Very confused ### 2/5 — Purchase failure and game frozen *2023-05-28, version 1.0.0* I was playing the game and enjoy it enough to actually purchase the full version into the game. There is a scene where you have to find hidden objects in the sparkle section it’s seized at this point it’s the same where there is a cart.So I deleted the game and reloaded it and my purchase was not recognised. I checked my Apple account and no it hasn’t gone through at this stage two days later it did, but the game still does not recognise my purchase and neither does my account with big fish, so I have paid money for something. I have not received and not knowing where to complain about it to help page seems to have been shut down as far as I can to not happy. ### 2/5 — Sea of lies *2022-12-31, version 1.0.0* Won’t let me access bonus game even though main game has ended including titles rolling at the end, don’t know what else to try. ### 4/5 — Time spent… *2022-06-09, version 1.0.0* This time it was worth $7.50. The games are getting better but this one had a few issues sticking here and there audio disappearing. I have yet to play any of these games without some kind of a problem . I have kept all my receipts and I’ve bought over 60 of these games and probably more . ### 3/5 — Unable access bonus game *2021-01-27, version 1.0.0* This seems to have been a problem for year with no fix. I guess customer satisfaction isn’t a priority. ### 2/5 — Freezing *2019-10-09, version 1.0.0* Can not move the envelope from the inventory to the gentleman in the plaza! ### 4/5 — A few bugs! *2019-06-01, version 1.0.0* The game crashed after an hour of play so I had to restart it from the beginning. All was well then until the bonus games at the end - it refused to let me collect the final chest in order to play the bonus scene which was disappointing, every time I tried the game crashed and took me back to the home screen. Annoying. ### 4/5 — Trial Stage *2019-05-26, version 1.0.0* So far so good...I’m hooked! ### 4/5 — Great game *2019-05-24, version 1.0.0* Great game. I finished and have watched the lengthy credits three times and I can not get to the bonus game and other features. So for that, I am only giving 4 stars. ### 2/5 — Glitch at the end of the game reset treasure chest so bonus game will not open. *2019-05-22, version 1.0.0* Glitch at the end of the game resets your treasure chest and stops the bonus game from opening once you finish the game. The game is just okay, the jumping back and forth for for inventory items is the worst I have ever played. Constant tour of this three of the four of those but I enjoyed the puzzles more than most games. Kudos to whoever came up with those puzzles the best part of this game. ### 2/5 — What the! *2019-05-19, version 1.0.0* Paid for game that I can’t play! Hint says give letter to Sergio however all items in inventory are frozen when I go to where Sergio is sitting. Feeling ripped off. ### 3/5 — Ok *2017-11-20, version 1.0.0* Prefer higher res images ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2017-02-20, version 1.0.0* Played through game and bonus round then using extras like finding the chests, the game started crashing. This is completely unlike Sea of Lies Burning Coast which was flawless. Game also lost my profile after crashing. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-01-23, version 1.0.0* Very pretty and the puzzles are quite engaging but it's quite a short game and the bug in the boat & cart scene still prevents any further progress past this point! I can't understand why big fish are happy to taint their reputation by continuing to flog fatally flawed games! ### 3/5 — Sea of Lies Nemesis *2017-01-05, version 1.0.0* Very annoyed with the game.When in the mortuary, take sheet off, but HOPS will not allow to get Formalhyde? Can't get any further, grrrr.😡 ### 4/5 — Loved the game but *2016-08-30, version 1.0.0* I can't access the bonus game. I've played the main game but every time I try clicking on the bonus game it tells me I have to complete the main game first. When I click back on the main game it takes me too the end credits. I've tried letting the credits play completely until it was finished but it just plays on a loop. I don't know what to do it's very frustrating! Please fix this asap!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ugh, giant glitch *2023-03-27, version 1.0.0* I was at the end of chapter 4, and completed the HOP, but didn’t get anything, now it sparkles to play it, but when I click on it, it goes black, then sparkles again. I don’t want to start over, really frustrated. ### 1/5 — No bonus *2019-05-25, version 1.0.0* Got to the end. Watched the credits. Tried to play bonus game. You must finish the main game first. Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Bonus chapter not available. *2019-05-19, version 1.0.0* I finished the game and let the credits roll, but it won’t allow me to play the bonus chapter. Keeps telling me I have to finish the game ### 1/5 — Can’t get at sales price of 65% off *2019-05-17, version 1.0.0* I’ve downloaded game 2xs but it keeps trying to charge me 6.99 to unlock. It’s 5/17 at 5:00 pm CST. Please fix. Your coupons to make up difference etc only work on pc and I only use my iPad please help.will update if am ever able to play it. ### 1/5 — Sale? *2019-05-17, version 1.0.0* Says it’s on sale but when you go to buy it, it says 6.99 ....... ### 1/5 — Sales!! *2019-05-16, version 1.0.0* Why is it that you have it on sales (2.99$) but when in try to unlock it it says i have to bay (6.99$)!! ### 1/5 — On sale, upto 65% off? *2019-05-16, version 1.0.0* Thought I would get this game as it was saying that it is upto 65% off. I downloaded it and went through to buy it as when on this kind of offer it is only £2.99. But no, it came up £6.99 for full game unlock, so how much is it normally. Needless to say I got out of that quick. ### 1/5 — HOG PROBLEMS *2019-05-08, version 1.0.0* I was kicked out both at chapter 5 then after deleting and downloading a second time I was kicked out at the dock. Without getting the red pepper and the fire source there is no way to go forward. I have downloaded this a third time; we’ll see how it goes. ### 1/5 — Game Glitches on Letter Delivery *2018-09-21, version 1.0.0* The games glitches when it’s time to deliver the letter to Sergio. I have the letter, but I can’t touch it when in the scene where I’m supposed to give it to him. (In any other scene, I can tap and hold it and the tooltip tells me it’s a letter.). I can’t move on in the game, so purchasing it was a total waste of money (Refund please!!!)! ### 1/5 — Still not fixed! Do not buy! *2017-11-15, version 1.0.0* Two years on and this game is still not fixed! I just paid for it and cannot play past where you are meant to get into the wine cellar. There is a hidden object scene and it won’t let you in. You knew about these issues 2 years ago Big Fish. Don’t buy this game, what a waste of $5.99!!!! Refund please! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Schönes Spiel *2019-05-22, version 1.0.0* Ein schönes unterhaltsames spiel. Es hat viel Spaß gemacht, super Bonus Material ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-05-22, version 1.0.0* Best game I’ve played in a long time !!!! ### 5/5 — Sea of lies *2019-05-18* Just started this so can’t give too much of a feedback yet...but so far it’s the best hidden object game I’ve played in a long time. Hoping the entire game continues this well. ### 5/5 — Sehr gutes Spiel *2017-11-17, version 1.0.0* Kann mich den Rezis der anderen voll anschliessen. Stimmige Story, sehr gute Spiellänge, schöne Grafik. Zwar Wimmelbilder etwas eintönig und Minigames ein bisschen einfach. Trotzdem kein Abzug, da sonst alles stimmte. Bin noch beim BK, aber das ist genauso gut wie das Hauptspiel. ### 5/5 — Seeeehr schön😄😄😄 *2016-02-09, version 1.0.0* Super schöne Geschichte, tolle Grafik. Ließ sich ohne Probleme durchspielen. Rundum-einfach perfekt. Freue mich auf den nächsten Teil. ### 5/5 — Great game👍🏼👍🏼 *2016-01-06, version 1.0.0* This game caught my interest right from the beginning, which I find lately it's getting harder and harder to do. It was a nice change from the "special power, evil witch etc..." type of games that have been the norm lately. Graphics were amazing and the storey flowed perfectly. Hidden object scenes weren't boring, with different stages to them or a match 3 game if you preferred. Map included as well. 5 stars for me! ### 5/5 — Eine fantastische Serie *2016-01-03, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel ist hervorragend noch besser als der erste Teil. Karte, Bonusspiel und noch weitere Extras einfach toll. Eigentlich müsste man mehr Sterne vergeben⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Die Schauplätze liebevoll gestaltet, die Grafik sehr gut. Der Kauf hat sich gelohnt. ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-10-20, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this game. No glitches. Good story. Has zoom feature. Good voice acting. Great graphics. Also at the end of the game I was able to go back and find the treasure chests and souvenirs I missed in the extras section. I also found that there were 3 match 3 games in the extras section that I could play to acquire more gold for buying statues. ### 5/5 — Loved it *2015-10-03, version 1.0.0* I really enjoyed this game great interesting and new puzzles. Liked that you had to make items in HOS to find other objects. Great graphics liked finding the treasure chests. ### 5/5 — Entertaining. *2015-09-25, version 1.0.0* I loved it, loved it, loved it! I'm sorry so many ppl have annoying issues with their games, I very rarely do, and usually it's easy to overcome. For me, that is. 💋 to the staff at BigFish. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
