### 5/5 — Best part:  I’m all alone

*2025-07-31*

Something I enjoy about glitch games (Forever Lost, Forgotten Room…), is a feeling of being so alone, in a liminal space (if I have that right).  Places and stories where there “something mysterious,big, dark, dangerous happened” before I showed up in the story.,,, and whatever it was, it’s still lingering.  I’m getting drawn closer to whatever the dark truth is, and beyond point of no return…. But I got to finish the story even if it means I’m doomed.

### 5/5 — The forgotten room

*2025-05-03, version 1.2.4*

I just Finished it and i loved it you should totally make a part two❤️❤️

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-02-23, version 1.2.4*

I did enjoy the game until the ending. I do not recommend this game because of the ending. It was a huge letdown

### 4/5 — Pretty good for a short story.

*2024-10-22, version 1.2.4*

Very nice. I liked it a lot for such a short story. On a scale of one to 10 with the hardest, it was probably around seven. I really enjoyed it!

### 5/5 — Love their games!

*2023-08-24*

Either I'm just getting better or this game was a little shorter than I'm used to. Regardless, still entertaining very much entertaining! Need more games!!

### 5/5 — I want more!

*2023-01-02, version 1.2.1*

I’ve played this game at least 3 times through over the past couple years bc it’s just a good one. I love glitch games and would love to see more of this style coming from them!

### 4/5 — Good puzzle game

*2022-10-30*

Puzzle games such as this one are the only type of game I play and this is certainly one of the better ones, albeit a little bit short.
Well worth a try.

### 5/5 — Loved it!

*2022-10-26*

Great spooky storyline, puzzles are challenging but not impossible,  the ending freaked me out a bit but that was part of what made it really enjoyable. My only complaint is that there aren’t enough games like this. Please do a sequel!

### 4/5 — Good

*2022-09-25, version 1.2*

Good game
Enjoyed the puzzles
Couple of spooky instances 

It was short but that was ok however the ending! It was prime for extra play, promise of number 2, a massive jump scare 
Anything would have made it an even better game rather than that!

### 5/5 — Creepy and atmospheric

*2022-07-11*

I really enjoyed playing this game and as with all Glitch adventures the puzzles can be tricky but they all make sense. Can’t wait for more.
