I’ve been looking for something like this for so long. This was so fun. Please don’t stop making them!!
- nope and nopity nope · v2.2.3
If you're reading this, hit download. This is a seminal game (series) that is under-downloaded and under-discussed. A very small (2-man) team built a great puzzler. Some real headscratchers. It's a worthy entry to the legacy Myst created. The Room, House of Da Vinci, etc. I completed #1 (this game) without hints. For #2 I needed a few hints. I play without sound and skip past all the story/lore-building/reading, which made a few puzzles unsolvable for me without hints. Out of the box thinking required. Really just an impressive and difficult (comparatively) escape puzzler that the devs should feel proud of building. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Roger B. Roger · v2.1.7
genuinely one of, if not the best, escape room games i've ever played. calling it an escape room isn't even doing it justice this is a masterpiece
- alexanderftz · v2.1.7
I can’t believe this game doesn’t have more reviews, it is easily one of the best adventure escape style games I’ve played. I found it through an article “Best Adventure Games for iPad” and took a chance on it. I really enjoyed it. There are a couple of red herrings here and there which are tricky, but this really took me back to the adventure game way of thinking. Fantastic!
- StavviRR · v2.1.7
Super fun escape room game. Couldn’t complete it without the hints so thank you to the devs! Love the creepy asylum scenario. Had to google a couple of the hints but for the most part the hints were enough. LOVE this type of game, keep it up. On to Episode 2.
- CindiL · v2.1.7
I love the Forever Lost series. It’s smart, fun, challenging without being impossible. However, I re-entered the IPad “inception” game and went into the dark barn a 2nd time to get a puzzle piece and now there’s no way out. I really don’t want to start over. I sent an email for help, but no reply. Guess I’ll look for a new game.
- Nemo's Mom · v2.1.6
They make the best games!!
- Steppencat · v2.1.4
For the price, it’s an excellent value proposition. Plays kind of like Myst and other classic adventure games. The puzzles are fun and challenging; it’s a good way to spend an hour or two.
- GalacticBossanova · v2.1.4
You need to know Algebra to solve the 4 doors puzzle? How stupid. Its a game, not a test of math skills. Then you have to wait for a count of 100 to continue. We know which end of the horse created this. I happily deleted the game and moved on.
- TJ sjb · v2.1.1
Sometimes I think I’ve lived my life as an escape game, and just collected too many things.
- PhoebeD723 · v2.1.1
I couldn’t get past the glockenspiel. I used a hint which told me to do what I was already doing. I did it in perfect sync so I know I was doing it right. I see from another reviewer that there is some kind of bug. It’s frustrating to come to a screeching halt over a bug!!!
- A mom in NC · v2.1
The kiddy xylophone (lol they called glockenspiel) does let me proceed after inputting correct melody. Refund demanded.
- beetothetee · v2.1
Just finished playing Forever Lost Episode 1 again. Really love the unique puzzles on a foundation of mystery and spooky surroundings. Highly recommended!
- Debbie from Tijeras · v2.0.4
I loved this game so much! I got it last night and have already finished the entire story, and I’m currently downloading episode 2. The game has a really good plot and story it had the perfect amount of puzzling but also easy things to level it out my favorite room was probably the nursery (idk why, it’s so creepy lol) I suggest anyone reading this review downloads it if they’re thinking it might look bad. My only issue with this game is that when I used the UV light I couldn’t move it around but when I watched a walkthrough they could. I’m assuming this is just because the game is old but it really needs to be fixed because since this was an issue for me I couldn’t solve the symbol puzzle where you push them in down inside of the guard room. Other then that this was an amazing game and worth the money definitely deserves the 4 stars.
- EbLovesDuckTales33 · v2.0.4
We played The Room and Da Vinci series and wanted to find something similar, but had high expectations. This series was amazing. By Episode 3 we kept saying how great it was. If you love puzzle games this is MUST!
