Such a good game!

Love how many levels there were, as well as the storyline. The two games that really stuck out to me were the lying game and voodoo! So creepy!

Meu favorito até o momento!

Jogo bem longo, complicado (do jeito que eu gosto) e tudo vai se conectando e fazendo sentido de uma forma linda, da vontade de jogar mais e mais

Best game ever!!!!!

A lot of puzzles, but not that really hard ones, and a lot of story. Literally the best one of the series and absolutely will play again

Ich liebe alle eure Spiele und hoffe so sehr, dass noch viele weitere geplant sind!
Man fühlt sich in eine absolut andere Welt versetzt, zu der man nach dem ersten Spiel schon dazu gehört!

Vielen Dank! Und hoffentlich auf viele weitere!

Se vc termina uma fase e fecha o app, quando volta tem que repetir a fase pq ele não marca como terminado. Tremendamente chato.
