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! ### 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. ### 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! ### 4/5 — 1st Time Playing a Glitch Game *2022-03-11* This was the first time for me playing a Glitch game. And I must say it was very challenging, creepy, but so FUN! Some items were hard to see because it was so dark. Maybe playing on a bigger screen vs. iPad would resolve that. I did have to cheat using the walkthrough a few times, but again, this was my first Glitch game. Now that I’m more familiar with their “style” of play…on to the next Glitch game! ### 2/5 — Can’t believe i payed for this *2021-12-22, version 1.1.0* The puzzles were good. The suspense okay. The ending was infuriating. Not worth 1.99. Save your coins people. ### 2/5 — Not worth the time. *2021-10-09, version 1.1.0* Prepare to be extremely disappointed in how this ends. ### 3/5 — Ganz ok *2021-08-24* Die Rätsel sind ein bisschen knackig, die Spielatmosphäre ist gut, schade das es in Englisch war. Der Preis ist annehmbar, aber das Ende ist enttäuschend. ### 4/5 — こっわw *2021-07-20* 面白いし結構こわいけどえ？そこで終わりという感じでもうちょっと先が知りたかったな。 ### 3/5 — Decent, creepy, nice diversion for an hour or two *2021-05-31* A nice game by the team behind Forever Lost. Great art, as always, and the beginnings of an engrossing storyline. If this is your first encounter with Glitch, you’re in for a pleasant ride. However, if you’ve already experienced the Forever Lost universe, manage your expectations. It’s a side effort and doesn’t involve the type of rich narrative and empathetic characters invested in Glitch’s main franchise. Still, I found it well worth paying the full price and played through in about two hours. Like I said, it’s a fun one-off. And it’s good to support quality game studios! ### 3/5 — Yes, but……. *2021-05-15* Engrossing (mostly), but rather unsatisfying. Some puzzles very easy/obvious; some complicated, but doable; some impenetrable - who ever heard of (spoiler alert) an ice key? May be OK for the price <£2, but I doubt it. There are better similar games out there. ### 3/5 — Some puzzles with need of improvement *2021-04-20* I enjoyed the game with challenging puzzles except the audio recording which gives the answer to the piano puzzle. The issue is that I am deaf and cannot hear the sounds. I had to look it up in the walkthrough to solve the puzzle. This audio recording needs to be added with subtitles. Also, the trumpet puzzle (for pinball machine) is not clear on which buttons were tapped so I wasn’t sure how to decipher the patterns. It could be that the way the buttons is tapped too fast or randomly so it was difficult to follow the order of the patterns I need to press to match the patterns in the pinball machine. I had to look it up in the walkthrough to solve the puzzle. Overall, I give this rating 3 stars. This game contains good puzzles, but some puzzles needs improvement to make it clear and understandable. ### 3/5 — Not a Fan *2021-03-06* Although many of the puzzles have to be thought out, a few are ridiculous. The key mold for instance. Won’t do a spoiler so that’s all I say on that one. Like the other games, the camera is a great touch to remember things but a map would be even nicer. Had a small glitch with the letters game (iPad)...a letter would be right next to the SETTINGS wheel of the game and could not get it without hitting the settings button. Going back and forth a few times from the puzzle alleviated the problem. Just didn’t care for it. ### 3/5 — Can’t open the app *2021-03-06, version 1.0.9* Stuck at “tap any where to continue”...... ### 4/5 — Perfect, more please *2021-02-07, version 1.0.9* I devoured this in an afternoon. Thank you for keeping me entertained. ### 3/5 — Not bad. Very short. Kind of a dumb twist ending. *2021-01-20* ^ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Needs some kind of hints when someone gets stuck *2021-12-29* I can’t believe that they just leave you stuck! Other games that I payed like this always has a help that you can click on, so you are not stuck the whole time. Very little clues. You go around clicking on everything, and it still saying you need a battery or something. After awhile I just got boarded clicking on everything that I could think of over, and over again. As I said…. I just can’t believe that they just leave you stuck. How can they think that is fun for the players???? ### 1/5 — Why ask me to purchase again? *2021-05-19, version 1.1.0* I purchased this some time ago. Now it’s asking me to purchase again. ### 1/5 — Don‘t get the game started using iPad Pro 🤔 *2021-02-06* Any Tipp? ### 1/5 — Not happy *2021-01-25* Having bought this game in September 2018, it is now telling me to buy the game again. I’ve tried restoring the game, deleting and re-installing the game, emailing the developers. The “buy now” screen has a section to the lower left which needs to be pressed if you have already bought the game, but nothing happens when I press it. Is this the future with Glitch Games? Will not be buying any more from them until this is sorted out. **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version to fix this. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t finish *2020-10-18, version 1.0.8* Got about halfway through and it glitched at a crucial point (gas can wouldn’t appear after eye puzzle). Restarted multiple times. Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-09-09, version 1.0.8* Couldn’t even play this title it would never load past the "touch anywhere to begin" title screen. ### 1/5 — Annoying, It keep crashing all the time. *2020-05-25* A year after the fix, It keep crashing all the time. **Developer response:** I'm uploading a new version now that should hopefully help us diagnose the problem better. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2020-04-09, version 1.0.5* Puzzles are non-intuitive, no clues are available. I just ended up walking through it. Really stupid ### 1/5 — frustrating *2020-01-11* Constantly crashes. Too bad as it's a fun and challenging game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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❤️❤️ ### 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! ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Glitch games are awesome! *2022-05-15, version 1.1.1* Love it Forgotten room2 PLZzzzzzzzzz ### 5/5 — Schaurig schöner Zeitvertreib *2021-12-30* Nach dem Durchspielen der „Forever Lost“-Reihe von Glitch Games bin ich auf dieses Escape Spiel gestoßen und sehr zufrieden: - Kreative Rätsel - überzeugende Grafik - ansprechende Stimmung und Musik - Englischkenntnisse für ein paar Rätsel erforderlich (und um die Story zu verstehen) - für mich angenehme Spieldauer (kann man gut in 3-4 Stunden spielen, natürlich auch schneller, wenn man sehr vertraut mit dem Genre ist - erfrischendes Ende (why not?) Ich freue mich auf weitere so stimmige kleine Rätsel-Episoden und wünsche viel Freude beim Spielen! ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-09-09* OMG that was so creepy. If you are jittery, only turn the sound on if you need it for the game. The music totally freaked me out and the ending is so brutally awful. (Not in a bad way, it’s a great finale, but DARK man) I love all the Glitch Games. They can’t make them fast enough for me!!!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant as usual *2021-08-31* Glitch never disappoint. Point and click on the App Store does not get better than their games. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
