    What a great game! But is there is any hope to have an update with subtitle option? For foreign gamers english speech is hard to understand and it will be very good to read subtitles for all dialogues in the game.

    Even just releasing the non-synchronized transcripts would be awesome.

    Are you sure that there are no subtitles? E.g. in the restaurant there are subtitles... Or do I miss something?

    Game Impressions

    I just want to add to my previous impressions, because unfortunately the negatives have won out for me here in the end. Primarily, it was finally becoming convinced of just how limiting the game really is. Particularly in light of the scope it continually alludes to, and momentarily sucks you in with, only to break that immersion shortly afterwards, again and again.

    The bottom line is, the game only allows you to do precisely what it wants you to do, and precisely when it wants you to do it. Everything else is an elaborate, but paper-thin facade. No doubt at least in part influenced by the technical limitations of when the game was originally made, but that knowledge does little to mitigate the disappointment of realising you're merely constantly being led around by your nose, as opposed to inhabiting a living, breathing world where you're afforded any semblance of choice, or potential to affect the preset course of events.

    Look out ur window!
    I'm really annoyed, I was lookn forward to this since I lovd te pc version, I deleted a couple of my apps for it (8g iPod) cause it says 1.26g app size, I now have over 2g free space guess what there's not enough space to download it apparently what's wrong with this seriously, this really annoys me since I love last express. Please write the right app size next time

    Just completed the game again (was a while, maybe 2-3 years) seeing the 'real' ending.
    Truly it is the greatest adventure of all time IMHO.
    What an ending!!!

    I miss one achievement tough (the secret one) besides the bad endings one...anyone knows what is it?

    Anyway, the iOS port is absolutely perfect.

    That is the download size, how much memory only the download uses. It needs usually 2 and a quarter times the download size free to download something as it has to install it and as such it will need to have the download size and the install size taken up at the same time.

    The listed app size is the size of the download, not the size of the final installed app or the amount required to install. You need room to decompress the app. Free up some more space.

    I completely failed to pick this up when it was on sale. I went to buy it, didn't have enough space so it failed, intended to clear space in the morning, slept and promptly forgot :/ (and I managed to miss the reduced version on GOG).

    I will play this game on day damnit!

    Lol! I see your point but still highly recommend this game.

    The level of immersion in this game is amazing. Love the voice acting and sound effects. Probably the best gaming experience I had last year.

    The period around Christmas is when the App Store has the most and lowest priced sales...

    That's not a bad idea, especially since I heard that the audio wasn't working on this currently.

    Audio worked for me, iPad 2. Brilliant title but more of an interactive soptory than a puzzle-solving adventure game; brilliant none the less. The real-time components are simply amazing, they are an innovation of themselves and out other, safer, titles to shame; it's the only adventure besides Laura Bow, to,my knowledge, where this has been attempted.

    The game still works under iOS 9, but it looks like the graphics are broken? They are flickering when you move trough the train corridors, as it seems. Can somebody please check if that's not just me?
