### 5/5 — The Game is good but

*2026-08-07*

The game is good but overall I can’t get past room 34 and I even typed in the same code sequence but it won’t let me through

### 3/5 — Tolle Idee, mangelhafte Ausführung in Teilen — 3 von 5 Sternen

*2026-06-09*

Das Konzept überzeugt: ein digitales Cryptex als Rätselrahmen, stimmungsvolle Da-Vinci-Ästhetik, viele Zimmer mit echtem Aha-Potential. Wer Knobeln mag, findet hier Momente, die wirklich Spaß machen.

Wenn da nicht drei gravierende Schwächen wären:

1. Die Steuerung sabotiert die eigene Lösung.
Die Rädchen des Cryptex reagieren unzuverlässig und ungenau. Wer die richtige Kombination kennt, dreht sie trotzdem mehrfach hin — weil das Programm erst bei einem nicht definierten Millimeter-Schwellenwert „erkennt”, was eingegeben wurde. Das ist kein Rätsel, das ist Feinmotorik gegen schlechtes UI-Design.

2. Manche Lösungen entbehren jeder nachvollziehbaren Logik.
Kombinatorik, visuelle Assoziation, Symbolik — alles legitime Rätselmechanismen. Was nicht akzeptabel ist: Lösungen, die ohne jeden ableitbaren Bezug schlicht nicht erschlossen werden können. Nicht schwer, nicht knifflig — sondern willkürlich. Ohne externe Walkthrough-Suche schlicht nicht lösbar.

3. Hinweise, die nicht hinweisen.
Wenn ein Hinweis-System angeboten wird, muss es das Richtige beschreiben — nicht eine Variante, die in eine andere Richtung führt als die erwartete Lösung. Das ist keine Hilfe, das ist zusätzliche Verwirrung.

Fazit: Eine Fünf-Sterne-Idee mit zu vielen Drei-Sterne-Momenten. Viele Rätsel sind wirklich phantastisch — andere gehören überarbeitet. Daher: die Hälfte der Punkte.

### 5/5 — Love!!!

*2026-03-09*

Addictive

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2026-02-14*

Love the look of the puzzle. Some of the levels are fairly easy but some are difficult because it is hard to grasp the clues.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, happy you liked this puzzle game! Check out more stuff at https://xsgames.co ;)

### 4/5 — Annonce trop longue

*2025-11-16*

Il devient décourageant de jouer car les annonces sont trop longues.

### 5/5 — Sehr unterhaltsam

*2025-10-05*

Es hat mir gefallen, noch im 50. Zimmer, spiele weiter

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, happy you liked this game! Try the other three chapters at https://xsgames.co for more puzzles ;)

### 1/5 — Pub pub pub

*2025-07-10*

Trop de pub dommage

### 5/5 — Excellent Puzzles

*2025-05-15*

Surprised there aren’t more reviews.  An excellent puzzle game - gets the brain working.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review, glad you liked this game! Check out more stuff at https://xsgames.co for more fun ;)

### 4/5 — Spaccacervello

*2025-04-16, version 1.23*

Mi piace 😆

### 5/5 — Sympathique

*2025-04-06*

Sympa, souvent assez simple; mais ce qui est dommage, c’est que l’aide s’active systématiquement toute seule au bout de quelques secondes donc il faut éviter de la regarder.

Sinon les autres jeux payants de ce développeur sont quand même mieux.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, glad you liked this puzzle game!
