The opening scene never played completely, just kept stuttering on the first word. ### 2/5 — Weird glitches *2024-08-09* I waited to trial this game before I considered purchasing. The game itself is okay, not great. The graphics glitch terribly though. While talking to NPCs, their head was coming out of one of their shoulders. I thought it was a one off glitch, but it happened every single time I talked to the character that’s “my friend” in the game the princess lady. Both of them had green pixels over parts of their bodies and their head coming out of their shoulders. It’s freaky. Definitely not buying the full game. ### 2/5 — TSO8 *2024-01-15, version 2.2.0* When I had my Android I had over 100 games yet now that I have an Apple phone it seems that I’m buying all these games over again you would think that if I’m using the same credit card as well as my email address it would automatically upload but it doesn’t which is disappointing for the person who has changed to a new phone since the games that were purchased are still under the same email address and the same credit card it’s kind of seems like a rip-off. also, can you please tell me why my characters heads aren’t attached to their bodies This is a wasted seven dollars. I don’t even wanna play this game. I’ve already played it in the past.. ### 3/5 — Pretty but buggy *2023-11-21* There’s no music in the cut scenes and the graphics are jerky and sometimes aren’t rendering properly. But that’s just in the cut scenes. The game itself seems to be functioning properly, and the colors are still vivid and settings still inventive, which is what I enjoy most about artifex mundi games. I can’t give it five stars, but I’m happy to give it three. ### 2/5 — TSO8 *2023-11-15* Glitchy. Really glitchy ### 2/5 — GRAFIKFEHLER *2023-08-29* SPIEL ist wie immer aber Fehler in der Grafik nerven ### 4/5 — Fun game but riddled with graphic and sound bugs on iPad *2023-05-15* Great story telling and puzzles, but all the character intereactions and cut scenes were riddled with sound and graphic bugs (iPad), which detracted from the experience ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2023-03-19* The graphics are weak with disconnected heads when characters are talking. Very strange. I am sorry I paid for it. ### 1/5 — Doppelt kaufen? *2022-11-17* Das Spiel wurde von mir gekauft. Betrag wurde auch abgebucht, aber jetzt kann ich es nicht mehr aufrufen obwohl ich das Spiel schon angefangen hatte. Das darf nicht sein. Was kann ich tun? ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-09-12, version 2.2.0* I had this game on my Mac and loved it. Now I downloaded for my iPad and many of the scenes are pixelated . Very much disappointed. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2022-09-04, version 2.2.0* The cutscenes animation is very problematic. The heads float over the body and the scale is all wrong, plus there are portions of a green glitchy screen in the cutscenes. ### 3/5 — Not a bad game, interesting story, but pixelated on speaking *2022-08-22* When each character speaks, the actual picture of their face shrinks and an ugly green pixelated box. I just skipped through the dialogues, but this should be fixed. Running iPad Pro (2nd gen) 15.6 version ### 3/5 — bugが怖いなんだけど *2022-07-16* イラストがおかしい、みんな首が外れてる ### 1/5 — Rageant *2022-04-08* Affiché comme compatible avec iOS 9 sur l iPad,le jeu plante toutes les dix secondes, et voilà 7€ fichu en l air...Et sans possibilité de remboursement. D habitude je suis fan d attifée lundi mais là du coup beaucoup moins.... ### 4/5 — Great game with weird but playable graphic glitch *2022-02-14* The game play is great, good story , interesting puzzles, decent length. Everything mostly ran smooth but as a few others have mentioned the characters heads are very strangely disconnected from their bodies! It’s only during the cut scenes so I managed to play through it but it is very distracting and odd. Without that problem it’s a 5 star game for sure! ### 3/5 — glitchy *2022-02-05* great game. so beautiful and fun but glitchy. ### 1/5 — Money *2022-01-04, version 2.2.0* 5 minutes of gameplay then, boom, you have to pay. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2021-12-24* Unfortunately the graphics are glitchy- beds aren’t attached to people. But the game is fun. Not worth $6.99, however. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-03-15* All the cut screens are distorted or won’t play and there’s green writing overlapping things your supposed to interact with. Very broken and you can’t play it. I wasted my money ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-10-01* Graphic’s are breaking up. ### 1/5 — Still has issues *2024-03-12* Bought this as I’ve enjoyed the other games in this series. The music when the app is opening doesn’t even play so you miss out on the initial story. The hint button stops working at some point in the beginning and the heads on the characters when they talk is off their shoulders. Still bugs to fix. Might try to play it through but mad I spent the money on it already for it to have so many glitch issues. ### 1/5 — Patrick *2024-03-02* Lots of visual and audio glitches. I’m playing on a new iPhone with the latest iOS. Dialogue not playing or looping during cutscenes, subtitles getting stuck on screen, weird static rectangles over some animated visual elements, and in one cutscene the characters heads were floating above their necks. And this was all in the first five minutes. Good thing you can try before you buy. If I had spent money on this I would have demanded a refund. ### 1/5 — Replay disaster *2024-01-11, version 2.2.0* I bought this game a few years ago and decided to pre-play it. it starts out and the heads are disconnected from the bodies and other things are pixelated ### 1/5 — なんか変? *2023-11-03* 以前やった記憶がありますがこんなバグ有った？かなあー？ ボーナスまでおかしいと課金出来ないよ ### 1/5 — Has problems *2023-09-02, version 2.2.0* Hey glitches the NPC‘s that you talk to the head and even attached and the sound doesn’t work all the time ### 1/5 — The secret order *2023-02-03, version 2.2.0* Did not enjoy ### 1/5 — Glitch in game, no customer support *2022-12-01* Glitch in game that makes it impossible to see anything, contacted customer support but no response. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2022-11-26, version 2.2.0* Too simple and very glitchy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Big fish *2023-05-29, version 2.2.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Ordre 8 *2021-06-13* En espérant que ce ne soit pas une démo comme beaucoup d’autres jeux identiques et que je doive acheter la suite,ce qui ne sera pas le cas ### 5/5 — This game is a lot of fun and the graphics are adorable.. *2020-08-31* I’m really enjoying this game..it’s got a good story and a colorful scenery through out the game with fun mini games.. well worth the cost of it! ### 5/5 — Big fish *2020-05-07, version 1.0.4* I love it ### 5/5 — Louise *2020-04-05* When I first started playing the game it would keep cutting off but now that I’ve reloaded it it’s started to work fine now. ### 5/5 — 4FriendsGames Update *2020-02-11, version 1.0.2* To pamikins4561: 2/11/20: 4FriendsGames is working on delivering a new Immortal Love to the AppStore. They are hoping it will release in the next 2-3 weeks, but they can’t be sure. For all other information on releases I usually find the latest game and read the review from LynxMinx- she knows what’s coming up next and always lets us know. For my update, I contacted the developer directly. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2020-02-01* I did enjoy the game but I do have a comment for the developers, the banners for achievements often cover up information at the top of the screen and then I missed a few of then ### 5/5 — Schade das es das letzte Spiel aus der Serie sein soll *2020-01-30* Hoffentlich wird der Nachfolger ebenso gut. Auch hier sind wieder Such- und Chamäleonobjekte vorhanden. Der Schauplatzwechsel geht schnell Dank der vorhanden Karte. Bei einigen WBS kann man auf Memory ausweichen. Für einige Aufgaben muss das Gehirn benutzt werden, aber alle Aufgaben sind lösbar. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — YESSS!!! *2020-01-30* Loved it. Was longer than I expected...most of these games have been getting so short. Gorgeous scenes to explore, morphing objects and puzzle pieces in every scene add a layer of complexity to the game that I love. Really loved the spooky zombie-like skeletons! Been anxiously waiting over a month for this game to become available on my IPad and it did not disappoint. ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2023-08-29* Needs work, cut scenes very glitchy and no sound, I love this series but I’m going to wait to buy for the issues to be sorted --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
