But I'm just ecstatic that at least one dev out there is still making "lite" versions of their games so we can try em out. It smacks of confidence in their product. This is the way to keep premium gaming alive!! ### 4/5 — Чёрный экран *2016-10-03* После разговора с охранником в камере чёрный экран в самом начале игры,перезапускаю,игра начинается с самого начала и до этой беседы.Пока не буду покупать её.ipad air2. ### 4/5 — Tormented Journey😮 *2016-09-15, version 1.3.2* Beautiful game/graphics and very fun!! The story is interesting, no ads, flows well, challenge is to find items &/ clues to solve problems, but clicking on the wooden boards on a wall was too easy; needs a hammer and also other different tools for throughout game. Is Tormentum even a word? ### 4/5 — Incredible game *2016-08-03, version 1.3.2* Although I haven't gone too much into the storyline, the game itself is so smooth and graphically appealing for a mobile game. Interesting concept ### 5/5 — Well made *2016-07-29, version 1.3.2* I don't play games often but I'm pretty impressed by the graphics from the get go. I've only played for a few min and I'm hooked. Looking forward to diving deeper! ### 5/5 — Cool game, dark story *2016-07-28, version 1.3.2* Nice game, love the graphics, main character and dark storyline. Nice flow and interface, fun to play! ### 5/5 — What a GAME! *2016-07-28, version 1.3.2* Awesome artwork! Interesting puzzles! Outstanding! ### 5/5 — Good Storie Mini Tutorial *2016-07-28, version 1.3.2* This is a good mini advertising for the main game also helps you understand how to play. For a drag and drop I'm glad this allows players to test the game mechanics. I would have been lost otherwise. ### 5/5 — )) *2016-07-28* Прикольная,затягивает) ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2016-07-26, version 1.3.2* This one took me in from the beginning. Great artwork, sound and story. A great change from the common games nowadays. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Enganação *2017-03-13* Esta versão lite não passa de uma amostra ridiculamente minúscula do jogo pago. Após jogar 3 cenas, aparece a mensagem: "Para continuar sua aventura, precisará da versão completa do jogo". Na descrição do app não há nenhuma menção de que o jogo não continua se não baixar a versão paga. ### 1/5 — Do you READ the comments? *2016-12-25, version 1.3.2* Downloaded game. Got STUCK at the 'brother who is a door' when I solved the puzzle the DOOR TO THE KITCHEN WOULDN'T OPEN!!!! I did everything. Even sought answers on a blog. Nada! Very disappointed. ### 3/5 — Very grateful for free trial... *2021-08-11, version 1.5.2* ...which earned an extra rating star by preventing a huge mistake. I was shopping for a particular type of product & ready to pay for the right one. Based on its description; glowing reviews; gorgeous art; & apparent gameplay mechanics from the preview images, this game might have convinced me to take a chance on just buying without trying. Had that happened, I would have been absolutely furious rather than just annoyed; writing to Apple for a refund instead of a review. Whether playing the lite or full version, it only takes 5 minutes to see the problems. First, and for me by far the most important: this is NOT a point and click adventure game in any genuine sense of the term. It barely even resembles one, yet those precise words are used (it seems quite intentionally) in description & reviews. This game has much more in common with an idle hidden object game, interspersed with a rigidly fixed linear series of logic puzzles. These puzzles are somehow both simplistic and overly demanding. They have no coherent reason for being, no connection to what passes for the plot or each other, no elegance or meaning whatsoever. They rarely even offer a discernible internal mechanical narrative by which their solution can be reasoned out. Instead, most are best solved by brute force trial & error. As such, they comprise little more than repeated grinding halts to the game flow which neither add to nor reveal any story or clue. Just “here’s some levers for no reason, flip them up and down until something happens,” then proceed to the next nonsensical hurdle. While slogging through the tedious puzzles in hopes of discovering something, anything like the promised story/adventure, there’s really nice music. The visual art is quite proficient technically as well. Of course, both are merely competent depictions of styles already explored throughly by their original creators (e.g. HR Geiger). Yet even in that respect, the description is highly misleading. It’s particularly offensive that they’d compare this lazy, entirely derivative mess to a classic