Community Insight:
Im a big fan of this genre. After completing our favorite series (Lost Lands) Ive been trying to find something that compares. We enjoyed the story, and the puzzles were challenging without driving us insane. Im not as fully invested as we were with LL yet, but we look forward to exploring the rest of the Domini games catalog.
Good dialog. Puzzles are good, not too easy, not too hard. HOG are logical as are tools and uses.
Ive beaten 15 of these fun games. We love the mystery and hunting for the next item. The stories are always intriguing, and the puzzles are challenging and clever.
Ive played so many of these HO adventure games that we usually have to play difficult mode for it to be fun. The mini games here are so intuitive, challenging and original that it makes up for the silly story and animation.
Puzzles are perfect and its so fun! Ive played a lot of these games and this is the only one that competes with ae mysteries.
Great game as always. We enjoy all your games.
We logged in and didnt receive the 15 coins and our 70+ coins and like 16 gems sent showing either. Can you please correct this issue? We love playing your games and rarely have a problem,.
We really do enjoy these games and this is the first one we tried the F2P and its been going really well. The mechanics in a few spots are a bit off, like we click on the right item to solve the problem 10 times before it recognizes it (doesnt happen often tho). The art is great, story is fun and we actually want to know whats going to happen next unlike a lot of other games like this and the puzzles are just hard enough to be fun and challenging at the same time.. Except that yellow circle puzzle where you can only go 3-right and 5-left took us three days to solve and we almost gave up and Im having yellow circle PTSD. Ok so, reason its 4 and Ill change it to 5 if its fixed.. The key thats supposed to open the pirates chest just doesnt work. We cant go forward in the game and Im disappointed. Hope they fix it.
We enjoyed the game. Not super hard to where we got frustrated. Just difficult enough to keep us entertained. The few issues we had was, it was very difficult to go back to a previous location. Id either end up clicking on something thats zoomed in or on our inventory instead of going back to the location we were at before. Maybe a back button might be helpful? And another issue we had was the lock pick puzzle in the bonus chapter. We couldnt move the 4th pick at all. And it seems to have some kind of glitch. After a few times of inserting the lock pick into the key hole it would make the 3rd and 4th pick go down a peg. Making it even more difficult to try and get the 4th pick to the desired height. Seems Im not the only one thats had this issue. Had to spend 10 coins to skip the darn puzzle because no matter what we did the 4th pick wouldnt move up or down with the arrows. This was definitely frustrating.
The interface is buggy. Key in the bonus round needs adjusting to unlock door but the touch doesnt correspond to buttons. We had to press to the right of the controls to adjust the key. Voices in bonus cut scene are too soft. Also, as much as we like the game, we are knocking off a star because your game said bonus was 2.99 but when we went to pay, it was 3.99. We also tried setting up account with developer but that didnt change the price and we wasnt given the promised 15 coins. Other than these, we would give the game 5 stars. Update: we got our bonus coins credited on the next game we played from this developer.
This has a good story line but the item menu is hard to use as it is is exactly in the same place where we click to move backward. The hidden items menu are also an issue as they are very faint and the menu boxes closes while searching for hidden items.
We enjoyed this game until the very end, for whatever reason you can back out of the final boss battle puzzle but then there is no way to re-engage the puzzle! So hooray played till the end but we cant beat b/c of a massive developer oversight on a supposed remaster. Good game otherwise but be extra careful otherwise no ending which is super lame.
Most stupid game Ive ever played total garbage to complete a task you have to do the most stupidest thing in this game.
We guess by default this game is in hard mode and when we say its difficult, we mean its difficult! The game play itself is pretty easy and intuitive and we find the text to be helpful. Its also a very long game which we loved. But the in-game puzzles (and theres a ton of them) can be frustratingly challenging. We had a love-hate relationship with them and had to resort to a walkthrough on 3 to solve. With that said, the game is very well done with lots of variety to keep it interesting! It really was a lot of fun! The inventory is kept efficiently and doesnt send you back chapters and chapters to go use something youve found. You know, like some of those other carpel tunnel inducing games? As some have noted too, the game can get quite dark making it hard to see what your doing so hopefully that is helpful feedback for the developer. Also a snapshot feature would be helpful. We played this one on our iPad and had zero glitches. Pretty impressive! Im now a fan of this developer and am off to play their second secret city. Yes, we would definitely recommend this game.
