### 2/5 — Tienes que reiniciar el juego y aun así sigue trabado

*2020-11-25*

GASTE MI DINERO PARA NADA, quiero un rembolso ☹️
Al querer pasar al “siguiente capítulo” el juego se queda en negro y sigue el sonido pero se congela en lo negro y no puedes hacer nada más que reiniciar el juego y sigue igual, si te sales pierdes todo tu progreso 
En mi opinión no te lo recomiendo mucho 😓

### 2/5 — Needs a non VR mode

*2020-06-22*

Would be great if there was a non VR first person mode with controls to actually play the game. Would make it more usable when travelling or in bed etc.

### 2/5 — Eu quero o cápitulo 2 agora!

*2019-09-26, version 1.0.7*

Eu dei 2 estrelas por que vocês não criam o capítulo 2 eu não aguento esperar mais

### 3/5 — Demasiado corto!!

*2019-06-17*

Te enganchas muy fácil pero es demasiado corto

### 5/5 — )

*2019-06-13*

Очень хорошая игра! Но мне кажется слишком короткая ,проходится минут за 10 и подсказок нужно побольше😅.) А так всем советую!!!

### 5/5 — Esse jogo valeu o resto do tempo da minha vida!

*2019-06-07, version 1.0.7*

Tá esperando o que para baixar e ver com seus próprios olhos uma obra de arte dessas?

Aos desenvolvedores, parabéns, nós jogadores gostaríamos de ver uma segunda parte

### 2/5 — Ben mutfaktaki kuşu bulamadım

*2019-05-25, version 1.0.7*

Daha kolay yapabilirdiniz yanı kuşu kolay yere saklasaydınız iyi olurdu öyle yapana kadar 2 yıldızla yetinin ve korkunç olan çocuklar sanırım ama ben bişey görmedim

### 4/5 — 👌

*2019-05-17*

Идея очень хорошая, в плане AR, но:
 Однотипные «уровни». Сначала тупо нажимаешь по всему экрану в целях найти предметы, потом (самое интересное на мой взгляд) ищешь перспективу, чтобы собрать картинку (кто играл, тот поймёт, однако я пишу отзыв разработчикам). И на этом все. И так 3 раза с чуть усложнённым последующим уровнем. Из этого следует, что следующие уровни должны быть наполнены новыми (не однотипными) заданиями и большей криповостью. 
 Про иногда логающий AR и оооочень быстро нагревающийся телефон промолчу, так как я считаю это мелочи. Можно всего-то не играть и дать телефону остыть на некоторое время. 
 Ну и самое главное- игра мега короткая. Ты только начал играть, а она уже закончилась. 
   Я надеюсь все впереди и добавят новые уровни с ещё большим контентом.

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2019-05-11*

Интересная игра

### 5/5 — Коротко...

*2019-05-10*

Будет ли когда-нибудь продолжение этой чудесной игры?

### 5/5 — Достойно

*2019-05-09*

Наверное лучший (после рулетки от Apple) пример применения AR, с которым мне приходилось встречаться. Я думал такое вряд ли возможно, но игра заставила меня может и не испугаться до кирпичей, но как минимум пару раз вздрогнуть.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2019-05-04, version 1.0.7*

I’m hooked. I hope there is more in the pipeline?

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-04-28, version 1.0.7*

It is good and challenging and I would love for a sequel to this but maybe have it for AR glasses and this one to so it better to play

### 5/5 — Супер , разроботчикам респект

*2019-04-16*

Просто прекрасная игра ещё и бесплатная и русские субтитры имеются , не долгая прикольная игра

### 5/5 — Хм

*2019-04-09*

Игра класс,а будет ли продолжение?

### 5/5 — Great game get it

*2019-03-17, version 1.0.7*

Great game! Good few minutes of fun. Get the game, there’s no harm if you do because it’s free!

### 1/5 — Creepy yet loveable

*2020-05-03, version 1.0.7*

I played and gave this app 5 stars years ago. Now they only get one because there’s no chapter 2 😡

### 1/5 — Não vale a pena terrível

*2020-02-25, version 1.0.7*

O preço não bate com o jogo, eu pensava sobre andar pela minha casa, mas o jogo é em uma mesa ou no chão. Os gráficos são ruins, história terrível, nem de graça ia valer a pena.

### 1/5 — Le doy una estrella porque:

*2019-07-26, version 1.0.7*

Done en su momento porque ame este juego, y nunca más continuo.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous controls

*2019-06-26, version 1.0.7*

Can’t even get past the first scene, completely faulty. “Anchor the camera to find a surface” but doesn’t recognise a single surface, it expects you to stand up and play while leaning slightly down with your camera on a table. 
No thank you!

### 1/5 — ???

*2018-08-12, version 1.0.7*

não funciona

### 1/5 — Can’t find the phone

*2018-06-26, version 1.0.7*

That’s definitely not a phone

### 1/5 — I need a light room with a flat surface!?

*2018-05-09, version 1.0.6*

Bought this to play as I lie in bed and the room is dark and I am lying down so I’m stuffed.

They really need to make this clearer!

Plus it NEEDS access to your camera. I’m thinking of all those devices spying on you whilst your at home conspiracies...

### 1/5 — Demo app that will never be finished

*2018-04-13*

I’m really into AR games right now, and this was one of the big disappointments. The rooms I did play were boring and didn’t keep my attention so I kept closing the game. Ok, I get that it’s a demo app and everything, but why would anyone want to put out something that has no end or resolution to the story? There is a note in the game I’m glad I saw, which states that “the game is on hold for the foreseeable future due to the current state of AR.” The developers must not live in this current world where AR is getting bigger every day. I deleted the app upon reading that, I don’t want to start playing something only to get stuck and realize the game just arbitrarily ends with no real ending. So if you want to play an unfinished demo app only to be disappointed, go ahead. I will be downloading some great finished AR games on the App Store instead.

### 1/5 — So much potential... Yet severely lacking.

*2017-12-26, version 1.0.5*

I very much enjoyed the layout and UI of this game, but BEFORE YOU BUY, know that play time for this game is EXTREMELY SHORT and was very, very disappointing. Definitely was NOT worth buying.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2017-12-19, version 1.0.4*

I try to find a good surface, once I do I look around it several times like it asks but nothing. It gives no result and doesn't work

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2022-01-08*

Waiting for the continuation

### 5/5 — Muito bom só faltou VR

*2021-05-16, version 1.0.7*

Muito bom mas porque vocês não adaptam para usar com VR também? Basta dividir a tela em 2 e a gente colocar o celular num óculos VR com um buraco para a câmera. Deixaria ainda mais imersivo!

### 5/5 — Es hermoso
