## Able Black Reviews in United States

### ***** "Amazing!"
It is the perfect mix of philosophy, horror and puzzles! Absolutely amazing and I need more!!
-- PrincessPoro, 2024-08-09

### ****- "Enjoyed it but…"
The game is simple with a very intriguing story. I enjoyed playing. But it says it will reward you for making it through all of the puzzles without using any hints. I completed my first playthrough without using a single hint, but couldn’t figure out what the reward was. Eventually, I tried looking it up online and realized that the option that’s apparently supposed to unlock if you don’t use any hints still was not unlocked for me? I even tried playing the puzzles over again to see if that unlocked it, but it still didn’t work. I was really getting into the story and want to see what’s beyond this locked option, but can’t get it to unlock for me despite never having used a single hint.
I also wonder if the story is imcomplete. It just feels as though it drops off at a cliff hanger, leaving so much left to be told. I hope for more of this story in the future and maybe a fix for it not unlocking what it supposed to.

### ***** "Great so far!!"
The game’s been amazing so far. It’s creative, has an interesting plot, phenomenal character development, puzzles that challenges you just the right amount, and is just overall a great game!
-- silverorchids, 2023-10-22

### ***** "One of a kind"
This game felt odd in the beginning and I’m glad I kept going. The story is captivating and after a second chapter I wanted to pause to dwell on it a little bit. It made me think about ethical issues, morals and how AI fits into our lives. It’s a great game with a sincere and touching story. Unforgettable really
-- T_taisia, 2023-10-19

### ***** "Thank you"
this just reminds me how amazing life is and makes me greatful not only that I wanted to start reading more to get smarter and this is a perfect start and the puzzles are so fun and amazing they fascínate me
-- lol_thatdude, 2023-07-09

### ***** "Inspiration at its Core."
I’m an artist and writer who loves indie games, and it’s difficult to find indie games that stick with me. It’s usually a quick play and then delete app routine. Yet, after playing this game, I will never delete it. It exceeded my expectations by lengths and inspired me in ways I cannot describe. The story was enthralling and thoughtful. It made me take a step back to think upon the way I view our world. I was put into the shoes of someone inhuman, that understood humanity more than I did. After playing the main story and finding some secrets, my mind has been tap dancing around, making connections and finding new points of views to explore this game with. And no other indie game has made me feel this way. I am more than grateful to have had the opportunity to play this game. Thank you.

### ***** "ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE."
So i was looking for a story game to play, and i scrolled past this and said 'well, it's free, why not' and i was compLETELY BLOWN AWAY. GET IT GET IT GET IT. The story is genius, the puzzles are tricky and fun, and the emotions are so deep and relatable. i almost cried. It also isn't just one of those stories or games you use to get away from the real world, which are way too common today. Oh not at all, this makes you really think about your life, and what it actually means to live. It's beautiful. The only thing is that i wish it was longer. this is as close to a perfect game as anyone is gonna get, so seriously, GET. THIS. GAME.
-- leximimi, 2023-04-22

### ***** "Absolutely beautiful"
It was different than I expected the game to be. Genuinely one of my favorites I’ve ever played. So much went into the story and the whole vibe was just so cool. The game really made me think too. I wish I could give it higher than a five star rating. To say it exceeded my expectations is an understatement by far
-- TheAmazingTurtleDuck, 2023-02-27

### **--- "interesting if only the puzzles actually made sense"
with most puzzles you would NEED a hint unless you cheat and look it up. maybe have a couple play testers because i couldn’t even finish the game because when i found out the puzzles the solution was STUPID.
-- last time lol, 2023-01-21

### ***** "This Game is amazing"
I give this game a full Five-Star review.
I love it with EVERYTHING!! 
I love how it makes you think hard and gives you hints, and it helped me with sharpening my mind. You know what? I hope the developers of this game will create a sequel game to Able Black. Honestly, I’m actually really curious on what’s going to happen afterwards. But being the Writer I am, writing short stories in my drafts on an app, I was inspired to write one based on this. Who knows? Also, I’m sorry if this is copyright but I WILL give credits to the original. I swear I will. Though again, It’s gonna be an online book, Though I probably won’t publish it just yet till I finish and I’m sure I wanna publish it. 
Anyways, KEEP IT UP!!!
