Always great from Lone Wolf I've played all their games and they are always great gameplay. This one kept me busy for quite a few hours. Storyline intriguing. I also like that there is a hint book to tell you places you can do things but not what to do. This allows some guidance but doesn't give away the challenge. Ready for the next game, Lone Wolf!

Becky Nelson

mostly great except for one puzzle that gave no ideas on how to solve. no hint whether all buttons were to be on or off or what!! it had 2 different stages neither of which gave any indication of desired outcome. U just struggle blindly for an eternity til U stumble on what ever it was they wanted! bad move Dev! That needs to b fixed please. Great game over all.

Elizabeth McKenna

Excellent game! Trickier than other LW games--had to resort to walk through several times. Possibly because I played it over 3 months, though!? Long play length, book "worlds" very clever, clue feature somewhat vague (maybe more "drill down" help?), graphics terrific, map jumping would be a plus!

Jeniece Fairbairn Summers

Only gripe... FAST TRAVEL!!! I love your games, but please please PLEASE add a fast travel option to your maps!!! I mean, we can zip through enchanted books, we should be able to zip over to whatever scene has the next clue or puzzle, etc! Please!!!! And thank you. :-D

Andrea Sirianni

Liked it but something is wrong I keep trying the glass jar in the chimney, I know it should fill with smoke but it keeps telling me nothing happens and try something else! I'm frustrated because I'm stuck in scene 39!!!

Hannah Kowalski

My sister and I played this game together. We really enjoyed it. It's reminiscent of Myst, although the puzzles are simpler here. To those griping about fast travel: SHUT IT! Stop being whiney. It's a larger world than many mobile games, but it's not so big that you can't go through screens that had a lot of time put into each one. Jeez. Be immersed. Take some time to ENJOY the game and not just to finish it.

Says something about drawing over other apps. I won't bother disabling Twilight for this app. So long. Uninstalled! It's my phone, I run what I want!

Alma Ionescu August 26, 2016

Very good game Good length and good value for money. I like that the story has common elements with their other games. I am giving it four and not five stars only in comparison with some truly remarkable games that are out there (The Room, Shardlands etc)

January 13, 2017

Really good game. Request for dev Please would you add a skip feature for some puzzles? I hated the circle puzzle in screen 43!

Tom Tebo August 26, 2016

Great game. Needs fast travel! Love their games. With a map system that is so carefully and well executed, it seems perfect for a fast travel implementation. It is my only complaint. A tremendous amount of walking for the sake of walking.

Chris Jones June 6, 2017

This one is exceptional. Puzzles are just the right difficulty, world is rather large but cleverly broken up into zones so as to keep navigation simple, map is great, clues are just right. A rarity is just how smooth movement is from scene to scene even with detailed graphics. Not too much need to tap around all over every scene looking for that obscure object as in many games. Will be looking for others from this developer.

Randall Mata May 17, 2017

Well executed. The only gripe is that going from point to point got tedious when following clues, but I suppose there is no way around that.

Dona Patrick May 3, 2016

Entertaining game This game was just difficult enough to keep me entertained and not frustrated. I've played one other of their games and will purchase more.

Dale Nordling May 26, 2016

Good game I enjoyed this very much. There's a bug in the last puzzle though. After it's solved and the item appears, it quickly disappears again. I had to exit and reenter the building and then could find and click on the item.

Joyce Ciskowski June 19, 2016

Love Their Gamez I really have enjoyed all of Lonely Wolf's games. This one was particularly good. We'll worth the price. Can't wait till the next one!

Debra Lambert April 29, 2016

Cant finish game as I am stuck on puzzle that you need to turn all purple game needs skip button Love the game but cant finish Have tried looking at youtube but that didnt help either

Syntaxity April 25, 2016

Please have a look at the walkthrough video on youtube for that puzzle, it should help you get through the puzzle: https://youtu.be/0pzxVRexKbU

Ruth Northeast July 25, 2016

Superb I love Lone Wolf games. Not for the faint hearted though....very difficult to solve. I had to resort to a walkthrough a few times. Excellent puzzles:-)

Denilson Sá Maia June 6, 2017

Bad puzzles. Interactive areas and objects are not clear. You have to tap the bottom part of the curtain at the first screen, while nothing suggests that (not even tapping the curtain). Later you get an iron bar. Why? To break a padlock! So, can I break another padlock using the same bar? No, it only works for that single one. Why? Because there is no logic.

Barry smith October 18, 2016

Great graphics, disappointed with game. I was given to understand at the start of the game that there was a fourth book that you would explore when you find it. This is not the case, upon finding the fourth book the game ends with a promise that you can explore it in a future game. I found this a big disappointment and very misleading. With 3 books it was not the longest game in the world, how they will manage to get a game out of just one book is beyond me. Some of the puzzles would have been more enjoyable if there was a brief description of how to play them. There was also far too much skipping back and forth, most of the time I was unable to keep track of where I was or were I was supposed to go. This would have been made less annoying had the map allowed quick travel to the different locations.

