### 3/5 — 389mg

*2016-01-05, version 1.0.2*

À 389 mg ça ne me dérange pas d'avoir un peu moins d'effets spéciaux. L'histoire se tient sans être captivante ni originale. Coté son, une des musique en boucle coupe sec dans toutes les SOC. Coté manipulation il faut souvent taper plusieurs fois sur un objet et reculer est difficile.

### 3/5 — Slow but interesting

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

Friends & Followers,
Nice plot development. Well drawn out/detailed background scenery.  Long playing time with moral at end of story.

Tale very old school in its development, along with being too slow in development.  No map provided for navigation, which is something that one requires due to the fact that there is way too much back & forth between scenes.  Voice synchronization is poor, but tolerable.  Hidden Object & Mini Games quite easy, along with appearing as if they were produced by a company that has not had much experience in program design & presentation-Almost like stepping back in time to the beginning presentation of Hidden Object/Mini Games...

All in all, this game is enjoyable for most part, but with all aforementioned quirks in production & presentation, it is really not worth purchasing if one is a serious Hidden Object game player-Potential purchasers be advised.

Thank you for your continued support & Following.  Happy New Year.

### 1/5 — It just doesn’t work

*2020-06-12, version 1.0.2*

It won’t even open. From the reviews I’m not the only one having this issue.  Why are you still selling this?

How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Can’t open!

*2020-06-02, version 1.0.2*

Bought this but won’t even load on my iPhone. Crashes every time I try and open...

### 1/5 — Really wanted to play this game. Won’t open.

*2020-05-24, version 1.0.2*

I reset my iPhone and still won’t open. I’d like a refund please.

### 1/5 — Can’t open, cancel this purchase

*2020-05-24, version 1.0.2*

Cancel this purchase

### 1/5 — Can’t even load

*2020-05-22, version 1.0.2*

I read reviews that it keeps crashing, well I can’t even get the game to open. What a farce.

### 1/5 — Was a good game...

*2016-01-11, version 1.0.2*

Until towards the very end I couldn't get back into the game one day. Opened to the first screen which went to that annoying tea cup screen & bounced me out... Tried all the tricks to try & fix on my IPhone 5S...nothing worked!!! I'm getting my money back!

### 2/5 — Meh 🙄

*2015-12-18, version 1.0.2*

Sorry to say that I wasn't very fond of this one. The game/graphics were a little dated, and there wasn't much by way of extras or collectibles. The voice acting really put me off too...particularly the mother, who seemed just a little too 'perky' & 'upbeat' considering she was searching for her 'beloved little boy' who had been kidnapped. All in all, Tideville fell a little flat for my tastes, so it's safe to say that I won't be looking for the sequel anytime soon.

### 3/5 — Only if you love HOS

*2018-01-07*

Game a little glitchy and crashed a few times. Way too many hidden object scenes, but at least alternate game there.

### 5/5 — Really good

*2016-04-14, version 1.0.2*

There were lots of innovative puzzles, not just the same old......
Liked having to find all the pieces and figure out where they went. Guide Very helpful😄

### 5/5 — Great game, well worth the money

*2016-02-22, version 1.0.2*

But please please could we have a map, although there was so much to do in every room maybe a map isn't needed.
But it did become a little tedious travelling backwards and forwards ...but still a very full game and I loved it. Thank you & Please keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Thanks Again BF Games

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

This is certainly another
winner game. And as always comes at a great value! -hawgpin-

### 5/5 — Fab!!!!

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

Fantastic game. Really enjoyed this one so much :)

### 4/5 — Fun to play

*2020-05-17, version 1.0.2*

A map would have made this a bit easier but great puzzles nonetheless

### 4/5 — Good old fashioned game

*2016-01-20, version 1.0.2*

This game was developed in 2012 by GrandMA Studios, and was probably just recently adapted for iPhone. The game shows its age. There are no collectibles, no achievements, no morphing objects, there isn't even a map. But the graphics are stunning, with a nice clean interface. It reminded me of how relaxed the games used to be when I didn't have to worry about achievements (although I do love achievements too, I just get a little compulsive).   

I really hope GrandMA studios put out the rest of the games in the "Whispered Secrets" series for iPhone. I'm sure they get better with each game.

### 4/5 — Good game!

*2016-01-17, version 1.0.2*

This is a good game, long enough, without becoming boring. Good graphics & reasonably challenging puzzles. A major improvement would be the addition of a map so you could see where you had tasks & could travel there quickly. Having to backtrack through the game was tedious & the reason I couldn't give 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Good game with nice story.

*2016-01-07, version 1.0.2*

There was a lot of back and forth between scenes and rooms. I like that. It went at a good steady pace. Worth playing.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2016-01-05, version 1.0.2*

Good graphics, well thought out story and relevant( to the story) games.
