Community Insight:
We remember when they first released the first story, we are still game and its so enjoyable. We hope they keep doing wonderful mystery stories.
We wish we could just pay for the whole thing rather than having to buy energy. Id pay for the app. Even yearly.
Love playing and great story just hate how fast energy is used. Wish there was more ways to win more energy instead of having to purchase.
Hello there! We love this murder mystery Im ready for the next chapter! Where is it? When is it coming! We can hardly wait! Thank. Thanks. That was all.
We love the game and the story line, the downfall is it uses energy way to fast and doesnt give enough energy to even play long, unless you constantly buy energy you arent going to get much play time at all. Its more of a money rack game then something you can enjoy playing.
Our mind is relaxed. Had a long day . It really got our mind off things. And the music too.
Ive been trying to connect to the next level for days now and it keeps telling us to try again in 15 mins we thought maybe we needed to update the app but theres not one available Ive put a lot of time and money and effort into getting where Im at in the game so its very frustrating to say the least!! Please tell us how to fix this issue.
We love this game so much. The storyline, graphics and gameplay is excellent. Would really love if you could receive energy a little quicker because it runs out fast. Our only complaint is for Luigi and Anna to have the romance they deserve. Other than that great job.
This game is just so amazing and its so fun, we just love the fact that there are mysterious things in the storys and we love the puzzles on the game. This game has no adds which we love because we can enjoy this game without being interrupted by the adds! 10/10 love this game.
Its like reading a really good book or watching a great movie but youre part of the story. Captivating with beautiful graphics. True to the time period youll enjoy being immersed in Annas life who is a journalist in 1930s Zurich. She helps solve murder mysteries while following their stories for her articles. The chapters are loosely connected and keep you wanting to see what she gets herself into next! It can be a money pit if youre not patient and cant wait for your energy to refill, which does happen but that just tells you how captivating the story is. Its not a game you play in your 1 minute spare time, keep candy crush and the like for that. This is captivating and will need your attention so you understand the often elaborate story, while also solving mini puzzles and hidden object scenes. We personally have changed the language to German because it helps us study the language (taking lessons concurrently) but it also creates a more authentic experience since the original language would be German. Youll still hear the story in English but subtitles will be German, a great learning opportunity. We think another 5-6 languages are also available.
Everybody that has 10 fingers, 2 legs, 2 hands, 1 head, 2 eyeballs, one mouth, two ears must play this game, whether your black, white, Asian or mixed, must play 1!!11.
Hi. We are enjoying this game so far but we are having an issue with the game. The games tends to freeze up at certain points and doesnt allow you to do anything. (Im not talking about the freeze in the hidden object scene if you tap to much) sometimes this freeze up happens after you speak to a character or last night the game froze up on us as we hidden object scene was coming up and we couldnt get to it. We cleared the game out and went back on and we got it to work but then it just froze again. We believe it might be a bug/glitch. And may need to be updated again.
This game is one of the bast Mystery we have played in years.
We love this game its so fun and its a great mystery game highly recommend you download our red in the alps.
Have waited for the ability of playing this next series! When is it available? We are having trouble being able to solve the movement of Miss Meyers in the Da Da Killers Iris is being held by Oskar at the Kneef Gallery and Anna is trying to get Iris away and Now we dont k ow what to do. There is no HELP button to go to. Please advise.
B4 we were able to watch and listen to our video on YouTube as we were playing this game on android. But ever since we switch to apple we could not multi task. Please can you update this to work.
We love this game! The only reason we didnt give five stars is because it takes so much energy to play the game and takes a long time to restore after playing. We literally play for maybe five minutes before Im out of energy. Every time you touch the screen, it takes away your energy.
This game is very fun and enjoyable; although the energy situation is ridiculous. This is why it is a four star rating for now, if the energy time was pushed down to one or two minutes instead of eight, people would love this game! Also, the same goes to Murder by Choice. The energy time is only one minute lower. All in all, the storyline is compelling and makes you wonder who the killer is, and it always tries to trick you, in a good way, and we are happy with that! But the energy needs to be fixed for a more immaculate and captivating experience.
We really enjoy the game but quickly become frustrated when we just wanna sit and play and we run out of energy In 5 minutes but then it takes a very long time to get energy.
We absolutely love this game but, it shouldnt take weeks to finish a chapter! Its so annoying that everything you do requires energy and then it takes FOREVER for the energy to be replenished. We read that they were going to work on it but that was a year ago. We literally had to wait 2 full days to get a full bar of energy because we were tired of watching ads.
