Or a shadow skeleton couldn’t access me when trying to hide from it, and the game would just kill me off since it couldn’t reach me. The music was beautiful and the graphics were very high quality. Some amount of logic was needed, I wish the game didn’t hint so much to what was needed though. This is a mix of Inside, Tomb Raider, and Journey. My biggest complaint was the controls. If playing on a phone it’s easy to jump off an edge and die when moving forward, as the very slightest deviation upwards causes you to jump. Overall, definitely worth a play! ### 3/5 — Cannot stop Game Center prompts. *2021-10-04, version 3.3.0.18353* This game is beautifully crafted. However I have given up playing it because the intricately designed world is ruined by a persistent prompt to sign into Game Center. I hit cancel over and over and it doesn’t leave the screen. There is a Game Center badge on the lower left corner. If I do sign in, there is a different badge. This is the only game I have this problem with. Please correct this. It has ruined the game for me. It sounds like a small thing, but with such a gorgeous looking experience it’s so frustrating to have it sullied by this. ### 4/5 — Fun, Beautiful, and Immersive *2021-09-23, version 3.3.0.18353* Stela is a great game with creative ideas and beautiful graphics. It translates pretty well to iOS, but it’s nigh-impossible on a phone. Just FYI. The game gives me Ico vibes and I love that game, so that’s no bad thing. The very real fear of getting spotted and devoured by a Shadow is nice to feel in a game. Two things holding it back from five stars: 1) jump controls are wonky. I ended up jumping when I didn’t mean to. A LOT. Or climbing up when I was trying to slide. 2) It would be nice to have even a little context/background from the story before we start. I understand that you can unlock all the details with secrets, but throw me even a little bone when I start. “You feel compelled to answer a call in your soul to head east.” That would at least explain why I’m running in primarily one direction other than “it’s in the script”. LOL Great game overall and definitely worth at least one play through. ### 4/5 — Fastest Developer response ever! *2021-07-21, version 3.3.0.18353* Update to my last feedback, the developer released a new version within two days and now we can play on the Apple TV. 😀 Woot! There are still some “quirks”, but due to the remarkable developer response, we are currently giving 4 stars. We accidentally turned off the Apple TV. When we returned, the sound was off. Opening the game menu, and resuming turns it back on. We’ve also seen it happen by pressing the PS4 button which displays the Apple TV Control center. But it’s quirky. A crash happened when we were in the woods and a shadow killed us. Reopening took us to the last save point and the next time we died at the same point, no crash happened. There is a glide bug where we were standing still and the character glided left. Btw, we are both software testers, but are enjoying the game. 😀 ### 3/5 — Definitely scary! But lacking in gameplay instructions. *2021-03-29, version 3.2.0.18126* So, I enjoyed the game very much. I played it a while ago and finally got back to it, and I’m starting from the beginning. The horror element is very good, the jump scares and just the shape of some of the monsters is horrifying! Even scarier with headphones. But I did have one comment. The controls are decent enough for me, but figuring out what to do at certain times can be super frustrating. As an example, the tree you have to hide in near the very beginning was really hard to figure out what to do with. It was obvious it was for something, but it was after numerous tries (and pure luck the one time) that I survived. I find if you are ever stuck tutorials are very helpful. Overall, pretty good game. ### 4/5 — Great Game for Puzzle Lovers *2021-03-22, version 3.2.0.18126* This game is beautifully made with interesting puzzles and secrets. I love that the puzzles often require focus and a little extra thought yet the gameplay is fluid. When I started this game I hated it because I didn’t understand the concept or my “mission” in the game and the items are very sensitive so you have to touch them just right to interact with them. But once slept on it and gave it another go I was impressed with how this game was put together and the intuitiveness of the puzzles. The only downside to this game is no save feature if you quit the game so you will return to the farmhouse if you logout before completing the game which caused me to play 4 times before I could finish. Highly recommend. ### 3/5 — Issue with save mode *2021-03-16, version 3.2.0.18126* I just want to make it clear that I am giving this three stars Soley because there’s a huge issue where it doesn’t let you continue where you left off. I think that the game itself is great! I had a little trouble in the beginning because I wasn’t sure how to do certain maneuvers