The Rivers of Alice

Like many others, this game would not open. In the bottom right corner there is a small cocoon looking illustration. Other than that, it is a black screen. Too bad. And to top it off, no refund.

Can't play. I can just add here a quotation from a previous reviewer: "Like many others, this game would not open. In the bottom right corner there is a small cocoon looking illustration. Other than that, it is a black screen. Too bad."

Game will not open on my samsung galaxy s7.hope they fix this problem.

Won't open the game. So sad, it looks great!

The game won't open, please fix this

Simply a brilliant game

Great eye candy, and nice dreamy music for a game that really has no storyline or makes much sense. You solve one puzzle to get you to the next puzzle with very minimal in game hints But use them and use your noggin'! It's not easy but it's not too hard. I chose not to throw in the towel and finished it, in about 4 days. If patience is not your fortay, this game is not for you. It's definitely a thinking game.

I have to say, I'm really liking this so far. I usually get through these kinds of games fairly quickly, but this one is a bit more challenging than I'm used to. Sound and graphics are also quite nice. I do have a gripe though: I was in the middle of the game when the app crashed, right after collecting something. When I restarted it, everything seemed to be back to normal, but the item was neither where it should have been, nor in my inventory. I really hope I won't have to replay the whole thing...

Great game very challenging! Every scene has such lovely detail and music. My only criticism is that the game would freeze up at certain parts, so you couldn't save your progress. This meant exiting the game and loading it again only to try again.

Really want to like it but I'm already stuck in the cave. Candle keeps going out and went to sloth and wasn't much help. Please help so frustrating.

Really disappointed, it took me ages to work out how to set the game to English, there is no way to turn off the annoying audio, and the gameplay makes snails look positively speedy, annoyed with myself for leaving it to download and missing the refund window.

I sent an email to the developer with no answer. Once installed, I cannot open it. It appears some kind of worm and it never starts. Any help?

Thank you so very much for the new extended version. Btw I don't know if you have fixed the bug issue that makes the game hang & impossible to continue because of the missing pipe knob where you meet up with the eyeball monster robot. If you tap the lamp inside the building where the eye monster it hangs and freezes up the game. There's a programming bug there. Its inside those 3 buildings where you complete the steam room puzzle. Thanks hope you have fixed. Your story telling is great

I unfortunately can only give it 4. I nearly gave it 3. This is the reason . every time I attempted certain tasks and couldn't accomplish them the first attempt, I would lose the ability to re-try. Example: throwing rock at beehive to distract woman,couldn't get sand in fast enough then everything seemed to reset. Reinstall. Now the same thing is happening in the boiler room. There is NO second handle where it was before so I can create steam for the spider room. EXTREMELY frustrating. Tired of starting completely over. Please fix. This is truly one of my favorite games and would love to finish it. Please don't be like all other devs and ignore this. Thank you. Colin.

I would have Given this game a 4..As it was different and the graphics were very nice and artsy. Great thinking game..here's the problem. When I got to 75% of the game being finished..I picked up an item and when I went to use it it wasn't in the tool box..nor was it where I found it. VERY ANNOYING! Restarted the entire game...got back to that same spot and the glitch happened again. This time I saved every 5 seconds however so if I had to go back I could. But what a pain! It's a game great for playing ONCE.

After IT COMPLETELY FROZE @ 40% completion, I looked into it & a lot, a lot, a lot of people have had same issue. Not to mention dev never answers emails or any correspondence. It's a shame too. Such a lovely lovely game!!!

Love the atmosphere and overall quality. My only complaint would be that sometimes ill try to get the interaction dots to show up and my character will move instead. That was especially frustrating on the puzzle where you play back her notes because I made her replay the tune so many times. Would still recommend.

I like the graphics and sound, some of the puzzles are really nice... But the controls are terrible and some of the items to collect and figure out make no sense. The controls are that annoying that I can't be bothered finishing the game. Overpriced.

I have been enjoying this game, but am not enjoying the tightrope walk. Not sure if it is the accelerometer in my phone, but I cannot calibrate. Frustrating! I find I need to jiggle the phone rapidly which feels really wrong for tightrope walking....

Beautiful game! Very challenging and the music is totally calming. I love it, but somehow I am stuck in the building, I've solved the wire puzzle but I can't find the tap (to turn the water) anywhere... it's very frustrating now, not sure if It's a glitch or I did a mistake.

Great game, love the art, love the challenges. Two reasons for missing a star: 1. Though I love the music, I wish for the option to mute it. 2. It was kind of hard to find the spots to tap in order to walk to the next scene. I didn't realize I could hold my finger down to search for interactive things for over an hour.

Ridiculius. It makes no sense, it is boring, and they do not use words, but pictures. Waste of time and money. I want a refund

The riddles can be hard, but you can get hints (free) if you get stuck. I really liked the beautiful music.

Hey guys, great game, love the puzzles... but you have some sadistically designed controls. Could you make it harder to press the back button like during the circuit breaker puzzle? I keep accidentally clicking out of it.

