Community Insight:
Glitch games never fails to deliver, and this one is no exception. Telling a complex story along with offering a difficult challenge while still remaining doable is something you dont see much of these days.
We absolutely love these Glitch games. We enjoyed this one a lot though by the 8th and 9th chapters we really needed the online game guide or we wouldnt have made it through. More solutions in the hints would be helpful but otherwise another fantastic game.
Overall, we enjoyed this game. Most of the steps in solving each puzzle made sense. A few seemed totally random, but it was better than many other games in the genre. Our biggest gripe was the background noise. There was the constant sound of fans whirring, tv static, alarms blaring, etc. We understand having some noise for ambiance, but it seems like the developers picked the most grating and annoying sounds possible and left them on constantly. While we could adjust the settings to turn the sound off/down, that meant also getting rid of all the other non-ambient sounds as well. It really soured what was otherwise a fun game.
We enjoy Glitch games, by and large. But theres an unfortunate tendency of being placed in an uncomfortable situation and the designers trying to heighten the immersion by including noises and effects that make the experience of playing the game itself annoying. And theres really no difference between cruelly subjected a prisoner to sonic torture and simulating sonic torture. The simulation is just as maddening.
First of all, hats off to the devs for the clever reference to Holly v Q in that ep of red dwarf. No one ever gets our references to that show; we laughed so hard when we saw that. Likewise with all the quotes and references to 80s/90s movies and the great sci-fi writers. Your games have fantastic storytelling, never boring and they always keep us immersed. We ADORE all the cheeky notes and self-aware comments, and the puzzles are extremely satisfying and hard enough to always stay interesting. We still owe you rave reviews on Cabin Escape, Forever lost 1-2-3, and the Forgotten Room as well. Like many others we came here after playing The Room series and then House of Da Vinci. Im so happy we gave Glitch games a chance, Im afraid we are about to binge-play them all and then wonder what to do with the rest of our life.
We are a big fan of these types of puzzle games and we expect a lot. The Glitch games are almost on par with Rusty Lake which we love. The puzzles are challenging without being impossible. We had to use a clue on a couple of places where we were stuck because the particular puzzle just didnt make sense, but it was only twice. There was plenty of game time for the price. We were not disappointed and will buy more if they keep putting these out.
Its impossible to say which Glitch games are our favorites, but we think Veritas and all the Forever Lost ones are unbeatable! We nearly made it thru the entire game without hints or walkthroughs, until we hit the very end. Ive played every Glitch game more than once, and Im so happy to have this one now! Well, Im CRYING right now because its over.
Sorry – just our opinion, its a clever enough game, it got tedious and we deleted it. Things like the piano – hitting the right key wasnt enough, you have to hold it down. Finally got tire of trying to figure out what to do with the bedroom access card and punched out.
We really like Glitch games in general, but this one was hard to get through. The lag is horrible (Im on the latest version as of Dec 2022) and it turned our iPad into a heater. We were seriously starting to wonder if it was finally time to replace the iPad until we saw that lots of other people were having the same problem. The atmosphere was mostly effective (though we could do without grating, repetitive sounds you cant turn off, such as busted electronics crackling) and the puzzles were good, but Id advise steering clear of this and trying a different Glitch game.
Eerie without being over the top. Challenging puzzles and a good hint system. A story that kept us engaged at every step. The graphics and sound design were excellent. We cannot wait to see what Glitch Games does next.
We love escape games. Have been playing them for decades. This is the first Ive played from this developer. For the most part we enjoyed the experience but there was a couple things that make us hesitate trying another. What we love: -Having a storyline that is pretty easy to follow. -The puzzles were mostly logical and medium difficulty. -the hint function was helpful from time to time. -the camera to take screenshots of things you want to remember -the ability to write on the photos you take What was not enjoyable: -the edit function on the photos was buggy on our iPhone. It would often close the photo you were writing on. We eventually just used the screenshot function of our phone. -it was tedious to get around the large world. We spent a good chunk of our time wandering aimlessly around trying to find a certain clue or object that was many rooms in the past. Then getting back to where you needed to go. Was just so tedious. We found we greatly prefer games that keep you confined to 1-2 rooms only for ease of accessibility. Sure it was a little more realistic, but it got old, fast. Overall a good quality game. Not sure if Ill try another though just due to the tediousness of it.
