Community Insight:
All the Forgotten Hill games are very well-made, amazing graphics and sounds, and the puzzles are tricky but not impossible. We bought the full version of Disillusions and it is WELL WORTH the money. Awesome job.
It was great. Really loved the introduction of the camera to give new perspectives on clues. Thought we had reached our limit and ran out of places to look before finally getting the camera and moving along nicely. Some of these puzzles are tricky as far as knowing what to do but we were able to figure it all out and finish the first (free) part within a few hours. Lots and lots of fun. Not gonna pay the $4.99 for the rest only because we dont spend money on mobile games. Ill probably go and download other games from this series/developer.
The Library is the first part of Forgotten Hill Disillusion. You play it for free and decide whether to unlock the rest of Disillusion. We paid the $4.99 for the unlock and it was well worth it. Ads were removed and hints were available for that price. (Note that this is not true of all FH games. We recently downloaded FH Fall, paid $1.99 to get rid of ads, then then discovered that we were still getting long ads when accessing hints. The developer wanted an additional $5.99 to remove the ads from hints! No sale there, and that game was very short to boot.) Game play here was very long. Some puzzles were obscure, but not impossible. You have to be observant. We liked the fact that, after giving you two hints to help you, the third hint completed the puzzle giving you a skip option. This was very helpful for the kind of puzzles where you are spinning rings, etc. Those drive us crazy and after Ive been at it a while, Im happy to throw in the towel. The camera was useful. The storyline was good. All in all, though its no House of DaVinci, and not quite as good as Rusty Lake Cube series, this was one of the better games Ive played in a while.
We NEVER rate anything 5 stars, but this game earned it. We had doubts about unlocking the full version, but the depth was amazing, and the length was just right -not too long, not too short; it didnt drag, and it didnt leave us feeling empty. We got a better gameplay experience from this than we have on a lot of higher-cost games. Im really finding ourselves reluctant to give any specific examples or anecdotes to back our review, but its because we dont want to throw any spoilers out there. Like we said, though, this one is 100% worth getting the full/paid version.
We play a lot of escape games and this is the ONLY review we've ever given. We loved it. The main reason is that along your journey you pick-up books with info on characters, species, art, etc. And the beauty is that within each text are a plethora of clues that help you navigate the space and give more life to the story! It is more than "see three colors and find three colored" things. We think colors were only used a few times minimally. You genuinely have to examine what you've got and how each level interacts with the info you e found. The camera feature which allows you to see a "different reality" is quite nice for discovering new clues and it leads you to unexpected places (eventually). Plus, four obvious levels turns into 8 and and a bonus round to play with several bosses you have to outwit. The only downsides we ran into was that the ? Button, which we assumed would be hints, didn't work so online tutorials got us thru sticky parts. We especially wished there was a way to skip a game you had to play 9 times total (3x each level) to keep going. Alas, the tutorials the developer has on YouTube helped us through that game as its type of logic thinking wasn't our strong suit. Overall, we had a blast with game and highly recommend it to other escape experts as a genuinely exciting new take that we have been waiting for forever.
If you like horror and puzzles then this is the game for you.
We cant get it to zoom in on the mechanical owl. The keys is placed but thats it. Can someone help.
We love this game, but we are currently stuck in the final level, unable to remove the sun and moon paintings from the wall no matter how much we click on them. Im so close to the end that we dont want to re-start everything.
While it is a challenging game, at the very end where you use the revolver to kill the guard, its not clear whether the revolver is automatically selected so you can shoot or if you have to select it manually and then shoot. Ive tried it both ways, and neither works. Rather sick of dying repeatedly due to a bug.
Every time we use the camera in the room with the plant, the game crashes. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it did not fix the issue and neither did syncing it after reinstalling it. Waste of 5 bucks.
We had no bug issues on our iPad (6th gen). Loved the game. Just The right amount of difficulty. Good hint system. Long gameplay worth 4.99 easy. If you like rusty lake, forever lost, etc we highly recommend this. We will be downloading all their other games now.
