Comment les créateurs de Bad North ont-ils pu pondre une daube pareille ? C’est neuneu de chez neuneu. Hop ! Poubelle…

Sieht sehr interessant aus, stürzt aber leider jedesmal ab

Vielleicht ein Einzelfall, aber ich komme nicht einmal über die erste Szene hinaus. Für mich leider nicht spielbar. Nach mehreren Anläufen habe ich es aufgegeben.

Frequent crashing on iPad

This game is barely compatible with iOS 18. I've played it on my PC and loved it, but I may have to give up on this iPad port because I'm lucky to make it ten minutes without a crash

Constant crashing on iPad Pro

I think I would really like this game if it did not crash every 5 to 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I will not make it past day one as I do not have the patience for the constant crashing.

Graphismes un peu vieillots, mais

Jeu d’enquête intéressant pour amateurs du genre. Mais, le jeu plante souvent (iPad). Il plante et n’enregistre pas forcément les dernières actions. Un peu dommage.
