### 5/5 — Nice game

*2025-07-12*

Solid game. The puzzles were at a good difficulty, to where I didn’t need any hints but it was satisfying when I solved them. The notes system with the book was really good too. The tone was ominous/spooky, but once I figured out the vibe and how things worked it wasn’t scary (coming from a total chicken).

### 2/5 — ?

*2022-12-17, version 1.4*

You need to explain the step’s better very confusing game and also there should be an option to watch ads for hints instead of having to pay

### 1/5 — Glitchy game

*2022-11-17, version 1.4*

Can’t get past the electric fence. Put in 2705 for the first half of the code, and it won’t take any other number. No hints, and the puzzles are nearly impossible without some kind of hint. The “notes” aren’t legible, and are nonsensical. This was the strangest attempt at a game.

### 5/5 — Great escape puzzle adventure

*2022-07-07*

I do not understand the negative reviews for this game. The puzzles were challenging but still intuitive.  The game makes notes for you so there is no need for a pen and paper. There is a bit and back and forth but most locations branch off from one main locale. 
I live for escape games and this one (and the others from this developer) are a welcome diversion.  The graphics are fine, no lag, and the length is much longer than many games ( a few hours of good solid distraction).
I truly feel that this game lines up right with this developers other releases, maybe a bit better even.  
Please keep them coming.
Note to the developer: thank you for offering a free option/trial. I love to try a game first to see if I like the game.  Due to the free trials that you offered, I have fully purchased every game that you have offered, even though I could have gotten by with the free version.

### 1/5 — I'm disappointed without Chinese

*2022-05-11, version 1.4*

Before, his game supported Chinese. I had a good time. However, there is no Chinese in the recent models. I am very disappointed. I hope that the next update game can support Chinese - whether trial version or official version

### 2/5 — A bit disappointing and boring.

*2022-03-11*

You know something is amiss, when you approach the motel door at the beginning, and to enter you need to press 4 buttons in sequence, but there’s nothing beforehand that you have to work out, to find out how to do so. So to enter, you either fork out the $4.99 for unlimited hints, or watch a 30 second ad. Not a great way to bring a person into the game. That’s the main problem of this game, random mini-games thrown at you, with no rhyme or reason on how to accomplish them. Walking through many endless hallways with little to no eye-candy, leads to quite a bit of boredom. With that said, the graphics are good, but not as spectacular as some Developer’s games in the genre. The mid point of this game (35 out of 72 total screens), which is a rather small game, the message comes up, pay $4.99 or the game ends. I ended it. If the game had been more enthralling, I would have had no problem paying, but this turned out to be a bit of a waste.

### 5/5 — Liked it

*2021-08-04, version 1.4*

Good game. Not overloaded with jumping between scenes and puzzles make sense. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Need an interactive map!

*2021-07-09*

I love these games, but navigation is too stressful..even when you buy the game and get hints as to where to go next,  it’s a pain to get to the location.  I just dont get it why you can’t click on the scene where you need to go and get there.  Ruins this very clever puzzle adventure game 😒

### 2/5 — Unhappy

*2021-06-27, version 1.4*

I wasn’t happy with this game because I couldn’t understand from the note in a book. I really want click for hint but it show to be pay. I don’t understand this game very clearly. It seem very confusing game. Yes it’s fun.

### 5/5 — mystery motel

*2021-02-08, version 1.4*

This game rocks really