Excellent. We rarely ever spend money on games for our phone, so we kind of begrudgingly hit the purchase button out of boredom. So glad we did though! You get a LOT of game for the price and we thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The puzzles are clever and tricky and super satisfying to solve. The ~only~ thing we were wishing for (mostly toward the end) was an option to fast travel with the maps. Other than that, our expectations were overwhelmingly exceeded. Great job, devs.
We love forgotten hill games and this one has a ton of history on the town! A dark and creepy game which is very long for only a few bucks.
Its a really great game. We really like the camera mechanic. We really wish the rest was free, but we understand that the developers of these games need money too.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE GAME. Its fresh, challenging, intriguing, complex, unique, all wrapped up into a creatively creepy deliciously deviant game! Ill add more when finished, But theres two things missing: 1) Hint/Skip Options 2) A written walkthrough by the developers we contacted the Developers, but before you can send, youre required to give consent allowing them to store your personal data which includes contacts, messages, name, phone, planting cookies….all pretty invasive just to leave a message. Good Grief. But this game has us hooked- so please keep them coming! God Bless! Ciao! Miss LC in S.F. Sixth Generation Italian Genoa.
We were enjoying this game on our iPhone 6 Plus until we made a $4.99 in-game purchase for the full game. Then, we got as far as the plant room and it died. Every time. We tried everything, including deleting and reinstalling the game – which not only failed to work but failed to remember Id already bought the game. Waste of money.
Such clever gameplay mechanics! Hard to describe without spoilers, but Ive been playing adventure/puzzle/escape games for decades, and this had a ton of situations and solutions Id never seen before. Many of the challenges are interconnected, not just a linear series of separate puzzles based on timeworn templates. The interaction between two realities is key. Be warned, it is a horror game, and although the art is relatively cartoonish, its still horror. But its worth it for the incredibly engrossing experience.
This is a fabulous game. We would encourage you to pay the five dollars to unlock the full game. We were shocked how long this game is. Well worth the money, and lots of fun.
Great puzzle games, definitely on the challenging ends (FYI, much tougher than Rusty Lake, more difficult than EscapeCube), but we can attest all puzzles are reasonable! We doesnt just test your brain but also your courage to explore the space. 5$ is a very good bargain IMO. Highly recommend. For some data points: we believe our play time is > 20 hours. We got stuck and consulted walkthrough once through the entire game play (watching walkthrough because we didnt see the question mark icon at that point!) It would be great to have a better hint system support – it works once when we hit the question mark (kinda accidentally) when we were in Floras Room, but the icon has no effect towards the end of the game. Potential bug: At the last chapter, the manager says we can grab 3 items, but we could never take more than 2 items.
All of these games are fantastic. This one is our favorite due to unlocking the history and stories of Forgotten hill. Very creative and extremely creepy.
If you love games like the Submachine series (unfortunately only PC), Rusty Lakes Cube Escape series and Agent A, youll LOVE this game. The graphics, the game, puzzles and travel between worlds. This one and MEMENTOES are our favorites. FIRST STEPS (the prequel) was fun, but it incorporates the full version of the 1st 3 games, which we had already played and paid for, so it was kind of boring to do it all over again (we played it 4th) just to play the new parts that connect the 3 games together. The new parts were fun, we just wish we knew we were playing FALL, SURGERY and PUPPETEER all over again.
Game is cool and we really wanted to love it, but it was so glitchy and was very inconsistent with letting us select things. Things in our inventory, things around the museum, we would have to exit out of the game and refresh it and then it would let us select something. It would only let us select things for a few minutes before glitching again and not letting us click anything or see anything or open anything. :(.
The camera ceases to work after tools such as scissors or hammer has been selected once. Things work sometimes and other time no such luck. If we clear the game it works ok until a triggering event occurs. We tried removing it and reloading. Didnt help. We find ourselves pained due to the developer decision to require divulgence of personal information. This makes any further purchases impossible as we object strenuously to data mining with apps.
