### 4/5 — Too much hassle when moving

*2025-07-08*

It takes too much time and unnecessary animation to move one place to one another. Might be better to omit the shot of the door and just straight go into another room instead.

### 1/5 — Beyond the border

*2024-06-22*

While I have no problem with the usual requisites of horror-escape-games as pieces of bodies, blood or sudden ghostly appearances, I definitely draw the line, when the game demands of me to actively pull the trigger to eletrocute or otherwise kill somebody as „punishment“. No.

### 3/5 — Too gross for me

*2024-02-26*

Writing this review to remind myself not to buy any more of these. They aren’t bad games but they are too gross for me.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2023-12-22*

It took this game about two minutes to glitch out and completely stop working. There were a few minor glitches at first and then the whole screen went black. No matter what I did, this kept happening. I’m very upset I paid money for a game I will never get to play.

### 3/5 — This game was created by a psychopath!

*2023-04-21*

Wow. This game is creepy as fk! Only a criminal deviant of the lowest order, could conceive of some sht like this!

**Developer response:** I'm intrigued by your visceral response to a hand-drawn horror game. The game was definitely designed to become creepier as play progresses. And as the story unfolds, you, as the protagonist, are eventually confronted with the villainous ghost of Ernie Hobbes who has committed unspeakable crimes against you and your family. If this game doesn't make you feel uncomfortable by the finale then perhaps it's time to check into Hotel Orpheus. Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2023-02-05*

I really enjoy these games. The puzzles are difficult and the levels are intricate. The creepy ambience reminds me of Rusty Lake games. Well done.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2023-01-11*

Good puzzles while also a good story.

Just a few things that would be good to tweak:
1. The curtain on the door in the prison room is just irritating since when trying to drag it down it drags down the notification center for my phone lol. Maybe add like a pull string or something to the curtain? 
2. The ability to skip the long zoom-ins to the Prison room entrance and the Emergency Exit once seeing the cutscene once already. 

But overall great game. Hope there's more to come.

### 5/5 — Замечательная игра

*2022-11-03*

Очень атмосферный квест, захватывающий сюжет, нестандартные головоломки и деликатные подсказки внутри самой игры. Вся серия теперь одна из моих любимых. Thank you, Brian, it was amazing. Make more games, please.

### 5/5 — Super

*2022-04-16*

Ein spannendes, abwechslungsreiches und kniffliges Spiel. Durch die gesammelten Notizen, die sehr hilfreich sind, schafft man es gut bis zum Ziel. Ja, das Spiel hat einige gruselige Sequenzen, es wird aber vorher ja darauf hingewiesen. Für mich waren es wieder schöne lange knifflige Stunden.

### 3/5 — Exceeding limits of crudity

*2022-01-01*

A pity, the game is well made! A bit gloomy and macabre, still sort of ok. But when it comes to electrocution - I’m out!
