### 4/5 — Sympa, mais court et facile

*2026-07-05, version 1.9.12*

Amateur de ce genre de jeux, j’ai apprécié les puzzles, mais le jeu est beaucoup trop facile, en plus d’être très court. Heureusement, on va dire que je jeu est offert avec le pack de l’éditeur.

### 2/5 — Simplistic, short

*2024-12-29, version 1.9.12*

This games puzzles are too simplistic and the game very short esp for the price point.  80% of game time is spent walking around and retracing your steps not solving puzzles.  Would have been a good game at half the price.

### 2/5 — Trop court

*2024-11-05, version 1.9.12*

Fini en 1h en gros… vraiment, aucun intérêt.

### 4/5 — Good….

*2024-08-15, version 1.9.12*

Waiting for hints is excruciating & no location jumps on the map - negatives. Story and puzzles- great!

### 2/5 — Viel zu kurz

*2024-02-25, version 1.9.12*

Nett gemacht, aber viel zu kurz. Gerade gekauft und ca. 15 Minuten später schon durchgespielt 😳

### 4/5 — Discreto

*2023-12-10, version 1.9.9*

Finito in 20 minuti scarsi di gioco. Enigmi tutti molto lineari e logici che portano da soli alla soluzione, ovviamente se siete appassionati del genere. In linea di massima ok perché costa molto poco. Ma non aspettatevi niente di che.

### 5/5 — The good old days

*2023-06-25, version 1.9.9*

I LOVE this game. It is literally my childhood. When I was younger I would spend the night at my Grammys house with my cousin and we would play this and the lost city. This gave me so much nostalgia when I downloaded it again. I got it today and I still remember how to beat the game in 5 minutes. I absolutely love this game sm

### 5/5 — Семён

*2023-02-22, version 1.9.9*

игра страшная 👻

### 5/5 — i LOVE the secret

*2023-02-13, version 1.9.9*

i do

### 3/5 — Fun but super short

*2023-01-15, version 1.9.9*

Was a lot of fun, and I know it was only a buck, but hoped for a bit more than 15 minutes of play time.

### 5/5 — Best game developer ever

*2022-11-15, version 1.9.9*

I love each and every game this developer create. I just finished the latest game: Curse of The Cobra and I just can’t wait till the next game.

I have one request: please make us updated in twitter in regards to the stages of developing new games.

My siblings love the games too and we compete who finishes the game first. 

When is your next game?

Best game developer ever.
Highlyyyyyyy recommended and worth every game of the series. Your fan from Saudi Arabia.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game

*2022-08-06, version 1.9.9*

Excellent graphics and story is also inspiring.  Thanks to developer for a wonderful experience.

### 2/5 — Game is impossible to complete

*2022-07-15, version 1.9.9*

I was playing the game and it was fun until you have to complete the puzzle in the globe. I couldn’t work out what the clue was so I looked up a game guide that said the answer was “LOVE” because of a poster in a secret room but there was no poster and when I put in the colours of the letters in the word it wouldn’t open or show that I solved it.
This makes the game literally impossible to complete.
Overall a fun game to start with but a waste of money as there is literally no end

### 3/5 — Eigentlich super.

*2022-06-14, version 1.9.9*

Aber auch mit dem gerade erschienenen Update läuft es nicht auf dem iPad 7

### 2/5 — Grisly Manor 👎🏻

*2022-03-22, version 1.9.8*

Die Grafik ist schlecht, die Story langweilig, die “Rätsel” zu einfach und das ganze Spiel ist viel kurz. Dafür Geld zu verlangen ist unverschämt.

### 5/5 — Favorite game ever

*2022-01-21, version 1.9.8*

I have played this when I was younger and I have played all of  the others and loved them to! Can’t wait for a new game ( hopefully Grizzly Manor 3!)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Short

*2026-03-14, version 1.9.12*

I was looking forward to a new mystery game. I think it took me about 30 min to finish. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — No está en Español

*2024-11-10, version 1.9.12*

Hace tiempo compré este juego y me aparecía en español, después de un tiempo sin jugar, lo he vuelto a descargar y el español ha desaparecido de su menú

### 1/5 — No sound at all

*2024-05-14, version 1.9.12*

Please help, it won’t play any sound

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-25, version 1.9.8*

Can I get my money back? The game doesn’t work, the clues don’t work, the map doesn’t work and you can’t even finish the game because some of the puzzles don’t work. I will apply it towards another game but this is not cool

### 1/5 — Super court

*2020-07-19, version 1.9.8*

A peine le temps d’y prendre goût que c’est fini.

### 1/5 — This was a rip off!!!!!

*2020-06-09, version 1.9.8*

I spent a dollar on this game and I literally finished it in 10 minutes. Wasn’t even fun do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Too short to be worth anything

*2020-01-26, version 1.9.8*

Breezes through the puzzles too quickly and they weren’t very interesting.  Feels really clunky and was finished in about 30 minutes.  Not worth a dollar.

### 1/5 — Not a full game - pay, pay, pay

*2019-12-20, version 1.9.8*

I bought this thinking it was a full length game. Finished what is essentially a short chapter in under a half hour then got offered chapters/adventures for additional money. Not about to spend more for such short play. Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — ОЧЕНЬ КОРОТКАЯ!!!

*2019-06-16, version 1.9.8*

Таких игр можно бесплатно накачать.

### 1/5 — Idioma.

*2019-03-10, version 1.9.8*

Por qué no viene en español ?

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-07-30, version 1.9.12*

Özellikle devam oyunu ile birlikte harika bir hikaye bütünlüğü yakalamış. Back to the future evrenine alternatif, güzel bir deneyimdi.

### 5/5 — Dose anyone need help?

*2026-07-02, version 1.9.12*

People who need help can contact me and i can give you hints for example you have to put water in the bath and clog it and THEN pour the fish bowl in the water so you can get rid of the fish

### 5/5 — Fun for all ages

*2026-03-21, version 1.9.12*

I enjoy adventure games, but most are a little scary for younger kids. I like to play sometimes with my kids that are 4 and 6 years old. Grisly Manor is not scary for kids, but also is clever enough with fun puzzles that require thinking. The kids can still complete things, but it is also fun to discover things as an adult. We've played most of Fire Maple games together and they are all fun.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-01-22, version 1.9.12*

Bom demais

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2024-08-19, version 1.9.12*

簡単にサクッと出来る短編アクション脱出ゲーム
ミストみたいな世界観が好きなのでこのシリーズハマってます
サクッと終わるところが良き
長編だと途中ダレたり、放置すると次何をやるんだっけ？と思い出せなくなるのでw

### 5/5 — Il reste un bug après la maj févr 2024

*2024-02-16, version 1.9.10*

Quand on met le cube dans la cheminée et que le feu est éteint on a un msg d’erreur et ça plante
