Truberbrook Reviews
We dont normally write reviews but just wanted to say thanks to all the creators of this game. Amazing job! Love the graphics, the voice overs, and the music is awesome too. And we always liked these types of games, and this one has been fun!! Im about half way thru (I think.) we hope you guys make another game in the future. Very talented. Great work.
Some reviews made us think there was a big problem, but whatever it worked great and we were able to finish game. We did have to use walkthrough guides for a few weird things, but enjoyed the graphics and gameplay.
This game was fun, it reminded us of the Monkey Island games. It was very tricky, plenty of puzzles and mini quests. There was a lot of great humor, the dialogue and characters were entertaining and funny. We just want to know: who is Beverly??
After many hours of play Im very happy with Truberbrooks stability and ease of play. The story is compelling and quite interesting, Im always wondering whats next. We look forward to playing it again and again, plenty of twists and turns. The story, the graphics, the music, the voice acting are all excellent!
We absolutely loved this game!! Could have definitely used some hints here and there as we were left stumped a few times but it was overall very fun and engaging. Loved the witty commentary and the storyline was awesome!!
We have to say, we felt a level of immersion in this game that we rarely find with other point-and-clicks. The art direction and animation is certainly five star worthy and it’s a fun and quirky sci-fi storyline that’s easy to buy into, plenty of interesting characters with a quality voice cast. Unfortunately, some less than efficient game play and odd glitches near the end left us with less than complete satisfaction. We wish they could give you some text description for items in the inventory, guess they didn’t want to have to worry about localization. Hoping there’s another title in the works from this developer.
Decent game but lags on story we think personally.
Beautiful graphics. Patience required as one needs to explore each scene which can be tedious with the UI but not unfamiliar with such games. Good voice-overs. Works fine on iPhone XR. Overall appears 2B an above average point and click adventure. One can tell care & consideration were put into this game. Kudos to the developer.
This game is slow AF. Im impatient AF. Having said that, the music made everything better. We definitely had to use a walkthrough at times.
We get to the hotel in chapter 1 at about 48 minutes then the whole thing just crashes. It looks like a great game; its been fun so far. Im disappointed.
The game crashes just as the investigation begins above the town at station where gondola is missing.
The game was working perfectly fine until an update a few months ago. Now it crashes without ceasing. Im very disappointed. We were enjoying it until then.
Theres a lot to like in this game – clever visuals, cunning puzzles, a genuinely oddball sense of humor – but it very clearly isnt ready for wide release, which is embarrassing given how long its been on the market. We agree with other reviewers about the amateurish localization. The English version definitely needs a thorough proofread for basic spelling & grammar. Theres also a general bugginess that would be frustrating enough were it not for other issues. More serious problems turn up the deeper a player moves into the game. Playable objects (some of them crucial to completing puzzles) are missing tags, leaving players in limbo or sending them off in search of a walkthrough. Then theres the ever-tedious issue of forcing players to repeat conversations in hope of uncovering a nugget of useful information. Much of the humor pales on the third pass, and the conversation interactions themselves are poorly engineered. The biggest problem (for us, anyway) is a bug in Chapter 3 that presents an insoluble roadblock. Even though we’ve played the section correctly (Ive checked several walkthroughs) an essential interaction does not work, so Im stranded without recourse. (Playing on iPad Mini 2021, btw.) Dont bother reaching out to support: nobodys home. So, one star for the clever bits & overall ambition. But spend your money on a game that actually works.
Even your updated version crashesand crashes. We love the silly story, but the game Id unplayable.
Auto-save for this game (only) is NOT working on our 2017 iPad Pro (running iOS 13), a real deal-breaker, so, Developers: … If youd like us to review the game please fix the problem and/or explain how to get the feature to function then let us know and Ill be happy to play through and post a review of your otherwise apparently delightful point and click adventure game. Thanks in advance for addressing this issue.
What a beautiful game but its constantly crashing, rendering it unplayable!
We just completed this game in about 6.5 hours on our new iPhone 12 Pro Max. It was wonderful to find myself immersed in a game and its storyline. The gameplay took us back to the days of Monkey Island, Loom and Grim Fandango. We wish more people made games like this. Our experience was completely glitch-free and the hotspot indicators ensured that it remained fun instead of being an exercise in frustration. This is not a game for the ADD generation as it requires thinking, listening and no killing whatsoever to progress. The only part we didnt enjoy was the seemingly endless series of questions that needed to be answered in exactly the right sequence to escape the sanatorium. We must admit that we needed the help of an online walkthrough for that part. We loved this game and we hope the producers will make more such games. Truly a labor of love and thankfully without any in-game purchases or advertising. For five bucks this is a steal.
Thanks for fixing it graphics are beautiful we wish we had more old school adventure type games like this we would pay money for them all.
Really hard and good but it needs a guide.
