Level problem

Can’t complete the house on the water where you get on the roof and look down in the room with the vases with the yellow line around the door it doesn’t let you zoom out enough or the perspective on mobile is not correct I have this game on Xbox and have completed this very easy before , little upset that I can’t finish the game because of it paid 10$

满分游戏,但iOS版略有不足

这是我非常喜欢的游戏,但是我希望能够支持高帧率画面,支持跨设备云存档,和支持fov调节

Control

Amazing game that I wanted to revisit (on iphone this time). The sloppy point and click control system for walking through the world is absolutely intolerable and makes what is such a peaceful and relaxing game a totally infuriating experience. Seek this game out on a computer but avoid playing on your phone at all costs. Horrible, horrible, horrible. 13$ wasted.

For real puzzle fanatics

It’s my favorite puzzle game of all time. Revelation after revelation. The atmosphere is insane, I spent hours just wandering around the island.

The reason it’s only a 4 star on the App Store is because it’s not easy. And the masses despise games that don’t hold their hand and tell them how great and smart they are constantly. Get it, commit to being okay with being frustrated, look up a guide occasionally if you have to and follow the rabbit hole to the end, because it goes DEEP. Thank me later.