Updated July 2022: appreciate the response from the developers. We reported the issue on December 2021, and after some research found out that it had been reported by others. We received a response about a week ago. We enjoy the games, the lack of response when we encounter a problem not so much. Bought the game but now it wont let us restore the purchase. Play once and then repay for the game? Seems like a scam. Contacted developer and never heard back. Apparently so have others. Love their games but we will not spend on any more until this is solved.
Fun story, game play was intuitive, puzzles were challenging, but not impossible. Love your work. All we can say is please keep the games coming.
If youre new to Glitch games, Id strongly recommend the Forever Lost series. Those are some of our favorite escape room games ever. We found this one to be more tedious and less accessible. For one thing, its a much bigger game world, which means lots of backtracking. Couple that with a time delay every time we load a new scene, and something as simple as movement becomes a chore. There are also some extra complicated and obtuse puzzles. Finally, the story didnt really build up to anything, with an anticlimactic ending. Despite these flaws, its got the same just-one-more-puzzle addictiveness that the other Glitch games have, so we would recommend it to someone who has played the others and wants more.
The game is a good idea & all but running this app makes our phone overheat HOT! And run through battery like there's no tomorrow.
Very intricately detailed storyline and graphics. The hints dont give too much away at once and are nice for when you get stuck. The plot is interesting and the details make the scenes and puzzles more interesting.
Ive played all of your games. Im out of games. Please Make more as the are some of the best ones out there.
This was by far your best game ever! Story line, puzzles, length and graphics very good and smooth and just the right amount of degree of difficulty! Please make more like this one! Well worth the money.
The interface is excellent. We really like what can do with the photos you take in the game.
We love the game. Easy we. Some spots and challenging in others. We made it half way through the game (maybe). We opened the game today and it started us back at the very start!!! We still have alllll the photos from the last place we were really at clues that still need to be solved. We dont want to have to start over. Help! And we can give it a 5 star.
There were a few times where we got stuck in a screen and the arrow to get us back out wasnt working. They only way we could get out was to delete and restart the whole game when we were already on A later chapter.
Veritas has fun puzzles and the story starts out as intriguing. The tone of the main character dialogue and some of the puzzle answers are off compared to the games pleasingly tense ambiance. Be funny or be creepy, but don't try to be both; it pulls the player out of the game because the humor is jarring instead of amusing. The last chapter seems like it was phoned in and the ending is disappointing and unsatisfying, Im sorry to say. It left us feeling irritated with a game that we had been enjoying.
We've played all the other Glitch games and was excited when we started this one but we were only a couple of levels into it when we deleted it without finishing. It was just too gross. A lot of blood and gore. When we found ourselves looking at human feces that was the last straw.
Game keeps crashing. Not playing again. Waste of money.
We paid for the full game when it first came out and we wanted to replay this game and now its asking us to pay again. If we need to pay every time we wish to replay a game we will not buy any more of your game. What a rip-off. Be warn everyone. Youll need pay if you want to replay this game and other GLITCH games.
So frustrating. The first time we got to Chapter 2 and all our progress disappeared so we had to start over again. This time we were having a lot of fun and got to Chapter 4 and all our progress disappeared again. Love the game but Im not starting over again, The game is on an iPad. Hopefully you can fix so other people can enjoy. Never had this issue with any other Glick games. They are very entertaining and the right amount of challenge.
It was challenging for sure! Best one Ive played in a while.
We bought this game and it was fun until we had issues. Deleted it and downloaded again and it was fine, until in chapter 3 we have the drum sticks and try to play the foot drum (2 pizzas ) and it wont light up second light. Very annoying!!!!! How can you fix this.
