As usual, a good solid game, but a bit pricey
Sat Feb 06 2021 Almighty CloudI love fire maple games, the atmosphere and exploration is always very fun. Was it 4 bucks worth of fun? Honestly, no, it's 1, maybe 2 bucks worth. I'm okay to pitch in a bit extra to help out a smaller developer, but there's a point where I raise my eyebrow a bit if there isn't enough content to justify the price.
I'm not angry, and I'm not going to rate it poorly because of the overpricing, but I do want to let the developer know that they are testing their limits, and for some, this will be too much.
Despite how much I like the games, I will definitely be checking the reviews next time to make sure it's worth the cost, instead of jumping in like I did for this game.
Soooo fun. Hours of fantastic fun puzzle story
Tue Jan 12 2021 AlrightalexFire Maple Games are classic. Such gorgeous artistry and care taken for beautiful details. I get lost in the gorgeous locations and sometime just like to tool around and see the details without playing the game.
I’m not a gamer and I find these games hard, but frustrating in a fun way. I find myself thinking about the puzzle throughout the day and have epiphany moments “omg! I know where that key goes!!” And I run to my phone to get to the next section.
I hope they continue to make these games. Not everyone wants games to shoot things and speed around.
I haven’t even completed this game yet. I like to savor it.
Always 5 stars!
Good game, but with bugs
Tue Jun 29 2021 wave zeroI love the developer, they make such great games, so much fun. I enjoyed this game, and on my third play through it had a game ending bug. When I completed the block puzzle correctly, the game didn’t let me advance. Suddenly a window popped up showing the block puzzle room. The screen froze and the game would not restart. The next day same thing, there was the main screen to continue, but the game would freeze, and show a pop up window of the block puzzle room. I had to delete the game, bummer. I love games with Egyptian themes, and this was a good one while it lasted.
Fun Game
Wed May 12 2021 AMT2199I remember playing Lost City in grade school so you can imagine my excitement when I see new games like this. The graphics are beautiful as always. It’s not the best game from Fire Maple, as some of the previous games boasted more interesting and creative puzzles. However, I did enjoy the story and appreciated the fact that the characters didn’t stretch out when talking like they did in Thickety Creek.
Short, very short, but still fun
Sun Aug 29 2021 kn2I own pretty much all of their games. This one was okay but took a very short time to complete which was a big disappointment as I was looking forward to a real diversion. The graphics are similar in quality to previous games by Fire Maple, not in the league of Blackthorn Castle (which is amazing) but much better than others.
I would have rated it higher if it cost less, it was just too short for the price - it almost felt like a “lite” version.
That said, I’ll still buy their future products. It’s hard to find developers who can come up with interesting, quality games in this genre. Thank you for putting out quality products. Next time - a longer, more involved game please!
Also, fast pass ability in the map would be really nice, if the game is involved enough to make it worth the effort/cost to add.

Sat Apr 24 2021 Tbhorses55I am a bit disappointed with this game so far, as compared to earlier games there is far less detail in the rooms (less items to click on, so less to give you bits of information). This makes the puzzles seem rather straightforward and takes away from the mystery-solving aspect of the game.
I really love these games for their detail and atmosphere, but would hope for a bit more of the nuance of earlier games to return in the future.
Great Games!
Sun Nov 14 2021 mlrwI love these games. They are fun with just the right amount of challenge. With the hints, even the younger family members can enjoy them without getting too frustrated as in many other games. Thank you, and keep them coming. We own them all.
Way too short and easy
Tue Jan 26 2021 textombI love Fire Maple games, but what happened here? About an hour and a half of gameplay at this price is pretty unacceptable. It was also really easy- I just zipped right through it without ever getting stumped at all. On the bright side, this is a great game for kids.
Devs, c’mon. This is a step down from your earlier games.
But as always the story is engaging (even if it does just suddenly end), and the graphics are great.