but I’m a quick learner. I think the graphics are nice and while I don’t really get the storyline I like how it’s a nice transition from one chapter/ area to the next. I’m very disappointed because I was at the ending of the game where everything was unraveling and I was just starting to understand more about my character but of course when I went to go play again the next day it put me right back at the farm. I really hope that this issue is fixed so that many of us experiencing the same problem can complete the game. ### 4/5 — I wish I could give 4.5 stars *2021-01-30, version 3.2.0.18126* Overall, this game is amazing. Beautiful and haunting graphics and soundtrack. It’s a gorgeous game that can be kind of scary at time, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t jump once or twice, but the adventure and puzzles are challenging enough without being burning, but still simple enough to get without a walkthrough. The only complaint I have would be the controls because the character does run a bit slow and it gets annoying at times, but also jumping and pulling functions are a little bit wonky. But I thank the creators for their time and energy put into this game because you can really tell that it was created with heart and care. It took me about 4, possibly 5 hours to complete, I don’t know if that’s fast or slow, but if you are looking to be captivated by an enticing adventure for a few hours, this game is a good option. Loved it! ### 3/5 — Couldn’t Finish the Game *2020-11-27, version 3.2.0.18126* This game is really fun and aside from the controls being a little wonky sometimes I really enjoyed it. The overall atmosphere and the world you’ve created is immersive and beautiful. However, for some reason my game wouldn’t save past a certain point and would set me back at random. It basically erased a bunch of progress that I’d made but kept the achievements 😅. I didn’t mind the first time but after the second and the third time, I just don’t feel like going through all of it again if I’m just gonna be set back. I’ll probably give it another go in a week or if I get bored, but it’s definitely lost its initial excitement for me. ### 4/5 — Good game, lost progress *2020-10-05, version 3.2.0.18126* Overall, the game and music is great. The puzzles can be challenging at first if you don’t know what to look for, which is why I took a several month break. I came back yesterday, played to almost the end of the game, came back the next morning, and was sent all the way back to the forest. Really disappointing. Still haven’t decided if I want to give it another go. Strangely enough, all my Game Center achievements are saved, just not my progress through the game itself. Devs, maybe add a manual save feature to fix that. I’d recommend playing through to the end of the game in one play through if possible. It might be about 3 or 4 hours on your first play-through, but apparently you can finish it in 90 minutes. **Developer response:** Hi Jwe217, thank you for reaching out and sorry about your experience! We are aware of an issue affecting the save system and are working towards a solution. Thank you for your patience. Thanks again, Support @ SkyBox Labs ### 3/5 — Ready to enjoy but underwhelmed *2020-10-04, version 3.2.0.18126* I’ve started gameplay a few days ago and noticed some major faults. The controls are not only confusing but with bugs as I barely move and I’m suddenly jumping. The puzzles were frustrating because I barely knew I could move backwards onto things as it seemed to be just a platform game. I then had my most frustrating experience where after struggling through several levels I was brought back to the start when I came back to play later that day ! This game has a lot of potential but it still needs work the story was confusing and the music was distracting I had to turn it down. ### 4/5 — Beautiful Gameplay *2020-07-21, version 3.1.0.18123* I love games like this where my mind is challenged! This game will put you in a whirlwind of emotions and will cause a bit of rage quits lol but I don’t regret downloading! A bit similar to Limbo & Inside- which were the mechanics that drew me to the game! I loved the unique monsters and the ways y’all have made me use my small mind lol. I did have difficulties with reaction times and also the jumping... I tended to find myself hopping around a lot and certainly in sneaky situations which had me die a ton, but I’m stubborn so I pushed on, I also thought that for slow people like me a lot of things weren’t noticeable until the last couple moments before the threats smashed/engulfed me. Other than that the games is great, an exceptional ending and terrific gameplay. I hope there is a pt2 or an update otherwise I love your game and I hope you all make more! ### 3/5 — Almost There *2020-03-19, version 3.0.0.18079* Listen, as a fan of Inside and other such games, I was hyped that this was being released on Apple Arcade, however, from the get-go, the