Didn’t take long from start to finish the game. Not sure it was worth the $$$ with so little interaction. ### 3/5 — Puzzled *2021-06-13, version 1.4* Can’t sole free statue grid and only walkthrough they cheat at it ### 3/5 — Cute but overpriced *2020-12-13, version 1.4* $5 is too much for the short amount of gameplay. Takes an hour-2 to complete. Otherwise a cute/fun game, just not worth the price. ### 2/5 — Cooles Spiel, aber... *2020-12-12* Nach 15min Spielzeit war ich mit der Gratisversion durch und sollte dann 5,49€ zahlen um weiter machen zu können. Zu teuer für eine App ### 3/5 — Not worth what it cost *2020-10-25* I agree with another reviewer that this game is a bit overpriced. Also, the description is misleading. As I write this the phrase “armed with a backpack and a few essentials” is in the description. You’re not “armed” with anything when you start. And there is no concept of a backpack, just a regular inventory. (A “backpack” would limit what it can hold.) I expected this game to be more adventure/mystery/survival than it was. The graphics are lovely, there are a variety of puzzles, but it’s still just an extended escape-the-room game... and you can get many of those for free. ### 2/5 — ??? *2020-09-29* Looks like it could be a great game. But ... 1. Totally counterintuitive 2. Impossible to navigate - can’t figure out how to enter into past levels as tapping on them or swiping does not work 3. Etc, etc ### 5/5 — I enjoy this game *2020-09-03* Although at first it seems that some puzzles are simply impossible to cope with, you eventually solve them. I also like to explore this unknown territory, admire the scenery and solve simple puzzles along the way. The storyline could have been more exciting, but overall it is ok 👍. ### 5/5 — Fascinating *2020-09-02, version 1.4* I like this game despite the fact that some puzzles are really difficult. It’s not really my type, but it’s still fascinating. A good way to pass time. ### 5/5 — Nice graphics and fascinating gameplay *2020-09-01, version 1.4* This is a really good adventure game. You just immerse yourself in the atmosphere and really feel completely alone in this isolated territory. You have no one to depend on but yourself... and hints. ### 5/5 — Amazing graphics *2020-08-30* This game has very great graphics and I like the design of the island. The survival experience is on a high level. I am very happy to try this puzzle application with many tangled levels and make my brain working. Looks very colorful and magical. ### 5/5 — Good one *2020-08-29* A good quest that quickly immerses you in its own atmosphere. You will have to read a lot. Found items and data are saved in diary. The game itself is not long. You can beat it during one day. ### 5/5 — bright game *2020-08-28, version 1.4* this is a very bright game and I love its graphics. The application is very colorful and there are a lot of locations to explore. I like that there are a lot of logical puzzles here and the chance to explore the colorful area and try online survival. ### 5/5 — Survive *2020-08-27* It is cool how I am able to fill the bag with various objects that I am using during the gaming. The survival after the crash looks pretty realistic and I like that this application is developed in bright colors. Looks nice! Clicking objects is easy and the interface is pretty friendly. ### 5/5 — Great game!!! *2020-08-27, version 1.4* This game is very colorful and I like that there are a lot of stages here. It was nice to play this virtual survival game and explore a lot of mysteries. The graphics is bright which is also nice. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Solve a puzzle, get punished *2021-09-17, version 1.4* Every time you solve a puzzle you get shunted to an ad. No good deed goes unpunished. ### 1/5 — Only first part free *2021-04-24* Only lets you go so far then you have to pay to continue- free game is limited. ### 1/5 — Schutz *2021-02-02* Schmutz ### 1/5 — Not Free! *2020-12-28, version 1.4* After a few scenes you can’t go further without paying $4.99. Not only is this sneaky but I will avoid all games by this developer to avoid this trap in the future. With games out there like The Room which are $10 and FAR SUPERIOR well as long, this is a pass for me. ### 1/5 — 10 minutes = 10 ads *2020-10-14, version 1.4* Played for 10 minutes, had 10 ads. The game could be fun, but an ad after every single puzzle is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Why is 1 star longer than 2 3 star lol o *2020-10-01, version 1.4* Semkkkk ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-07-26, version 1.3* I was expecting to be able to to my own thing. But guess what instead there was a story line. I didn’t like it at all. ### 1/5 — Zu viele Bugs *2020-04-19* Spiel nicht lösbar, einige Rätsel haben Bugs! Abzocke! ### 1/5 — Jeu payant pour version complète *2020-04-10, version 1.3* Au bout de quelques énigmes il faut payer pour débloquer le jeu complet. ### 1/5 — ended up having to donate to get needed clue *2020-04-05, version 1.3* ok until then ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-09-04* Really good game like it and it used different places of the earth I hear people complaining about the puzzles, but they’re like actually pretty easy so please tell these people to stop making up their things ### 5/5 — Loved it *2023-07-25, version 1.4* Great game ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2021-05-19, version 1.4* Its fun, engaging, and some great puzzles. Great game! ### 5/5 — Well made and visually and sonically pleasing *2021-01-21* I liked this game. I felt the developers deserved my paying for the full version and so there were hints if I needed them which was only occasionally to think what to do next because there are a lot of scenes. It's a kind of story. Nice sound effects. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-10-23* I absolutely love your games I never ever pay for games for the most part. Actually I’ve never paid for a game until I got this one and I thought why not. Thanks for all your hard work in putting this game together I really enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — Cool time killer *2020-09-12, version 1.4* Atmosphere in this app is great! Picture looks realistic, the quality of this game is really good. I like spending hours in this game, great time waster! ### 5/5 — My kind of game *2020-09-10* Beautiful graphics, interesting puzzles, a map and no trouble, friendly hints if needed. I like these sorts of adventure games where you wander around solving puzzles to get needed objects. Varied scenery. I appreciated it! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2020-09-08* This is very interesting game for those people who adore adventures and puzzle games. This game has very nice and comfortable interface. If I feel bored I always open this game and feel myself real adventure. This game is very amazing and enjoyable! ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2020-09-07, version 1.4* Lone Survivor is one of my favorite games. It's exciting, fun and quite hard to pass but not frustrating ### 5/5 — I like this game *2020-09-04* I have not come across such an intriguing and exciting game for a long time. You just wander around the unfamiliar territory and solve puzzles, but it’s so mysterious and enjoyable. Moving forward, you can see what you never expect to see there. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