We really enjoyed playing this game. We did not have any crashing issues as some others reported. We thought the story line and puzzles were entertaining and also challenging. The only feed back we have is, we wish when you get the map that you could access it anytime rather than in only a couple areas. Other than that we had a lot of fun.
Absolutely loved this point-and-click adventure. Gorgeous artwork. Lovely background music… Which is often overlooked in adventure games… BGM is integral to an immersive game. Likable characters. The voice acting was fine. And the storyline was enjoyable. (although we must add… The adult content is unnecessary) The controls were easy to use. Interacting with inventory items was unique in that the action wouldnt engage unless you had acquired the necessary item. So that reduced the difficulty of the game overall. On the plus side… Theres no drag & dropping every time you get stumped. But still, the entire game was logical and progressed smoothly. No issues with glitches. Seems that some negative reviews here are primarily due to glitches… Which is not a fair review of the actual game. And those people who are complaining about the game being slow or difficult should probably stick to playing angry birds instead. Point and click adventures are supposed to be story-driven and based in logic & creative challenges. This game deserves 5!
We bought it when it first came out and asked for and received a refund because it didnt work on our iPad 5th generation with 128GB of Ram despite the App Store stating it would. After several app updates in response to a ton of warranted complaints about device compatibility, it is now working flawlessly on our iPad and we are so glad we repurchased this game. We were rooting so hard for this game, since it looked so quirky and fun, and is had delivered so far after about 2 hours of gameplay. No crashes, saves work, and very lovely attention to detail. As a German, this game has so many little details and accents that are adorable and well done. A perfect game for fans of relaxing point and click adventures with good characters, scenery and storyline. Please make more of these, but make sure they work for the majority of device owners.
We played this on a 2018 iPad Pro and had no problems. Thoroughly satisfying game!!! Just a couple bugs that didnt affect game play or crash the game like others have reported. We have played it on our iPhone 7 as well, with no problems. The best experience is with the big screen though. Lots of details. Be patient to find the objects. If you cant proceed, you are missing something somewhere. Many times you have to revisit characters and ask engage them in new conversations. It was a nice long game, but we are left wanting more! Truberbrook 2 please. Looking at the credits, it is hard to believe how many people it took to make this and we believe it. Well done guys. We will send the bug report. BTW the credits are like Marvel movies, hint hint.
The game is strikingly beautiful, and the puzzles are fairly interesting. One complaint we have is that the pace of the game is incredibly slowed by the abundance of dialogue, much of which is un-skippable, and including a 5-10 minute musical interlude that also cannot be skipped. The layout is one of our favorite styles, classic point and click adventure in the vein of Kings Quest and Monkey Island, only the inventory items are chosen for you when you interact with something in the screen, and again, the pacing is nearly unbearable. Still we give it 4 stars, because it obviously had a lot of heart and a lot of time put into sculpting the world of Truberbrook.
But the designers fixed bugs and we thoroughly enjoyed this trippy adventure. Looking forward to the next one!
We have an iPad 2 air that has as much memory as it could. Still, this thing crashes easily. Its a marvelous game, but very hard to play for that reason. It badly needs an update.
Beautiful game but it shuts itself down. They need to fix this. Perhaps developers would reevaluate what devices can actually handle their app since so many are having problems with it. We look forward to being able to play this very promising game.
The art work is beautiful. It looks like the story would be fun. It is however one of the more games that tired to play. We are a former closed game tester. This is one we would have had a lot of write ups for. It just does not want to work flawlessly. It takes forever to get one item. The controls within the game were tedious. We are sure the story line was awesome. We just cant go on with this one. We usually never do a low review. We waited until there were some really nice ones to balance this out. Please read some from the good and the bad and the middle before you pay for the game and try it yourself. It may be JUST the game that YOU will enjoy. That is what ratings are for. Use the info and make a decision. Thanks Tezza.
Looks like an amazing game but for us it crashes right from the start. Im bummed and feel that we wasted our money. We have plenty of memory and its compatible with our iPad and we’ve done all the typical things so Im at a loss and will wait for another update.
The version for iPad leaves a lot to be desired. The graphics are not as good as what we had seen on other platforms. The gameplay itself is rather slow and doesnt follow simple logic in many cases. We would recommend just about anything other than this game.
Super disappointed because this looks like a pretty game with a potentially compelling story but it consistently crashes a few minutes into the game in the bedroom of the inn before we can even get out of the room.
While nicely animated, the gameplay can become tedious. Frequently in order to progress, you have to repeat conversations with characters which is a bit illogical. The mechanics of using inventory items is devoid of any thought. If an inventory item can be used, it is automatically selected for you. Most games of this type require you to figure out on your own which inventory item or combination of items to use in a given situation. Finally, and most frustrating is a rendering bug we encountered as we were just about to complete the game. The bug has prevented us from finishing the game. Watching a walkthrough online, the bug became obvious. At one point Gretchen is fighting with Lazarus and a force field generates around them. When we played the game, the force field was a solid, grid of hexagons. When we watched the walkthrough, the grid is supposed to be transparent. This is essential to the progression of the game. In our case the sequence renders incorrectly and leaves us stranded after playing for several hours. Hopefully the developer does a better job on the next one.