controls were confusing and often frustrating. I know you’ve received many comments about the controls but, seriously, the puzzles were easy to solve but almost impossible to execute due to the avatar not letting go or running to far. Also, the story wasn’t cohesive, and it was hard to connect things. The scenery was beautiful and the creatures were intricate and very-well thought out, but the story did not make sense. Maybe a prologue scene and an epilogue scene could be helpful, or even take a page out of a lot of games like this and include explorer notes that the player can find to pierce the story together. It is a beautiful game and I can tell a lot of work has gone into it, but also it needs some tweaking. Good job and good luck! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst touch controls I’ve ever seen *2021-02-13, version 3.2.0.18126* Were this NOT a mobile game, this would only reduce my overall rating by a single star. But because it IS a mobile game, it’s going to reduce it by four. I’m not buying a controller to play on my phone. At that point, I’ll just buy a console, to play better games, on a bigger screen. But these touch controls ... atrociously bad. This game would be far better off with the clunky looking “d-pad” style for movement (just a left & right arrow, maybe?) and a universal button on the right; tap to jump, hold to grab. I find myself CONSTANTLY trying to repeat a gesture until it registers correctly, and by that point, I’ve been swarmed by beetles for the 27th time. Which, by the way, coupled with the staccato violin track, feels all too similar to “A Plague Tale,” one of the best indie PS4 titles of the last decade. Not original. Not well-crafted. Actually rather pretty artwork at times, but at this resolution, it can’t even be enjoyed. What a shame. ### 2/5 — Controls are unbearable *2022-11-13, version 3.3.12136* I read many promising reviews and was excited to play Stela. I spent 10 minutes trying to move the wagon and close the gate at the beginning. Sometimes it worked but most times it didn’t. It was really frustrating trying to learn controls while rat things swarm you to death every 10 seconds. Idk what they were tbh cause the colors are so dull you can’t see anything. I really wanted to experience the music and details others talked about but you lost me in the first 2 minutes. For anyone looking for a similar game with far superior controls, beautiful color and details, and incredible music, I highly recommend GRIS+, also on Apple Arcade. ### 2/5 — Absolutely beautiful… but almost unplayable *2022-06-16, version 3.3.12136* I got caught on the chain at depths and she just won’t grab onto it, with multiple other times where I got caught in bugs bc she couldn’t interact with the proper things. All-in-all the interact feature just really doesn’t work. If there was an interact button and a joystick with a jump button (all on screen), the controls would be much more understandable. I tried the double tap and it says that she’ll jump towards the tap but she doesn’t do that either. Sometimes she will jump vertically instead of moving, and that got me killed in the forest. I am literally stuck and unable to continue in the game but it has genuinely good ideas, art, music, and atmosphere. ### 2/5 — This should be a great game, but it isn’t *2022-03-14, version 3.3.12136* The artwork is beautiful. The scenes are breathtaking. Sadly, Stela suffers from very uneven gameplay. A lot of reviews compare Stela to Playdead’s Inside and they are right to do so. Inside is beautifully balanced in terms of story, puzzles, and moments of danger. Stela has mastered none of that. You just die a lot. Some sequences last way too long and are repetitive. As always, the artists deliver a gorgeous visual experience. The gameplay is woefully under considered. Stela seems completely blind to gameplay experience. Being constantly killed is not fun. I get that you want me to figure out the puzzle, but I don’t have any understanding of your universe! About three quarters of the game through, you begin to understand that everything is a trap (whatever) then at the end is a Rubik’s Cube puzzle? The whole experience is delight mixed with aggravation. It’s like having dinner with a really attractive person who’s annoying the whole time. ### 2/5 — Does not save progress *2021-06-19, version 3.2.0.18126* I downloaded this game a few days ago as I am a big fan of this style of game play, but I, and several other users since October according to the reviews, are getting super far into the game, only to have it go back incredibly far in progress upon exiting the app and returning to it later. I had gotten to the frozen desolate town, only to open the app in an hour and be reset all the way back to the rolling spike log checkpoint. Extremely disappointing and overshadows all the positive elements of this game, it’s a bummer to know that all that progress is for nothing and i’m afraid to even