A good warmup for the excellent Silk ### 4/5 — Epilogue *2025-11-21, version 1.8* It is a cute storyline..and I love the graphics… Epilogue needs one more puzzle..of med length..I was expecting one..Otherwise it’s too short.. ### 3/5 — Huh… well… what novel? *2025-07-16, version 1.8* The atmosphere is beautiful. The graphics are also fine. The price you pay for it is certainly very little, also. But I didn’t like the story at all… It lacked something. I had greater expectations, really. It felt all too simple, too quick — it lacked a certain depth that I would’ve loved to see & play through. Plus, the puzzles were too complex to enjoy and I actually had to look up tutorials when I got stuck (unfortunately there was only one). I think the ‘made easy’ button can be improved by actually making the puzzles easier — or giving hints to the player. Otherwise you’re just stuck, frustrated, no tutorials online. It’s quite baffling. Nevertheless, if those two are improved, I’d love to play more of these series. It would certainly increase the value of this project. Plus — adding easter eggs or collectibles would be an amazing addition. Good game. ### 2/5 — 😑 *2025-06-29, version 1.8* Fa fare un livello, poi bisogna pagarlo. Non vale comunque ### 3/5 — too short:( *2025-05-13, version 1.8* loved the game these games are my favorite type of games and silk was seriously the best game ever but I feel like this game was just too short. It was over way too quick. The ending just came out of nowhere. It definitely would’ve been better if it was longer and just had more puzzles. ### 4/5 — Way too short *2025-05-10, version 1.8* uch longer with more puzzles, and some had more difficult animations. Rusty Lake games, Five BN games, Forgotten Hill, AE Mysteries, etc. If you paid it was optional for hints or to buy more keys to unlock the next chapter which you could watch ads for them as well. I only paid because I wanted to help the developers. ### 3/5 — was really good *2025-04-28, version 1.8* it was a really good game, i was super bummed out when i only got to play 3-5 mins of actual gameplay then was told i had to pay for the rest ### 4/5 — Problema con cierto acertijo *2025-03-17, version 1.8* Me ha encantado el juego, incluso compré el juego completo y otro juego de ustedes (Silk), lamentablemente me quedé atorada en un acertijo que no he podido pasar por más intentos que hice, justo cuando uno llega a lamentablemente pirámide y debe forzar una cerradura, no sé si sea una falla, por más que siga las instrucciones y flechas no lo eh podido pasar, no sé si sea una falla en el juego o es que yo no eh podido descifrarlo de manera correcta, ojalá el soporte me pudiera ayudar, ya que de verdad me ha encantado el juego y por lo mismo pagué por este 💗. ### 5/5 — Phantastic game -love it! *2025-02-27, version 1.8* This game is so mystic and filled with atmosphere of ancient Egypt (as I do feel it). 1€ price is moooore than worth it! Not a fast or stressy game - more a relaxing one, where time doesn't matter. How should it matter in that enviroment... Love the game -also very symphatic support. So friendly and lovely author. So far 100 points - ok, I'm just started a few hours ago... All my best wishes to the author!! ### 2/5 — Nicht kostenlos *2025-02-24, version 1.8* Das Spiel ist an sich nicht kostenlos. Man kann eine kostenlose Preview spielen und danach kostet es 0,99€. Nicht viel, aber man hätte es von Anfang an, für den Preis anbieten sollen… ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-28, version 1.8* Really enjoyed playing , keep them coming. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-27, version 1.8* Thoroughly enjoyable game. ### 5/5 — Sand and Silk *2025-01-24, version 1.8* I thought Sand was fabulous and then my sister and I played Silk. The ending of the first was one type,b ut Silk was an even better ending! We’re both looking forward to your next one! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-03-08, version 1.8* You can’t really play the game. It just gives you a taste and then you have to buy it. Very clumsy to play. ### 1/5 — not even the full game *2025-08-02, version 1.8* be so fr you have to pay to do the rest of the game after completing like two puzzles. Waste of my time tbh. ### 1/5 — không đánh giá cao *2025-06-23, version 1.8* game gì mà tính phi xong chơi được thêm có 1 tẹo đánh giá là không nên mua phí tiền ### 1/5 — 👎...Wish the Developer would Respond to a "Help me..." *2025-04-10, version 1.8* UPDATE #3 ...well, here it is April of 2025 and I am still waiting for help from the Developer, but so far, nothing -- Very disappointing and imo, this is actually just frustratingly nonexistent support. Buying this game was a total waste of money... 