but the ad system is wack💀 I thought the reload was for all six tickets. Turns out it was only one and I was dumbfounded. Waiting almost half an hour for one ticket. I've been watching 30s ads while I waited too. Booo. Might change my review if I finish/ update I have deleted some stuff so I could write this. The storyline was awesome. I really love this game and I finished in no time. Give it a go once you get past all the wack ads and stuff lol 4.8/10

Life Gallery (the demo version or chapter one) is a story-centered game about a kid with one eye. It's told in a series of pictures where you solve puzzles through simple interactions. It's amazing in creating an unsettling atmosphere with the dark colors, the mural-like designs, and the creepy music. The story itself also brings its own unsettling ideas of cults and isolation. Assuming the rest of the game follows this format, it makes for a great simple method of telling a dark narrative. 5/5.

Interesting premise and style but the "puzzles" are almost all awful. Most of them are trial and error, with no real indication of what to do, and not in a good way. Without spoilers, one in particular was a series of different colours that created different things. There was at least 20 colours, and no indication of which one could be correct besides trying each one individually. That's not fun gameplay. The occasional good puzzle was overwhelmed by the bad.

The gameplay was pretty fun and challenging, and the art style reminds me a lot of the Forgotten Hill series which I love. The ticket system was kind of annoying but definitely not as bad as other games I've played. The big problem for me is the storyline. It makes no sense, I honestly feel like the game would be so much better without a story.

Get game! But the puzzles are little too hard for me, although I'm not very good at puzzles some of them just don't really make any sense like the first one, it makes very little sense and I took me so long to figure out how you actually do it. I wish there was a way to get hints whether it was to be watching ads or not I never really mind watching apps to get rewards. Minus from that from that this game is beautiful! I love the art style and the story is so interesting!

While yes, there may be a play to finish aspect here...you can get the rest of the chapters really cheap. In my opinion it's most definitely worth the small amount of money spent. This game is honestly more of an interactive piece of art than a "game." It has a very dark & interesting story line, really cool stylized graphics, & some really neat puzzles that definitely make you use your brain a little. I really thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

I absolutely love the game and it's visuals, but the puzzles themselves are incredibly short and with you only having six tickets at a time with it taking about thirty minutes to respawn them it doesn't really seem all that fair. Especially in the early levels. My advice would to be to add a few more puzzles per level instead of one each.

This game was so satisfying. Shout out to the artists & music producers! I loved the surreal style of the game. As soon as I opened the game, the ambience & music, combined with the visual style gave me an instant sense of uncomfort. The story was well developed. Only complaint is the moth puzzle in Chapter 4 where you have to collect them, since it took forever to complete, & it felt like it lacked strategy. Other than that one puzzle, you guys did a great job! I'd love a sequel lol

extremely artistic and bizarre just the wayI like it. But for me, I just can't get over greedy advertising in games. I was going to write this long explanation of why it's a greedy practices with advertising in your game, but the bottom line is, too many ads, Itoo long to wait. the cool art is not enough. you say it's free to play but really it's not, it's forced to pay and we all want to watch ads to support, there's a limit,and this is crossed over into greedy limit...pass

It does feel like an interactive art gallery. The style is lovely and daring, I haven't seen a game with the same style before. It's dark and engrossing. If you're into Salad Fingers or Junji Ito, you'll probably appreciate it. Each vignette is a puzzle. They were mainly casual but leaned more cryptic a couple times, and only one relied on my fast reflexes. You can play six of the puzzles at a time, and your ticket that allow you to play more recharge over time, or you can pay for more. Awesome.

I ended up buying the full version of the game. For $1.99 I felt it was worthwhile. The good: awesome art style, the music sets the right mood, and the story was intriguing! The bad: I felt the puzzles were overly simplistic. It also felt a bit choppy transitioning to other parts like it did. I found myself confused regarding how certain characters died and what happened to one character who vanished from the story altogether. Maybe I just blinked and missed it? But overall, I enjoyed it!

This game is great! The puzzles arent too hard, but i do wish there was a hint button. Sometimes i got stuck and had to just mess around until something happened. The art is amazing, the story is eerie, i do wish it was longer. You have to pay to unlock the 3 other parts of the story. It is a great game, i really hope they add more content or make a part 2. Definitely worth the download.

Very Creepy, as if rusty lake and forgotten hill had a one eyed evil cult baby. Almost each slide has a puzzle. No explanations, but if you click around a bit it's very simple and easy to solve them. I'm not sure I agree with the price tag, since I played the entire game in only an hour or so, but the art was great. Could've also used a bit more to the story, a bit more detail to the one line of story you get after completing puzzles.

Absolutely extraordinary. I only played the first chapter which was free but I found the game to be riveting and innovative. It was challenging at times without being frustrating or impossible, it just encouraged me to think about a problem differently. Ive never seen a game designed this way or presented like this. It was dark but not depressing, just an interesting and strange story that makes me want more. The team did a great job developing a solid game.

More like a 4.5 stars for me, only because a few puzzles are confusing and I had to google them. If there was a system for hints, even watching a quick ad, that would make it a proper 5 I think. The art style really lends to the unsettling nature of the storyline and I like how much is left unexplained for players to interpret. The ticket mechanic doesn't bother me, as much as I'd love to blitz through it all at once. Genuinely deserves a higher rating, in my humble opinion. Good work devs :)

Love the visuals and storytelling, the gameplay is pretty horrific. I got stuck a few times, googled how to do it, and discovered the solution is what I had already done multiple times, just not on the correct, yet small portion of the screen, or I had tapped instead of dragged on an object that was previously vice versa. There are some fascinating puzzles hidden beneath the jank, though.

This game is beautiful, and creepy, and just overall bizarre, three things I love about puzzle games. It has Fran-Bow vibes, and I enjoyed it, the puzzles were a little challenging at times, but they should be, they're puzzles. However, after playing the free chapter, I purchased the premium version, and it played great, but I went back in the next day, and it was like my purchase was no longer recognized. Maybe this is just a bug, and if so, please fix it, cuz I'd love to play more of the game.

A 3.5. I really enjoy the art style and the intriguing story, but you can tell that that is what the team was most specialized in. The puzzles weren't difficult, but so many revolve around just memorizing a sequence that involved guess and checking. If you don't get it right, you gotta start all over. The most annoying ones are the ones that take a while to set up. Like hey, that animation was cool the first few times I saw it, but not the tenth. It's artificially inflating playtime

I just started playing, and maybe I need to give it more of a chance but the ticket system is not doing it for me. The visuals so far are interesting, and the story seems nice too but it's definitely more of a story game than a puzzle game. You only get 6 tickets to start, and that lasts a whole 5 minutes of "game play". It doesn't seem like a bad game or anything, but it doesn't seem all that amazing either :/

I think this is a tragic story for someone looking to be loved only to waste everything. Has some nice visuals, disturbing implications to certain characters. The puzzles are unique and aren't hard as some people claim it. Sometimes you stumble across a clue and try to replicate it. So that you're able to move on. Only was stuck on 3 to 4 puzzles, out of all 54. I didn't waste time on the ads like other people. Just pay 2 dollars and move forward. It's stops you from enjoying the context.
