### 5/5 — Honestly one of the best storylines out there

*2020-06-06, version 2.4.5*

I really love these characters and want to find out what happens next. Chapter 2 is quite a bit longer than chapter 1. I’m hoping chapter 3 will be long as well. I never pay full price for games, but I will for this one.

### 5/5 — Tolles Spielvergnügen

*2020-06-01*

Der 1. Teil war schon vielversprechend. Freu mich jetzt auf den 3.

### 5/5 — Loved This Game!!!

*2020-04-29, version 2.4.5*

I loved how different the graphics and fun elements of this story game are from most other point & click games. It was a perfect difficulty for someone who plays these types of games often. Thank you for the originality!

### 4/5 — Loved it! But the sounds didn’t work

*2020-03-29, version 2.4.5*

I loved this game but the sound never worked while I was playing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn’t work ):

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-04-15, version 2.4.5*

Brings back memories of Grim Fandango. Loved it. Great soundtrack fitting for the afro-noir world of the game

### 5/5 — Smooth enjoying experience

*2019-01-27, version 2.4.5*

Arts, dialogs, music, atmosphere... absolutely great. 100% recommending to fans of point n click.

### 5/5 — Inteligente e divertido!

*2018-12-29, version 2.4.5*

Excelente história, trilha sonora e gráficos. Um dos melhores do estilo!

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2018-11-13, version 2.4.5*

Amazing, amazing, amazing, did I say amazing? Such high quality graphics, you really feel your actually there, to top it off the most perfect music along the way. RIP Simon you legend. There are very few games of this quality, that transport you to another world so completely. Well done all involved.

### 5/5 — Best so far ever

*2018-10-07, version 2.4.5*

I like this game a lot. Best adventure click and point so far. Nothing depressing in it. So much humor and fun.

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2018-03-29, version 2.4.5*

High quality graphics,sound, story, puzzles but mainly lots of fun.  Love the characters.  Sorry to hear about Mr Souza... Great soundtrack.

### 5/5 — The Journey Down 2

*2017-12-01, version 2.4.5*

Beautifully put together game with fabulously rich characters with accents from Jamaica, Africa, Deep South in US, and a swabby who doesn’t seems quite sure if he’s an Aussi or a Cockney! Love it! The scenes are so atmospheric and the jazzy background music perfect. I really appreciate the different approach to the character creation, some with African Masks for faces, some with robotic faces, and maybe even marionnettes. It lends an air of other worldliness to the story yet the characters have all the humor and idiosyncrasies of humans.

### 5/5 — Top quality point & click adventure

*2017-10-14, version 2.4.5*

If you were disappointed with the length of chapter 1, don’t worry, this one is MUCH longer. Chapter 2 offers more of the amazing Afro-noir game design, funky jazz soundtrack, and hilariously eccentric characters that made the 1st chapter so unique and fantastic and I loved every minute of it. I do wish enola’s house of butterflies was still a playable area though, it sounds pretty amazing 😉

### 5/5 — Still waiting for finale!

*2017-08-30, version 2.4.5*

One of the best point and clicks i've played along with the first part. Amazing fun!

### 5/5 — Classic Point & Click ❤️😍

*2017-07-22, version 2.4.5*

Very smooth mobile version, not a clumsy, hastily put together port in any way. This adventure is also a graphically beautiful homage to West African culture. 🎭 

This game has fully-voiced characters, tastefully mature humor, and puzzles that will have gamers roaming around the lovely, yet gritty, scenes searching for clues for hours (talk to everyone, exhaust the dialogue choices, and return for new information occasionally). 

My only complaint is that it takes time to produce such clever games, and I am impatiently awaiting the next installment. 😡

### 5/5 — Absolute Empfehlung!

*2017-06-25, version 2.03*

Wunderbares Adventure. Ich bin gespannt auf den dritten Teil, der ja im August endlich rauskommen soll :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fix the sound.

*2020-08-14, version 2.4.5*

Sound comletely broken.  Not worth the price.

### 1/5 — No sound?

*2020-07-20, version 2.4.5*

Tried on both my iPad and iPhone and after the initial opening scene when they’re talking on the boat there’s no audio?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPad Air 2!

