### 2/5 — Повесточка

*2026-07-17*

Сильная женщина-негритянка

### 4/5 — Nettes unterhaltsames Spiel

*2026-07-03*

Das Spiel macht Spaß, wenn man auf klassische Adventures und kleine Logik-Rätsel steht. Das Setting auf dem fremden Planeten fand ich spannend. Dass man ein Kapitel probespielen kann bevor man kauft finde ich großartig - gerne immer so. Ob 7,- Euro gerechtfertigt sind für ein Handy-Game, das man in ca. 3 bis max. 4 Stunden durchspielt und das keinen wirklichen Nochmal-Spielen-Wert bietet -- muss jeder selber wissen; die Entwickler sollen natürlich was verdienen, aber der Preis ist m.W. vergleichsweise hoch. Ansonsten alles top.

### 5/5 — I played for 5months

*2026-03-25*

It’s a really good game

### 3/5 — nice retro game with bugs

*2026-03-15*

Fun to play this retro game. But there are two problems so far. 
First, the inventory - if I have too much items, they just disappear. Looked at a video, there the inventory has a scroll bar. Not in my game, unfortunatrly, so I have to start over and have to be careful when I pick up items. This also leads to additional uneccessary travels back and forth.
Second, the tree puzzle. Because I had to do some steps again after problem 1, suddebly the first puzzle to open the trap door of the tree house doesn‘t work anymore. The 2nd to open the cabinet always works but closes the panel so I can‘t get up. Sometimes it opens again, but normally it doesn‘t so I can‘t get up and can‘t continue.

So, I am stuck and have to redo things over and over if I forget about the inventory. No fun, sadly.

### 5/5 — Beautiful Game, Worth it

*2026-02-10, version 1.3.1*

For those of you who grew up loving the Nancy drew games will love this. This game is the classic puzzle solving point and click and I LOVE IT. Not only is it super creative but the main character is a woman of color which makes me super happy cause that is pretty rare. I am desperately looking for another game like this just because I enjoyed it so much!! Totally worth $5.99.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-29, version 1.3.1*

Need more ASAP!

### 5/5 — All The Essences of a Retro Adventure

*2025-12-29, version 1.3.1*

This pretty much hit all the spots of a retro point and click adventure game. I enjoyed it and the story was good. Now I want a sequel or a prequel.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, captivating!

*2025-12-13, version 1.3.1*

Love the retro feel. Sound effect and music is nicely done. Puzzles are diverse and not boring. Not too difficult that it gets frustrating. The twist and the character swap is great! Wish there’s more! Maybe a whole other game of playing as the Alien (the local)? Sequel? Prequel!!

### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️

*2025-12-05*

Merci pour ce jeu ! Un vrai travail de design, récits, voix… il vaut son prix. J’ai adoré et adorerais une suite à cette belle histoire !

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2025-11-26, version 1.3.1*

Every time you get to act four, what happens is I try to get back to the lower level seven, but it doesn’t work.
I even tried resetting the game and it still didn’t work. Hopefully, you could fix this bug.

### 5/5 — 재밋었다

*2025-11-26*

분위기도 좋고 힐링겜 간만에 결제해봄

### 5/5 — Best game!!

*2025-11-17, version 1.3.1*

Best game 10/10

### 5/5 — A quand la suite !

*2025-11-16*

Super jeu même si je le trouve assez court vu le prix. En tout cas j’espère qu’on aura une suite prochainement !

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

*2025-11-14*

Joguei o demo e achei muito interessante, não só os gráficos, mas a história te faz querer completa-lo! Se um dia estiver mais barato, comprarei com certeza!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-10-30, version 1.3.1*

One of the best games ever played. Too short. Please hurry up with the sequel.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-10-29, version 1.3.1*

Really great game, the story the gameplay, everything! Hoping fir part2!

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2025-10-28*

No game I have played came as close to the 90s 2d adventures as this one. It's very nice, not too hard, not too complicated, very easy to navigate and through. The sound effects are balm to the ears. It's not retro, it's genuinely 90s. I love it.

### 5/5 — Thoughtful and fascinating

*2025-10-20, version 1.3.1*

I loved this game so much. This is a high quality game from Snapbreak as usual. Not only are the puzzles interesting, but the depth of the world building captures the imagination. The thoughtful and melancholy mood at times reminded me of the Faraway series, although I appreciate that this is something completely new. 
My only complaint is that I wish there was a hint option. There were a few times when I got stuck because I missed one detail.

### 5/5 — Крутая игра!

*2025-10-20*

Очень похоже на The Dig - был такой квест от Lucas Arts в 90-х, стилистика, сюжет очень напоминают. Спасибо большое за путешествие в прошлое!

### 1/5 — Too easy

*2026-03-29, version 1.3.1*

As someone in their twenties, it could just be me, but if the game becomes entertainingly difficult, I’ll come back and change my review. Beyond that, I wish the creators had put more time into the dialogue (or used text) for the no-outcome actions. Get used to hearing “I have no reason to scan/do that”.

