You must find your aunt exploring her abandoned house and solving riddles, reading journal entries. I'm still under impression ### 5/5 — Cool !! *2019-05-16, version 1.0* My friend of mine introduced me to this app, and I'm so glad she did.It figures out the best route every time I have used it so far in the past three week. I recommend to use everyone.Thank you for developers. ### 5/5 — It’s a big game *2019-05-14, version 1.0* Wow This game is just awesome. And I'm not talking about the physical size (by the way, thanks to Apple for not allowing you to download more than 150 MB without wi-fi in 2019). There are so many mysteries that the game justifies its price several times. Levels are difficult, but if you get stuck, you can always skip the task. But I would not advise doing this. Try to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this location and go through the game slowly. ### 5/5 — Fascinating *2019-05-13* It's a challenging game but so much worth the money I've spent on buying it. Lots of puzzles and riddles and it's so satisfying when you pass another level. Can't stop playing it. ### 5/5 — Cool game *2019-05-13* Mysterious game with multiple levels of challenge to both entertain and take deeper into the puzzles getting harder by steps. After the row of hidden secrets, which are not being uncovered easily by the way, new mysteries need a break. It’s continuously intriguing. ### 5/5 — The further you go through this game, the more interesting it becomes *2019-05-12* I really don’t understand why there’s a button skip the puzzle, because all the tasks are so exciting. I have been playing it for three days and still have not finished it. Although I wish it would never end. ### 5/5 — Loving it *2019-05-12* I've been playing this a whole evening yesterday. Gameplay is very exciting and addicting. I'll be playing until completed ### 5/5 — Awesome adventure game *2019-05-11* I have been dreaming about something like this since I played another game by this developer, where the events take place in a haunted house. For just $4.99 you get an amazing mystical game full of secrets and mysteries. I am a fan of adventure games and can say that this is one of the best, although some puzzles are really challenging. ### 5/5 — Great mystery game! *2019-05-10* Really cool and atmospheric application! I love the great quality of picture, scenes looks really beautiful in this game. All this looks amazing with great soundtrack. If you like to explore secrets and myths, this app is for you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Ok for a quick game *2020-11-05* I brought the bundle , ok if you want a quick game to play but it doesn’t take long to complete the games. I only brought this bundle last night and I’m already 3/6 complete. ### 3/5 — Ok but not great.... *2019-08-05* I've played several games from this company... My top favorites are Long Journey and Haunted Hollow 2. The atmosphere of the above mentioned, made them worth every bit of money/time spent with them. This game is more like a mix between the "magic school bus" and "homescapes"... I mean I don't want to offend anyone but yes, that's the feeling. There was a part I found quite irritating... The leaves. Yes... Those you have to use the rake on? The wrench is visible, but you can't point at it... no game comment. The pile of leaves - pointing at them would take me to the previous scene. Yet when I was "stuck" I was told to rake "the piles of leaves" with the rake. I thought "the piles of leaves that take me to the previous scene when I press on them?"... Yes, but... The wrench is not even necessary to finish the game... Way to go, it's an "Easter Egg"... If you guys meant it as an Easter Egg, you shouldn't give it away as a clue. Really. I found strange things like that in most of the games that didn't seem to have an explanation... But whatever... If the clue wasn't given by the hint system, I would've finished the game with an extra rake in my inventory (and I would've looked for a use for it myself thank you)! Now time to find what that wrench is for 🤔 ### 3/5 — The End Clock Setting??? *2019-06-01* Not sure I agree with the logic behind clock puzzle at the end. Other than that this game was fun. Some suggestions... Going forward, how about not automatically adding the clues into the book? I mean, what’s the point of a clue if you tell the user it’s a clue? Should be more subtle. Look at Facility 47. When comparing this game to others like the Glitch Games’ escape games, it seems very one-dimensional. There isn’t much layering of clues and puzzles. Anyway- keep making them, I will still play! ### 4/5 — Clue problems *2025-07-11* These games have one