  • Auto save bug

    I go stuck on chapter 3 and finally tracked it down to an auto save bug. Or rather the game does not auto save so when you return to the app, previous progress may be erased to the last manual save. But you have no idea that’s the case. It’s pretty bad. I wasted a couple of hours roaming around chapter 3 trying to find more work for Tom. Lazy man, find it yourself!
  • Touch screen doesn’t work

    iPhone 7+. When you move app to the background and you get back to it the touch screen doesn’t work. That’s happens constantly and not related to any special scenarioS which means the app doesn’t work on iPhone 7+ not the company still charge for it. There is no app support only support forum so there is no way to send emails. In the drop down there is it even this game. Is it a step son? Rating will not change until the app start working or refund will be issued. Otherwise it’s considered a rip off and should be reported as such.
  • Controls freeze

    Thoroughly enjoying this amazing game, atmosphere, story, voice acting all 5 stars, however a bug seems to have locked up all the controls. After the monks start chanting in the cathedral I saved and quit. On coming back into the game the controls are frozen as if the touch screen is unresponsive, making it totally unplayable. I hope this bug gets ironed out as id really rather not restart the game again.
    (A recommendation to new players would be to save across multiple slots incase this bug happens to you!)

    Edit: this has been fixed! Thank you I am able to keep playing.
  • Sound

    I found the story very interesting. The problem was after about five minutes the sound got bad and just got steadily worse
  • WOULD be a great game if it weren't so glitchy

    I regret spending money on this game. I loved the book and wanted to play the game because of it. At first I thought the glitches were because of my phone, but the game only lets me play so far every once in a while before crashing. Half the time I open the game and can touch my screen all I want but nothing happens. Tried contacting support but with no luck. Finally caved and deleted and reinstalled the game only to have the same problem with all my progress (up to chapter 4) gone. The visuals are beautiful for a phone game but it's worthless if you can't actually play the game.
  • Pillars of The Earth

    Amazing game, only problem is the action points, can't click on anything.
  • Broken controls

    Has the potential to be a very interesting game. Controls are broken and need to be fixed. Until then, it is not playable.
  • Not what I expected to like as much as I have.

    I’m very into history as well as social/cultural anthropology. This is a piece of work that, even with my ignorance from not reading the original material that this game is based on, I can tell took a lot of care to the environment that creates three dimensional characters within the proper context. It has a religious basis, and I am not a religious person; but it does not alienate and preach. More about humanity and personal choices.
  • No sound

    I really like this game however it is mostly unplayable because the sound is mute, no voices, music, background. Please fix this or refund my $4.99. A paid app shouldn’t have such a huge glitch...
    Oh and I have looked through the developer’s help site... no patch for this mentioned.
  • Totally worth it!

    I first got the game for my PC and I love it, though I have not completed the game yet. So once I saw it was available on the App Store I got excited and bought it. I am not disappointed, it’s great export and I get to play the game on the go. My only problems are that at times the audio can randomly cut out and I will have to restart the game, I’m having problems with touch controls, I don’t mean they sometimes don’t work, I actually can’t click anything. Maybe I can figure out the issue. And at times I’m also having problems with saves. The saves are sometimes not working and take me to a black screen with some random questionable audio. Over all I’m satisfied and I can’t wait until the next part comes out on the App Store!
