Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love it, like watching a movie and interacting the the scenes. Great graphics.
Great story, well done. Definately enjoyed playing but the puzzles were too easy. Loved the music and graphics. Wish the game was not so short, especially for that price. We think this story had more potential but even so-good job.
Main game was too short and no extra chapter to make up for it. Otherwise game was pretty decent. Puzzles maybe a little too easy.
The screen wasnt very sensitive and the different language didnt help but it was a decent game.
Many objects much too small to find without straining our eyeballs. The part where we find the pieces to match the circled items from the childs drawings were incredibly difficult to decipher, in particular, the stethoscope and syringe which looked like purses! Navigating the rooms could have been more obvious to find. All in all, graphics in need of overhaul. Good storyline.
This was one of our favorite storylines from Artifex Mundi with equally enjoyable gameplay. That being said, the game was short and, unlike so many other titles from this and other developers, there was no Bonus Chapter to unlock/play following completion of the main game. It pains us to admit that we would probably not recommend this title to others despite the exciting gameplay and storyline, there are simply too many other titles we would recommend sinking your $6-$7 into. Countless titles from this and other developers will provide a much more satisfying ROI. This is so unfortunate in that the game shows SO much potential!! We can only hope that any additional titles in this series provide a little more gameplay for our $7 (which we will likely seek out as we are curious as to how this story will unfold!!). Also, there are 2 options for purchase. If you choose to purchase, we recommend downloading the trial version and purchasing through the app via the main menus Unlock option vs. Purchasing and downloading the app labeled as Full (the one requiring purchase prior to download from the App Store) the former appeared to be formatted better for our iPhone 11 Pro Plus. The objective text that appears on the left side of the screen was cut off a little, but we prefer that with full screen (edge to edge) graphics to an overall smaller gameplay screen. Just our personal opinion.
Great art work, really mind puzzling, you get towards solving and surprise….you got to buy to complete the story…what a letdown. We will not download a G5 game again, shame because they are really fun. Oh well, there are other games to play that don't pull that trick on you.
This wouldve been great, but it lied about being free. You can play an intro for free, but you have to pay for the full game. It seemed like great writing and puzzles, but we cant give a good rating to a game that passes itself off as free with purchasable boosters, but actually is a pay to play. Thats just not right.
Great puzzles! Great adventure! Keeps our interest. We didnt want to put our phone down while we played this! All games from this developer have exceeded our expectations.
Hello Mame, a you help us ??Hello can you help us.
This was not worth the money the ending was really bad AND no bonus feature. Where are all the great reviews coming from ….the employees ???? Come on AM you are better than this. 2nd game in a row that we were very disappointed..dont waste your money!…….. Im gonna watch to see if this review gets removed.
Excellent game beautiful graphics.
Another amazing adventure from The AM team.
This has been our favorite artifex Mundi game. The graphics are super awesome, and we loved the steam punk storyline.
Awesome story line and graphics.
Unique storyline with outstanding character voice overs – Very believable. The graphics are crisp, beautiful & clear. Loved the hidden object scenes & puzzles. Teleporting map was given early on. We always look forward to this companies games as they are so creative & always pay attention to detail. Looking forward to their next release – can't come too soon for us!! Thank you for this Great entertainment that you create. KdBoots.
We enjoyed playing this game. We hope there will more in this series.
Very entertaining. Great storyline and graphics.
Fun game, lots of great HOPs, puzzles, good graphics and story line. Only thing missing is a strategy guide but it's not really needed as everything is marked well.
The voice actors were great (except for a grown woman pretending to be a 6-yr-old girl- that never works). The music was fabulous and didn't make you crazy. Good story, albeit w/ some holes. The only things we don't like about this brand is the lack of a bonus chapter and you can't go back and pick up any missed collection items. Can't wait for a sequel.
Everything in this game is great: graphics, mimi games,the story etc. Love it.
We love Artifex Mundi games and definitely have our favorites. But that means we compare every game we play back to those favorites (we.e. The Enigmatis series). The game is unsurprisingly beautiful, the music and noises are pleasant and enhance the game play, and the mini games are different but familiar. We do find that the story sequences are slow to end with a lot of time between the end of dialogue and when game play starts up again. The storyline is similar to other hidden object mystery games Ive played before but with enough differences that we dont feel like we can guess the outcome right away. Our preference is for darker storylines and we would say this falls in a safer category when it comes to that. Overall, enjoyable and has all the qualities that we love from Artifex Mundi games but we were left wanting for a deeper/darker plot and faster game play.
This game was very good, but the price was a bit steep considering that it was a relatively short game and did not have a bonus adventure. The storyline was easy to follow. You could customize settings. The graphics were actually pretty decent, considering that we had never heard of this developer before. There was a marked teleport map to transport you instantaneously between locations. At each location you have collectibles, which are morphing objects related to your father. Inventory items were labeled and there were complex items to assemble. There was no cohesive journal but objectives were regularly updated. The HO scenes had decent variation. The gimmick in the game was that you had paranormal abilities and could use dream mode to further your game, by finding items and hints to use. There was a mini game associated with this mode. The puzzles were somewhat simplistic but at least they were not all boring rotational stuff; we enjoyed many of them because they weren't the usual types we get when we play a game distributed by BigFish. The game ran smoothly and we didn't encounter any glitches. Our true rating is 4.5 stars. We deducted only half a star because of length, lack of a bonus adventure and the fact that you could tell that English was not the primary language of the developer. However, we enjoyed this game immensely. It was way more fun to play than anything BigFish has offered us lately! Lynxie sends to the amazing DTE and all the reviewers who enjoyed this game as much as we did.
Great game, but really overpriced.
In app it says 60% off but wants to charge full price.
The game is stuck on the bass clef and treble clef clue. We have tried everything possible. And there is no one to write to saying there is a glitch. The money spent on the game is now down the drain, and the mystery is left unsolved.
Beautiful graphics, many inventive HOPs and puzzles, engrossing story.
Standard HOP, morphing objects. But what really stood out for us was the music. We played with headphones on… And was so creeped out because of the music. No glitches, game play fun… Mysterious plot, overall a great purchase!!! More please! Fyi does not have bonus game if your expecting.
Thank you another quality game. Had fun playing it. Recommend.
After playing this AMAZING GAME, we're hoping that this is the beginning of a great new series"Scarlett Mysteries".
Another great game from Artifex Mundi!! The story had us so intrigued we couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Beautiful scenes and fun puzzles. This gaming company is a huge step above the rest. We burst with excitement every time we see a new release from them on iOS and rush as fast as we can to buy it. Their introductory price is so cheap compared to other companies out there, yet their games and ten times better. We'd gladly pay 3 times the price. Artifex Mundi, if your reading this Please, Please, Please bring more of your amazing games over to the US App Store!!! We have purchased all you have available and we need more!!!! Thank you for your hard work and great games. You have a fan for life here.
Enjoyed immensely. Hope for many sequels to follow. Top notch as usual. Keep up the great work.
Nice length, good story. All the bells and whistles.
This game was a joy to play. The scenes were well drawn. The audio was just right. The HO games were fun, and the mini games were just hard enough to make them enjoyable. The map was easy to use, but we only needed to use it 2-3 times. The story line was realistic, the game was not gruesome, and we can't wait to play the next one. At least, we hope there's a next one.
No bonus game either. Finished in an hour or 2.
We were playing and enjoying the game, but then discovered there is no Strategy Guide, not even online. What gives.