put the game down for fear it’ll kick me so far back again. It is truly an amazing game, I just want to be able to play it without having to redo endless puzzles. I hope this can be fixed sometime soon. ### 2/5 — Love it, but hate it.. *2020-03-13, version 2.0.0.17236* I love these horror runner games! I loves Inside and this is great to play since I’ve beat other games that are similar BUT this game is too difficult to control. I’m in the very beginning of it and where you have to knock down (I think a hay bale?) she just WOULD NOT grab onto the object to knock it down so I gave up. Months later, I returned to it and I was able to do it first try so whatever, moving on, I get to where you’re sliding down those two big hills and enter inside a building where you jump on top of hay and close the sliding door, WELL, it is not letting me jump off or walk off or anything of that matter to close this door, she just walks off the hay, into these bugs and I’ve tried NUMEROUS times over and over and over again!! I’ve tried just standing on the hay and jumping and that works but it will not allow me to jump off of the hay bale to grab onto the handle of the door and close it so I’m stuck again ALREADY. I don’t know if it’s my phone or what but I really like this game and would love to move on from this spot ): **Developer response:** Hi KSwizzelD, thanks for the feedback and sorry about your experience! We try to refine and improve touch controls with each new update. In a recent update we made it so a diagonal swipe would perform a forward jump - this move may help you in that particular area. If not though, we'd love to help you out. If you email us at support@skyboxlabs.com, we'd be more than happy to help you directly. ### 2/5 — Awful Controls *2020-03-12, version 2.0.0.17236* I decided to use my free trial for Apple Arcade, and I stumbled upon this game. I had high hopes on this game being good, especially after playing Sneaky Sasquatch. It looked really exciting just by seeing the designs and colors. However, I was quickly disappointed. I did not even want to finish playing this game because the controls were so frustrating, especially the “grabbing” onto something or climbing into something. I kept jumping instead. I already had so many difficulties with the controls in the first few sections of this game. The majority of my experience was trying to figure out how to direct the character instead of actually enjoying the adventure of this game. ### 2/5 — Puzzles shouldn’t be about controls *2020-01-06, version 2.0.0.17236* There were one too many (and one is too many) times where a situation was difficult because it was unclear how the controls were supposed to work, instead of being unclear how to solve the puzzle. In both the situation where you had to hide inside the vertical tree and the situation where you had to turn the wheel it was clear what you were supposed to do but unclear how to do it; it seemed clear that you were supposed to jump or climb up to hide in the tree, but after trying and dying several times I concluded that the tree couldn’t be climbed, so I tried a bunch of other things for a long time, only to eventually — and I’m still not sure how — have the climbing work after all; and it’s obvious that we’re supposed to turn the wheel until we can run inside the gate, but the little guy won’t let go of the wheel when I try to run for the gate, instead he keeps turning and turning the thing until it’s too late and he gets hit by the cinders, and after trying it too many times, that’s where I’m giving up. I love a good puzzle and I hate struggling with controls. **Developer response:** That's really good feedback for our team! We will look at addressing those areas! Thanks so much. If you're stuck in a particular area, we'd love to help you out directly. You can email us at support@skyboxlabs.com. ### 2/5 — Didn’t like it! *2019-10-15, version 1.0* Y’all, I didn’t want to go to the base of Inside comparisons but after playing it’s pretty noticeable. But away from that, it’s just...it doesn’t stick the landing, barely makes the jump (like me, repeatedly, playing this game, because controlling this game is way more trouble than it’s worth). I wanted to find interesting things to connect the dots with the...story? But it was far too incoherent. And I tried my BEST to make connections, but it just doesn’t make sense y’all. Visuals were nice...sometimes, but other times it was unbelievably bad looking (too washed out too dark too...empty). Music was good at times but sometimes it felt a bit repetitive. Ending sequence felt like it was meant to be this big epic moment but I legitimately just couldn’t tell what was happening (and also again, controls, I fell to my death over and over from what should have been a perfect landing only to stumble off the edge for no reason). But yeah. All in all, not really that great of a game. Sorry y’all! Glad you managed to get that Apple Cash TM though, hope it