Love the game, however I have a major problem... One lovely day I started the game up, it force closed for some odd reason, I restarted my phone, started the game back up...same thing...nothing.. Well, after having to reinstall the game I finally got it started only to find out all of my LONG hours of playing were gone...poof...bang..Shazam!! And NO way to retrieve them :( I'm going to refrain from playing for awhile, as I said I have put many many hours into it without using any hints. Is there a possibility of having a cloud save? Or even a way to go in and make a backup myself?? Thanks.

Paul Bettendorf April 30, 2016

Enchanted Books Very good game, puzzles that make you think. Fairly easy to navigate around without the being lost frustration. Recommend this game.

SHIRL SPIRIK July 12, 2016

This might be the best game I have ever played. I played this game a year or so ago and I think I like it better this time. Very well thought out and put together. LONE WOLF GAMES ROCK!!

robin may May 14, 2016

Thanks for thinking about jump maps! You just earned yourself another ☆! Can't wait for your next release 😊

Syntaxity April 25, 2016

Thank you for the suggestion :) We have been looking into adding that feature in future games.

Beth Hubble June 3, 2016

Excellent game Beautiful graphics, long quest. Needed a fair few hints but that was easy to get ( no hidden costs or ads, so good value)

Adam Masiukiewicz May 14, 2017

Got it free, and finished it in 3 days. This is point&click one-time-play game. Calm music, nice graphic, some good non-frustrating puzzles, and lot of walking between screens to some points and back, and again, again.. Thanks for clues, you always know where to go. Give it a try as it still free ;)

rocky ells May 11, 2017

I'm fairly new to this type of game, but this is one of the best I've played (out of about 12). Challenging without being frustrating. Puzzles actually make sense (not as common as one would think/hope). Gorgeous, "living" graphics. I'll be trying out another as soon as I'm finished.

Peter King February 18, 2017

It's ok but it keeps dropping me. Says that it cannot confirm the purchase and try again in af ew minutes. This happens so often it is a complete pain do cannot really be bothered. I have completed the game a couple of times but there is too much going bacward snd forward and no real logic or plot. Just find things and see where they might work. Iam now completely annoyed, i have bought tjis game and it wont let me play it. I want my money back and all my money back for the other games from this developer. It is completely unacceptable that it just drops me out. Am uninstalling this rubbish, do not pay money for this it is bad

Peaches H May 22, 2017

This is a wonderful game for someone who just wants to relax. No competition. No stress. There's even a youtube walk through for dummies like me who have never played games like this before so we catch on to the puzzles etc. Great job!

Monica Garwood January 5, 2017

Great before bed! Awesome game to play when winding down. Not too easy but interesting enough to hold your attention. Loved it!

Warren Snider May 9, 2017

Ran into a game-breaking bug about halfway through. If you leave the screen with the smoky chimney, the coat disappears. Clicking on the chimney still says that it's filled with smoke but it won't let you use the glass jar on it. Not really interested in starting over from the beginning but at least it was free. Up until that point the game was pretty good. It does a good job of having a lot of space available at any given time so it's not just one item -> one puzzle--you'll have several available puzzles at any given time and be searching for solutions. Negatives are that there are a few items that I missed just because they were really small and not obvious at all on my phone. Also, as you get farther, a lot of the puzzles lose their logic and just become using every item you have on everything you run across until something works. So 3 stars, closer to 3.5 but I'm salty about not being able to finish so I rounded down.

Lisa Torres June 11, 2016

Love em all I love lone wolf games!! They are not too hard but not too easy either!! Thank you devs for including the clue book also! It's a very nice touch. Waiting excitedly for the fourth book adventure!!! ;)

Kevin Hibbert April 26, 2016

You've don it again! I can only hope that you can keep the games like this one coming. I will continue to buy them and support you.

maria silva Estou gostando muito das aula , April 24, 2016

Syntaxity April 25, 2016

Please have a look at the walkthrough video on youtube for that puzzle, it should help you get through the puzzle: https://youtu.be/0pzxVRexKbU

Rob Spirat May 27, 2016

Excellent value Got stuck only once or twice, lots of fun!

Nico July 10, 2016

Very entertaining Game length is good and clues' difficulty is reasonable. Looking forward to playing their next one.

Baby Girl November 26, 2016

Winner So far Lonewolf has done awesome with their games. Beautiful graphics and challenging levels. I look forward to the newest release set for the end of this year.

Tim Maskall May 9, 2017

Hints not working; too much travel, no short way.. Puzzles good but some too obtuse

Karen H February 5, 2017

It crashed at door picture puzzle after 3rd book

September 16, 2016

Like MYST or The Room. Buy them all. Hours of puzzles for like $2? Yeah. Do it. Don't just buy it for you. Buy it to support them making more games for all of us. Quality games of this style are hard to find.