Games like this are syphoning scams. Nope. Ill stick to the all in one purchase games.
Very bad instructions on some of the puzzles. Gets really annoying trying to figure them out. Towards the end you have to have crystals and mirrors to get the beam to go point in a certain direction. When you get one side done and then you almost get the other side done everything gets screwed up. They do not put that in the instructions though. So stupid and annoying to the point we are about to give all of their games a one star review!! Other than that, it is an ok game.
This game is amazing!!! Its free, interesting, adventurous, mysterious, and the graphic are so realistic. You never want to stop playing, the hints are so reliable and theres many more of these games and types and did we mention its for free.
We really liked this game and hated to see it end. The only problem we had was it took us a long time to find out how to move back through the scenes when it was as simple as touching the dip left of inventory. Maybe we should have read the tutorial?? Wait was there a tutorial.
Great game and its completely free. Great storyline and pretty cool graphics. You can get hints by simply watching a short ad, which we loved. We took advantage of that quite often. We even watched 10 ads in a row so we could skip a game that we couldnt solve. Awesome feature. Thanks for the great game.
This has so far been a fun and challenging escape game.
This game is 100% free to play!! Its much similar to big fish games yet its free!! Yes youll have to by hints if youre stuck, although most of the game and puzzles are easy enough. We always appreciate a dev allowing a game like this be f2p, so Ill show our appreciation by buying a hint pack regardless if we need them. These types of point and click games are a lot of fun for us. Its a decent story with great graphics. The game play is long enough and not boring. We recommend this to anyone looking for an adventure point and click game…. Its FREE.
For the genre, this is really well executed. Puzzles are logical and you arent overwhelmed with inventory. At any one time there are only a handful of locations to keep track of. Hidden object scenes are well done too, more interactive and more variety than many other games in the genre. The controls arent always well suited for iPhone. We need to turn the brightness way up to figure out what to look for in hidden object scene. Having important game play elements right at the bottom of the screen (IE. Text for hidden objects, and the main inventory) causes problems. We either couldnt read it because the iOS bar covered it or Id constantly bring up the iOS task switcher when trying to select an item. Also some of the contrast in the text and HO outlines is hard to distinguish for these old eyes. One other thing is when we went to pay for hints (which arent strictly necessary but we feel the game deserves it), we took the option for fifty ish hints and only afterwards did we see an option for unlimited. It would have been nice to see that earlier but it wasnt presented to us. So when Im finished Ill likely seek out computer versions of the developers games because this one is really fun and Id hate to miss out due to minor frustrations with the controls.
Good story (as long as you ignore that the murderer passes up every opportunity to kill you, the protagonist). Just the right amount of hang onto an item until later, or go back several screens to use a new item (easy to remember what you needed for what). Some hidden object items required additional steps to locate within the frame, and that is an enjoyable mechanic. Lock pick in bonus chapter is impossible until you discover the hit boxes for some of the buttons are misplaced (bug, not an intentional challenge).
We were incredibly excited for a new puzzle game and at first glance we thought Im truly going to enjoy this. Well we found out that any puzzle we really struggled with, there wasnt any findable assistance. We wasnt able to change the difficulty setting on this version?? We absolutely love the premise. Just wish we couldve made it past the first level.
We really enjoy these games. We have run into a problem with the puzzles in the bonus game, they dont work properly. For example the key puzzle one of the bolts does not respond/move for proper placement to complete the puzzle. Same with the plates puzzle. Very frustrating as you then have to spend money to b7 enough hints to be able to skip. We hope this gets fixed. Thank you.
We paid $3 for this game and we are having issues with some of the mini puzzles, pieces will not budge at all. Im struggling just on one piece then having to reset it several times. Frustrating.
If you like games that take your money then this is for you. You shouldve one had to buy it once. But no you have to buy for hint.
Theres a puzzle that says it has an easy and a hard mode but there does not seem to be a way to switch the difficulty? Supposedly in easy mode the disk moves however many spaces, and in hard it moves a limited number of spaces, but it seems to be stuck in hard mode and it is impossible to solve the puzzle. Only 5/8 of the pieces can be put in the right places, but since you have to move 2 pieces at once, the last 3 are unable to be put in their place.
We could not get pass focusing the glasses. When we did one lens the other lens moved.
Ugh! We hate these games. They say free but you have to pay for hints. We would rather just pay the $6 and be done.
