Until the app fixes the add issue giving useless laggy adds that don't give a point for watching these insufferable and annoying adds that are not giving points the rating will be 1 star

Oh my god This is honestly the best game out of all that you have created. Each character had so much potential and you have outdone yourself this time. The art? Amazing. The story? Fabulous. The scenes? *dies*

Absolutely loved all the characters here—theyre all unique and lovable at the same time. I also found the choices where Sherlock would ask us questions quite intriguing, i hope you add this in your future games! ><

Good game to be honest. I honestly loved the plot and it excites me whenever the story moves to another event that is honestly so enjoyable. And the detective kinda stuff or whatever it's called is so fun in my opinion. I'd wish for you guys to add that to another game that you'll soon make.

10 out of 10!! This was a really good story!! (Great job Developers) 🩷✨️🩷✨️🩷 And I really loved how we can give our own thoughts when Sherlock would give us questions about the case. And I really liked that one part where we Investigate the crime and pick things to check. And the lore for each character/ personality. Was wonderful to see. I really enjoyed the game.

ISBDJANSKSNSJ Sherlock immediately caught my attention, he's incredibly handsome (seriously, chef’s kiss) He’s definitely a standout in the game for me. (all characters are good looking too) The storyline is good, though I found the mystery aspect a little predictable. I love it, def my fav 2nd genius inc game. I hope you make more otome games, and make a GL one! <3

Ok, this is my absolute favourite of Genius' games. It was the first game which I loved each character so much, the choice at the end was really difficult. I've been a fan of Genius Inc games for about 3-4 years now, and I have played through a LOT of their games, but I'd say this one is at the top. I would love if there was a new season, though I don't know how difficult that would be. Overall, this is a great game, would 100% recommend

it's a good game, only problems I have is that the rubies don't Regnerate daily, so it's hard to constantly do cut scenes you want because you don't have a lot of rubies, it is not ftp and very much a whale game so, be ware for hours of struggling just to get 2 extra rubies if you don't want to spend money.

OH MY GOSH! You have NO IDEA how I'm in shock to see my favorite detective novel series combined with fantasy romance!!!! The character designs, the storyline was definitely on the next level. I'm not gonna spoil the story for players, BUT the plot twist was so unexpected! The game portrays each character's unusual behaviors & manners, unique way of expressing their love beautifully and romantically. I can't even count how many times I've replayed this. Definitely recommend this.

This is a really interactive game with a good plot and engaging conversations. The way Sherlock and the other characters speak gives the old London vibes. Just like any other game you need tickets to continue the story and rubies to make premium choices. However you can earn points by playing other games and get tickets & rubies using these points instead of buying them with money. This is a good game even though I haven't even reached halfway through the story.

A really good story, with very in depth characters, but they are all super lovable and feel very genuine. The overall plot is...predictable from the start, but the story telling is still superb and engaging. Like any Genius Game, as long as you have a lot of patience you can experience the whole game, with all premium choices, by watching lots of ads. The Premium Choices all felt good in my opinion and even all endings felt equally thought out. One of the best for sure. Love Holmes the most <3

I downloaded the game because of the rates and it didn't fail me. It was an excellent experience, great story and absolute 5 STAR. However, as a broke human being I did not have alot of gems to choose every premium choices, also did not have other option than paying (it's expensive bro). It's the only flaw tho. Well, you need money have great experience so, it's up to you. A lil suggestion, I just hope that there are more expressions, actions, and bit of animation of what's going on.

Ngl the story was nice but pretty predictable even without the identity of the killer shown in the beginning of the game. The worst thing about this game though, is that there's a limited number of ways to earn the currency needed for premium choices. Either you download an app or go to a website (or even pay), play the slot machine mini game, or just pay real money. I managed to complete everything without paying though, just with the mini game. You just really need to be patient with the ads.

The best game from Genius, hands-down. I did feel that the killer's identity was pretty obvious, though, and MC got over the killer's reveal a bit too quickly considering their history, his motives, and her initial reactions. But aside from that, I absolutely loved this one and hope to see more seasons for it soon.

The story is interesting, the visuals are very striking and the characters are attractive. Unfortunately, it requires too many micropayments and the gameplay becomes somewhat frustrating and unenjoyable because the game becomes: buy the good ending or accept the average/bad ending. It also contains a lot of in-game advertising (most of it playable), and you forget what you were playing. The other ways to get coins are: answer 300 questions for 15 coins.
