Community Insight:
One of the best games we've ever played.
None of these games have great story lines but this one has great graphics and realistic scenes. No giant or surreal monsters. So tired of those. It was worth the price and we recommend it.
Just cost too much to buy the full game.
This game is allot of fun and challenging enough. Hours of play.
Its not just a game of finding objects but finding objects like a detective to be able to forward although sometimes you have to go back to move fotward. So far quite enjoyable.
One of the best plots recently, and as usual in these series, you get a cute companion – our favorite doggie Elf. Typical to Elephant games: beautiful graphics, a good map, nice interactive HOPs …The only thing which bothered us – too many collectibles, instead of focusing on the game, you have to look for the cards, zodiac signs and morphing objects. Zodiacs are not in every scene, and the map this time doesnt show you, if you have collected the trophies , so it takes time to have them all. But its a hiccup, so definitely recommended to buy.
Mixed HOS,a lot of puzzles and happy us. Wish it was 4 Chapters longer!!! Its one we will replay at a later date…along with Subliminal Realms:Call of Atis. Keepem coming BF.
Love Mystery Tracker series. This one is no different…its another winner. Excellent graphics and a great storyline to follow. Buy.
Always waiting for another Mystery Trackers which never fails to entertain us. Hoping to see Elfs family at some point. Have just begun this episode so maybe we will get lucky on that score.
Finished in under 90 minutes which was disappointment but we love these games. Love elf our trusty sidekick.
Its a great game, but it hung up once we got to Anns house.
Its good to have a game without demons etc.
There are several objects to find (morphing, screens zodiac symbols).There should to be buttons on each page to show what objects to find. Then, the color of the buttons needs to change. Many creative HOPs and puzzles, striking graphics. Love ELF.
We love this series, but this game was extremely short! We are getting less bang for our buck. We only purchased it because it was on sale but we wouldnt have wanted to pay full price. You could customize settings. The graphics were quite good, crisp and clear. The storyline was one we have seen many times over, nothing original there. There was no cohesive journal but objectives were regularly updated. Once again, your little dog Elf was present to aid in your investigation. Inventory was labeled and interactive and there were complex items to assemble. Elephant provided us with a marked teleport map to transport us nearly instantaneously between locations. The problem was that at times the map showed a task when there wasnt one to be performed. Collectibles included morphing objects, constellation symbols, and screen fragments. At each location there was a plethora of tasks to accomplish. The HO scenes had variety, but nothing outstanding or extremely original. The puzzles/ games were a lot of rotational stuff, but others were codes or games of skill/ dexterity. The game flowed well and the quality assurance was good. We didnt encounter any glitches except for the aforementioned map issue. We will leave our review at 4 stars. We deducted a star mainly for length and for lack of originality but we still enjoyed the game nevertheless. Happy gaming to all! Note to Blueflier: happy to see you are still gaming. Hope you are doing well.
Although this game was very enjoyable, it was suddenly over. We were fighting with a guy who had the entity within him and the game was suddenly over. We think we barely went from the psychologists office to the mansion. And then the factory and that was it. Disappointed because its started off really well and the it was over. We had only been playing the game for about two/three hours approximately.
We bought this without even reading the reviews, because we love this series and we think Elf is a great character sidekick. But this episode is super short, and while the mini games are fun, everything else about this feels like it was hurried through the process. The storyline is okay, but the graphics are blurry and the general feel is just as if it were rushed to deadline. The ending in particular suffers from this. We hesitated on giving a poor rating to one of our fave series, but due to the extreme brevity of play, its a three star value and that is only if you buy it on sale.
