### 3/5 — The Keeper of Antiques

*2024-05-20, version 1.0.0*

I bought this game. When I got to the demonic ink part, I can’t go any further. Stuck. 

Please help.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-07-15, version 1.0.0*

Enjoyed this one, if not for a few cliches I would have given this game 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Fun but watch out for puppet trouble

*2022-07-08, version 1.0.0*

I know this game is getting a little bit old but there may still be people who want to play it and there may be those of you who got it and dogged out as I did in the section with the puppet assembly. For all of you who have had trouble or might have trouble in the future here’s what to do. Do not put the purple leg on the puppet. You have to use the brown leg from the piano first. If you accidentally put the other leg on nothing will fix it except reloading the game and starting over. I did this so I know this works. Put the brown leg from the piano on first then the rest of it works just like it’s supposed to. I don’t know why there’s not a restart option on that particular game piece, but it absolutely makes the game impossible to go forward unless you put that brown leg on first.

### 4/5 — A little dissatisfied

*2020-11-28, version 1.0.0*

Was loving this game till I got to where you had to get the ink you can not get it there is a glitch there and this means I can not finish the game shame come on big fish sort it out  I had paid for this game

### 2/5 — Livre regenere

*2020-10-04, version 1.0.0*

Bug presque a la fin pour obtenir l’encre demoniaque...pas top et frustrant

### 2/5 — Ran into a glitch

*2019-12-31, version 1.0.0*

I played the game again in Dec 2019. It is super slow to respond between scenes and the guide kept coming up. Story is good but this game needs an over haul!

The game was going along well but near the end, in an HOS, one of the demonic ink drops on the monster's arm wouldn't go into the inkwell so now I can't continue with the game. Frustrating & disappointing.

### 4/5 — Trippy game, but good!

*2019-08-21, version 1.0.0*

I enjoyed it, nice length, a little out there though!

### 3/5 — Good But Enjoyed The Last Will Much Much Better!!!

*2019-08-04, version 1.0.0*

I like the Last Will in the series much better in this one even though they both had the same things that come with these games the storyline wasn’t nearly as coherent or fun to follow.  This series also has a habit of putting the guide so close to the hint/skip button that I lost a couple of achievements bc it accidentally registered as me hitting the hint & skip button when I only meant to hit the guide button, so that was a bummer too!

### 2/5 — Bug

*2019-01-30, version 1.0.0*

Die Puppe des Vaters lässt sich nicht zusammensetzen, da die Einzelteile übereinander und miteinander verkleben...

### 4/5 — Vermillion Watch Fleshbound

*2018-03-29, version 1.0.0*

It’s a good game, some of the puzzles were difficult for me.
But I’m enjoying playing it..

### 4/5 — Frustrated

*2017-09-02, version 1.0.0*

I can't get the last tear to go into the ink and it's stuck. Very frustrated. Started game over and boom stuck in same place. Otherwise it's a good game. Need this bug fixed asap. Not starting over again. Also if u are a Canadian all big fish games cost more. Which is a shame
Well had to start game over 3 xs now. Last tear won't go into ink. You really need to read your reviews and fix the bugs. That's part of customer service. May not want to buy the next you create if you don't care enough to solve issues.

### 4/5 — 面白い。

*2017-08-07, version 1.0.0*

セールで、ちょっと古いのでどうかなと思って期待しなかったからか、面白かった。ストーリーも無理が無く、ミニゲームもメリハリがあって、難しいところと普通に解けるところとあってストレスが無い。何度かニヤリとする面白さがありました。アイパッドで、操作性も大きな問題はありませんでした。

### 3/5 — 古い

*2017-07-31, version 1.0.0*

4年前なら面白く遊んだかも。グラフイックも、数年前なら良かったよね！ゲームも、そうだよね！とにもかくにも古いんだよ！悪くはないけど！としか形容出来ず、途中で飽きた。

### 3/5 — Having a good time, but.........

*2017-07-30, version 1.0.0*

I was playing this on my IPad Pro and was enjoying the game, just the right difficulty, But I've noticed a few glitches.  One is the 'hint/guide' button.  Times I needed a hint, the guide popped up.  Then when I wanted to check the guide it showed me a hint.  I learned it was fickle and was careful afterwards. Then I reached the puzzle which has three rings to turn so it formed what I took to be an owl.  Absolutely no way to make it work.  I am unable to skip it (which is the absolutely the last thing I ever want to do) but it won't let me.  I am now stuck and will delete and try again, I suppose. Ver frustrating.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-06-08, version 1.0.0*