We were halfway through chapter 2 when the game crashed and when we reopened the game it played the prologue and had no progress saved. We are not going to go play it again from scratch. Please refund us.
We played the game again after time passed and in chapter 1 around the time of solving the red box, the game throws us out. We try to go back in and it starts at the very beginning. This has happened twice. It doesnt back up the progress in the game and for some reason just quits. We really enjoyed the game! We did keep getting a message during the game that it was backing up our progress. We had to leave the game and then resume to get past that screen because it didnt resume on its own. Other than that, it was awesome. Thank you.
Waited not so patiently for another another Glitch game. Veritas is another outstanding game. If you are on the fence about purchasing this game, do not hesitate because it is worth every penny. Highly recommend this game along with all the other Glitch games.
Ive enjoyed each of their games, the next more than the prior. This one was no exception. We were laid up in the bed nursing a bum foot and we were quite glad that we had endless hours to immerse ourselves in this game. We felt like a whimp every time we had to access the hints but we were SO glad they were there. Only a few hints were so obvious after the fact hat we felt dumb for having cheated. Great game, with a great sense of humor.
Forever Lost 1,2,3 and Alices Cabin were the best games Ive ever played, even better than the Room series because the story is so much better (we felt like we knew the characters personally). Veritas is another masterpiece. As with their other games, the puzzles are not too simple and arent spelled out for you, but the Aha!! Moments are so worth it when you finally solve them. The in app hint system works well too, gradually giving leading hints before finally spelling it out if needed. On top of all this Glitch has a subtle sense of humor that adds to the enjoyment of their games. You cant go wrong with this game or any of Glitches games. Cant wait for their next one.
We love the mystery behind the games. The ending of each game gives us that, wow kinda feeling that we love- like the super twist in a mystery mental thriller movie. The puzzles are not impossible and sometimes we have to put it down because Im overlooking something simple. Glitch is on our top 5 list! Keep doing what you do.
Incredible valuehours of fun for only a few bucks. Our wife and we have played many of the Glitch games, and this is the best so far.
Love how its just hard enough to keep you interested and if you get stuck there is help if you want. Love how there are many missions you can work on at same time.
Ive been a fan of Glitch Games for years. This might be the best one yet, and that is saying something considering the Forever Lost series. The puzzles are sufficiently challenging without being totally obscure; there is a logic behind solutions, with only a few instances where you feel guessing is the only way. The hint system is nicely done. It doesnt give away the game if you need just a little boost, and you can always delve deeper into the hint if you are completely lost. The atmosphere is incredible. Immersive graphics, appropriately moody music, and a storyline that just wont quit. We mean that literally; there are computer terminals that provide depth to the back story that is an easy rabbit hole to fall down if you arent careful. We had to go back and replay the ending a couple of times to make sure the game didnt glitch and skip to the ending. It was that abrupt an ending, which was disconcerting. Our only other quibble is photos arent stored in the order you take them, so if you have lots of pics (which you will, guaranteed) you need to search through them to find what you are looking for. And if you take multiple pictures of a single view (which you will, guaranteed) they are dispersed throughout your collection and more difficult to find. Minor complaints though, for a truly outstanding game. We are already impatiently awaiting the sequel.
Its an excellent series of point-and-click puzzles. Very well done. But something was not quite right with the saving options. It has been some months since we played it, but we remember not being able to finish because as we closed in on the last bit, we lost all of our saved data or progress. And now, we simply dont feel like going through the whole story again to reach that juncture – thats how close to finishing we were. That said, it really is an engrossing and aptly, adequately challenging game. And we are hoping the saving options would have been sorted by now.
While playing the game right around chapter 4 something occurred when the game just closed out. We went to restart the game and the beginning prologue started. Went to load game and there were no saved points. We had to start over. The odd part is all the photos we took previously were still on the camera. Besides that the game a nice long point and click. Well worth the money.