Hey whoever updates this game. We really wanna play more but it always turns off our music or podcast that Im listening to when we open the game and thats a real bummer. It makes us turn to play other games that dont cut off our podcast so we dont throw off our groove. Please update so we can listen to our own stuff and play because its super fun! Thanks fam.
Good game but more energy would make it a great game.
They want folks to purchase bundles to play longer than 10 minutes at a time. Such a shame because its a great game.
Fun game but only recently have we started receiving notifications and we had received 75 notifications about more energy for the same price in a span of 3 minutes. Not sure if this is a problem from our phone or its the app that is SPAMMING but its annoying. Turning off notifications for the app because that was unbearable, unbelievable, and unnerving.
UPDATE: thanks for the developers for having the best intentions and also for suggesting new ways to gain energy. Love the game play and animation. Health meter not visible during game play so hard to monitorwhich makes it hard to understand how health is used. But it seems like every tap uses health which makes it run out very quickly. A little expensive. If you like to pay to play, you will enjoy the beautiful game play and attention to detail.
We absolutely love this game, and we are super picky about games. Its hard for us to find one and stick with it. We are also a person who doesnt ever put any money into a game because we feel like its a waste. Well we actually put money into this game because it is absolutely a great game. But it has one flawthe energy its insane. It really has us second guessing the game. The amount of energy you use for one thing is incredibly frustrating. Especially since you use your energy to find the hidden objects, which that alone takes everything. It wouldnt be so bad if the energy refilled pretty quick, but it doesnt. Its take way to long. When we say forever we mean hours of not playing gets us only 30 bolts of energy, which is wasted within seconds of playing.
Great game but we hate that it takes too long to gain energy.
We actually really enjoyed this until we realized how much it costs to play. Genuinely surprised us that this would be fun. But seriously insultingly expensive. We might watch an ad or something, but would never spend $5 an hr to play, which is what it seems to be after you get hooked.
We have played every chapter of this game without any issues. This last chapter we have had little issues but we have tried to finish portion of this game but can not. We can not attach the handle to the car jack. We have not received any information or help from the creators. Wish we could finish it.
We love this game and we like replaying the stories while we wait for a new chapter to come out. Yes, you use energy quickly and it takes time to get through things unless you pay for more, but you get used to doing it little by little and its fun. We also like to try finding all the little collectibles for more energy. The only thing we dont really like, is that when we start a story over to try to get all the collectibles this time around, all the collectibles reset- meaning we have to find every single one again?! Thats a little annoying, because we dont know which ones we had found previously and which are new, if any. Its a little frustrating to have to do things we already did. Otherwise, we really enjoy playing along with the stories and we do find the replay value to be good.
We just started playing this game yesterday, downloading it from the ad picturing the little girl and some grisly murders(which episode is that one?) and it seems to take a whole 24 hours to rebuild energy that only lasts about 20 minutes. Each time we run out it shows an option to watch an ad for 10 energies but the button is black and doesnt play anything. We love Hidden Object games but trying to play this one just might not be worth it, and paying isnt an option for us.
Game is decent but it just freezes a lot.
We love these kinds of games, we also have the Murder by Choice game from the same developer, but the ratio of gaining energy to expelling energy is way off. You earn 1 energy every 8 minutes, up to 200 energy that means it takes 26.7 hours to get full energy. And it takes so much energy to do the most simple tasks, we timed ourselves today to see how long we could play before running out of energy, which was exactly 5 minutes. The game has good graphics and challenges, but having to wait more than 26.7 hrs (1600 minutes) just to play 5 minutes at a time is a bit disappointing.
Its a good game but takes too much energy for EVERYTHING and it takes forever for the energy to fill back. There should be tasks or mini game to play to fill the energy instead of having to pay for it.
We think the game is wonderful but we would recommend changing the way the energy runs out. Why have the energy run out every time you find the correct items you are looking for? Cant it just be when you hit the wrong items too many times? We cannot keep spending money on getting more energy. We understand that a lot of work was put into this game and we appreciate that. We have put some money in it but we cant keep doing that. It wont let us watch videos to get more energy either. So basically we have to wait a day before we can play again. Which is ridiculous. We hope you guys take the complaints/constructive criticism to heart and change up a few things.
