The Manhole: Masterpiece

We had the computer CD as kids so it is a delight to show it to our own kids now.

So excited to be able to play this game again under iOS 11! Thank you, developers, for continuing to support this app!

I am so glad I was thinking of this game the other day and so glad I just downloaded it! Better than I remember and I forgot how whimsical this game was... thank you for bringing this to us in app form! Worth the $1.99!

I missed this one when I was a kid, but loved Spelunx and Myst. I've had so much fun with this, both by myself and sharing it with my 3 year old daughter, that I genuinely wish there were more games like this! (And, of course, that I could get Spelunx for either iOS or Mac!) Don't pass this one up. It's a true gem!

Years ago I worked for Broderbund selling our products to retailers and demonstrating them in computer user groups all over the us. I bought this for nostalgia but also to see my kids enjoy this. I love the literary allusions to cs Lewis and Alice in wonderland and the pre myst game play but the exceptional music wins the prize here. This is gorgeously redone with enhance graphics from the cd rom.

This is a precessor to MYST, in that u can see its influence on how MYST was made. This is a kids game but still looks like MYST. Haven't played yet but giving five stars cuz cyan deserves the support! Can't wait for Obduction!

If you have trouble with the sound, check the toggle switch right next to your volume button. The sound in the game didn't play at all for me until I flipped that switch. This brings back memories :-) One of the first games at ever played, at around age 5. Although I played the black and white version on an old Mac Pro, none of this color / touchscreen fanciness :-)

I loved this game as a kid and played it for hours on end! What a joy to have it on a mobile device! Just wandering around and listening to the music is a great way to de-stress and stroll down memory lane!

I loved The Manhole when I had it years ago and eagerly downloaded it when I saw it would work on my iPad… only to discover NO SOUND - unless earphones or external speaker are used. Since the music is the very best part of The Manhole this makes it utterly useless IMO. Please fix!!

This was my favorite game growing up. This game is what essentially turned me into a gamer nerd and it even lead me to other great point and click games (i.e. Riven and Myst) when I found it on the App Store I did not hesitate to pay the 2 dollars, and now this game brings a year to my eye as it blasts me back to my whipper-snapper days!
