Ratings and reviews

Biggest question here, why can't players play 'normal' mode. I'm stuck in Hopper's trailer, can't answer the phone and just get the message "who ya gonna call?" Netflix or whatever company in charge of maintaining these games, if ya don't want to do it anymore just call it man. It's getting frustrating that we ( the players) can't even play anymore without glitches preventing us from playing.

Redownload this this game to try and play again since the newest one has so many glitches in the game play. now this version like the newer one requires a Netflix account to even play! On top of that it doesn't save your progress in some parts! I recently just made quite a bit o progress in the forest with bear and beehives. I went to exit the game and it said it would save it. Came back to continue and I have to reopen the first gate again and get the ear to break the log. 🤬🤦‍♀️

In several years of playing mobile games, this is the best one I have played. No microtransactions or gacha or ads, just a retro pixel adventure game, similar to the Zelda series (specifically the SNES Zelda game, A Link to the Past), and similar high-quality game mechanics to classic games you rarely see anymore. It’s not quite as good as A Link to the Past for SNES because it’s a much shorter game. You do need a Netflix subscription to play it, though. I already had one, so it wasn’t an issue.