problem with their clues, threaded out the whole series. The clue they give you is usually to tell you to do something. They assume you’ve already found not knowing if you’ve actually found it. ### 4/5 — Nice puzzle game *2019-05-23* This game is pretty attractive and i guess i spend too much time playing it! :) This is interesting to solve riddles, mysteries and puzzles, it gives! It have it’s own style, i think it makes this game unique and different from tons of other puzzle game. To my opinion, gameplay is really good, and quests, which given, sometimes very challenging, that’s why, i guess, I will never get bored from spending couple of hours playing this game! ### 4/5 — Exciting game *2019-05-21, version 1.0* This is very interesting adventure game that involves solving various puzzles and misterious secrets. I enjoy playing such games because at the same time this is good training for my brains. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2019-05-18* I've played this game almost two weeks so it is time to write the review. Firstly this is the game for those who likes to solve quizzes. Tasks are really interesting. Secondly. sometimes the game is freezing. I hope developers will solve this problem later. Also I want to mention really nice locations. The game takes you deep in it's atmosphere. ### 4/5 — Mystery Game *2019-05-14* Solving the mystery is always very exciting for me and this game with various puzzles is very interesting! Thanks to its breathtaking graphics, I can dive into the gameplay and try various mini-games where picking up clues, solving puzzles and riddles will help me to find journal entries! But I would surely add more levels in order to make it longer! ### 4/5 — Intriguing *2019-05-14, version 1.0* Very nice game to play, full of mysteries and puzzles to solve. Such a mystical atmosphere and music, good graphics. Can’t stop playing, it’s so gripping. ### 4/5 — Good *2019-05-10, version 1.0* It’s a very interesting game. It has a lot of interesting locations. It has colorful interface and interesting music. It helps me to relax after long working day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Im not a puzzle genius and this is perfect *2023-04-15* Hard enough to make me think and work out things but not so hard that I have to constantly get hints. All of the Midnight games are really good, well made and fun. Because I get to actually play. I like the hints system because I get lost as to where to go next. The hints telling you to go to a scene are just right for helping me know there’s something can do there. Then, I solve the actual puzzle myself. ### 5/5 — Best game *2019-05-25, version 1.0* It is the best game I know with adventure and discovers. It has a lot of locations and cool gameplay ### 5/5 — I loved it *2019-05-24* I don’t regret of purchasing this game. It brought me tons of fun without being too complicated. Thank you developers for making this ### 5/5 — Mystery *2019-05-22* The significant amount of puzzles, mini-games, and locations persuade me that I have been right to choose this very game and buy the full version! I like that compared to other similar games, this one is pretty long and very exciting. Music is very relaxing but the plot is breathtaking at the same time. I have found that it is even possible to get some clues, but I like to find the clue on my own because I see it as the reason to play it. ### 5/5 — Impressive game *2019-05-21* The more you play more absorbing it is getting. Love the way it looks. Already recommended it to all of my friends and we play together. ### 5/5 — I recommend it *2019-05-20* Adventure games are my favorite so I couldn't miss this one. It has really cool design and tons of amazing tasks and puzzles. Playing is enjoyable ### 5/5 — Amazing puzzle and time killer *2019-05-20, version 1.0* An exciting and truly addictive storyline combined with charming soundtrack and mysterious atmosphere! I bought the full version of this game after playing the free one and never got disappointed. It's a good way to kill time. ### 5/5 — love it *2019-05-20* It has a lot of different tasks and sometimes they are really difficult but I still love this game. The music is nice and it`s completely worthy of money. ### 5/5 — Amaing *2019-05-19* I really don't regret the money because i like mysterious stories so much and this game has a puzzle part which is kind of detective. I badly recommend the game ### 5/5 — My favorite one! *2019-05-18* I love to spend my evenings playing this brilliant game. Challenges and puzzles are great, and together with such a stunning graphics make the game absolutely amazing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