- B&D in Cali · v2.0.4
Horrible scene went black in waiting room can’t see anything
- redcupsarefun · v2.0.4
I truly enjoyed this one, fun and good puzzles
- Msjennlee · v2.0.4
Boring, predictable, depressing, simple, perfect for a disturbed 9 year old. Made me sick to my stomach being locked in a psych ward. Awful. Just awful.
- Chaos Attractor · v2.0.4
I love these games and bought them all, but on episode 1, the reception computer is not accepting the username that is written on the notepad as a clue. I really hope I don’t have to reset it because I’ve come so far but I’m pretty much helpless at this point and can’t continue without it!
- xMrsMindyx · v2.0.3
I completed all 3 versions of this game. I was impressed with the graphics, story line and amount of really thoughtful puzzle challenges. If you like escape rooms, you will love this game. Warning: you won’t want to put it down. Rabbit hole after rabbit hole! Keep a pen and paper handy! Good luck. Try not to cheat .... the game will last longer!
- nikoman120 · v2.0.3
I enjoyed the game and it was just challenging enough to be fun. But I couldn’t even figure out how to get the hints! And some instructions for puzzles would be helpful.
- Mholbrook81 · v2.0.3
My only complaint is that the background music is a tad bit too creepy for me, but I can simply turn it down. I know most people aren’t as much of a weenie as I am, I 100% recommend this game
- Silver the Bread Kittener · v2.0.3
I wanted to give a 5 or at least a 4 star rating but just couldn’t. I had just played House of Da Vinci and was expecting it to be more like that. I can’t help but still wonder what the purpose of the wall painting was. I tried to use it in several places and never could. The game is dark and difficult to see things but I thought it was because I played it on my ipad. I personally think it should be a .99 cent game or even free.
- Anana6450 · v2.0.2
The game is good. Some of the puzzles are simple. It needs a clear way to get out of the “Iception” mini-game on the iPad in the Waiting Room. I learned you can exit the ICeption mini-game by taking the road that runs below the river off the screen to the right. It’s not intuitive or clear. A sign would be helpful. Other reviewers have mentioned that there isn’t a way out. I also struggled with this for at least 10min. The app will restart you in the mini-game even after shutting down and restarting, leaving players only with the choice of resetting the game and starting over. You don’t have to do that... Take the road to the right.
- Sandman... · v2.0.2
I love it! So many of these games I never can complete because the clues are so vague and weird, or I solve all the mysteries in ten minutes. Each of these games takes me about three or four days. The clues make sense without being super easy. The clues are memorable too, so if I see something familiar I can actually go find where I saw it before. Overall, <3 five stars easy.
- Help with this stupid thing · v2.0.2
This game has potential to be fun. I love escape room type games, and this was enjoyable until the developers let me down. Please look to see when the last game update was. By June 2020 it had been at least a year since an update. I wish I didn’t purchase the entire set of 3 - but I have seen that Ep 2 and 3 are better than Ep 1. 1- A previous Reviewer noted a glitch in with the iPad game “Inception” that was a year ago- and it still hasn’t been resolved. I too had to restart the entire episode because a clue I needed an answer to. HINT: wait until you have a pair of Glasses to play on the iPad. 2- Game Glitch: In the Storage Room there is a puzzle on the wall. After you find the clue to solve it- it will not solve! I have restarted the game twice now, I have restarted my phone. It still will not solve. Other puzzles depend on this one puzzle to be solved first, and now I cannot finish the game.
- SKMagic · v2.0.2
After loads of frustration finally gave up and went to a walkthrough. Turns out it wasn’t me, the game isn’t working properly....SPOILERS - no door required a token and the wall for the mirror won’t allow me to use it, though I’ve tried any number of times. I don’t appreciate this when I’ve paid for an app. Glad I didn’t buy all three at once. Too bad, because I was really enjoying.
- g3d2002 · v2.0.2
I went back into the maze and now it will not let me out. The first time through it was easy but now I follow the arrows and the game sends me back. According to the walkthroughs there are no other items to gather. Is this a bug? Just got into Chapter 2 and it immediately froze on letter. I can’t even reset the chapter.,
- reggie2:0 · v2.0.2
When I installed the game, an ad for Veritas popped up and cannot be closed, making the game completely unplayable.
