### 1/5 — Too many adds

*2026-01-23, version 1.5*

I hate this game I can not do much because there are so many adds and I think you guys should fix that

### 1/5 — Trash game.

*2025-07-28, version 1.5*

Same thing every single time unless you spend money. 
Not worth your time. How this game has 4.3 rating BLOWS MY MIND!!!

### 1/5 — Next level gatekeeping

*2024-12-20, version 1.5*

I had to pay 5 gems (watched 5 ads to get them) just to pay another 5 gems to use them. Make it make sense.

### 2/5 — About the game

*2024-09-26, version 1.5*

I’m not happy because I payed for things for the app like buy coins and gems and then it says soon you will be able to continue the story further but it needs to update for me to play the game why’s is that and do we know when I can get more stories on the game because it won’t let me finish the game and let him excape

### 3/5 — Game has glitches. Stuck in vent with the rat!

*2024-09-04, version 1.5*

Game glitched while in the vent with the rat. It won’t let you click on wait it out. And if you watch the ads and do other options you get caught. So at a stand still. Was good up to this point

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2024-07-04, version 1.5*

This "game" is garbage. First off, it's less of a game and more of a "choose your own adventure" story. Second, you MUST pay to play. There are literally no options for even getting past one day of playing without needing gems that you're forced to buy, or you can watch ten videos (literally). Completely trash from such a promising-looking game.

### 2/5 — Issues in warden office vent

*2024-04-16, version 1.5*

Was playing great until I got to the point where I am in the vent in the warden’s office listening to the conversation and then a rat is in the vent with me and when I select the option to wait it out it does nothing but bring me to the screen to buy more diamonds or to watch ads to get free diamonds please fix the issue so I can keep playing

### 1/5 — Anuncios

*2024-04-13*

Ves más anuncios de lo que juegas, a los 5 minutos me matan y te obligan a empezar nueva partida si no quieres gastar diamantes fantástico

### 1/5 — Trash, don’t download this…

*2024-04-05, version 1.5*

One of the worst apps to download so far…

### 1/5 — More ads than game!

*2024-03-16, version 1.4.1*

I understand that ads pay for the game and such but I played for 10 min. and 75% of that time was ads. It’s not worth even trying to get into it. If you take to long trying to decide what to do, it goes to an ad immediately after ya answer. Oh and the English is horrible, lol! Honestly, really difficult to enjoy this game.
