I’m giving it 4 stars because it was wonky trying to find the next item to progress with.. ### 5/5 — To tears *2026-04-19* Most beautiful story game. I’m 17 aswell, this hit me so hard - I’m so sorry, Edith ### 5/5 — literally amazing *2026-04-11, version 1.0.2* this was literally one of the best games i've ever played, it changed my whole perspective of family and how it can be ripped away from you at any moment. it helped me understand how i shouldn't take things for granted and its a really good game to play. i loved playing this and i hope someone else can enjoy it as much as i did! ### 5/5 — Please give this one a chance *2025-12-18, version 1.0.2* Very different from the usual games on the App Store. A bit difficult to get used to perhaps but do persevere and you’ll be rewarded with a unique experience. ### 4/5 — Fantastic game *2025-11-08, version 1.0.2* Had a great time playing this game and slowly exploring the families and the house. Each story is so uniquely different I had no clue what each of their fates would be! Only problem with the game was it crashed the app twice but afterwards was working perfectly fine! My first game of the sort on the iPad and I had thoroughly enjoyed it! ### 5/5 — I cried *2025-11-02, version 1.0.2* Yes, I did ### 3/5 — Very buggy on iOS 26 *2025-10-06, version 1.0.2* The game was virtually unplayable for me. It keep bugging out at different parts of the game. First time it froze at a random tree and refused to run at all after that. Second time after I finally managed to enter the house, it refused to launch after. Had to keep reinstalling the game but that’s only a temporary fix. Update: after reinstalling for the third time, I finally managed to complete the game. It is a beautiful game, and I appreciated the different and clever interactive mechanisms for some of the stories, but be warned that the first part of the game might be really buggy. ### 3/5 — Blocage du jeu *2025-10-04* Jeu qui avait l’air super, mais le jeu s’éteint quand je trouve le passage secret dans la salle de bain rose… une solution ? Car j’ai payé le jeu😔 Je mets 3 étoiles quand même car le jeu a l’air bien😭 ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-09-08, version 1.0.2* **PLEASE READ TW BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS** This game was MADE for people with ADHD. the attention to detail is something I’ve never seen before. I started playing this on my PC but the mobile app is way better for seeing details. The story was so addicting (finished this in 2 days). Sheds a small light on mental health. If you really want to appreciate and love this game do NOT leave a room without looking and all the cool things in there. This game difficulty level is low. There are somethings that are tough but there are a million context clues. ### 3/5 — Somebody save my pink bathroom! *2025-09-04, version 1.0.2* ok，I found that many people, like me, are trapped in the pink bathroom, and I still don't know how to solve this problem. . . . Games always kick me out! ! ! ! Please help me. ### 4/5 — Amazing game but stick it out at the beginning *2025-09-02, version 1.0.2* This was really a great game, I had heard so many great things about it that I was determined to stick it out. I will agree with the other person who left a review, that the controls are pretty frustrating to get to grips with, they made me feel like id had to write an entire essay with my left hand and that I was very uncoordinated but not to the point that the game was unplayable. I do recommend putting the touch alternative option on though, as I found it much easier to use the “WSAD” keys + trackpad, over the trackpad only option. All told though, a really beautiful game that I would definitely play again, and the only reason I subtracted a star, is because of the clunky controls and lack of tutorial in how and what to use. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-08-24, version 1.0.2* I had heard a lot of good things about the game and I like their other games such as the unfinished swan and donut county and I must say I was not dissatisfied ### 3/5 — Fun but with crashes *2025-08-21, version 1.0.2* Got to 5 stories of characters but it game force close four times past day. On iOS 18.6.1 with iPhone Pro Max with ps5 controller pair to it. Not updating game past 3 years don’t help and making game unreliable current state. Recommend game but not on here. ### 3/5 — . *2025-08-20, version 1.0.2* I love this game because I’ve watched a lot of gameplays, but as a lot of the other reviews say, it crashes as soon as you leave the pink bathroom ### 5/5 — wow *2025-08-19, version 1.0.2* i don’t want to write a great big long review but this is one of the best games i’ve ever played in my life. truely outstanding. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Non comprare per iPhone *2026-03-07, version 1.0.2* Il gioco è bellissimo ma è ingiocabile su iPhone , assolutamente non compratelo se non avete un supporto su cui giocarci ### 1/5 — So frustrating *2026-02-17, version 1.0.2* I’m not sure if this game was intended for iPhones, but I found myself continually frustrated with movement. After the snake scene on the boat was restarted three times, I was trapped and could not move. I wasted my $5. 😒 ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-02-14, version 1.0.2* I don’t want to leave a negative review but every time I step through the wall in the pink bathroom the game crashes and closes!!! So frustrating! ### 1/5 — Impossible *2026-01-24, version 1.0.2* It’s impossible to play. The controls are garbage. The hand icon, when it FINALLY appears barely responds. Cant tap or swipe or anything for minutes. Eventually it may respond but not always. Why would the controls be so terrible? The characters are hard to move. Like they just do not respond. If you can stand tapping or swiping or gliding your finger on the screen 700 just to move 4 inches and the repetitive imagery you are rewarded with animal violence and slaughtered screeching rabbits. Oh and there are no instructions or anything about moving around.What a waste of time and energy. But if you really enjoy seeing rabbits ripped apart with a creepy annoying child voice narrating then it’s worth it I guess. ### 1/5 — Do NOT get this