helps make something a bit more polished next time. ### 3/5 — Looks Nice, Annoying Controls *2021-10-25, version 3.3.0.18353* The story was interesting untill the sci-fi section, at that point it became a bit repetitive. Overall the game looks nice, but the controls are really infuriating and the puzzles are also quite weird. Now don’t get me wrong I’m up for a good challenge but a lot of the puzzles have kind of weird solutions, not to mention that the quick-time events are just die and repeat until you make it, like it’s almost impossible to beat the level on the first try without deaths. Overall I give it a 3/5 because I liked the first forest gameplay. The music, scenery, story building, we’re all on point, but as the game continued it kinda lost me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Criminally Underrated *2022-10-03, version 3.3.12136* This game is unfairly and simply criminally underrated. If you love Inside and Limbo, you’ll love this one. The controls are no way as bad as some reviews have made it out to be. I kept waiting to experience the issues others did and never had a single issue. Any “control” issue I had was just simply the result of playing a game on the phone with touch screen. This is expansive and engaging and I loved it. I’m a big fan of these sort of games and the puzzles. My one fault is they were maybe too easy and a little simplistic but the soundtrack was amazing and graphics were too notch. Didn’t want the game to end. Much like Inside and Limbo though, it’ll take you a bit to figure out what’s going on. But that’s the joy in playing these games IMO. Give this one a chance. ### 5/5 — Wonderfully Made Game *2022-01-04, version 3.3.0.18353* When I first saw the game I was very excited cause I don’t really play games or games that are set up like Stela with the point of view. After getting all the way through the game I started to really like the point of view. I like the animation that the game includes especially when it come to the winter themed section. I will say that the game came with about 7 or 8 really confusing parts to me but after a while I figured it out. I also like that the game keeps you on edge about what obstacle you might face next. In all honesty I give this game a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend anyone that comes across this review and has not played the game yet play it. :) **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this review! We're really happy that you enjoyed Stela! ### 5/5 — Beautiful Enjoyable Experience *2021-12-06, version 3.3.0.18353* I rarely play games on mobile for the sheer fact that games tend to either be trying to hard to be a console experience, or it is laughably a mobile game that holds my interest for 10 minutes. There are rare instances of games being able to find a spot of perfect blend of the two while finding a way to hold my interest. I played this from start to finish in one day because it was beautiful, felt smooth an fun when used with a controller (I have heard people did not like the touch controls so definitely recommend a controller for this), and was able to keep me playing after finishing a level. Would definitely recommend. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! The team really appreciates it! ### 5/5 — Loved it!!! *2021-11-08, version 3.3.0.18353* Just beat the game this morning! Great game - I loved it so much!!! I’m not sure why it has such a low star review. I didn’t encounter a single bug. It never froze or glitched. It’s simple gameplay yet challenging. The controls are a little sensitive so if you try to take a step forward, you might leap forward - which made for some pretty funny deaths in the game! 😆 You quickly get the hang of it, though. Download the game, you won’t regret it!! ### 5/5 — Stella *2021-04-15, version 3.2.0.18126* Wow! This game was One of the first couple games I’ve ever downloaded from Apple Arcade! Let me tell you some of the levels had me on the edge of my seat and had my adrenaline pumping throughout my body! This will be my 2rd time playing this game , I’ve completed it once already and honestly was actually disappointed that it was truly over! This by far is the best mobile app game I’ve played that will actually have you anxious about picking up where you left off! Love this one! Highly Recommend this game! ### 5/5 — Beautiful Game *2020-12-06, version 3.2.0.18126* This is the first game I have reviewed, and I must say, this game is phenomenal. The controls feel a bit wonky at first and take some getting used to for touch screen. However, for me, that did not detract from the game at all. I found this game to be marvelous. The art was fantastic, and the puzzles were complex. I enjoy the puzzles that aren’t super obvious but can still be figured out within a reasonable amount of time. They were tricky but not impossible. I know some people did not like the game design of some paths not being obvious, but I think it was a great part of the game. It prevented the game from being a boring, linear path. It added depth and complexity. None of my deaths or struggles felt cheap. It was all fair. All in all, I think this game was one of the best games I have ever played. I cannot wait to play it again. