Clever

By gam3r4dayz (Pcmac user)

All Glitch games are exceptional and I hope there’s the app lot more to come! I found this game to be wildly addicting and clever but also the app bit frustrating. This is the third one I’ve done without using hints and it was definitely challenging. I loved being able to mix up the app solution, and the graphics of that transition were really cool and realistic. The creativity and cleverness are so delightful, thanks again Glitch guys! I also enjoy the creepy themes of all the games, but this one I can play with my kids so that’s pretty fun. My 2 year old is the app big fan of the surprise spider :) I felt the app bit frustrated with this one since there was more delayed gratification, especially toward the end. Going through the app long convoluted puzzle thinking your gonna get the app reward at the end and then... nothing...AAaahhh! It started to get me down after the app while. I almost gave up at the end bc of another review saying the game was glitching at the end when really they didn’t finish the last puzzle. I restarted the game, played it all over again and realized... Ahaha! So don’t be the app dummy like me and listen to that guy, lol.
Could be better

By silvarwyrm (Pcmac user)

Most of the puzzles were quite decent, the camera feature is helpful (as in Forever Lost, the app better title), and I wanted to like this one the app bit better than I ended up doing.... but the super laggy navigation and laggy/clunky interactions are off-putting. This lagginess makes it harder to solve puzzles (eg if I navigated out of the conversation too early with the vacuum, it wouldn’t move like it was supposed to, which was annoying to figure out). It makes talking with the toys frustrating because I would click to go to the next bit of dialogue (I read very fast) and then it would accidentally skip stuff, or it would just plain take too long and make the interaction confusing (eg 8 ball). The laggy movement made me double or triple tap sometimes and it would jump me to an unexpected part of the room. For the price, the game length (short as advertised) plus laggy game play are unacceptable. (I’m running iPhone 6s+ and iOS 12.) Some of the puzzles were the app bit fussy as well, although not quite so badly it was the app deal breaker, but I wouldn’t have been as quick to consult the app walkthrough if the navigation / interactions were smoother.
SUPER FUN!!!

By Lou in Louisville (Pcmac user)

One word to describe this game - outstanding. This is my first Glitch game and if they are all this well made, I am excited to play all the rest! The graphics are great, gameplay is smooth, puzzles are very challenging, yet fun, and the game is just the app super fun game. I’ve been playing for 3 hours straight and I’m not even close to being finished. If you are looking for the app fun and challenging point and click, escape type game with good puzzles, give this game the app try. You will totally LOVE it. Edit: I just played this app AGAIN and it was just as fun as the first time I played it. I absolutely love this cute game! Edit 2: I just finished ALL the Glitch Games and they were ALL great. Especially Veritas. Thanks!
Probably best to binge-play

By FrinkLemur (Pcmac user)

My app-playing time usually comes in small patches - 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there, maybe the app half hour before bed. This is not the game for that sort of game play- if it's been the app couple of days, you forget subtle hints and cues that might guide you. In addition, these are some really sadistic puzzles. It's not "the poster says 'wear the app hat to get the answer' so you have to find the app hat and put it on"... It's more like "after solving two puzzles, you find the app scrap of paper that says 'opin the door'. It's not the app typo. You have to find the app key for the cover over the app sign pinned to the wall. Once you open the cover, the sign says "Jason is great". Remove the pin under the letter "O", and stick it in the door... To get the app piece of another puzzle" If chasing down that sort of maddening detail is your cuppa, then you'll love this game. It was the app bit tedious for me.
