### 5/5 — More escape games please

*2019-11-11, version 1.0*

I like your creepy style

### 2/5 — Slow and clunky

*2019-10-11*

Sorry folks, but this game is way behind most decent games in this genre. Movement is limited to left or right and the graphics are pretty poor. I could see it being a quite an interesting game if it was only better executed.

### 5/5 — What a great game

*2019-07-07*

Was looking for ages for a game like this, nice puzzles, please can you make a longer version or similar types of games like this, if you like Cabin escape or forever lost, then you’ll love this

### 1/5 — Poor graphics and bad controls

*2019-06-22*

The game play isn’t very good and the controls are so bad it made me motion sick to play this game. I didn’t finish.

### 5/5 — Absolutely utterly fantastic!

*2019-05-01*

Logical puzzles that are not impossible to work out make this game a real treat, so many games these days are so random and nonsensical that you delete after a few minutes, this game on the other hand is an absolute joy, I like the setting too and have only had to check a hint once when I mistook a mirror for a painting, not having to trail through walkthroughs makes the rhythm of this game lovely to complete. A huge thumbs up 👍

Edit: just completed this and loved every minute infact this should be a paid for game, I’d be happy to part with a couple of pounds for such enjoyment.

### 3/5 — Challenging

*2019-03-29, version 1.0*

Constantly running from room to room looking for answers.The clues could have been better.Decent graphics.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-02-20*

Great game, a little different to other room escape games. Enjoyed the game very much.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-02-18*

Loved this game, made your brain ache. Well done, more please

### 4/5 — Lots of Traipsing

*2019-02-17, version 1.0*

Dark, creepy game. Puzzles are okay but there is so much walking all over the place and the transitions could be quicker. Decent game that is also dark and gloomy.

### 5/5 — Good game!

*2019-02-16, version 1.0*

Very well done with some great puzzles. The gameplay takes a bit of getting used to - would have preferred quicker, easier transitions - but overall it doesn't really interfere. Wonderful graphics. Good long game. A very generous offering. Thank you! I see this dev has another escape game... I'm off now to go play it!