Great game very challenging! Every scene has such lovely detail and music. My only criticism is that the game would freeze up at certain parts, so you couldn't save your progress. This meant exiting the game and loading it again only to try again.

If your impatient this probably isnt for you but if your willing to put some time into to figure things out you'll love this Game. The hardest part was the end. and don't worry if you can't figure out the eyeball with metal spider legs. I never figured out what the hint system was trying to tell me and it still let me beat the Game without completing that job.(slight spoiler Tip) there is a trick to the final Aztec wheel looking puzzle. It involves pressing the jewel and sliding the wheel

I haven't moved since I downloaded this. Very relaxing music and satisfying puzzles. Sloth was helpful enough so I didnt need to go online when I got stuck. Thanks for a beautiful experience!

The aesthetics of the game are reasonable. Some of the puzzles can be challenging, which isn't bad, but some don't provide enough feedback as to if you're even getting the right idea; even a cryptic response to your actions in a puzzle is a better design than no response at all. I've finally gotten to an interactive part which requires tilting the device. Since there's no calibration of the device and no indication outside of the character's minimal movement it's difficult to know if I'm tilting the device in the correct plane that the game is expecting... and the character lacks nuance and responsiveness enough in its movement to let me know how my movements are/are not making a difference. Yes, a more fluid on-screen indicator would break some of the game atmospherics, but this part of the game basically being unplayable doesn't help in that goal either. My tablet, too, may be a problem, but without sufficient feedback in game... I can never know.

A wonderful mix of exploring, admiring, enjoying and thinking out of the box. Beautifully made and accompanied by relaxing and atmospheric music that lures you away from this world for a while. Tricky puzzles that challenge your thinking - frustrating at times, but I'm glad it wasn't the other way around. I actually played this on my LG Nexus 5, which was tiny, but it worked really well considering. As for improvements, I'd wish for a bit more detailed steering of the character which was a bit too simple at times.

It's games like this one that make me believe that gaming has a place in the art scene. The illustrations are breathtaking and have their very unique style, the music and sound is an integral part of the game and the tracks are beautiful and linger in your head, the gameplay is challenging but not to the point that it makes you too frustrated and you get a very rewarding feeling as you move forward through the game. It could be longer, but due to its challenging nature, it gave me a couple of weeks to go through. Everytime I was stuck, I would close the game and ponder on the solution. And everytime I came back I eventually found it. There is one bad thing I have to say about it: the game would sometimes get stuck andor crash, and one time I had to reload from a previous save because an item completely disappeared from the game altogether after it crashed. But to me those are small details, normal for an indie game like this. It didn't ruin the experience and I still believe it deserves five stars all together.

This game looks lovely but the user interface is massively frustrating and almost impossible to use. Found myself jabbing at the screen in frustration while alice walks off in the opposite direction. Shame would have enjoyed this game if only it wasn't so difficult to control.

Although the graphics and the feel of the game are beautiful, my Nexus 7 does not seem to like the touch element of the game. This results in lots of frustration on my part as I really want to play but it takes an eternity of tapping to get a response. Very sad to uninstall but I'd like space for games I can play.

This game is a classic, and is just as much a work of art as it is a game! The animation, the music and integration of both within the game play is genius. The only reason a 5 wasn't given was because of the tedious and unnecessary difficulty of some of the tasks, which were solved only by a joint effort of brute force and sheer luck. I can only imagine that these were implemented as a method to make the game play last longer. Well worth the money spent, and looking forward to the next instalment of something similar.

I esp liked the OST. It wasn't too difficult nor very long. Some bugs: Athena/Arachnid's: the interactive spot of the rock behind Athena disappeared before I solved the fast timer Envy's: it'd glitch sev times and I'd to restart. I heard clicking when selecting inventory, but items no show. Interactive spots'd appear w/ their actions but Alice not move. I've nexus 5 kitkat 4.4.2 w/ ART runtime. Though I enjoyed it I think with the bugs, challenge lv and length it shouldn't be more than$2

l LOVED this game! The graphics and relaxed music were great! l love this Style. Also, the difficulty of the puzzles Was just about right. It's too bad there aren't more games like this. My only complaint is that it's a bit too short . l rarely pay for apps so When I do I want the game to last for more than a few hOurs . But please Make another, l would definitely buy it!

After IT COMPLETELY FROZE @ 40% completion, I looked into it & a lot, a lot, a lot of people have had same issue. Not to mention dev never answers emails or any correspondence. It's a shame too. Such a lovely lovely game!!!

I love this app, but i cant find the hint system that another reviewer talked about! Can someone help please??

This game is just so beautiful; the hand drawn artwork, the music and imagination, ahh. The puzzles are quite challenging also. Very recommended.

I love puzzle games but this one doesn't make sense to me. There's not enough help and some of the help given is incorrect

Interesting atmosphere but the usability could be better. I accidentally switched to basque and couldnt find back. Icons would be useful for instance. Also pressing the back button would feel like closing the menu first instead of closing the app completely. Still beside some small ux flaws this looks promising so far. But seriously - do you need permission for recording with my microphone ??? Sorry, I dont trust this.