Do not buy this game. It really isnt intuitive and one has to tap everywhere boringly and repetitively to progress. We have been stuck in the cave and have both watched walkthroughs and tapped and tapped , repeated steps ad nauseam. Am convinced now that this game has serious glitches even with recent updates. We also seriously doubt the 5 star reviews ? ……. We are going to write to Apple to complain. Do not waste your money.
This game does not work on IPad Air ll. It keeps shutting down. We have tried to reinstall it, but it still doesnt work. Any ideas? Absolutely no response from developers!
Unfortunately we have been unable to play this game due to it crashing every time you need to move into a different scene. Because of this we’ve been unable to make any progress.
We can barely play 5 mins and it crashes, and it does not save our progress. Im not deleting it yet because we paid $5 for it Hopefully it will have an update soon enough that fixes it.
Im sorry we paid a dime for this app. It constantly crashes and does not save.
Changed our rating because the developers were pretty quick at responding to all the complaints of crashing with an update. Now that we have had a chance to play a little with this game, it does play like we were expecting and so far am very happy with it. We love the graphics and if you are like us as someone who tends to give up when we get stuck, they do provide a button to show hot spots which is very helpful and would usually be enough to help figure out what needs to come next. Thank you for fixing the bug so quickly!
We truly enjoyed this game. We hade zero issues and ran into no glitches. The game play is fantastic and the story is very detailed. Our only suggestion would be to allow players to access the post card map earlier on in the game. Walking back and forth between areas was time consuming and frustrating at times. Otherwise, the developers did a fantastic job!
The game functioning is working fine on our iPad. The graphics are impressive. The puzzles are reasonable. The story line is interesting. All in all we like it. With that said our favorite game series would be The Monkey Island series and The Leisure Suit Larry series.
We are not sure why other reviewers are having issues with crashes. We are early in the game but have had NO problems. The game is beautiful. Will update this review when we get further but so far it is absolutely excellent. Update: we are now in chapter 3 and we’ve had absolutely no problems. For those of you that are having problems, make sure that this game is supported on your device and that you have the most current operating system.
This is a fun point-and-click adventure game. The beautiful graphics, interesting story, and quirky characters really made the game for us. We found the puzzles range in difficulty but none are too hard to solve. We did have an issue with the game crashing often on random load screens. Closing the game out of our back ground apps solved the problem every time.
We are in love with this game. <swoon> It is drop dead gorgeous – we were rhapsodizing to friends about the bus winding up the hill during the opening credits, if thats any indication. The way the opening credits/titles are displayed feels more like a feature film than a mobile game. The attention to detail – remember this is set, what, in the 60s? The font used for the chapters is spot on. Its just so beautifully done… Also, knowing a bit of German gave us a heads up on what is possibly in store. So why four stars? Because, like others, we cannot re-enter the Hotel without the app closing. Maybe we should not be going back in? We dont think thats the issue, but we hope its sorted soon because… Did we mention we adore this game so far? Because we do. For the record, playing on new iPad mini 5, with PLENTY of storage. Anxiously awaiting a version update or instruction for how to carry on. Brilliant work, all! Update! Five stars. They must be working hard to stabilize things, because we finished a day ago. So love this game. Thank you for the brilliance and beauty! Now, please go make another.
Thank you for the new update. The game works great now!!!!!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this game! We got about 6.5 hours of game play. Graphics are insanely beautiful. Characters are fun. Puzzles make you think but not too hard. Everything can be solved by trial and error. Only thing Id ask for is the ability to speed character movement, but didnt cause us to love the game any less.
Crashes. We were hoping it was fixed because some of the reviews said it worked. As of Sept 2020 it crashes in the very first scene and cant play. Do not buy this game. We want our $4.45 back! Updated to 4 stars the update to version 1.20 seems to have fixed the problem we will keep playing.
Just decided to take a chance with this one even though the reviews say its unplayable because of crashing. We have an iPad Pro with over 70 gigs of available RAM and it still wont get past the opening screen before it crashes. Did we just throw $5 away? Fix your game and Ill change our review. Edit: the new update fixes the crashing issue. Fun game now that we can play it.
Thank you for the aggressive attention updating the app. Beautiful graphics, easy to use interface, and overall enjoyable game. Updated our original rating after the last games patch – rocky start but outstanding end result! Looks like a fun game on our iPhoneX but wont play on our iPad Pro (9.7 inch) which has much more than 3gb of available space. For a paid game Id have expected the description of supported hardware to be more accurate. The graphics look great on our phone and the interface was nice but challenging on our phone so we gave it 2 stars. Ill be very hesitant if we have any future purchases with this developer.