*2016-11-16, version 2.03*

I've just asked for my money back as I purchased the bundle and when it opens it says that it needs to be updated by the developer before it'll work on this iPad!!!
Why are they allowed to sell it on here?
Terrible service.

### 1/5 — Asinine

*2016-10-08, version 2.03*

Annoying accents, inane dialogue, stupid storyline unless you are 12. DELETE.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2020-10-03, version 2.4.5*

I have sound for cutscenes but none for gameplay. I also have to tap the screen to forward the text, it doesn’t continue automatically. I also found out after I purchased the first two chapters, that I could have bought the entire three chapters for a third of the price. Way to go to make a bad experience, for an otherwise enjoyable game.

### 2/5 — Subtitles

*2016-04-09, version 2.03*

Once again, please add Spanish subtitles

### 3/5 — seltsam

*2022-12-27*

Ohne Komplettlösung gar nicht zu schaffen.
Sehr schade, der erste Teil war sehr nett.
Das letzte Rätsel ist unlogisch und nur durch 100faches ausprobieren zu lösen.

### 3/5 — Слишком короткая

*2016-06-09, version 2.03*

не стоит своих денег

### 3/5 — Favorite point and click game

*2016-05-12, version 2.03*

I only gave it a 3 because I felt it was a little overpriced at $7 for what it delivered. I feel like it was easier than the first one, so it didn't take me very long to finish. Still, the graphics are great and was fun for the short time it lasted.

### 4/5 — :-)

*2021-05-05*

Der zweite Teil hat mir noch besser gefallen, als der erste. Er war länger, kniffeliger und spannender.
Die deutschen Untertitel sind prima, es gibt nur auch hier ein Problem mit ä,ö und ü, die werden nur kryptisch dargestellt.
Schade ist, dass man nicht wählen kann, dass man das englisch Gesprochene nicht ausschalten kann.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-02-13, version 2.6.0*

Loved these absolutely great, don’t scroll past and not get the full set, I wish there were more 😃

### 5/5 — Please support backbone

*2025-02-09*

Controller Support please!!!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-11-04, version 2.4.5*

I wish more of these were made- great adventures that the developers poured their heart into (not Room Escape lazy “find the key” cookie cutters).

### 5/5 — Großartiges Point&Click

*2022-10-18*

TJD ist ein absolutes Meisterwerk mit logischen und gleichzeitig anspruchsvolles Rätseln, einer gesunden Portion Humor und einem grandiosen Soundtrack.

### 5/5 — Best adventure game since the classic lucasarts games!

*2022-04-18, version 2.4.5*

This is far the best game I have ever come across since I played games like the monkey island trilogy, day of the tentacle and sam & max! Beautiful, feel-good graphics, great characters, funny and original dialogues, and awesome soundtrack! The puzzles are challenging exactly on the right level. The voice actors also did an amazing job! Frankly, this game has a magical atmosphere. I enjoyed every single minute of playing it and I can’t wait to start chapter 3!

### 5/5 — Fun and entertaining

*2021-08-11, version 2.4.5*

Liked part 1 & 2. Good ideas. Waiting for part 3 x)

### 5/5 — Teil 2 ist richtig cool

*2021-03-16*

Ich liebe bwana!!!
So geil die Aussprache.
So stell ich mir den rastaman auf Jamaika vor.
Heute ist noch Teil 3 dran.
Hoffe da gibt es irgendwie noch mehr von euch oder in naher Zukunft ✌️👍

### 5/5 — Awesome soundtrack

*2020-09-26, version 2.4.5*

If you are a fan of big band style jazz, the soundtrack alone deserves five star rating. Gameplay was fun too but i really love the musicians involved in this gem. Rip Simon.

### 5/5 — 챕터원은 플레이타임이 짧지만 2,3 은 길어요

*2020-08-19*

디테일이 살아있는 게임이에요. 어드벤쳐게임이 별로없는 지금에 꼭 할만한 게임이에요

### 5/5 — More please :-)

*2020-06-29*

Really nice game, I really liked it. Played the trilogy and I would be happy about more adventures from Bwana and Kito Man :-)
Chapter one was really short, chapters 2 and 3 were longer, but in my opinion not long enough for this price. I would like to have longer playing fun. Chapter 3 had no German subtitles. Go ahead, SkyGoblin, more games like this please :-D
