### 4/5 — No way to skip in puzzles

*2020-10-08, version 1.0.0*

I was really liking this game!  Then I discovered - no way to skip puzzles! Sometimes, I don’t feel like playing a puzzle.  There is no way to skip! That is really disappointing and I have never played a game like this. I will sadly probably move on to another game.

### 3/5 — Requiem

*2019-05-03, version 1.0.0*

I haven’t gotten too far into the game yet, but so far, I don’t like it. Too many mini games, which I’m not a fan of, and there is no morphing, which I’m a fan of.  The graphics and voiceovers are good. Oh, I like collecting the pearls.  I may change my rating later.

### 4/5 — Interesting so far         Requirm for Lily

*2019-02-17, version 1.0.0*

A couple of glitches but easily fixed. Some puzzles too hard others were fascinating I enjoyed the creativity of the hidden objects.This was a fun game When is Big Fish games going to give us new games.Did they run out of companies making these HO games.  All the ones that coming out now are old games with new names. So you buy then realize you have already played. Very sneaky. No Christmas games this past season 2018. Very disappointed. I have bought enough reruns. So I’m done with Big Fish until they have new games.Period

### 4/5 — Good game 👍🏼

*2017-12-16, version 1.0.0*

I've been a fan of Shiver games since their beginning and I am always intrigued by the complexity of the mini games. i like a good challenge, so kudos to them on that aspect.

Daily deal purchase after 20 mins of demo play.

### 4/5 — Jac

*2016-03-04, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoy this game. I have played it a few times now and my only complaint would be it freezing every time i try to fill the gun powder tube near the end of the bonus game, I have to turn it off then restart for it to correct itself.
It definitely is one of my favourite games.

### 3/5 — Good

*2016-02-17, version 1.0.0*

Story is good, graphic and video are alright, no morphins, same collectable item through the game, HOP and puzzle too easy even in expert mode

### 4/5 — Love it so far

*2015-12-27, version 1.0.0*

I just started playing and love it so far. It's good to see the free trial and I wish your more recent games would still have that. I saw some of your games that I'd like to try, but I refuse to buy it without the "try before you buy" feature. I am in agreement with many others who want you to bring that back. This is why I give BF as a whole 4 stars. It's not fair to consumers to expect them to buy something without giving them the chance to see if they would enjoy it first. Please bring back the free trial.

### 3/5 — Bait and switch

*2015-12-24, version 1.0.0*

12/23/15-Update. Not a bad game, somewhat entertaining storyline, a decent stand alone game. But definitely not a Shiver game and shame on Big Fish for lying to consumers. I've revised my rating to reflect that this is a decent stand alone game. 

7/19/15- This is the last time I get taken by Big Fish's bait and switch. They package completely random games as part as an established series and I keep falling for it. I bought this game because it's being sold a Shiver game and I love the series so I bought the game without even playing the free preview. This is not a Shiver game. This game is nothing like the previous Shiver games. I feel like I've been bamboozled but it's my fault because this is not the first time Big Fish has done this. I should have checked out the game first. Lesson learned. I just started playing, maybe the game will be a decent stand alone game but I'm very disappointed that Big Fish feels the need to trick customers into buying their games by pretending these games are a part of an established series.

### 4/5 — Buggy but smart and beautiful

*2015-10-12, version 1.0.0*

Crashed and froze several times had to start over twice...but best puzzles I have played, clever HOPs, fun storyline, and beautiful graphics...for $6.99 it should be bug free people!!!

### 4/5 — Good game!

*2015-10-09, version 1.0.0*

Nice graphics, fun puzzles, great teleporting map.  My only complaint is that I thought the game was too short, otherwise I really liked it.

### 3/5 — Gut gemacht

*2015-10-01, version 1.0.0*

Ich hatte Spaß & die Aufgaben waren gut zu lösen 😉👍

### 4/5 — I love it!!!

*2015-09-14, version 1.0.0*

It's a great game and brings a challenge  to you.   It should be just a little bit harder than it currently is.

### 2/5 — Please fix bug

*2015-09-09, version 1.0.0*

Nice game but when following the crab it disappears and I can't follow it anymore. Game is stuck after that

### 4/5 — Challenging

*2015-08-17, version 1.0.0*

One on one games tough

### 1/5 — Shiver

*2021-02-04, version 1.0.0*

Ich kann das Spiel leider nicht spielen, weil ich auf dem Dachboden den Schraubenzieher nicht auf die Münze bekomme.
Schade

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-02-25, version 1.0.0*

Hi, can't play, faulty
Please fix it

### 1/5 — Not enough pure hidden object games

*2019-07-31, version 1.0.0*

It's been years since I've played a BF games. I used to love their hidden object games, they were the best. Then they got caught up in the story and not the hidden objects. 

