monetization43 negative mentions
  • The game features challenging and clever puzzles that engage players and test their problem-solving skills.
  • The atmospheric horror style, including eerie sound effects and jump scares, enhances the immersive and creepy experience.
  • The art style and animation are well-done and contribute to the overall intriguing and suspenseful mood.
  • The hint system is poorly implemented, often providing irrelevant or repeated hints unrelated to the player's current progress, which leads to frustration.
  • There are excessive and intrusive advertisements that disrupt gameplay, including frequent unskippable ads.
  • Many objects and clues are extremely small, hard to see, or difficult to interact with, making the game unnecessarily frustrating and sometimes requiring random tapping.

  • monetization

    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    2% positive mentions, 2% neutral mentions, 96% negative mentions

    The game's monetization heavily relies on frequent and often intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, including long unskippable videos and autoplay ads between rooms. The paid option to remove ads is reportedly ineffective, and the hint system is tied to watching ads but often delivers repetitive or irrelevant clues, leading to significant player frustration. Overall, excessive advertising severely diminishes the user experience despite the game's potential.

    • “Puzzles are fun but way too many ads compared to other games in the genre, and the tips offered contain things you've already done, so you need to watch more and more ads to find the place you are stuck at.”
    • “The game is full of ads and you have to use data for the sole purpose of showing ads. You'll have to watch ads to get clues but the problem is that clues are in an order, so you solved the first problem and moved on to the second one. When you use the clue button it shows the clue for the first problem, and it's built in that order and the clues only unlock in that order.”
    • “Paid the $1, didn't remove the ads, asked about it, got no response from developer.”

  • story

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 49% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The story aspect received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its intriguing, eerie atmosphere and potential, while others found it vague, incomplete, or lacking meaningful development throughout the game. Several reviews noted a disconnect between the puzzles and story progression, leaving the narrative feeling unresolved or underwhelming. Overall, opinions vary between those who enjoyed the artistic storytelling approach and those who desired a clearer, more engaging plot.

    • “I do like the art and the story so far, so I think this game has potential!”
    • “Very Rusty Lake/Dark Dome styled point-and-click story, very intriguing and creepy atmosphere and background music.”
    • “I wasn't expecting that actually, but the game totally surprised me and took the puzzle games to another level, love it and really wanna find out more about the story (good job guys )”
    • “Some of the puzzles make absolutely no sense, the controls are very clunky so it can take many clicks just to get an object, and there really is zero story - don't be fooled by the vague story at the beginning, it goes nowhere.”
    • “The story to this is very similar to a Dark Dome game I played before, but it's not done as well.”
    • “I am professional in escape games so I was able to pass the puzzles without difficulties and it was great though, but the story was very disappointing and there's nothing but poor jump scares.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent glitches and freezes that disrupt gameplay, including tasks being undone and matches running out prematurely. While the puzzles are well-designed, instability issues significantly hinder the overall experience.

    • “I want to rate this higher, but I can't because some of the glitches ruin the gameplay.”
    • “The puzzles are too random and don't really flow or make sense, and it often glitches and undoes a task I've already completed.”
    • “Now, it freezes every 20 seconds, making it impossible to play.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, -20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The music in the game contributes to a creepy and intriguing atmosphere, with some users finding it beautiful and fitting, while others consider it tiresome and overly common. Overall, it supports the dark, eerie mood but may feel repetitive or generic to some players.

    • “Very Rusty Lake/Dark Dome styled point-and-click story, with a very intriguing and creepy atmosphere complemented by the background music.”
    • “The sound effects are slightly scary and the music is creepy yet beautiful.”
    • “Great art style, although the music can be tiresome, the overall experience is good.”
    • “The background music is very common; you can find it everywhere.”
    • “Uninstalled.. it's just not worthy.. when you put so many ads in a game, at least make it fun.. not to mention the absurdity of the commands.. it has potential though.. just minimize the ads, make the commands right, and please improve the music.”
    • “No third negative quote about the music aspect was found.”

  • atmosphere

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is generally praised for its intriguing, creepy, and campy horror vibe reminiscent of Rusty Lake and Dark Dome styles, enhanced by effective background music.

    • “Loved the atmosphere and the campy horror vibe it had.”
    • “Love the creepy atmosphere and the puzzles.”
