Community Insight:
Its a very good puzzle game, it makes you think kind of puzzle game.
Hi the game is so good we love it.
Looks gorgeous, great atmosphere. The puzzles arent very difficult, which makes it a very relaxing game. We accidentally discovered a crash within the first ~10 minutes, which isnt a great sign :( But overall, love it! We will be playing the second one.
Just a good amount of challenge, not too hard, but as long as you use your brain a little you won't have to watch video to get the clues.
We use an adblocker so Im not sure if there may be annoying ads for others, but this is the perfect level of puzzle in our opinion, and is a pretty game as well. Im not too far in but we are enjoying it so far.
Mysterious, challenging, and lots of fun.
Love this puzzle and the hints are excellent.
Most satisfying game we ever played at all.
Excellent game with calming visuals and music.
Update: MAKE ANOTHER FARAWAY FOR IOS!!! Not on steam or a short one! Make one just as amazing as this whole series has been. With all the hidden gems and unlockable aspects. We cant replay these because we know where all the magic is Cant remove triangle tiles after placing them but we know we were able to before. Can not move forward with out this option.
We accidentally downloaded One of your Doors games and played it. We are hooked! We never pay for extra stuff on these games but yours are an exception. We have played 5 of your games and love, love, love them ALL! Ive now downloaded ALL of your games and will gladly pay extra for the extra games. Keep up the great work! You guys rock.
This game looks beautiful. Its easy to grasp on to and at the same time, the later levels can give you a bit of a challenge. Its fun figuring out where the notes are hidden. Like most games, there are some levels locked behind a paywall; no big deal. There are ads but not nearly as obnoxious as other mobile games. Highly recommended to pass the time and challenge your brain.
Great puzzles with extra content if you want to collect all the notes.
Really good! Be ready to dive into a mysterious and relaxing adventure with hidden clues and doors. Only complaint would be the ads, but they thankfully tend to come on after you are done solving one part of the puzzle.
Great for those whom enjoy a little thinking.
Love the game, with great hints.
Guys, you need to get the plate and place it on the machine to get the diamond to reflect the laser.
Great puzzles, love the supplemental story to go along with it :).
They are challenging but not impossible, hint system is very helpful unlike other games. They are episodic and short enough to do a level while waiting for something but there are lots of levels if you want longer play. Really hope they make more.
So far so good! Functionally easy, difficult enough so far, hope it gets progressively harder. Weird to rate it after only 3 initial levels so.
So the game is very awesome but bye chance are you able to fix door 6 for us it just shows a white screen and we cant move on without completing it. But bye far awesome game.
We are replaying Faraway, and continue to be delighted with clever/unique puzzles, beautiful/mysterious landscapes, relaxing music, and intriguing storyline. Love all the Snapbreak Games.
A wonderful puzzle adventure. Not challenging enough to endlessly frustrate you, but certainly challenging enough to keep you interested. Awesome balance of puzzle and story. 10/10 will play again.
We think this is the best game ever tip:if you see papers in the ground collect them you will need them.
Ive bought and played almost every single one that you have created and Im addicted!!! Please keep making these!! Also, the music is perfect.
Im a novice at any puzzle game so we value the hints offered here and appunwrapper is a godsend. Ive played the other Faraway games and am always hoping for more.
This game is amazing and so enjoyable. Its not too difficult. We love everything about it but the reason we gave it five stars was because everything is perfect. We love this game and wish to continue it.
The 3 games are so fun. The puzzles are challenging but not impossible or outrageously complex. If you get stuck you can use the tip. We cant wait for Faraway 4.
Cant remove triangle tiles after placing them but we know we were able to before. Can not move forward with out this option.
When we saw this game we remembered that this was a amazing adventure puzzle game the only reason we saw this is because we are a huge fan of puzzle escape/adventure games it was a really good game when we were a kid now we finally found it (the reason we didnt find this earlier is because we forgot its name) but yeah great game.
This our favorite game.we think theres four Or three more, we love them too. We want more.
At first when we downloaded this game we looked at the reviews first to make sure it was good. Mostly five stars so we got it and we thought it would be boring. But man! We were wrong! The music is so nice and calming and the puzzles are fun to complete. We would definitely recommend this game. Though maybe some of the puzzles are kinda easy we expect they get harder.
Great brain game. We look forward to the next.
We had a lot of fun solving these challenging, fun puzzles. We want to play this game again to find all the notes and break all the pots.
This game is ver fun the only problem is when you get to one of the later levels you have to pay money to finish the game. Other then that this games is amazing and the sounds are beautiful. Also works without WiFi which is great.
Im stuck on 8 because the mirror will not reflect the laser. What am we missing.
We really enjoyed this game! Makes you think! There was only one puzzle that we couldnt figure out and needed help, but we forgive them for that! We you enjoy puzzle games, this one is for you! Im ready for their next adventure … How about you.
We enjoy having to think about how to solve some of them they were kinda tricky. Thanks.
Very smooth gameplay, interesting puzzles, and a good storyline to keep the game moving. We love it.
What a fun game…the best…always love a challenge..this does not disappoint…look forward to more games by this developer..kudos to you!! Fun game.
Well worth the couple of bucks the developers ask for for the whole game. Im working on the whole series.
Tried playing this first installment of the Faraway series and was frustrated at level 8; so, we stopped playing. Played the rest of the series and had a blast. Decided we would not be beat by the first in the series; so, we went back. Happy we returned…everything made more sense after knowing how Pine Studio personnel developed their puzzles.
Ok so this game is beautiful, calm, and lovely BUT!!! Our game will NOT load. We are trying to play lvl 4, and the screen just gets white. We love this game, but it is SLOW.
Deserves 4 stars. Its a tad on the simple side, but engaging enough so youll still want to see want youll have to do next to proceed.
Been playing these puzzle adventure games for a bit. This one is fun. Will def get all three. But honestly. Its very basic compared to others. But still enjoyed it.
So far so good not a lot of ads thank you.
We love this game so much and played this one and most of the sequels, really great games.
We enjoyed this game but wish there was an alternative to purchasing the whole thing.. Cant it continue with ads as for the first levels.
Nice time waster. Nothing to hard yet.
This is one of several series with different themed puzzle games. They offer a nice mix of easy and harder tasks. The hidden notes reveal a mysterious story that makes you eager to solve! We seem to be stuck on level 5 though with the second task to turn off the lasers. All the symbols look to be turned to the right angle, same as the first one. We even double checked via YT tutorial and it looks the same. We seem to have our own mystery to solve.
