Amazing game

I absolutely love this game. I met the creators of this game at the Microsoft Gaming Expo in October 2019 and fell in love with the game. It challenges your mind and can keep you occupied for hours. I find my self at work just playing this game every change I get. Just wonderful!!!

Perfect little pre-Halloween puzzler

I’m about half-way through & no issues, but I will say how nice it is to see such a responsive developer. The game mechanics and puzzles are right up my alley! It does have a bit of a Monument Valley feel, but doesn’t copycat to the point of boredom. This is definitely it’s own thing. Thanks for putting it on sale, as I’ve been eyeing it for awhile. Just too strapped during COVID to shell out on an unknown quantity. Will happily purchase a level pack or new game tho!

The icon make this great game look not so attractive.

Really cool brain teaser game.

Why on earth no landscape mode option❓❓❓

Without a landscape display option, I may not be able to play the game on my ipad long enough to be able to write a thorough review — but I have to score it just to post my major niggle — so I’ll give the game a good faith three stars👍👍👍for now but with my fingers crossed🤞🤞...

Unique Puzzle Mechanic

This game uses the unique mechanic of changing light and shadow to make changes in the environment. Some puzzles are easy and some are hard. Playing the game was an enjoyable experience. The devs promptly responded to a question I had.

Unnecessarily violent

The puzzles are actually fairly good and the art/music is well-designed, but there are PROLONGED sequences of deadly violence for no real good reason? I’m not sure why we need to see someone getting beaten to death for a solid minute.

A bit of the ultra-violent

I really enjoyed the story, a little bit on the dark side, but I found it entertaining. It definitely has original puzzle mechanics. Somewhat challenging. There were a few times I just walked around until I stumbled on the solution without really understanding how I solved it.

Fun to play over and over

I hope you guys are making another game like this or add some new chapters. Absolutely, completely satisfying.

Great game

I bought this game for Android. Now that I've switched to iPad, this is the first app I've repurchased. It's unique, the graphics are great and the sounds are wonderful. Looking forward to playing it again!

An incredible experience worth any asking price.

Very atmospheric setting and intriguing puzzles. One of the best full experiences to be had on your iPhone. If the 30 second trailer looked enticing to you at all, definitely pick this game up. It definitely delivers on what you’re looking for.

Glitch

Not able to get past chapter 5 the hills family. The graves don’t move.

Good game

Thanks for fixing the crash problem! All good now. Graphics are good. Interesting puzzles change depending on how you move the shadows. Some more challenging than others.

Fantastic

Wonderful game. Beautiful art and music. Fun puzzles and story (Obe!). I had one glitch that I was able to work through. It’s different enough from Monument Valley, and, in my opinion, better.

Solid puzzler

Very cool twist and puzzle mechanic using monument valley style graphics...I really like the darker tone of the game as well

Perfect game

This game works perfectly and it’s a good challenging game.

Ok puzzler, could do without the gratuitous violent cut scenes

The puzzles are mostly good, but did we really need graphic axe murders and bloody stabbing in the cut scenes? Really?

Awesome

This game is exactly what I wanted for my train ride to school! Challenging but satisfying levels, novel concept, and interesting story arc. Hope more levels are on the way!

Monument Valley with a grim twist

This is a lovely, eerie little game, with some genuinely distressing visceral moments that belie the simple art style. Kudos to the developers! It's not terribly long or terribly replayable, but it is terribly clever.

So far so good

Cool game. Will play more. Glad it’s updated to use the iPad Pro 11” screen.

great game, very atmospheric

if you liked monument valley you’ll love this. the team is responsive to support requests. if you’ll excuse me i’m going back to play some more

Wonderful

This is a really nice puzzle-driven game. The level of challenge is just right. Sometimes the solutions are obvious, sometimes a little more challenging, but always solvable. Really enjoyed it.

Must Buy!

Fantastic title, interesting puzzles and a constant brain tease on using the shadows to manipulate the levels.

Great but...

I really enjoyed this amazing puzzle game using shadow to Chang you surroundings but I just with there were more levels to play on this app.

Great game

I met the artist this weekend at Connecticon and played a few levels. I was hooked. Great gameplay and amazing world to interact with. I’ll be looking for more from these guys in the future.

Absolutely loved it

A great puzzler with some impressive albeit rudimentary style of graphic. An intriguing story line, but make no mistake, this is not for kids. All in all great value for a buck.

Great game! Intriguing!

I Loved this game! 2 things good and bad: 1- It has an ending with a great sense of accomplishment! 2- It has an ending, which leaves you wanting more. The ending does seem a little open ended though! Please bring in a “Shadows” 2! PLEASE!!

To short but amazing

Definitely an amazing puzzler I just think that the game is way to short. It has 38 levels and I beat the game in 2 hours and 30 minutes

New user

I bought this game for Android. Now that I've switched to iPad, this is the first app I've repurchased. It's unique, the graphics are great and the sounds are wonderful. Looking forward to playing it Again!

Fun to play over and over

I hope you guys are making another game like this. Completely satisfying.

4 Negative User Reviews for Where Shadows Slumber

Violent and obtuse

Intriguing concept quickly marred by grotesquely violent cut scenes and unintuitive glitchy puzzles. Really, who was hoping their next little puzzle pastime had interludes of vicious beatings and bloody murder? Glad I didn’t recommend this to my teenager. Pales in comparison to the similar Monument Valley series.

Nice game, BUT

It’s a good game but in the process of fixing the 5-2 there is another bug in the same level called rest that makes the game unplayable again. Please fix this bug.

Not worth the money

I wish I didn’t spend five dollars on this. It’s mildly entertaining but not fun. It’s also glitchy. My game would crash sometimes when loading a level.

Not great on a smaller phones

I think I’d like this more on a tablet. Controls are wonky and crucial gameplay bits are far from obvious on the iPhone SE.