We can never get tired of our beloved four-legged friend Elf, who, by now, must have reached his "elderly" status since he has been barking and wagging his tail for what seems like ages now. Unfortunately, though, poor Elf cannot save this game from being forever forgotten about after hitting the Delete button. This installment is a big disappointment. We no longer recognize the "Mystery Trackers" of the "good ole days" when the first few games in this series had distinct elements that were devoid in every other series. The atmospheric settings that evinced feelings of apprehension and intrigue, as well as the challenging gameplay that was synonymous with this series, have been squeezed out. Oh, how we miss Raincliff, with its original concept and its lack of hand-holding guidance. That said, the storyline fails to introduce a refreshing idea; it adheres to the trending horror-themed template, which also includes the accompanying dark and spooky illustrations. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map facilitates brisk travel to labeled locations and indicates available actions. Transition between scenes is smooth and quick; no glitches to report. Gameplay here is mostly banal; thus, the lack of novelty and innovation. The HOSs are commonplace, as hints of creativity are sorely missing. On the other hand, the puzzles are multi-layered at times; and they are interesting. We are happy that a player can enable a difficulty setting for some of the puzzles to elevate the level of challenge. There are several sets of collectibles, including in the close-ups. Since the scenes are so dark, you need to carefully examine the background to discover them. We were not persuaded to purchase this game, considering the brevity of the free trial; however, due to the unavailability of an alternative game, we did complete the purchase. We guess Elf's adorable tilt of his head and vigorous bark, yearning to please, did us in. The game is offensively short, even with the bonus chapter. As sad as it will be to let little Elf go, we think it is time to end this series and give Elf the proper "retirement" package he so deserves for his many years of faithful service. Unless the next "Mystery Trackers" game has something grand to offer, this might be our final "fur-well"! Our rating is 3 stars to account for the decent puzzles, as well as for a tribute to our favorite helper ever Elf.
First off, we have always loved this series – especially Elf our faithful companion. Always feel that he needs a bigger role in this series. While we enjoyed the game, we must say that it is incredibly short. Storyline did not feel complete or resolved. Hidden object scenes were somewhat interactive, puzzles just o.k. Collectibles, morphing objects to collect, along with a teleporting map. Really felt slighted for this series. We felt the developers could have done so much more to enhance this storyline. Very little character voiceovers – heavy on special effects, even though graphics were not as crisp and clear as they could have been. Game started out very dark. Still held our attention and is worth playing – fellow gamers you'll have to play the free trial and make your own judgement call on this one. Disappointed, that now we will be waiting till Sunday for a New Game to play. KdBoots ( really on the fence about a true rating – still in shock that it's over!).
Its a shame to ask 7$ for a such a short game. It looks like it was stripped from some other game and became a dlc.
Oddly short, we wish we hadnt purchased at full price. Even if you catch it at sale price its too short. Ive played free intros that were nearly the length of this full version.
Do not pay expecting an evening of entertainment. Very short. And we normally love this series. Rip off.
We have always liked this series, but this game seemed like someone else had designed it. It took barely an hour after the (also short) trial. The storyline was confusing and not at all developed. We had hopes that the bonus game would tie things up, but that did not happen. It, too, was much shorter than usual. We will think twice before purchasing another game in this series.
Not worth the money we paid game was short.
We have a 5th generation iPad Pro that is up to date with its OS (16.5) and the games visuals are hopelessly bugged out. Cut scenes are fine, menu and regular game screens are all distorted and messed up. They really should remove this game from the App Store until it is fixed.
When we first purchased the game, we had no issues and really enjoyed it. Now, every time we try to download and play it Im only able to view cut scenes. The display is completely scrambled. Please fix this.
Something wrong with the screen. All we see is bright squares.
We purchased this game and it let us play it once. Now it is all messed up and wont play. Its like a whole bunch of different panels floating around.
We cannot play the game. Youre only able to see cut scenes. The game is either incomplete, or needs updating. Ill be attempting to get our money back. We deleted and uploaded three different times (after turning our phone on and off after upload, and before). Theres no available update. Waste of money. We want our money BACK.
All ur recent games are primitive and easy childlike.
Can we have our money back? Ive purchased so many games over the past few years from Big Fish. Mystery Trackers is usually fun but this one was so bad we really want our $6.99 back if possible.
They're just large rats with big ears. Why in the WORLD would you add them? What's up with the PET themes in these games.
