Glitch rock

However....I have noticed that my previous purchases of forever lost 1,2 and 3 are lost I hope not forever? I have to repurchase? Really? I LOVE these games, and a bit disappointed that my purchases weren’t avail to me anymore.

Too hard without a hint feature

Sorry but I wasted my money on this. I’m not stupid and don’t expect everything in a puzzle game to be obvious or what would the point be? But there’s no logic behind most of the “clues” ...it’s so random you just wander around in a room with little atmosphere collecting things and photographing them with little understanding of what they might be useful for.

Best room escape ever

This is absolutely fantastic value for money app. Hours of play, lots of puzzles, really challenging. Can't wait for the next in this series!

Another great game in the forever lost series

These are the best games money can buy and this one is just as puzzling even though it's just one room. Could do with a hint feature at times. When's the next one?

Camera/Photo Album issue but still playable

Camera icon covers the photo album icon. You can work around the issue by going into the item menu and accessing the photo album that way.

Doesn’t display properly

Mamasan42 on

United States

Have tried this on my iPhone as well as my iPad. The camera placement covers the photo album, so you can’t access the photo album. It just takes another picture (which you can’t see). I would need to use two devices to play. Reached out to the company and have heard nothing back. It looks like it could be fun, but very frustrating.

Fun cooperative game

United States

My son and I enjoyed solving this game together. We would work on it some and then take a break to mull over some of the puzzles. A good variety of puzzle types to keep us both entertained.

Delightful

Lilfishy5689 on

This game was so much fun. I’ve never played a game in this genre before where the entire setting is available to you right away (minus some small areas you need to gain access to). In the beginning it’s a challenge, but by the end I knew where everything was like the back of my hand. There are some really out of the box challenges and puzzles here - ones that really make you think, which is no surprise from Glitch. There were a few places I got stuck and had to look up a walkthrough, but each time it was because I had overlooked a clue which isn’t surprising in this non-linear, single-room setting. I kept photos of everything I hadn’t solved yet, so when I got stumped I could swipe through instead of having to check the entire room out again. Overall this is a fabulous little game - I would absolutely love to do another one like this!

Excellent Puzzles and Charm

Love this game with its rich environment, plethora of puzzles and clever clues, and charming story line. Fun!
