it enters the murdering and torturing of children category. This is not & shouldn’t be considered “entertainment” & has no place in a widely available game like this. It’s shameful that big fish & the devs would promote this game.

### 3/5 — No audio

*2025-10-26, version 1.0.0*

I tried everything to bring the audio on but nothing works.

### 3/5 — Items/text tooooo small

*2020-06-19, version 1.0.0*

The game would be good if you could see anything. It’s very difficult to see the text or the words and definitely a lot of the items are too small to see. Also you need more skips. There are too many sections we have to sit through with long dialogue. Every section of dialogue should be skippable.

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2020-06-17, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyable 
  Some objects were difficult to move
Some didn’t register when I touched them 
But all in all it was fun

### 3/5 — Felt forced

*2020-06-17, version 1.0.0*

It’s like they are trying so hard to make a creepy, disturbing game that they forgot it WAS a game. Not many puzzles, and the ones included were very easy. It seemed light on hops too. Very creepy, but I felt the music didn’t go with it somehow. Really wanted to like this game, but it fell short. Warning: it is very disturbing and macabre.

### 3/5 — Slightly disappointed.

*2018-08-10, version 1.0.0*

It was really hard to get the rhythm of this game play.
Just not really impressed as I have been with the others.

Excellent fun

### 5/5 — Chillingly good

*2022-03-08, version 1.0.0*

Adore the games love the puzzles
Beware the family reunion

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever! Fabulous!

*2021-11-02, version 1.0.0*

This is absolutely, positively “the” best game I have ever played. ( and I have been playing these games since the 1990s)The atmosphere of the game was totally spooky, the music made it even more so.  The story was great!  Exploring all the rooms was cool as well as exploring each family member.  I usually hate  puzzles and mini games, but these were also excellent!  The games and puzzles were unique to the game. They were interesting and challenging, but also made sense, and if you can’t get it, you can skip. You felt rewarded after completing them! (not like you wanted to tear your hair out like other games.  And the game was long, I really felt like I got my money’s worth!  If I had one small criticism, it would be that I could not get the puzzle pieces to turn (must be a glitch), but no big deal because you could just skip it, although it’s a shame. This was a great, great game and I hope I can find more exactly like this in the future.  This is what game playing should be!  Thank you so much to everyone involved in making it!