Really good story and game play. There are a couple of bugs (green screens have a tendency to keep moving to top of the screen, at least one instance of loss of game state, a few black screens). They have a backup feature that is off by default. We are enabling it and then playing again.
Been playing this puzzle game for a while now, very much enjoying the game got to the color coded button puzzle and thats probably all the further Ill get, very frustrated because Im color blind grrrr. Cant finish the game.
We have iPad Air 4 and really enjoyed this game but 3 times it crashed and deleted all save progress. We had the cloud backup option and still could not recover save progress. Very upsetting. Would love to leave a positive review but cant since we get so far and it deletes everything. We would like some feedback please.
We would love to give this game 5 stars. Graphics and game play are on point as usual with Glitch Games. However… The game force closed when we started chapter 2, we sucked it up and started over, we wasnt very far into the game. Just happened again in chapter 4. Now we are more bummed out and unwilling to start over. Fix the glitch Glitch Games! Love your previous work.
We loved playing the Forever Lost series years ago, so we were excited to learn they had a new game out. Today is our second time trying to play, but it has twice now crashed and all our progress was lost. Time wasted and money wasted… :(.
Ive been a big fan of the Glitch Games team since the Forever Lost series, and this is quite possibly their finest work! Same compelling storylines and theming, great puzzles, but something even more immersive about this episode. What we particularly like is these are much longer than many of the escape-puzzle type games out there. Well worth the price for the entertainment. Great work! Looking forward to the next episode.
Well-done Glitch Games. We love how it ties to the Forever Lost series and the art gets better with each new game. The puzzles were very challenging. Our only quibble is the ending was very abrupt and there was no commentary.
We'll start this review by saying quite honestly that we couldn't get into the Forever Lost series. We're a big fan of escape-style puzzlers (The Room, House of Da Vinci, Eyes of Ara, Rusty Lake, Isoland, you get the picture), so when we saw everyone on Reddit talking about Forever Lost, we were excited to give it a shot. We found the flow a bit too nebulous for our liking, so when we saw Veritas was released during our weekly scouring of the app store for new puzzlers, we were hesitant. Obviously, we did end up downloading and played it pretty obsessively over the following 2 days. The puzzles are varied and just the right level of difficult (thought provoking, not enraging), and we only got frustrated with one puzzle (wires/knobs puzzle in the sim), which is to be expected and to be fair, we mostly got stuck because we were sure we knew how to solve it and couldn't unstick that being the solution even after it didn't work. Rookie puzzler mistake on our part. The graphics are very good and we thoroughly enjoyed the story. We definitely felt like they struck the right combination of an obvious, linear path to follow while also including a good number of interesting clues/puzzles that tie back to previous or future areas — really encouraged exploring every nook & cranny but didn't make us feel like we were just wandering around looking for something that might work. Hoping Glitch Games will develop more like Veritas! We'll be waiting very impatiently to give you guys our money we do have feedback about the camera system — please ensure that photos appear in the order they were taken in the camera roll, and that when you open the camera roll right after taking a photo, it opens to that photo by default. We'll give you a million high fives in return! The feature that remembers the last photo you were viewing in the camera roll is great (and imo should be the default), but searching through photos to find the one we just took drove us bonkers when we were close to a solution. Also, oddly, sometimes we'd be writing on a photo and the editor would close after every other stroke of the pen tool. Couldn't find a pattern in what caused it, and it wouldn't happen too often so no big.
Ive played just about every escape game in the store…. And very few actually kept us challenged and interested… And this game went above and beyond. The story, graphics, game play, etc…all great. Highly recommend for anybody looking for a fun & challenging escape like game(:.
Another terrific game by Glitch! Clever and engaging and just plain fun. This one is their best yet. Keep em coming, please.
Hands down one of the best creators of escape game out there. All of their games are amazing and Veritas went above and beyond! 5++++ Stars!! Way to go, Glitch.
