2023-03-17	Amber Poore	Really enjoyed this! Though I wish the free episodes were a bit longer and there were more puzzles to solve. Also the second episode story was a bit strange and I didn't really get what was going on, but it was still was pretty interesting overall. I didn't have the option to get any free cookies for some reason, it just said it couldn't connect to the play store but there should be no reason for that.So I will have to check out the paid episodes in the future when I have a few dollars to spare.
2021-03-15	Eve W	Idk its might be a good game if you get into it, but i just couldn't get through five minutes of it. Not sure if its supposed to feel like you were dropped in the middle of a confusing story, but with no actual introduction to or reason to care about any of the characters or story, no indication of what you can and can't interact with or what you're supposed to be doing, and meh dialog (at least at the beginning) its just not the game for me.
2021-02-11	Taylor Elizabeth (Tay)	Really love the story and gameplay! It honestly reminds me a little of The Last Door! I cannot wait for epispde 5 to come out! I don't know if everyone is having this issue but halfway through the Christmas episode it gets stuck in Russian and makes the level unfinishable. Hopefully this will be fixed soon!!
2020-09-24	claire chua	It was fun! I enjoyed the puzzles, and the story was a ride to follow along. I especially likes the occult elements because they made everything much more interesting. I do wish Miss Cole had more of a use rather than just a source of ingredients (and a commentator...?), or that the parrot tagged along on more adventures, but I suppose I'll have to wait for the sequel to see more of them.
2020-08-21	Major McMajor	I remember playing the first episode in a separate game, and thought it had potential, but it was so short. The other episodes were locked by a pay wall, and I can't afford to buy any games. I much prefer having the cookie option, as it allowed me to play all episodes. I really enjoyed the game, and I hope to play more from you. My main complaint is that there were some errors in the English, but it didn't make the game unplayable by any means. Well done.
2020-08-18	Yevgen Klevanskyy	Nice. Witty dialogue, some simple and relaxing puzzles (except the sliding puzzle, which I hate), moderately interesting story, pixel-art graphics. Also, with some patience the game can be played for free in its entirety. Downside: lots and lots of typos, in English as well as in Russian.
2020-06-25	Trisha Santos	Came across this game and thought meh I'll give it a try and to my surpise it was better than what I expected!! The storyline is brilliant! It's comedic and fun at best! The soundtrack actually reminds me of Stranger Things. And I'm hoping that we can get more episodes to solve? Hopefully?? And the ads are great cause you can choose whenever you want to watch them! Overall, it's incredibly great I found this gem of a game :D
2020-05-24	Loki Anansi	The graphics along with no cues make this game a frustrating waste of time. You have to tap and drag your finger around HOPING to land on something that is part of the games content and not just a background prop. Because the graphics are so bad it's really a stroke of luck when you land on something.
2020-05-09	Elle TGC	The game is fun, and the puzzles through it are good. It just takes so much cookies to unlock each subsequent episode. You get 15 at the start but you can't buy the next episode until you have 18. The cookies are also used as a hint system, which is nice, lots of games make me look at a walkthrough because there are no hints. I haven't actually used any, the puzzles aren't that hard. Making each episode cost a little less cookies would be nice, but it is good that it's not a paywall.
2020-04-29	Roman Bishop	Really fun adventure puzzle game! The first episode is kind of short, but the second makes up for it in length and also by providing back story. Edit: I finished eps 3 and 4. Puzzles were fun and sometimes challenging, but part 4 had some major noticeable grammar issues. The story was still pretty good, but I got pulled out of the "zone" a few times when I couldn't tell what the characters were trying to say. If the developers need someone to help with the script, I gladly volunteer my services.
