Community Insight:
We loved this game. Perfectly challenging enough. The game is very long almost like five games in one.
Twice as long as we expected it to be, with interesting puzzles and the perfect amount of creepiness and spookiness.
Ive been playing the games on our Como for sometime now and decided to purchase for our phone. We click on things on the screen and it wont budge. Im replaying the games we had on our computer so we know what needs to be click but it wont let us click anything on our phone! :( hope this gets fix ! Wont be able to keep playing with out the click working.
Forest level is broken, we somehow made it outside of the paths and now just have endless options in all directions. Going to ask for a refund.
We love forgotten hill but this game is the same as one of their previous games called fall. They just changed the graphics but the puzzles and rooms are the exact game. Thats really lame when you are asking people to pay for the game.
We have always enjoyed playing these kinds of games. This is one of the best. The puzzles are challenging. The great thing about the game is that it offers hints, double hints, and then does the solution for you if you cant figure it out. We also found a walkthrough online. There was one puzzle we couldnt figure out. Maybe it will be easier for you. We also liked the artwork, even though it was a little bit gory. You collect things like eyeballs, hearts, and brains.
Loved it as we have loved all of them. One slight glitch, we never got the game book, the rest was very cool and morbid! Great job.
If youre new to the Forgotten Hill series, youre in for a treat! Strap in for a wild ride through lite versions of several key FH games, plus brand-new adventures. The puzzles are tough but not unsolvable. The art is top-notch. The music is spooky and atmospheric. Everything you love about FH is here! The reason this gets a 4 instead of a 5 is because there are some bugs in this version. The forest scene gets stuck on the left side of the map and seems to scroll through more steps than is shown on the grid. At times, it appears to default back to the beginning of the map. Its unclear if thats a glitch or not, but its confusing and not in a fun, puzzle way. Another bug is that the first Nightmare scene crashes repeatedly in the iOS for iPad version (14.6). Developers, fix the bugs and Ill bump the rating to a 5. It really is good.
Im a long term fan, cant wait to play the new game! However there seems to have a bug in the forest.
Another fantastic point and click in the series. Love these games.
We were almost at the end (we think?) when we had to close the app. When we opened it to keep playing, the opening scene started again. So thats fun.
