Waste of money!
Inspector Ichabod Crane
Where’s the gorgeous graphics? Stop kidding me, graphics are at PS2 level. Same puzzles over and over again, sounds boring? You bet! Only new feature this game introduces is that you control the character using touch controls, which you can imagine is $#@*[ compared to even a simple PS2 controller.
The game itself is good but plotting this on phone is not ok

Tried once on pc version, much easier to control. Phone version is just too difficult to control motion (walk, puzzle solving (despite my finger size)) Not satisfied with 10$ worth mobile game.
Poor save

I’m new to gaming and therefore very slow. When I found that my last game wasn’t properly saved and I had to start quite a few steps behind I gave it up.
Great game, destroys the battery

I’m running iOS 11.2 on a first gen iPad Pro and the battery still gets destroyed. Please work on the battery consumption issues! I have to stop playing the game, which is unfortunate because the game itself is wonderful.
My game of the decade
AyleaP
I have been obsessively playing this game for over 6 weeks now. This addiction started slowly. The first few days I wasn’t sure it was worth my time and money. But the more I explored, and discovered, and solved, I realized I was wrong. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played. The more I played, the more I was in awe of the developers imagination and implementation. I can remember a few OMG moments in games I’ve played over the years: In Myst when I suddenly found myself on a completely different island for the first time; in Obsidian when I realized I was working my way around the inside walls of a cube. And in The Witness, after playing for a month, all of a sudden I saw another completely different aspect of the game. It was there all along, I just hadn’t noticed it yet. Wow! This is a game for explorers and puzzle solvers. It takes a person with patience, a hunger for discovery, and lots of perseverance. If that is you, this game will reward you with daily surprises and delights. I finished it today—well, I got to an end. But I haven’t solved everything, so I’m not really finished. There are messages still to find. I can see places I haven’t explored yet (a door to an unexplored room is locked from the inside, for instance). So I am continuing to explore, in hopes I can discover more.
Wildly immersive and rewarding

Normally I like tense difficult games, but this provides an immersive relaxing experience I am enjoying a lot. I don’t play puzzlers because the puzzles lack coherent logic behind their solutions, that a ha moment. But these puzzles are very coherent and it rewards you for thinking intelligently, but not in a way where you are overanalyzing everything. And it rewards you for wandering, looking, tinkering, and I find how often the game pats you on the back so satisfying. There are secret videos that absolutely make the searching for answers so gratifying. I recommend this to lovers of world wandering and puzzle solving. And it is worth the money because it is a deep enriching, very long game.
Unplayable on iPhone

This game is basically unplayable on an iPhone X. It’s incredibly dizzying and the controls are janky. I would like a refund.