- JLAx2 · v2.0.2
Every time I go to any screen, a flash of an advertisement for “veritas” come up. It’s very hard to focus on the game when every second there is an advert in my face.
- FoopyDoop · v2.0.2
I adore every Glitch Games release and it all started with FL1. This game is excellent. I’ve played through multiple times. It’s shorter than their other games, but it’s a great intro into the gameplay and mechanics, not to mention a killer storyline. I hardly ever review any apps/games, but this one definitely deserves 5 stars and more. Keep up the good work, guys! I love your games!
- SyllabaryBisque · v2.0.2
So far no need for walk through. Game is fun and just the right amount of challenge for me. I highly recommend it. NO pixel perfect issues like in other games. Well worth buying! MENSA types will find game too easy.
- Tpkyt · v2.0.2
I’d love to give it a 5 star rating but I am unable to complete the game due to a glitch.
- Jes 03 · v2.0.2
This was fun. Not too hard for an adult. Sad to see some glitches in the programming. Specifically, when finishing the game I had to do a close and open again. For the novice, ie my 7 yo maybe it won’t be too obvious.
- M Du · v2.0.2
Okay so I thought the first one was better but omg this was outstanding
- panda 1991 · v2.0.2
I really enjoyed this game. It was challenging yet not too obscure. It was relatively short compared to the other 3 but still had many clever puzzles.
- Addicted sdku · v2.0.2
I loved the first one so much that I bought the other two immediately! They really do get better with each game. I love the puzzles, the music, the plot, etc. I wish there were more games like this!
- JLWelsh · v2.0.2
Only get a black screen
- Lindizzxzx · v2.0.2
I am obsessed! I just completed episode 1 and am on to episode 2 now! Well worth the buy!!!
- AMKNZ80 · v2.0.2
At the end, when I clicked on the wall of monitors, my Back Arrow and all other buttons disappeared. I had to close the game and restart it, then all the buttons came back and I was able to move again.
- MsKista · v2.0.2
Too many disconnected clues and items that follow no logical approach. Using hints and walkthroughs required to make any progress. I like a challenging puzzle but for me, these are a bit far fetched. Hate I wasted money on this game but glad I didnt spring for the 3 pack!
- Pjoe1954 · v2.0.2
It’s a fun game but how are you supposed to solve the glockenspiel? I have the radio set to the right station but when I tap the glockenspiel nothing happens, so I can’t move on.
- iWin_spaghetti · v2.0.2
I bought the three pack because it was cheaper to get them all together. I wasn’t sure if I would like them but figured I would try. I was disappointed with the first episode and the short time it took to play. I thought I had wasted my money. Episodes 2&3 are amazing. I would recommend playing this one if only for the storyline.
- Raefray · v2.0.2
After finding 6 of the items needed to escape, got stuck in the mini gnome game and could not go back or exit!! Even restarted the game and still same result. After thisd attempt, game will not even startup! Get the bugs out, or refund my cost for episode one!!
- ggbcomibu · v2.0.0
I am stabbing the mattress with the knife but it is not revealing what is inside. Help?
- Sydney Lademan · v1.9.1
It’s happening more frequently that the back arrow disappears and I’m stuck on that particular zoom-in screen until I reboot my phone. I’m enjoying the game but this bug is enough to make me quit.
- ra5bury · v1.9.1
Loved it! Even though I couldn’t open one hint. Not sure if that’s the design of the game to only place a check mark next to the hint if you’ve accomplished that task? However I absolutely loved this game. 5star status for sure!
- Swthrt1 · v1.9.1
Too many bugs.
- DC Tim · v1.9.1
Just downloaded this game based on the reviews but every time I go to a room and try to click on something it sends me back to the first room, very annoying!!! I want my money back!
- craZy_boy2456 · v1.9.1
After searching and searching I’ve finally found the perfect escape game!!! It’s just difficult enough to really make you think ( and sometimes stump you) but logical so the puzzles aren’t impossible.
