### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-01-31, version 1.0.0*

The fragmented scenes are AWFUL

### 2/5 — Not sure

*2025-09-08*

Every surface game I download has the same problem.  Where you have interactive places on the screen there is an outline square around every single place that you can tap.  It’s annoying and distracting.

### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar

*2025-01-07, version 1.0.0*

Verpixelt unbrauchbar

### 1/5 — So sad

*2022-11-12*

I was really enjoying this game until I got to chapter 3 and I was finding the signs but I can’t get to the last one.  The hint points to where it is supposed to be but I can’t find it or reach it.  I’ve tried everything….. just finished paying for the app….now I can’t go any further.  So sad…..

### 1/5 — Help!

*2022-11-03*

I Installed and uninstalled this game several times but I can’t seem to fix it- there are boxes around all the people and hidden objects for some reason, and it makes it really hard to play the game

### 3/5 — Broken

*2021-03-06, version 1.0.0*

There is something very wrong with the game, it used to work fine but recently trying to load it up all I get is white blocks around images within the game. 3 stars because it used to work. 0 stars because it’s broken. If you want this since my review DON’T! I expect better from such a large game maker.

### 1/5 — What was THAT????

*2020-10-16*

I did NOT LIKE THE VISUALS! Everything was put together in pieces...like a large photo cut up and reattached with those thumb pins you used in grade school to make cut-outs move....Distracting and seeing with only one eye myself, very poor visual clarity! Did you do this on purpose or is something WRONG with this game. 
I would appreciate hearing an answer, but seeing (!) as most of your reviews are two or more years old...I don ‘t suppose I’ll get one....

### 3/5 — 😎 😷

*2020-09-07, version 1.0.0*

Reasonable enough game, good length of main game and bonus, sometimes I felt it was lacking in some basic information at times. Good map and plenty to do in extras. But I would certainly not pay £6.99 for it, or any other games for that matter. Get it on sale, or don’t bother....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

### 5/5 — Aube

*2020-07-13, version 1.0.0*

Très bien.

### 1/5 — Impossible on iPhone X

*2020-04-18*

Good game ruined by a couple of issues. On iPhone X it’s a fight to pick inventory items without closing the app. Too frustrating to deal with. Then in bonus chapter there is an object that you need to pick in the kiosk, a little soccer ball that goes in center of a loop. It is not there. Nothing moves for you to find it. Hint brings you back to the empty loop. I have to give it one star because I cannot complete the game.
