### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-25, version 1.1.1*

It was good but I couldn’t fine the key

### 4/5 — Next time can you make very little nightmares 2?!

*2026-05-19, version 1.1.1*

I love this game but I also want you to make very little nightmares 2 can make both of the games long!😀😁

### 3/5 — Игра очень короткая

*2026-05-05*

Я эту игру прошел за час и мне стало скучно.

### 5/5 — Eerie

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.1*

The game has an eerie atmosphere, youre alone and the charecter appears to be some sort of entity thst had telekanises or something, but straight to the point: this is an awesome game and I hope to find or sre a continuation sometime soon

### 3/5 — Short or incomplete

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.1*

It is short and there is an end…. It just isn’t “the end”.  After so long without new content it will likely stay this way.
Having said that the devs made an interesting little diversion with a pleasant atmosphere.
Hopefully someday they will be together.

### 2/5 — Too short

*2026-04-08, version 1.1.1*

This game needs so much more gameplay…it’s a shame it’s over in about 10 minutes

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-04-04, version 1.1.1*

This game was really fun I recommend you should play it but I was upset that you couldn’t get to the end of the story but it’s really fun and if you like puzzles I recommend ;)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-03-23, version 1.1.1*

I loved it so much but I was sad when that I saw that it was last updated five years ago it was over two years ago that I last played

### 4/5 — Cute, short but buggy

*2026-03-12, version 1.1.1*

Actually yah the title is the whole review

### 5/5 — ?

*2026-03-09*

Waiting for 5 years.

### 5/5 — Too short

*2026-03-05, version 1.1.1*

I finished this game in a couple minutes. I really enjoyed it and was disappointed when I realized I wouldn’t be discovering the mystery to the story anytime soon. Also looks like the last update was 5 yrs ago so I doubt any more updates will happen. I have an iPhone 17 and had no issues with gameplay at all. Not everything tilts, sometimes you have to find items. If you’re stuck you didn’t solve the puzzle.

### 5/5 — Game

*2026-02-17, version 1.1.1*

Very cool game love the story hope for it to release soon I wanna know what happened next. And the mechanics of the game are so unique and cool.

### 2/5 — Will not work on new devices

*2026-02-16, version 1.1.1*

I was struggling to figure out how to even play the game, I have a iPhone 16 and was trying to tilt to boat to me, I looked it up and this game isn’t capable with newer phones, what a shame it looks fun.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2026-02-11, version 1.1.1*

Finished in a hour please update soon edit) it’s been five years I don’t think ur coming back …..

### 4/5 — SUPER SHORT

*2026-02-08, version 1.1.1*

This game was really good, a bit puzzling but not impossible to figure out. However I have to warn you, while this game is something I would still play, it lasted me about ten minutes or less. Would definitely recommend, but not if you’re looking for something more long term.

### 5/5 — DON’T GIVE UP

*2026-02-06, version 1.1.1*

To the creators, do not give up on this game. I love it so much and I know tons of other people do too.

### 4/5 — Worth playing

*2026-01-28*

I started playing this game a while ago and I really was amused by the art style of the game.
The art style of this game is really amazing. If this game in future can develop a better storyline it’ll be much better.

### 1/5 — What happened??

*2026-06-14, version 1.1.1*

I couldn’t finish the game because things just wouldn’t work and every time I made a mistake or something malfunctioned I had to restart the entire game. Disappointing

### 1/5 — قصيرة جدا

لعبة جميلة لكن قصيرة جدا

### 1/5 — Too short

*2026-01-27, version 1.1.1*

Way fun just waaaay so short of a game needs extension

### 1/5 — Don’t know Morse Code

*2025-09-04, version 1.1.1*

I’m just a hater who was never taught morse code. Nobody I know has ever learned Morse Code puzzle games just throwing knowledge checks at us now.

### 1/5 — 道具無法用

*2025-08-10, version 1.1.1*

都被手機瀏海擋住了
還不能轉方向
搞啥小？

### 1/5 — Муть

*2025-07-09, version 1.1.1*

Ничего не понятно с самого начала игры. Могли бы подсказки сделать

### 1/5 — Баги

*2025-07-04*

Буквально на втором уровне, вставил капсулу в трубу и 10 минут ходил бродил, ничего не открывалось, потом дверь сама открылась - буквально сама.

Прошел дальше, локация с двумя колонами, верхняя наглухо стоит и не двигается, а нижняя уходит как только кнопку нажмешь, 10 минут пробовал, в гугле пишут что у меня баг на баге. IPhone 14pro.

Удачи всем в исправление багов, особенно backend people

### 1/5 — Игра глючит

*2025-04-20, version 1.1.1*

Игра глючит

### 1/5 — Love the game, hate the ending

*2025-04-19, version 1.1.1*

I love this game, and it gave me something to do for 10 minutes. I was so happy when I got the key in the last room, and was expecting to meet the so called second character. I got my hopes up for nothing. All I get is “to be continued.” WHAT THE FREAK! Developers, please make a part two.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.1*

IT WAS SO FUN TO PLAY!!! I absolutely loved digging around to find out what to do next and whilst it was a short play, it was fun and it broke my heart to learn it wasn’t completely done at the end! Even so, it was absolutely stunning in visuals, sounds, and story!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.1*

I love the adventures , it was so fun even I finished it quickly ,I also love the graphics (It’s so good), the sounds . Can’t wait what will happen next in the story

### 5/5 — Мило

*2026-08-10*

Все вопросы решаются, когда понимаешь что игра реагирует на поворот экрана, атмосферная рисовка, приятная глазу, очень мило прорисованы локации проживания(члена семьи? Партнера? Друга? Простите, плохо знаю Английский, не поняла это) фотографии, рисунки, куклы! Очень радует детализация. Удачи вам! 🖤🤍

### 5/5 — Me and my little shadow dude for life bro

*2026-07-02, version 1.1.1*

### 5/5 — 🤩

*2026-06-22*

Игра очень классная, но мало(( очень хотелось бы продолжения. (ребят, кто застрял на ключе и брусках, встряхните телефон и наклоните вправо, они типа уподет и поползет к вам, вы только блоки настройте с помощью рычага)

### 5/5 — Make it longer
