Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this game bc its affordable and not too easy to play but not too hard no ads no annoying pay walls.
Im using an IPhone . Every time we try to place an object our whole screen slides. The game isnt locked on. Any ideas.
Love the Grim Tales series and this one is as fun as others. However, Bonus Chapter has continuity issues. Who is David? He just suddenly shows up as the villain with no explanation. Nor is there any explanation of the witch and her hatred of Anna. We know some of these mobile games often have missing pieces of information, but this kind of makes the bonus chapter a little less enjoyable because you spend so much time wondering where these people came from.
Game is good and quality is good but it does not work on an iPhone 12 very well because the screen falls off the side of the screen of your phone. Every time you try to pick up a tool you swipe out of the game. Its very annoying. You also cant see somethings on the screen because theyre not in view.
We purchased the game, the story boards load but game play screen doesnt fully load. It is not possible to play. We have purchased several of the Grim Tales but this is a bust.
We have enjoyed all the games in this series, and this one was pretty darn good! We personally didn't find the game to be short at all, but we suppose everyone has different definitions of how they perceive that. The storyline was fresh, Richard is a hoot as always, and Alice was likable from the start. Thanks so much for this awesome game, looking forward to the next one in the series.
So excited yall finally put back out a game that was awesome!! No glitches, no stupid story line and plenty of content for the price… Please make all you games like this!! Sincerely, Bought all of your games.
We enjoyed this addition to this series. Good storyline and fun gameplay.
The games by Elephant Developers are phenomenal! The scenery are done so well. The games have wonderful plots and great mystery stories behind them. We like how the story lines continue onto the next game. That makes you want to see how its going to continue or end. The HOPs are done with a great challenge along with the games themselves. There hasnt been a game we didnt like from the developers at Elephant Games. Keep them coming because our granddaughter is now a great fan as we are too.
Was worried it would be dark but could see scenery quite well. Enjoyed the story and tasks. No problems, kept our interest.
We really enjoy this series, and the highlight of course is Richard Gray (Annas father, the talking skull), because hes hilarious, witty, sardonic and rude to his daughter; however he does help the investigation. This game is typical Elephant. There were no elements that were incredibly novel or unique, but the gameplay was still entertaining and addictive. The graphics were beautiful. The storyline captured our interest, and there was a plethora of tasks at each location. Our biggest gripe is length! For what we are paying, we should be getting games that have double the gameplay. For that reason, we are deducting a half star, so our true rating will be 4.5 stars. UPDATE: To all players! We still cannot furnish you with details, but please ensure that you read all of our reviews going forward. Hopefully by Christmas we will make an announcement that will blow your minds. If you ever doubted that karma exists, we can tell you that it does, and that we will all have redemption from the BigFish debacle. We decided that they werent going to get away with destroying our genre and devastating the players, so we did something about it! We just cant tell you yet. We promise you this: youre all going to have a great Christmas, courtesy of Lynxie. Let the speculation begin. Any gamers who want to try guessing may do so. We will entertain all conspiracy theories. Happy gaming to all.
Ok, we played the trial game. Sorry. Still not paying $6.99 for an hour long, maybe game we will only play once. Not unless your Five-Bn UK LTD & we still try to buy those on sale. That is our personal choice, do as you please, and please refrain from attacking our choice. We dont attack your decisions, opinions, etc. That being said, after this last update, the search history is not the same. When you search Hidden Object and adjust to most recent, the games are different. Wheres the latest one the dark something or other? They used to make for Big Fish & this may have been(?) their 1st solo game on their own. And it seems like there are probably a lot more missing? Some Elephant and DominiApp games? We didnt study this too hard but something is off for sure? Has anyone else experienced this as well? Im writing this on our favorite holiday, Halloween. To give you a reference point & we just updated our iPad last night to iOS 13.2. Ive gotten this result all day. Tried multiple, different times. Changed the phrasing, but that seems to only affect what automatically pops up. We kindly thank you in advance for any feedback and we wish you all the spookiest and safest of All Hallows Eve! Lets send some prayers and thoughts of intention of water to California! The thought of all the animals that are taken during these events breaks our heart to the core! Update It seems the search glitch was momentary and everything is back to normal! So disregard our previous inquiry.