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for this stellar review! It was awesome to read, and our team really appreciates it! We're so glad that you enjoyed Stela. ### 5/5 — Amazing visuals and interesting concept! *2020-05-23, version 3.1.0.18123* I really loved playing this game! Every chapter had very cool visual concepts and kept me entertained from start to finish. I think the thing I loved most about this game is that I felt like I was in the world for real. The puzzles were fairly challenging in some parts which is pretty nice, but even in the simpler puzzles I think the horror theme and art kept my heart racing nonetheless! Also, I am not sure how to phrase this, but after playing the game I felt “otherwordly” (not sure how else to explain). It made me feel refreshed and different, but in a good way. Anyways, just wanted to say that the art and music was beautiful, the story is intriguing, and I love this game a lot. I will definitely play it again:)<3 ### 5/5 — If you try any Apple Arcade game, go with this one *2020-04-25, version 3.1.0.18123* This game is action, thriller, puzzle, and survival all rolled into one. You are the one on the adventure with nothing but your intuition and the need to know your purpose to guide you. I had no idea who the character was or what the purpose of this game was until I reached the very end. Then it all made sense and I understood why I had to cross through all the obstacles and survive. The art, the creatures, the music, and the background all came together to form a harrowing experience. I couldn’t even listen to music or a podcast because the game enveloped into its world and I could focus on nothing else (I actually need to go back an listen to a few of the episodes of my podcast that I missed because of this). If you want to try any game in the apple arcade, I recommend this one more than any other I’ve tried. It can be scary for younger children (and adults too) so please keep that in mind if you are someone that doesn’t appreciate that sort if thing. (I’m a bit of a scaredy-cat myself but I was fine with it for the most part, just a word of caution.) ### 5/5 — Incredible Experience *2020-04-09, version 3.1.0.18123* I’ve read the reviews, and it seems a lot of people are calling this an Inside knockoff. I legitimately believe those people only played the first chapter and quit. Don’t get me wrong, the first chapter is THRILLING! But...it unfortunately does feel like you’re playing Inside. Even the control scheme is the same. Now....if you stick past the first chapter, you’re in for a completely unique experience that will blow your mind! The game keeps the intensity, but switches to a sort of Indiana Jones type theme that it absolutely amazing. You’re constantly avoiding traps and navigating structures as they literally crumble around you. Every move must be perfectly timed, or you will die. And you will die A LOT. Graphically, the game is stunning. Amazing lighting and the animations are silky smooth. The game also boasts an orchestral soundtrack that sounds like it belongs in a movie. Don’t write premature reviews. Give games the chances they deserved. Respect someone else’s livelihood. And for goodness sake, play Stella! :-) ### 5/5 — One of The Most Beautiful, Unique, Scary, and Adventurous Games There Is *2020-03-24, version 3.0.0.18079* Starting with the artwork, it’s gorgeous and flawless. Every little thing has detail and it’s so magical. The ,”northern lights”, towards the end with the translucent boxes amaze me because it truly feels like I’m looking at the actual northern lights. Then comes the scary part. In the beginning everything made me jump. I was so scared every time I was killed by the monsters. It was very thrilling and it always made my heart jump. The different adventures that you have to go through are super fun, but it’s slightly repetitive because I saw the same two monsters, but then came the robots and lasers, which was great. The music is breathe taking. The music is probably one of my favorite parts about the game. I would love to listen to the music even though it ment I would have to leave the game on, but of course I don’t because it waists battery. Overall, this game is just one of the best I have played. I’ve been waiting for a game like this since the last one I played which was almost a year ago. Every time I tried to download a game that seemed like it would be this adventurous, it was a turn down. This game is stunning. 10/5 for me **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words and this thoughtful review! We really appreciate it, and we're glad that you enjoyed Stela! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