like Darkseed. That game is around 30 yrs old now, and suffered numerous bugs even when new. Yet that’s because it pushed boundaries, took risks, and was simply too ambitious for its time. This thing is the exact opposite. It does only what others have long ago mastered; the bare minimum even of that. Everything from moving around to the pointless inventory system is severely limited to the point that the only real input from the player is whether to keep moving forward along the single available track. If they’d been straightforward about the game’s nature, I’d say fine, it is what it is. But instead they go out of their way to portray it as a “point & click adventure” (false), buy &/or write themselves absurdly fanciful reviews that are clearly coming from the same script, if not the same author, and pick screenshots that suggest a far more open, explorable, PnC adventure type world/game/story than they’ve actually produced. Yet disappointing as the game is in pretty much every way, I still give it 3 stars. One is minimum, one for the music/art; one for the free trial, which almost makes up for all the misrepresentation. ### 3/5 — No logical hints *2019-01-16, version 1.5.2* ** LOWERED MY REVIEW AFTER SEEING duplicate 5-star reviews from the same people, and I also noticed that the wording of many reviews is repeated ** The graphics are amazingly awesome. I played the Lite version on my iPad. I still don’t know how I was able to get through two of the puzzles, except that I kept guessing until I got it right. The winged lady, for example, was trial and error (positioning of the mirrors and wings). There should be some degree of logic involved. Hints that are given are not that helpful at all. I would have loved paying to finish this game, but for these reasons, I will not. ### 4/5 — Прикольная но *2026-05-28* Не во весь экран, афон15 ### 4/5 — Have to pay *2019-06-23, version 1.5.2* I was really enjoying this game, slight challenge to it but not enough to block progress. Great graphics, can’t comment on sound as I always turn it off as I am not alone when I play. The really big problem I have with this game o Is that you get through the first door then you get a notice that you have to buy full game to progress. Why don’t they call these samples? In any other industry you would have to say this was an introductory offer. ### 4/5 — Amazed but sad *2019-04-05* This game is a piece of art. Beautifully illustrated with deep meanings . I have only played the Lite . Wish it was free ### 4/5 — Very interesting *2019-02-22, version 1.5.2* Looks like I will be buying the full version...loos like a great game from the demo ### 4/5 — Cool demo *2017-09-22, version 1.3.2* Good graphics, puzzles not too hard. Enjoyed. Still no horror. Nice game. ### 4/5 — Custo beneficio *2017-03-26* O mundo do jogo é bem interessante, mas acho que está supervalorizado. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent worth the price *2021-03-10* Loved it, great length and story. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-02-23, version 1.5.2* Absolutely brilliant, loved every minute, to the previous reviewer of course you have to pay for the full game geez stop being tight, nothing comes for free! I wish people would appreciate the hard work it takes to develop a good game then perhaps there would be more of this quality out there but unfortunately most ppl just don’t deserve the developers hard work. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-07-30, version 1.5.2* This game is really amazing, great graphics and music. Good and challenging puzzles. Worth the value. Don’t hesitate to get this game you won’t be sorry, only if u don’t ### 5/5 — Hello this game is so awesome and fun *2019-05-31, version 1.5.2* Challenging and interesting game ### 5/5 — Good game *2019-03-30, version 1.5.2* Enjoyed the trial game found it relatively easy...which makes a nice change ....😊 ### 5/5 — Tormentum-Dark Sorrow *2018-06-29, version 1.5.2* I’ve been playing the free part just because I know once I play the full version it will come to an end and I’m not ready for that yet. Sounds strange I know. But if the rest of the game is as good as the beginning I know I won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2018-01-24* Ssssssssuper! And SUPER Thanks!👏 ### 5/5 — Интр *2017-11-04* Интересная игра ### 5/5 — Fun but really short *2017-04-12, version 1.3.2* Appreciate the free tryout, though. And a good bit of challenge even for a little demo. Looks to be a superb game. ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2017-03-09* Игра понравилась, но полная версия стоит 380 рублей, эх --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