### 1/5 — Try before you buy rubbish

*2025-08-03, version 1.2.5*

Yet another click bait app that isn’t even a full game. So sick and tired of ‘buy full game’ apps. Also, I’m completely unable to relate to the character, a customisable appearance would be a massive improvement.

### 1/5 — Dreary colors

*2025-05-05, version 1.2.5*

It’s just depressing looking couldn’t even get past the first scene. So dark and grey

### 1/5 — Français

*2025-04-10*

Chargé mais pas joué. En attente du français. Il n’y a pas que l’anglais au monde !

### 1/5 — Ridículo

*2025-03-20, version 1.2.5*

Cuando te lo descargas no dice nada de compras. Luego lo abres y directamente lo pone. “Probar juego” “comprar juego”. Pero eso si la descarga ya está hecha. Empresa poco transparente para monetizar mi descarga. A la basura ha ido . Ni prueba ni leches . PONED BIEN CLARO QUE ES DE PAGO ANTES DE NADA. Apple debería sancionar a las empresas poco transparentes en este sentido. Desde luego NO LO RECOMIENDO.

### 1/5 — Lack of instructions

*2025-03-15, version 1.2.5*

Frustrating

### 1/5 — Game doesn't work

*2024-12-21, version 1.2.5*

Tried the free game and couldn't get past where you're supposed to insert the geometrical block. Deleted.

### 1/5 — It’s a nice game.. but it’s not free

*2024-12-17, version 1.2.5*

This is only a trial

### 1/5 — demo

*2024-12-14, version 1.2.5*

doesn’t say it’s a demo

### 1/5 — Refund

*2024-12-04, version 1.2.5*

Yeah, this was not at all good graphics or an easy game to even play because I can barely even see anything. It was so boring and distorted worst $5.99 I’ve ever spent and I would like a refund.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-23, version 1.3.1*

I love doing puzzle games like these, from the story line to the mechanics every thing was perfect. This is one of the few games where the ending cut scenes got me on edge wondering how she’ll get back home. Really hope that there will be a second game💯

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2026-07-27*

Sucht seines gleichen

### 5/5 — Игра 10/10

*2026-07-18*

Когда скачивал данную игру, думал будет не интересно, но оказалось что игра просто огонь 🔥
Сюжет очень классный и одновременно трогательный (в акте 5 был достаточно хороший сюжетный поворот)!
Хотелось бы чтобы было продолжение игры!!! 😄
Я надеюсь автор (разработчик) игры, сделает новую главную в своей игре. У данной игры обязанно быть продолжении! 
P.S.: отзыв независимый и не проплаченный.

### 5/5 — Проблема

*2026-07-18, version 1.3.1*

Здравствуйте, произошла ошибка из-за которой не могу играть дальше. В 3 акте в лесу, нет кода, чтобы открыть люк на дерево. Там только код, который открывает шкаф на дереве с золотом. Сделайте что- то с этим. В целом игра оченнь нравится

### 5/5 — Отличная

*2026-07-18*

Будет ли еще подобие этого шедевра, очень бы хотелось

### 5/5 — Все очень красиво, добавьте оплату через другие сервисы. I want to buy it, but I can’t

*2026-07-16*

Ламповая атмосфера, и затягивает и залипалово прям) прошел демо кусок, оплатить 500 р не могу через Apple

### 5/5 — New shadow?

*2026-07-05, version 1.3.1*

This game is amazing but I must admit I had some difficulty with some puzzles like the last one in the 5th act where I had to watch a YouTube tutorial since it made no sense. I understand the need for some difficulty towards the end of the game but the book was kind of useless in the puzzle I mentioned, and for opening a door by using a panel which had some switches in the fifth act. Other than that it’s amazing in many ways that I can’t describe. It’s also very obvious that the ending was a cliffhanger but I really want to know if A New Shadow is a sequel to this game thats coming out. If it’s not, or I mixed it up with something else I’m terribly sorry but I’m still curious, as I would love to see a sequel to this game . Pls respond as to why u didn’t give a hint to solve the last two puzzles that a mentioned.

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzle game

*2026-07-04, version 1.3.1*

Absolutely great time playing this game, the puzzles and the hints in the diary/book were challenging enough to stimulate me into getting on track and the artistry was excellent for a retro style game, if anything the movement controls had a few hiccups but the story, the puzzles, and the character were everything I like in a puzzle game of this sort, thank you for making it, look forward to the sequel.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, intelligent game

*2026-06-06, version 1.3.1*

The script, design, and world building were so thoughtfully done. And the puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Excellent!

### 5/5 — Muito bom, recomendo demais

*2026-04-10*

O jogo é incrível. Já joguei duas vezes. Espero que venha a continuação logo. 😁
