Community Insight:
So good, love the puzzles and they are challenging. We beat this game many times, it is amazing.
The amount of times we have had to click new game on this app is absolutely ridiculous. There are way too many bugs on this app that are just annoying its not even funny. First, is when you would have to put the item into the tube to get into the music house place, it would go the wrong way and you wouldnt be able to retry. Even if you refreshed the app, nothing would work, so, you had to click new game. At the place where the barrels were supposed to unlock some doors, they wouldnt move, again, you couldnt just refresh the app, you would have to click new game. In the music house, there was a key, now, you were supposed to do something things to make the key fall down, well, guess what, the key would go UP and literally you couldnt find it ANYWHERE. And finally, when you had to put the item into the tube, this time, yes, it actually DID go the right way, but, guess what, the door just wouldnt flipping open. Also, sometimes it would just backtrack and LOOK like it was going to go the other way in the middle of when it was going the right way, but still go the right way, but again, just wouldnt open the door. This might just be our device, but we have seen some other reviews about our same experience. So please, if you are going to play this game, be warned, you might be annoyed. Especially if have a short temper like us.
We see that the last update was 5 years ago which makes us believe we wont see this game completed or updated unfortunately :( which is sad as we enjoyed this game. We hope the developer is alright and maybe one day we can see more from such a promising dev.
The game actually had us using our brain.One of the best adventure/puzzle games we could find on the App Store.we love the type of art that is in the game plus the look of the main character.we CANT WAIT UNTIL THE REST COMES OUT.
We really enjoyed this game! It didnt take too long, which was slightly disappointing, but we know its still being made. We cant wait to see what happens next! The puzzles are challenging, but not to the point where they cause frustration. The storyline so far is very well thought out. We think this game has so much potential and Im very exited for its future. Keep up the good work, team.
This game was absolutely amazing!! The tasks sometimes had us stressing big time but they are fun to try and figure out. The sound track was so cutehonestly wished the game was longer but Im happy with the experience.
Make another quickly/soon please.
This is a really good game . Everything about it is great . We just wish it was a little longer . The puzzles aren't obvious so sometimes you don't know what to do . How do u unlock the 2nd door outside when u get to the island ? And a lot of hidden clues that don't really lead anywhere .. With that being said we're guessing future updates will tie the game together .. We can't wait.
We literally love love love this game. The bio of it says it might take 20 minutes, girl it took us like two days. Anyways. We really really really wish this had another ending, Im gonna try and find more about this app because overall its sooo good and the puzzles are tricky but fun. We got really stuck on the last one, we couldnt figure out how to get the key but we eventually got it. Overall, amazing mobile game; Art is 10/10, story is 10/10, puzzles 10/10 ending 5/10 because we want more anywho, really love it, amazing amazing. Toodles.
This game was amazing from the beautiful art style to the puzzles that are fun and have fun gameplay and we hope it gets more content in the future because even though the story is not finished it is still intriguing along with the dystopian atmosphere around the game.
We left this game and we honestly didnt think it would take us this long but this fast at the same time we thought they were gonna be different levels and Im kind of a little disappointed. We wish there was more to the game, but we absolutely loved it.
We WAS STUCK ON A LVL FOR THREEEEEE DAYSS.
We wish the games was longer :(( we actually enjoyed playing it, we find the last one really challenging and needed some help to figure it out hehe. All in all, this was a great experience and a new and fun way to interact with the game. Id love to see more from this game in the future :))).
We absolutely LOVE this game and it was made years ago, but it wasnt finished PLZ make a part to we wanna see the story end.
This game is a fun and somewhat challenging we really enjoyed playing this and we hope there is a part II.
We first played this game when we were 13 and now Im 16. We were looking for games but they all looked so boring until we scrolled and saw this one. We loved it so much but was bummed that it remained in continuation. We still download this game every so often and enjoy it just the same every time. Even if the developer doesnt release the next game we appreciate this one. It been many years since it was released and there has been no news from the developer but if they see this, you truly have our admiration. Thank you for this amazing project.
We played this game for the first time ages ago and revisit it now and again. We think of how badly we wish for a full release all the time. We will make everyone we know play it. We will pay you. Im begging you.
- Its a free game. Whatd you expect? 2. Its super indie 3. Its made by only 5 STUDENTS, meaning this might be their first game. This is a game made by 5 students, its free for us, its their first game, meaning its so much more high quality then usual.
The game is slow and peaceful, its great to play but its very short. Are you guys going to add more chapters? We hope you do.
Very good game, but it kind of left us all on a cliffhanger. We hope you guys read this.
We know the game died but please we need to know what the developers imagined when creating this game! Please dont let the story die someone respond.