We really enjoyed the first two chapters in the game. The design work is fantastic and the story line very much in keeping with murder mysteries of old Hollywood. The energy levels do fall off very quickly, but that keeps us from spending too much time playing, and it is easy to return to finish a section of the game. As someone who studied and taught art history, we were looking forward to the story line in the Dada Murders. And that's when our disappointment in the game's story line showed itself. Firstly, as a woman, we were so disappointed with the sexual violence portrayed in the Dada Murders. Can we just play a game without being confronted? It really is NOT necessary to the storyline. We also found the scenes had become so much more graphic, again not necessary to create a good game and good story line. We appreciate how Dada was portrayed, but it could have been just as effective without being quite so graphic. After Chapter 1 in the Dada Murders, we deleted the game. Considering the second chapter was about "Ladies of the Night," we decided that we'd had enough. It's too bad, because we really enjoyed this game until the third chapter.
It wont let us watch ads for energy.
Im broke and we can only play so long till our 200 energy is gone every time you press on something its 5 energy and then when you use hints thats ten energy and it adds up very fast we like the game but idk if its worth it to play for 5-10 mins a day.
It really takes away from the game to not have any music or sounds, it looks like it should have sound but we cant seem to make it work.
We like the game cause its very interesting and dont get us wrong it really does get us curious but we dont like the fact that it takes too long to refill our energy , besides idk why it wont allow us to watch to refill the energy. We wish we could keep playing it cause we love games like this but we just cant wait 72 hours just to get less then half of energy to continue playing.
The game is fun and interesting, we really do like playing itbut the energy system is annoying! It takes so much energy to do something, and you recover energy at a ridiculously slow rate. If you want to play more than once every 24 hours you will be able to do nothing. Of courseyou can BUY more energy for $5, $10, $20. Its just a money trap!! Examples- it takes 5 energy to click on each single item in the hidden objects mini games, and 10 to interact with things, say like turn on a light switch. We played last night before bed and turned it back on today at 10:30, and only had 74 energy. Enough for the other half of the mini game we started last night, and to walk around and turn on a light switch and talk to another character. Then, oops out of energy. Play if you want to flush money or if you have a LOT of patience.
We really enjoy the game but the cap on energy is 200 which maybe gets you 5-10 minutes of play. Then you have to wait more than 24 hours for your energy to refill. We dont spend money but its frustrating that you can only play for a few minutes every other day.
This game is so well put-together and fun. We would give this game 5 stars if it werent for the energy aspect of the game. While energy makes sense, it is insane how much it takes to do simple tasks. For instance, the max amount of energy is around 200 or so. It takes 30 of our energy just to open a letter. It also takes quite a lot of energy just to talk to someone, which means we can only play this game for about five minutes per day. It is also extremely hard to gain energy back without buying it with real money. This game has so much potential to be great, and we hope one day it is as such. Until the energy aspect is fixed, we will not be playing.
We love the story and puzzles. Graphics are well done but playtime is so limited by everything you do using up a crazy amount of energy and then takes a long time to recharge that we will probably uninstall soon.
This game is great, good graphics, fun clues and hidden puzzles. It is truly fun and entertaining to play. But it is waaayyy too expensive to play. You require lightning bolts to accomplish any small task, it is goes super fast, and doesnt replenish quickly, unless you pay for it. And even when you buy bolts, its difficult to complete a puzzle or two before you have to buy more.
We love this game which is why its so disappointing that we receive a server wont run pop up every time we try to play. Its beautifully conceived but wont work.
Started this series years ago but it too so long to update inbetween chapters??? That we decided to wait until it was done. So we restarted playing from the beginning and it still hasnt changed. It was an energy guzzler then and its STILL an energy guzzler now! But its such a well written mystery, Im invested. But since Im starting over, Im ok with playing once a day and wait to reset all our energy. Otherwise like everyone else says, it costs a lot. The developers other games are similar, that it takes a lot of energy. But we play several games and we just hop from one to another. We hope eventually, they will get the point and make the gameplay longer without having to spend so much money or time. We might actually pay more then just an initial $2.99.
Fun game, but it takes longer than 24 to fill energy and you are maxed out at 200. Most of the actions take 30 – 50 at a time. And every time we update the app, it finds a discrepancy in game play and sets us back.
Our rating is based solely on the fact that we have to scroll past all the levels in the game to get to the one Im playing now. Either those completed levels should collapse, or the user should have the opportunity to pin a level to the top of the list. If the scrolling consistently worked well, it would be less of an issue, but if you end up tapping into a level when youre trying to scroll, its a bad user experience.
