## What Lies Underground Reviews in United Kingdom

### ****- "Great puzzle game"
Good graphics, great mix of puzzles, largely intuitive controls.  Really enjoyed it.  Could have done with the expanding the story a bit but would look forward to another if there is one.
-- K9!m, 2022-12-28

### ***** "Loved it"
Nice assortment of puzzles.  Helpful messages.  Not overdone.
-- MilesMonroe, 2022-11-07

### ***** "Great puzzles"
This game has absolutely excellent puzzles, really different to others out there. Fantastic, loved it. More please!
-- Sheff2412, 2022-09-18

### ****- "Decent game"
No fancy graphics here, but some of my favourite puzzle games are exactly like that and it is absolutely not necessary. There are not many easy puzzles here and so prepared to be challenged! Nothing ridiculously difficult, but nothing is handed on a plate to you either. The one criticism I would have is the controls are not intuitive. I kept finding myself pressing the wrong ones and I think they could be made to work much better. It could just be me of course, but I think with a little tweaking it could be made to work much better.

### ***** "Really great when’s the next one coming out?"
Really enjoyed this, puzzles just hard enough and fun to play. 

Please make a follow up!
-- Jessicagrrl, 2020-11-26

### **--- "Clunky and missing some key play support"
Ok. So in essence this is a pretty game.  Crisp graphics and quite real looking structures.

For the price, I found it a disappointment.

I’ve played most of the games like this and there are some key play support tools that are required in this game, otherwise you need a notebook and pen which then takes away the “mobile” playability.

For instance, if this game had a snapshot function, such as in forever lost, you could get to the puzzles without having to keep opening your very clunky inventory over and over again.

The fact that there isn’t a select and drag function on inventory items makes it a poor playing experience.

A sketch function would also enhance this game.

All in all, shows promise but when you are paying more for an app than the room or da Vinci code etc, you expect similar, if not better in game experiences.

### ***** "Loved this"
Great game! Was very sorry when it was over. Really nice graphics, challenging puzzles and a very helpful hint website. More please!
-- Nubletrone, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Great fun"
Really playable.   Loved the graphics and the puzzles weren&#039;t the hardest to figure out, but saying that I did use walkthroughs a couple of times 🤔.  Looking forward to the next episode
-- Rastagilly, 2019-10-04

### ***** "Excellent game"
Good gameplay great graphics and the puzzles made sense. Bit of humour thrown in for good measure. Recommend
-- Betty boo bear, 2019-09-28

### ****- "👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍"
Love these types of games, puzzles tricky ( for me ) but got there in the end. I did think it was a bit on the short side though but enjoyable all the same. Recommended. 😎
-- Faefife., 2019-02-24

### ***** "Great fun"
Challenging, but not stupidly difficult.  A decent length - plenty of fiendish problems to solve.  Looking forward to the next one.
-- AC1961++, 2019-02-09

### ***** "Excellent Escape Game!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish. Clear, uncluttered graphics, unusual and interesting puzzles. A couple of proper head scratchers in there as well. 

I’ve played twice and still the one of the achievements eludes me so I’ll have to play again! No hardship as it’s a pleasure to play. I love the text explanations and the little humorous comments when you try something weird. 

I have a couple of little niggles:- I don’t like hidden inventories. They involve a lot of extra tapping which I find a bit annoying. I’d rather have a scrolling inventory to the side or along the bottom. 

Some items were obtained without “seeing” them in situ, like in a drawer. Whereas other items were obtained by, for example, opening a drawer and taking the item. I found this a bit confusing - especially if you tap away quickly and miss the text.

These really are small things and are probably very personal dislikes and in no way took away from my overall enjoyment of this well thought through, polished game. I for one can’t wait to see what this talented one man band will produce next! 
Well done Stuart! Terrific game 😊 

I’ve made a walkthrough for the game on my YouTube channel:

### ***** "What lies underground"
Stuck on the chest puzzle? Any help out there.
Thanks I had the small chest lit up, but with hint found the coloured card. Onward we go. 😀
-- Lisa jm, 2018-11-06

### ****- "Liked it"
Sparse but nicely made, dissapointed that the game ended so abruptly down the manhole thought there would be more gameplay.
-- Helexioni, 2018-10-31

### ***** "Top Game"
I download and then delete a lot of these games but this one had me hooked from the get go. Really well thought out. Tricky in places (for me anyway). Excellent playability. What makes it more impressive that this was produced by one guy on his own. Keep up the good work Stuart and I can’t wait for the next one.
-- chivo100, 2018-10-30

### ****- "So far so good"
Autosave has been promptly fixed so all is good now. Much better than most escape style games with text accompanying most things you touch. Early days so will update review again soon.
-- Fennburto, 2018-10-26

### **--- "buggy, Autosaving doesn’t work. unintuitive UI"
I closed the app from multitasking as it froze, reopened the game and lost all progress. Using items from inventory is unintuitive.