game *2025-12-05, version 1.0.2* It doesn’t even open. What a complete scam. It opens for about 2 seconds before crashing. ### 1/5 — Refund *2025-07-07, version 1.0.2* Crashes at the pink bathroom no matter what. My device is compatible, i have enough storage, ive tried deleting and reinstalling it, restarting my ipad, and nothing fixes it. ### 1/5 — I’m disappointed *2025-06-09, version 1.0.2* I literally just bought this game and reached the pink bathroom when I entered the hidden place the game crashed and turned off ! I can’t complete the level, Either fix it or Gemma my money back so disappointed it seemed so exiting to play! ### 1/5 — After bought I couldn’t play? *2025-06-09, version 1.0.2* Whenever I enter the app it gives me a “The map specified on the commandline '/Game/Maps/ WorldEntry' could not be found. Exiting.” Message. I need to fix this issue or a refund ### 1/5 — No funciona *2025-04-26, version 1.0.2* Empieza bien pero llegado a cierto punto se cierra la aplicación siempre. Cuando vuelves a abrir el juego, se pone en el ultimo punto guardado y cuando vuelves a llegar a ese punto se vuelve a cerrar. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-12-11, version 1.0.2* I was so excited for this game for so long, I heard glowing reviews for years so when I saw it was on IOS I bought it immediately. I’m so disappointed by how it turned out. The storyline is great but the controls make the game not worth the effort for me. You are constantly fighting with the screen to just move around. A set joystick like they have in Among us would’ve made the game much more enjoyable. Ide recommend only getting this game on PC. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the game *2026-08-22, version 1.0.2* I really like the game. It’s really good story based and stuff adventure but the only problem was when I needed a little bit more storage. I offloaded it and like when I re-downloaded it for some reason, it would kick me out like four times until it would start again. And I did that for a couple of days or when I re-download it if I delete it, it does that and I really don’t like it. and I think it only works on iPhone for me. I have the iPhone 16 Pro. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-07-28, version 1.0.2* This game is very addicting and fun. This is my favorite game and I will be playing it again it is very interesting. I hope everyone else loves as much as I did this game is amazing ### 5/5 — Great story *2026-07-16, version 1.0.2* loved this game. not sure why it’s got such a low rating ### 5/5 — This game will forever be my favorite. *2026-07-10, version 1.0.2* From the very first moment it’ll have you hooked, I’ve played it several times and genuinely always cry. The detail and depth to which the story is told is so amazing. I definitely recommend this game to anyone and everyone, especially those who love detail and mystery, the death of Calvin will always be my favorite, though it’s quite short I feel it shows alot more than a kid on a swing. This games shows a bit of inside on mental health and I feel the curse they talk about is mainly about mental illness. This game opens your eyes to a lot more than their family tree, it makes you think about yours, about what generational curses have been passed down to you, what habits and behaviors will you pass down to them, it definitely tugs on your heart if you’ve had a traumatic childhood, or are living in one now. I love this game, and would love a follow up story or sequence to tell about Edith’s son. To the developers, thank you for sharing this game with the world, it’s done more than you know.❤️ ### 5/5 — 굿 *2026-07-04* 중학교때 플스로 하다가 성인이 된 지금 생각나서 다시 하게 되었다. 어렸을 때는 잘 이해가 안갔는데 지금 해보니까 비극적이고 안타까운 감정이 든다. 재미있음!! ### 5/5 — There’s a lot I want to say… *2026-06-05, version 1.0.2* I bought this game a week ago and GOOD GRACIOUS it was a great experience. Not the story part. What I mean is the storyline switches so perfectly and the plot of the game is both imaginative and realistic. It showed so many realities that were and are happening in this day’s society, specially towards family. The concept and design is beyond my expectation. I tried the game because I was intrigued by a lot of recommendations of how good is the story. It woah I definitely love it! It made me agree in many things and made me question a lot of things. I was trucked with endless queries which possibilities directly interlocked the family altogether. For a game this rapidly continues, it was both slow and fast. The timing is very consistent. I GOT SAD SO MUCH ARGHHH! Thank you for this! ### 5/5 — So good *2026-05-19, version 1.0.2* I came onto the game thinking that it wasn’t gonna be the same as the computer game I watched from special Edd but it was the same ! It was like a fever dream like a game only you could think of playing not it actually being a thing !!! I loved it it was so good so if you love books or video games or anything else because even Richard Ayoade could play this !!!!!! Love and obsessed buy it I promise you won’t regret it !😝🤭😄😉 ### 5/5 — Easy gameplay, but excellent story *2026-05-02, version 1.0.2* Just finished, I know it’s almost 10 years old at this point, but just great story telling that really sucks you in and keeps you there for a few hours! ### 5/5 — This Game… *2026-04-24, version 1.0.2* This is one of the best $5 dollar purchases I have ever made. The story is breathtakingly immersive, and I felt like I was there the entire time. The diversity of the stories was also incredible and very fun and amazing. I loved the soundtrack. Also, the mobile controls didn’t seem to affect the gameplay at all negatively. This game really benefits from its port. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-20, version 1.0.2* This game is a huge favorite of mine so I’m glad I got to play it myself. It makes me have this feeling of both profound sadness and understanding, and the want to be known that I cannot explain. As a whole this game holds a special place in my heart. While the game did make a beeping noise when clicking (w,a,s,d), after I connected my xbox controller, it didn’t do that anymore. I can say though that it made it hard and annoying to play. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
