perfect graphics, but no real plot. just wandering around 50+ rooms solving puzzles which are either ordinary or with no logic behind. just find the hint picture and combine items. may be good for those who likes puzzle boxes, but i want "adventure" with some story. otherwise it is a waste of time, like children's games "tap 30 times to launch aircraft" etc. thanks, but uninstalled.
I like the puzzles. They're great! I paid for the unlimited hints. Awesome. Except... I am stuck! The hint tells me to complete the 3-cog puzzle, but I only have 2. I reset and tried again using the hints, but still no luck. Nor can I find the code for the bathroom door. I can't move on from here. And there is no support link in the game either. ARRGGHH!! One more try with a reset, and I'm uninstalling if it still doesn't work ☹
Wonderful and quite realistic graphics - some were even spooky!!! Storyline turned out to be surprising at the end. I had to watch a walkthrough for most of the "puzzles." But, I did really enjoy playing this game. Thank you for making it where you can "pick up where you left off."
Only gripe is that there is no description of the minigames, I had to skip several as I just couldn't figure out what I was required to do. Often "a hint is required", tried again after a while and I could skip. No idea what the missing hint was. The notes feature is nice!
Nice graphics. Interesting story. But i had to use on-line walk through for some puzzles. The ending explanation went too fast to read so i had to go to the on-line walk through and pause it to have enough time to read and comprehend. I wasn't thrilled with the ending.
This is a great point and click adventure game! It is challenging without being obnoxious with the puzzle difficulty. I love the "skip by watching a video" option! I'm looking forward to playing more games by this developer!
It's not the worst, but I found the controls clunky and annoying, with a lot of stabbing at random to try and go back to where you just were. Then one bit of dialogue says "must of" and I just can't do it anymore even for completeness.
Disappointed that, at the very end of the game I was not given enough time to read the whole explanation of what happened to the Aunt. It disappeared quickly and the credits started rolling. After the credits ended, the game reset itself so I was unable to go back and finish reading the end of the story.
It went fast. Played the whole thing in one afternoon. There is no directions and hints cost real money. There is a lot of guessing and you are lost if you miss anything. I did like the skip by watching a video ad.
Your games are gorgeous, I love it! The places are beautiful, the storyline keeps the player interested till the end. The puzzles are very good, but I think a little too hard, even with the hints in the diary. But I do thank you for letting me play this wonderful game.
Would've loved to play it, but you have to go everywhere to figure out what to do. Or if anything can be done at all. You end up with a full inventory. Plus, no strategy guide or hint system to nudge you in the right direction. The scenes are beautiful, though.
This game was enjoyable. I played it over one afternoon. Some of the puzzles were a bit difficult to work out so I referred to a walkthrough on YouTube for those but all in all I award it 4 stars.
I enjoyed it. A lot of parts to explore and a good backstory. I did need to cheat a bit at the end but the challenges were mostly easy. The diary/notebook is a good feature.
dont quite follow the story, did the girl travel to the past to become the aunt? other than that I like the game quite a lot, challenging puzzles but not too hard at all while having some beautiful graphics
Not really worth the price. I played this game inside of 1 hour. Seriously. I don't usually give bad reviews, but I think in this case it is required. This should be a free game. The puzzles are not challenging and the art/graphics are on par with something my grandson could draw. Be ashamed.
Awesomesauce, 😋😍😍loved the graphics and beutiful clues and puzzles but that doesn't mean you wont get stuck ...you can skip some puzzles through ads(😆)..Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all!!!!
very simple, took 2 hours or less while watching TV. the last clock puzzle is not correct, 556x2=1112, so 11:12, not 11:00. also 18+17=35...and 18x17=306, so 3:06, not 3:25.... had to look at the walk-through to finish the game. glad it was free and had enough going for it to keep me playing.
Interactive very good graphics. Ease use of hints associated with 30 seconds videos. Improvement is with the puzzles connected to the clues state complete or finished. My top 5 escape room game.
Loved the "skip" button. Not a lot of games keep that option anymore. Pleasantly surprised by the story and the graphics
Awesome adventure, full game for free, great graphics and some harder mini puzzles .. a definite if you enjoy P&C Games!! Thank you for your hardwork Developers, I am not easily impressed!!
The clock puzzle at the end was inconsistent, as the middle clock had a clock time on the clue were as the others were just numbers. The clue should have been 66 not 630. Overall not a bad game.
Great Game. Very impressed with the storyline and the ending. Great graphics and challenging puzzles. overall excellent game.
Nicely executed, puzzles a bit simple and navigation back and forth a little tedious. All in all a recommendable game with good graphics
Really liked this game, challenging at times, with no hints. Made you think hard. Definitely would recommend playing this game!
Simple but clever... Unfortunately, it's average compared to other adventure games that are currently available. Navigating from room to room took some getting used to and, at times, it was difficult to find the clues. Felt a bit clunky and forced... with one item per room, your touchscreen will have to work overtime as you point a click anything that might be useful.
