Community Insight:
YAY! We found it! This was the childhood game we grew up with! Im so glad we found it. We also liked the others as well. We first saw this game on our cousin phone while she was playing. So many lost memories we regained.:).
This is a really good app! Though we get a lot of ads and its hard to play its still good! We have played this for a week and its been very fun so keep up the work on these wonderful games.
Heya! Im a 10 year old who has almost all of your games! And Im a really big fan of your games! Its a tiny bit hard for us but thats fine! But theres a problem with this game! All our other games from you work but not this one! We left the game for a few mins and when we came back to play the game it kicked us out! Which is a big problem for us because we really like these games! So if you could fix this problem that would be very nice But if you are a type a person whos into scary puzzle games then we would definitely recommend this game! Its so much fun! And also very interesting! Get this game.
This is a pretty fun game. Just challenging enough. We enjoyed it! But the voice acting is justso bad. The terrible evil mastermind appears before the protagonist? The protagonist reacts in the exact same tone of voice as someone who has just realized they tracked mud onto their new rug. The protagonist says we cant take the horror anymore with such vague dismay that youd think he was complaining about leaving his tea in the other room for the second time that day. And the writing is either poorly reviewed, or badly translated into English, or both. Which is sad because the voice actor sounds like a native English speaker, so if he couldnt act, the least he could do was tell the writer the lines hadnt been translated properly. They also change because calling the protagonists partner his girlfriend and his fianc. Anyway, it was an entertaining enough game, even with the ads. Despite our complaints, we still enjoyed it enough that Im going to play the next one.
Get crashed in the most interesting parttried thousands ways still cant Fix it. =(.
Illogical and frustrating so not fun.
Just paid to remove the ads but that did nothing; getting more than ever it seems, and a ridiculous amount of them at 30 seconds each makes even a beautifully designed game unbearable. No more Forgotten Hill games for us, sad.
Fun puzzle game, but the ads will drive you up a wall, and the price to get rid of them is also crazy. Please lower the price for short games like this! We look at hints to expedite the process, not lengthen it. Also, some hints are useless/obvious after watching a long ad. We do really appreciate the fact that you have walkthroughs online, but we try to avoid spoilers if possible and those make it harder. Overall a decent game though.
Loaded with bugs. Incredibly frustrating. We played Mementos first… It was awesome! Hopefully they get this fixed asap.
This game was amazing. The puzzles were challenging, and the story was good. We would recommend starting with Forgotten hills: fall before you play this one, so you understand the story more.
Our favorite game of all forgotten hill series.
This is a super fun game, took us about a long day of just this game to finish! This is the first of the forgotten hill games that we have played but we can tell that they 100% deserve way more publicity. Keep it up.
We say this is one of the best games we every played in our entire life.
Keep them coming! Great job, F.H. Developers! We paid for No Ads, because you guys deserve being paid for such a great job! PS: we encourage all who play these to put up the $1.99. Not a lot of money for several hours of fun.
Ive played quite a few of these games, this one is terrible. Even on an iPhone 8+, the objects are tiny and difficult pick up. There is no approximate radius, you need to click right on the object you want. The puzzles are difficult as the clues given are imprecise, we figured out a few puzzles by accident. The audio also skips or repeats when the player is talking. The game is just poorly made.
We play for a bit on our iPad Pro and it'll just freeze up and we have to reboot. It's getting tiresome.
Played it on Newgrounds got bored and downloaded it again and still enjoyed it a second time. Ready for the third installment.
We're running this on an iPhone 6+ on the current iOS and it keeps crashing randomly.
Great game, tricky but fun puzzles.
The game quits when you try to play it! Please fix! Still crashes after update.
You cannot even play for 30 seconds before it closes.
