I had to go to YouTube to solve some. I quit after level 4. ### 4/5 — opinion *2026-01-08, version 8.48.0* Maybe this is rude, but… a question for the developers: what were you on when you designed these puzzles? I honestly don’t understand how someone is supposed to come up with solutions like this. Even logically, it’s extremely difficult. And without any hints, it’s even worse. The idea itself is really cool — I genuinely love games like this. The atmosphere and the level of detail are 10/10. But I guess games like this just aren’t for people like me. Even though I don’t consider myself stupid. ### 4/5 — Great but I hated the first level *2025-12-13, version 8.48.0* Very good game. Keeps the mind active and puzzles are challenging but not extremely frustrating. One problem I had tho was the first level I did not like it and was a bit frustrated as it had a time limit and I had to look up a walkthrough to complete the level to make sure I did it in the time limit also multiple times during the game adverts popped up and I got a bit frustrated taking the time limit will be finished by the time the adverts disappeared ### 3/5 — Muito anúncio *2025-09-20* Muito anúncio ### 5/5 — Ótimo p/ Raciocínio *2025-09-20* O jogo é muito bom, parece bem difícil porém quando entendemos a lógica dos desafios tomamos conta de que é bem simples. ### 5/5 — melhor jogo de scape q ja joguei *2025-09-17* tudo muito bem feito. até o lugar das propagandas é uma boa escolha. pq ate fico feliz de ver a propaganda pq quer dizer q eu consegui resolver o enigma ### 4/5 — When ?! *2025-09-03, version 8.48.0* When are you going to make a new game ?! I miss playing your games so please don’t take too long ### 3/5 — Issue with Crows Nest level *2025-09-03, version 8.48.0* On iPad, where game is in landscape mode, the keypad for the cell phone in the office is being displayed in portrait mode in such a way that the enter key and navigation keys cannot be accessed because they are under the inventory sidebar. Essentially they game cannot progress past that point ### 5/5 — I had so much fun *2025-08-17, version 8.48.0* So I just beat the game and I had a lot of fun but when you gonna add more levels? ### 5/5 — Great twists *2025-06-28, version 8.48.0* Cool game! My brain is working overtime😊 ### 5/5 — Room Escape *2025-06-23, version 8.48.0* I love this game so much 🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Literalmente um quebra cabeça , mas é bom 😌 *2025-06-22* Top ### 5/5 — Game *2025-06-05, version 8.48.0* Awesome ### 2/5 — Glitch? *2025-04-23, version 8.48.0* Update: Very frustrating ads pop up after I solve a puzzle, but then I can’t seem to get back to finish the game. How do I close the ad and get back to the point in the game I was at? And it doesn’t happen until I’m 3/4 of the way thru the level. I feel like I’ve just wasted a bunch of time. Unfortunately one puzzle in Afterlight (Level 5) didn’t “unlock” when I solved it. It was the puzzle with 4 knobs and a clue with voltage amounts. I figured the correct settings, but nothing happened. I tried closing and restarting the game, but nothing worked. I finally found a video walkthrough to double check if my solution was correct, and I was right. The video also showed a switch that should be unlocked, and it was not. Unfortunately, I cannot proceed because of the glitch. P.S. - I even tried restarting the level, but the same result. ### 4/5 — Glitch? *2025-04-14, version 8.48.0* Unfortunately one puzzle in Afterlight (Level 5) didn’t “unlock” when I solved it.

Desinstalei o jogo, tem algumas coisas que não tem nenhuma lógica, e não tem nada no jogo para dar uma dica, principalmente naquela fase que tem por aqueles números naquele painel 111 222 111 222 111 21 1 e assim sucessivamente ### 1/5 — Dont bother *2025-04-02, version 8.48.0* Ads constantly pop up just makes it not fun at all there are other room escape games that dont have ads that just pop up in the middle of the game. ### 1/5 — Bug *2025-03-06, version 8.48.0* Cannot solve phone puzzle in crows nest due to inventory blocking “ok” button when playing on iPad ### 1/5 — So frustrating that glitches make it impossible *2025-01-31, version 8.48.0* I’m doing everything right - but im stuck at a level because of a glitch. I’m right at the end of after light and I can’t turn on this bloody red light. I’ve added the bulb and tapped everywhere on the screen. Is this a ploy to get people to pay to unlock all levels? Sure seems like our. ### 1/5 — Glitch in chapter 1, level 3 *2024-12-17, version 8.48.0* It’s a good game. Would be better if you could get past chapter 1, level 3. The infrared machine doesn’t work. Can’t move forward in the game. ### 1/5 — Не работает на 15 Pro *2024-10-31* При запуске приложения оно начинает виснуть и откликается только через пару минут. Далее в главном меню кнопки не работают, играет фоновая музыка и более ничего не происходит, получилось только спустя 5 минут поменять язык. Дальше все по новой.

Provide information about your device model, software version and version of the game which you can find on the main menu in the upper right corner. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Save Progress *2024-08-23, version 8.48.0* I wish I could write a positive review because the game play and puzzles are fun. But when I exit a session and come back later, progress is not saved, forcing me to replay the most current level from its beginning. This is more than annoying. ### 1/5 — Не ожидал такого *2024-07-25* Игра классная но на главе прозрение после прохождения в начале где в щитке надо повернуть все горизонтально получил листок а тумблер вверх не переключается как только не нажимал потратил 3,5 часа времени выходил закрывал заново заходил все равно не работает **Developer response:** Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience.

There is more to it than just tapping stuff, but the puzzles to solve aren’t so tedious that you get tired. Note that a couple of rooms connect to others without an arrow. Tap on the picture borders to find hidden rooms. ### 5/5 — Hard but enjoyable *2026-02-03, version 8.48.0* This is one of the best games that I’ve ever played Please make it available on steam <3 ### 5/5 — Details *2025-12-30, version 8.48.0* Very good detail and it’s a spectacular view of the gameplay but if they can improve their quality it would be my favorite of a few years ### 5/5 — Love yall *2025-12-19, version 8.48.0* The best game ever ### 5/5 — Maravilhosooooo😉 *2025-12-07* Não trava Sou inteligente 🤗 ### 5/5 — Gostei *2025-11-22* muito Bom ### 5/5 — Jogo *2025-11-02* Muito legal, mas meio doido no primeiro nivel, sou meio burra mas tem coisas muito óbvias --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