The game is just wonderful! We really liked it we've never seen such a beautiful and atmospheric game.
Everything about this game is absolutely beautiful. The artistic work is a wonderful pleasure that makes the gamer feel they need more. Hope there are plans to expand the story. All the developer needs now is to add some lore and characters to have yourself a cult following. We know we would def jump on that band wagon cause this is a freakin awesome peak into something that could be so much greater.
Like how many years has it been like 4 5 or 3 years Ive been waiting for part 2 come on this might us the best mobile game Ive played and Im trying to fine our other best friend we guess.
We hope you update this soon, its a really good game and we cant wait to figure more out about the lore and the friend that they meet up with, we can only assume it was the white guy you were foreshadowing, but we really love this game. Its a very creative concept and the design is cute. Although one request that you add an actual joy stick to mobile.
We downloaded this game because we love puzzle games that are spooky. We did the little demo and we felt kind of dumb because we didnt realize you tilt your phone for some things to work, but other than that great demo.
Nice game that plays in less than an hour. We look forward to the next episode. We really liked the last puzzle where you had to get the key.
Some of the puzzles didnt make sense to us but its a good game.
Such an interesting and fun game the graphics are amazing we wish theyre was more tho.
Game is nice love the graphics and the puzzles never hade a game like this we loved passing the time with this game finished it so many times lol its real good keep it up hope next update has more puzzles to solve.
This game makes us feel please una nueva actualizacin.
At first we were a little confused with the controls, but once we got into it we couldnt stop, played until we finished it. Its a short game but has a lot of fun puzzles, perfect thing to play while waiting to fall asleep.
Its actually 100% free! We wish there was a donation button to send the developers some love.
We need to know what the next port will be.we got stuck on some but we made it to the end.we have to know what port 2 will beeeeeeeee.
We love this game! We hope they make it longer.
This game is so simple and fun! We finished it pretty quickly, but we love the atheistic and the storyline! We would love to see a part two and would instantly download it! 10/10 would recommend.
The game is really good some left us to thick for a couple seconds but at the end it was good we are looking forward to play more of this once theres an update.
So, we were looking for a good mobile game to play cause we were bored out of our mind at 2 am and we stumbled upon this game. At first we were hesitant because we were looking for more lighthearted time passing cat games and this was recommended. Obviously this is not a cat game. We were intrigued nonetheless, we do love spooky stuff so we gave this game a chance and oh our gosh we are so happy we did. The audio and graphics are so good, the art style really reminds of another game called FranBow and the whole vibe of this game was very good. We got stuck on the last level with the key but we eventually got it. The tilting of the phone is such an interesting touch and the puzzles actually challenging unlike some games which make it too easy. The storyline is so intriguing and we cant wait for the next update/level of this game!! Also sorry if this isnt put together well Im very tired, lol. Anyways, this is a really good game and we highly suggest you try it if you like indie/eerie/mystery puzzle games.
We love this game it has cool graphics and a fun mysterious feel to it. We really like the art. But…to be CONTINUED?!?!? You are killing us!!!!!! We need to know how they got together again!!!!! We need to know what happen!!!!!!(but we do love little shadow bud).
We loved the game but we have one question. When is the second part coming out? We've had this game since it came out and ive been waiting for the second part. We really want it know who the other guy is. The suspense is literally killing us!! Please let us know if you are working on the second part. We need to know.
This game was so much fun, especially with the device tilting element which you dont see often. The story is so sweet and we cant help but feel a bit sad, since when we first played this game, it had only been 6 months since the last update, and as of writing this, its been about two years. We want to hold out hope that it is still being worked on, but its rather unlikely after such a prolonged absence. Devs, if you see this, please continue this game, it was amazing.
Wonderful story telling, it is a shame its not getting any updates. We hope to see a update and a continuation to the story.
Loved everything from the music to the design. Will there be another part coming out soon.
We like ominous games like this!! Especially with puzzles and fun challenges!! We would love to see more.
This game is great for anyone who likes puzzles and complex intuitions, it really makes you think outside the box, while it may not be for us personally (because we cant do hard puzzles for the life of us) its a really solid game with lots of great gameplay, mechanics, and graphics, and we would 100% recommend it to our friends if they wanted a challenge.
Day 2 of asking for the developers to update reach because it has not been updated in a while.
We love it so much cant wait to part 2.
Hi so we LOVE this game BUT can you PLEASE give us a part 2 like a whole new game and who the girl was kind of like us meeting the girl? Ok bye :).
U love this game so much it reminded us of little nightmares we cant wait for a second one.
This game was splicer fun kinda challenging it took us a minute to understand that you have to tilt your phone to do some things but it was super cool we do recommend we hope they come out with a part.2.