I was hoping this game would be more like the old ones. It's not. It will be many more years before I try another BF game. They just aren't fun and aren't about hidden objects.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-05-02, version 1.0.0*

Useless crashed twice in the firs 3m of play  deleted it

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2018-01-19, version 1.0.0*

Not getting on with this game at all! The instructions for painting a picture are vague and unhelpful therefore I cannot progress with this game. The Big Fish walk through is vague so I'm getting the impression that it's too much trouble to explain things properly. Very sloppy. Shame, I've played and enjoyed lots of Big Fish games but I'm beginning to think twice now before I purchase any more.

### 1/5 — Raté

*2017-12-19, version 1.0.0*

Impossible de jouer la dernière scène. 
Le jeu bug lorsque je mets la torche dans la fontaine 
Frustrée. 
Heureusement que je l'ai payé en promo mais c'est quand même 3€ de fichus

### 1/5 — Requiem

*2015-11-20, version 1.0.0*

It's not that great.You have to go to the Guide
Constantly to go.I do,not like it.

### 1/5 — Requiem pour un nénuphar

*2015-09-30, version 1.0.0*

Autre trouble depuis dernier ios 9.0: 
Jeu chargé francais( enfin) mais aucun accès au guide et de surplus en cliquant dessus : bingo sortie du jeu immédiate , 
Un autre achat non fait ,( longue liste)

### 1/5 — Big Fish Blows

*2015-08-22, version 1.0.0*

Big Fish Blows! They never update their games when a new iOS comes out. They don't give a sh@t about their customers. I bought multiple games from them and 6 months to a year later they are useless and unplayable. They're just corporate hacks on a big money grab with no customer service. Stay clear of their games.

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2015-07-20, version 1.0.0*

I bought the game, it immediately crashed, I reloaded it. Reloaded it and now another glitch . Reloaded it again, and the same glitch -the screwdriver in the coin - is STILL THERE. 
 TOO MANY PROBLEMS Big Fish with so many of your games! Enough!

### 5/5 — Long, fun game!

*2020-07-05, version 1.0.0*

Nice range of puzzle types (arcade, find the difference, free the block, etc.), and they range in difficulty as well. Game is long. Storyline is good, although the main villainess and her background story weren’t fleshed out very well. But that didn’t detract from the game. Hops are list, silhouette, straight interactive (no list), and scrambled list. I like the latter one but this is the only game I’ve seen it in. After you have finished the game you can play the pinball machine and math 3 in the extras menu. You collect black pearls throughout the game to spend redecorating a study-type room. Lots of decorating options, it was fun. In the same room you also have a fish that you name, and feed. Aquarium decorations are also scattered throughout the game, and there’s one Easter egg (actually an Artogon logo.) Fun and interesting scenery. Really enjoyed it!!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2020-03-20, version 1.0.0*

De los mejores juegos a los que he jugado. Los gráficos son espectaculares y los puzzles te hacen pensar un poco haciéndolo muy divertido. La música te envuelve en la escena y  consigues evadirte de la realidad. En estos días de cuarentena son la mejor opción. Me gustaría que en futuro se traduzcan al español.  Por lo demás perfecto. Gracias.

### 5/5 — Shiver

*2019-09-30, version 1.0.0*

Awesome game !

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2019-05-16, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoyed this game.  It was interesting and detailed.  I found some of the games too challenging for me but others would love them.  Other games were simple.

### 5/5 — Mal wieder richtig gut!

*2018-12-31, version 1.0.0*

Aussergewöhnlich gute Länge! Spiel mit sehr vielen Minigames und WBS, immer gut in den Spielverlauf eingebaut. Geschichte selbst nicht neu, aber okay. Schöne Schauplätze mit m. E. guter Grafik, Sammelobjekte. Lief auch einwandfrei.

### 5/5 — Luvin it

*2015-12-13, version 1.0.0*

Wow, what a great game. Luvin it heaps, don't want it to finish, trying to stretch it out. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Beautiful graphics

*2015-12-03, version 1.0.0*

Love this game, fun puzzles, first rate HO's, 
And an excellent bonus game. The map is also well done.

### 5/5 — Great, but a glitch!

*2015-07-25, version 1.0.0*

Loved the game and will look for others in this area of games, but............the game froze me out at the very end of the bonus chapter. I have tried for 2 days to end the siren's "life", but no getting the TNT loaded and exploded. I had a everything needed, but the components just wouldn't move from inventory to hand and make TNT. Tried nonce more today and it went just fine.

### 5/5 — Gamer

*2015-07-20, version 1.0.0*

The best game so far.

### 5/5 — Lily's Requiem

*2015-07-18, version 1.0.0*

One of the best of this genre of game. Super graphics, challenging puzzles and ease of moving from scene to scene. Even the hidden object scenes have that bit more interplay. Very good value for money.