The owl ring doesn’t work very frustrating

### 1/5 — The keeper of antiques

*2025-07-19, version 1.0.0*

Gros bug sur la reconstitution de la marionnette 
Impossible d’annuler quoi que ce soit….
Dommage…
Je ne peux donc finir le jeu acheté

### 1/5 — 買ってはダメです❌

*2025-01-29, version 1.0.0*

返金はAppleのサイトからアンケート形式で要求出来ます。バグは直ってないです。人形のパズル、１つはスキップで回避できましたが次のはスキップ出来ません。選択間違えたら詰みます。購入の復元も出来ませんし、リセットも出来ません。定期的に更新しないアプリは削除対象になったはず。日本のアプリだけ審査厳しいんですかね。

### 1/5 — Owl with Book Emblem Minigame...

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.0*

There is a glitch with the rotation puzzle with the owl and the book in chapter 3. One cannot proceed in the game without having completed this puzzle, but that’s impossible. I see that this was reported 4 years ago, it is 4/2/2021 and it is still broken. I’m asking Apple for a refund because you are selling a broken product.

### 1/5 — Download?

*2019-10-16, version 1.0.0*

Why won’t this download? I don’t recall ever purchasing this game and was trying to download it for the first time. It was not stored in my cloud, yet now it is but will not download?

### 1/5 — Still full of glitches

*2017-08-18, version 1.0.0*

As full of glitches by a previous review. Got to the book/owl and can't get it to recognise the correct solution. Shame, it seems these bugs are not a priority for fixing, otherwise it would have been a good game.

### 1/5 — Deletes profiles

*2017-06-05, version 1.0.0*

This is the 3rd game now from big fish that has continuously deleted my profiles and made me start from the beginning.  I know all the troubleshooting techniques they tell u to do like make sure all running apps are closed, and have the current iOS and delete cache, then reinstall and restart device after download yet they never work.  Two of the new witches legacy games did this very same thing.
I got to the beginning of the bonus chapter and it deleting my profile because I left the game to do something else on my iPad.  Came back and had to start from the beginning of main story.  I had liked the game so decided to do it all over again just to play the bonus chapter.  I get all the way to chasing after the Bradley dude that wrote the book twds the end  of the game and needed to go to sleep cause I'm not a machine and sure enough I wake up to find my profile deleted for the second time and it making me start all over again.  This is ridiculous.  I am such a fan of big fish games but it seems like I can't trust any game to work lately.  Spending money on something I can't even use.  Using that money for toilet paper would of given me more use for it.
Big fish if u really care about these reviews and read them and fix the problem of this game deleting profiles and the two witches legacy games that I emailed support about months ago yet the games never got fixed then I will gladly give this game a five star rating as well as the witches legacy games.  But seeing how my support email for those two games did no good I'm assuming this game is trash for me as well.  Sad because I actually liked the game and story.

### 1/5 — Crash!!!

*2017-05-11, version 1.0.0*

In the beginning when I started to play the game I enjoyed and that's why I purchased it But right after the first time I tried to start the game it crashed even before it opened. I deleted and then downloaded again and tried to open the it but..it crashed. I deleted it and started up again and...? Guess what?.... 
Should I repeat my self? Probably not. 
This the very first time something like that ever happened to me in my experience with BF. I am   
one of their biggest fans and probably one of the best customers and I wish I could get my money back for this game since I never even had a chance to play it. It doesn't even deserve one star!

### 1/5 — Revived book

*2017-05-09, version 1.0.0*

I have only got a little way into this game, and already l cannot pick out the symbols on the globe which means l cannot proceed. REFUND PLEASE!

### 1/5 — Fan that was

*2017-04-07, version 1.0.0*

The animations do not respond to the input no matter how correctly y select. Poor performance, not worth the money.

*2018-10-17, version 1.0.0*

Makes you think and work to solve puzzles.  Am in my 70’s and keeps my brain “working” good!  Most of my games are Big Fish.  I have the app and load more once I’ve solved the ones I’m working on.

So far no tech issues and it's a really awesome game so far!

### 5/5 — Well done! 😊

I started this game in the late afternoon but I was unable to power it down until I finished... which was the wee hours of the morning.

Thank you so much for giving me such an amazing experience.

Great game!  Just finished the game and starting the bonus chapter.  I don't usually write a review, but I've enjoyed it so much I had to!
