The ads can disrupt gameplay a little and may benefit being placed in exchange for a hint, instead of the coin function being established to purchase hints. I have needed to watch a gameplay video because I don’t buy in-game currencies, and some puzzles and their clues weren’t intuitive for me. This may just be because I am relatively new to this type of game. Overall fun and fits a creepy-cute vibe with nice 2D artwork and animations. ### 2/5 — Good but…. *2026-05-18, version 1.1.39* Ads, too many ads game is amazing love the puzzles but ads ruin the experience. ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2025-07-08, version 1.1.16* It was very difficult at times and some of the items were impossible to see. I had to use a walkthrough, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to complete the game ### 2/5 — Downloaded it today *2025-03-01, version 1.1.16* Two things I’ve noticed; 1. An ad is run before any game play has begun, and 2. “hammer” is spelled “hummer.” I have yet to find a puzzle that can be completed, so I’m giving up. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-08-17, version 1.1.16* There are too many ads and so annoying. I would probably spend the money to remove ads if there are not that many ads. Now I feel disgusted and unwilling to pay. ### 3/5 — Fun game, too many ads *2024-07-21, version 1.1.16* I enjoy these kind of games and wanted to try it out. It’s hard to get into it with all the ads. Also, there is no “delete number” in the number box puzzle. If you want to erase a number you put in the puzzle, you can’t. ### 4/5 — Stop the breathing! *2024-02-29, version 1.1.16* The game is awesome, great puzzles!! Buuuuttt….i get the heavy breathing is supposed to add to the ambiance, but bro its so annoying and loud and the fact that you can’t turn it off even with the sound off is super bothersome. It’s so loud it puts your own breath out of rhythm. Please do away with it. ### 3/5 — All data deleted if choose to replay *2024-02-03, version 1.1.16* I enjoyed the game. There’s not too much to the story, and easy to get lost with so many rooms that are a bit similar. but it’s a good point and click game , reminds me of some Forgotten Hill & Rusty Lake. The Big Issue is some puzzles are so tedious (at least for me) - like rearranging tiles to create the picture. I’m just not not good with those … so I purchased coins to skip the puzzle. 49 coins to skip a puzzle is kinda excessive. The Bigger Issue is, i enjoy replaying these types of games. But if you choose “New Game” from the main menu, all data is erased INCLUDING purchases. Oddly though, I pay the small price for no ads. That purchase is still effective on replay. so your coins could go from 1-1000 , and all would be lost. so to skip the one or two puzzles that always boggle me in every game by ever developer / series, I’d have to pay the price over and over again. Seems absurd to not have a “restart” option or really even the “new game” option carry over purchases. It’s a money grab, bad coding, and greed. I understand hard work went into creating the game, but if you’re required to pay $3.99-$5.99 for enough coins to skip a puzzle- that’s just greedy. ### 1/5 — Does not load. *2023-11-05, version 1.0.8* Loads no further than white screen. Playing on newest version of iOS. ### 1/5 — Holy ads *2023-10-24, version 1.0.8* Seriously? Ads every 30 seconds? Ads for hints? The gameplay isn’t fun to even tolerate this. There’s no obvious progression through things you find and where they go. You just have to click around like mad to see if objects go somewhere. There are some exceptions but when you complete a task there’s no way to tell what to do next. Poorly thought out. Bummer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too hard *2025-08-09* What’s the point of creating puzzles that are too hard to pass? If you have to watch the walktrough instead of playing the game than it’s a waste of time. ### 1/5 — SCAM in app purchases!! *2025-06-30, version 1.1.16* I spent $5 on “gold coins” that can be used to purchase hints in the game and never received the coins. Do not buy them! ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2025-04-30* Storyline and puzzles were really nice but there is an ad popping up like every 2-3 minutes and is about 15-30 seconds long which is so annoying. ### 1/5 — White Screen of Death *2025-01-30, version 1.1.16* I was able to play the for a little while (didn’t finish), and then out of the blue I open the app and just get a white screen after the ‘made by’ intro. ‘Twas nice while it lasted. 😕👎🏼 ### 1/5 — White Screen *2025-01-28, version 1.1.16* Doesn’t get further than a white screen. I’m using a newer iPhone, and it’s fully updated, so I don’t think it’s on my end. Too bad, cause I really wanted to play it. It looked really interesting ### 1/5 — Ads are very 2 mins. *2024-06-19, version 1.1.16* Can’t even play it, horrible. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-06-01, version 1.1.16* 15 seconds of game play followed by an ad: repeat.. no thank you, uninstall! ### 1/5 — Ad removal scam *2024-05-15, version 1.1.16* Paid for ads to be removed - didn’t work. Have claimed back through Apple. Game is unplayable with the number of ads. ### 1/5 — Too many ads that i had to uninstall *2024-01-20* I understand they make money from ads but this is just too much. Even though the story was good it’s not at all enjoyable with an ad coming up after every 30 seconds. Has to uninstall for my sanity ### 1/5 — Cute BUT TOO MANY ADS *2023-11-27, version 1.0.8* very cute puzzle game except every 30 seconds you hit an ad wall. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great point and click *2026-04-19, version 1.1.39* Perfect for fans of Rusty Lake and Forgotten Hill. Pay to get rid of ads - it’s worth it! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-03-10, version 1.1.39* As someone who loves horror and puzzle games, this is very good. Some of the puzzles were a bit tricky so I used help with those, but for a free game, this is amazing! ### 5/5 — Fantastic and challenging *2026-01-14, version 1.1.39* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great *2024-04-11* This was a great puzzle game! If you don’t want ADs..buy it! This made me think out of the box! It is a fantastic puzzle game and would like more like this! I recommend you all play it! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great job *2023-12-07, version 1.1.16* Great little puzzles. Items are very hard to find but it’s still not a tap screen everywhere till you find something. Everything makes sense and all puzzles are solvable even if a pain. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game! *2023-11-22* Such a long and complicated game, all free! I do need a lot of help to get through but enjoying it a lot. ### 5/5 — I didn’t see it coming *2023-11-15* The end definitely got me surprised! Looking forward for the next one! ### 5/5 — fun and challenging *2023-10-23, version 1.0.8* actually challenging. took me a while to finish ### 5/5 — Ótimo jogo *2023-10-20* Eu amei esse jogo! Embora tenham alguns desafios bem difíceis para mim e precisei procurar ajuda e obter pistas para resolver os enigmas kkk, mas fora isso achei o jogo incrível! E quase não tem propagandas 💕 ### 5/5 — wow *2023-09-29* definitely wasn’t expecting the end 😍🥰 but its a good game overall, but i do think that the clues could connect better with each other really liked it though !!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