💸💸💸💸💸💸 👎 UPDATE: 2) My first email to the developer was apparently missed so I sent a second email including access to the requested game play video clip of the problem. I am pasting in the accompanying message here as well just in case the developer misses my second email and needs to know it was sent and what I said: "Greetings Manuelamisani, Thanks for responding to my posted comment requesting help with properly moving the key in the lock issue that I've been experiencing when trying to play Sand. A thought occurs to me as follows: it would be good if the game could be updated to allow players to skip puzzles when this sort of thing pops up. I'm not a gaming perfectionist and would be happy to just press a skip puzzle icon instead of having to spend time getting help troubleshooting game play problems -- plus, in the long run it might help boost sales as well as possibly save you some time too. Anyway, you requested a video clip of my failed attempts -- here it is: In case it's relevant, please note that I was not at any time able to fully insert the key all the way into the key hole of the lock." *********************************************************************** 1)This review is about an issue that has kept me from playing the game. During October, 2024, I reached out for help but so far the Developer has not responded to my message: ................"I purchased Sand recently but sadly, I am stuck, unable to get the lock pick to successfully work. I have referred to the related symbols, then watched the related Pixlab YouTube walkthrough section to see if that would help me get past this puzzle since I'm getting pretty frustrated trying to move the pick as shown and by now I'm not having fun (which is why I bought your game). Anyway, now I just need your help, please, so I can just get past this issue and continue playing. In case it's helpful, I'm using an iPad that's running iPad OS 17. ...Thanks in Advance for helping me get past this now annoying problem." ### 1/5 — Terribly dull — I wish I hadn’t bothered. *2025-03-23, version 1.8* See title ### 1/5 — Stuck at the scarab! *2025-03-11, version 1.8* How the hell are you supposed to write the answer on the screen? No stylus here, so annoying. ### 1/5 — Game is not free *2025-03-07, version 1.8* This game appears to be free until after the first chapter ### 1/5 — Ew *2025-01-09, version 1.8* No es gratis, la idea es muy buena, hay pocos juegos buenos y con buenas tecnicas de juego, y que son verdaderamente GRATIS. ### 1/5 — Play for 5 mins then need to buy to continue *2024-12-31, version 1.8* That’s ridiculous. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — I hate it *2024-12-15, version 1.8* It’s fun but didn’t say that I have to but to play more games at least put more that one free chapter like WHAT hate it giving it 1 star ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fun *2026-03-04, version 1.8* It caught my attention and was really fun in a addictive way 😂 ### 5/5 — Lovely puzzles and music *2026-02-20, version 1.8* This is a lovely way to spend a few hours. The story is charming, the puzzles are hard but have good hints. The graphic design is great and it looks like the authors have been to Egypt. The music helps the atmosphere enormously. ### 5/5 — Alicia *2025-11-21, version 1.8* This was a very fun game to play! Started it once a long time ago but, didn’t finish it! Thanks for the walkthrough because it helped me finish it this time! Lovely story ### 5/5 — PHE *2025-10-09, version 1.8* Omg this was really fun! I’m not really into reading stories and stuff, but I actually found myself not skipping through the cut scenes. Amazing game not too easy but not too difficult just perfect🫶 ### 5/5 — Great job! *2025-09-28, version 1.8* I don’t leave many reviews but this game was great! Fun, easy to understand, and entertaining. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — looking forward for more games *2025-08-21, version 1.8* good game. puzzles very intriguing and challenging. graphics so good too it is easy to read dialogue. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-06-10, version 1.8* More please. Really enjoyed playing. Engaging and good story line. Waiting for more adventures and well worth the cost ### 5/5 — I LOVED IT *2025-05-22, version 1.8* I love point and click adventures, and I don’t usually reviews but I had to leave a review on this game cause for some reason it’s not getting the love it deserves!!! I felt super immersed in the story and I personally think the developers did an amazing job! It’s hard finding point and click games with actual story compared to just basic escape games, and this one does an AMAZING job!! The story has so much depth and it left me wanting more! It was absolutely worth every penny!!!! I’m gonna go play the rest of your games now, you guys have a committed fan!😁 ### 5/5 — awesome game *2025-04-30, version 1.8* played both of his games now, i LOVE that you get the option for a simpler puzzle and the hints are so good too i love that you don’t need coins for hints too!! amazing game’s, wish there were more like it. ### 5/5 — Предисловие к Silk *2025-04-28* Замечательная игра-приключение с разнообразными головоломками. Полная версия стоит всего 100 рублей. Относительно части Silk, выглядит менее интересно, но в качестве первого знакомства подойдет --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
