While some reviews note that certain storylines may lack depth or logic, the overall consensus highlights the captivating nature of the plots, making them enjoyable for mystery and puzzle enthusiasts.

“The storylines, the adventures, the graphics, the puzzles/games, etc...they're all so exciting and intriguing!”
“I love that there's just one story but it's in so much detail and the fact that items from a different scene can be used at another scene is also really unique.”
“I have been waiting to find such a game...terrific game..captivating story, clues are just difficult enough without being impossibly useless..moves along wonderfully...I almost feel as if I am watching a movie...and I am in it!”
“The storyline isn't captivating.”
“Enjoyable game...great graphics, as I've come to expect from this developer, but the storyline leaves a lot of loose ends.”
“The plot seems stupid... why would someone from the order headquarters send an eagle figurine to the murder mansion... the arrangement of objects doesn't make sense.”

“Beautiful graphics and solvable puzzles, some easier than others.”
“Great graphics, storyline, puzzles, and mini puzzles!”
“It's a rip off with decent graphics.”
“Force closing the app allowed me to connect one wire but then glitched out (it's a graphics error as selecting the hint paper draws over the puzzle but the wire and symbols show through the hint paper once it bugs out). Please fix; it's been 5 months since the last update and the problem is still in the game.”
“Compared to the graphics in other games, this one is much cheaper.”

The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for hints or bonuses. While some users express frustration over the frequency and length of ads when seeking help, the overall sentiment is positive, highlighting that players can progress without spending real money if they are willing to watch ads. However, there are calls for more balanced monetization, such as offering additional content for free after completing the game.
“Now, I'm playing the Lantern of Souls, and it's not less than the others in being challenging and engaging. Besides, no ads, which is great.”
“Great work by the developer! It's challenging and also has no ads. I rate this one 5 stars.”
“Perfect mystery narrative, escape room, puzzles, mini games, with no ads interrupting, and featuring mini movies.”
“Good game, but I wish that after you've done everything and collected all of the mystery objects, you didn't have to pay for the additional bonus. I understand about having to pay for your advertising, but after someone has done everything in the game and found all of the mystery hidden objects, you'd let them have the additional game for free. Just my opinion.”
“Need too many ads just to get clues.”
“Too long to wait for ads to get hints.”
