    • “The story seemed rushed as well; some things were left unclear.”
    • “I'll give 3 stars just because I preregistered for the game and was waiting to play it. Unfortunately, it took me about only an hour to finish the game. It's too short, and the storyline in Chapter 1 was even better. I really need a game to play at least for a week.”
    • “Boring story; puzzles make no sense, and hints show you answers to puzzles you already completed.”

  • monetization9 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the low cost to remove ads and the minimal intrusion of pop-up advertisements. However, some users expressed frustration with the hint system, noting that watching ads for hints often did not provide helpful guidance, leading to moments of being stuck in the game.

    • “The only problem I have is that when you watch the ads for the hint, it's not really helpful and I was stuck for a while.”
    • “Pros: nice graphics and storyline. Cons: no hint system which could've been used to place ads instead of awkwardly having random pop-ups in the middle of the game.”
    • “I even watched ads and tutorials... nothing.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality and contribution to the atmosphere.

    • “Please continue this series; such a good game, graphics, music, and puzzles!”

    • “4 stars only because the game has music but no sound.”

  • optimization1 mentions
