### 1/5 — VERY UPSET

*2022-01-21*

This looked a great game, right up my street.
I have watched all the films on panic rooms & thought great.
Unfortunately the first room after solving the puzzle would not give me the key to get out.....I'm still their lol

**Developer response:** Hi there, have you walked close to the key? There should be a circle with a + symbol appear, then you can click the key and add it to your inventory. Please email me directly if you need more help :)

### 1/5 — Game keeps saving wrong

*2022-01-19*

Twice now the game has saved with the character outside the game room and have to start the game again .

**Developer response:** Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear the troubles you are having. If you could email me a few details of the level you are having issues with then I can take a look. Thanks :)

### 1/5 — Bug

*2022-01-08*

Unable to pick up the first key

**Developer response:** Hi there, make sure you are close enough to the key, there will be a circle with a + pop up, then you can pick up the key. You can email me directly with more information if you are still having trouble then I can take a closer look. Thanks :)

### 2/5 — Too many “slider” puzzles

*2024-09-18*

Overpriced. Either the puzzles are too obvious or too obscure. And too many annoying “tile-slide” puzzles.

### 2/5 — Controls don’t work

*2022-01-15*

Shame looks like a lot of thought gone into the game but can’t select anything. Control system needs some work.

**Developer response:** Hi there, make sure you press and hold the directional buttons to move closer to items of interest then tap the icons that appear to interact. You can email me directly with more information if you are still having trouble then I can take a closer look. Thanks :)

### 3/5 — A little over priced for quality

*2024-11-10*

I feel like this game was not the best quality and not really worth the $6.99 price. Graphics are kinda rough and puzzles very strange.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2021-12-13*

Pluses for 3D exploration and atmosphere but the puzzles were pretty bad. Tons of repeats. Oh… another lever puzzle? Then some solutions were just so so random. VERY linear progression without much problem-solving needed when it comes to how/when/where to use which items.

**Developer response:** Really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere of my game, if you have any ideas for new puzzles or would like to send some ideas my way please reach out via email :)

### 3/5 — Enjoyable but …

*2021-12-10*

… had to stop playing after 20 minutes as the game controls induced dizziness and nausea. 😵‍💫 Aside that, was enjoying the puzzles.

**Developer response:** Really glad you are enjoying the puzzles. Sorry about the dizziness, maybe move the camera a little more slowly or take regular breaks from the game. If you would like to send me more feedback then please reach out to me via email :)

### 4/5 — Nauseating interface!

*2024-12-28*

I’ve been enjoying playing the games in order, but I really struggled with the panning around in this one, The game itself is longer than previous ones, and features more puzzle variety than a heavy reliance on number codes, but I honestly don’t see why it couldn’t have been point n click. Or at least slower in panning so you don’t get giddy!

### 5/5 — Nice puzzle

*2022-05-30*

I enjoyed this game and found it to be very relaxing. The clues are all there to be found with a bit of logic and thought.

### 5/5 — The best

*2022-04-14*

The best of the series, and I loooove the other games too!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the five stars! 👍

### 5/5 — Navigation change  works so well

*2021-12-21*

Thank you, so glad to have the chance to keep playing your creative games

**Developer response:** Please give the updated 1.0.3 a try, I have replaced the tricky to use joystick with buttons to make it much easier to move around.
