Short game but enjoyable
A very short game to play for the money paid. Graphics are good and the game only crashed twice, story line could do with a bit more depth as it doesn’t really make sense. The end is incredibly abrupt and confusing. I wouldn’t pay 6.99 again.
Good puzzles and games
I don’t play games for the cut scenes or the storyline so if this something you like this review probably wont mean much, but I do love a detective game where you can change locations and they bring new and different puzzles This one truly has great puzzles combined with great detective sequences. *It has a map to show you where to go if you get stuck (on easy level). *It doesn’t have any upgrades or “lives” to cost you any extra money! *It has good hidden object scenes. I wouldn’t say they are the hardest Ive ever come across, but they put them in at the right times and it works nicely. *You can replay all the hidden object scenes whenever you want after you’ve finished the full game *There are a few difficulty levels to choose from and there is always the “hint” button if you ever need it. *The price is fantastic for what you get! And Big Fish Games has the best options for this style of game: a little detective work, HOS, location changes, thought puzzles (although I always skip the math ones haha,) etc. *Big Fish Games has the best graphics out there for this kind of game. I would recommend all of their Mystery Case Files Collection including Ravenhurst as well as their Bound series and Queen Sands. 5 stars from me! Happy Puzzling fellow Detective Puzzlers!!

Couldn’t stop playing this!
Such a fun game. I didn’t want it to end but I also didn’t wanna stop playing! The puzzles were sometimes hard but having ability to skip part or whole puzzle helped a lot. I paid for full version and I rarely do that. Can’t wait for more games like it but would also be great if it were free!
Probably the worst MCF
Been a fan of MCF for years so revisited in lockdown. This is probably the worst they’ve done, the old ones were so good. This one is like a half hearted attempt at a mystery game, I can’t understand where they’ve gone wrong. Far too easy and poor story line.
👍
Good game, not to many HOs, puzzles mixed tricky/easy, good length of both main game and bonus. Everything there that you need, map etc. Got it on sale..a plus, but the dodgy Scottish accent not good !!! Still recommended. 😉 🏴
Major problem
The bonus game can only be accessed when the main game is completed. If you leave the bonus game at any point before it is completed, you can no longer access it to continue. You must play the main game again. 2 stars for this reason.
Intense
This is technically a brilliant game but it is so macabre and intense. Quite easy to play on the hard mode and full of variety and changing scenarios. The only reason I have given it 4 stars and not 5 is because the voice dialogue has little or no sound even when you pump it up and reduce the music and effects sounds to zero. However, because of the sub titles you can follow the story so not really a problem.

Black Veil = Too Black!
Update: Just played for a 2nd time. Game was worse than I remembered - it crashed before I was able to complete bonus chapter. Screen froze, I closed and reopened and could not get back to where you select bonus chapter, thereby rendering it is accessible for me to finish.
Mini games were either laughably simple or diabolically impossible to understand.
I would not buy this game for any more than a few dollars at the very most.
(Playing on a newer iPad Pro)
Major pros: VG graphics, what you'd expect from MCF.....some clever mini-games and HOPs (I like the game-within-a-game HOPs)
Major cons: 1) Most HOPs are too dark - I thought they could have developed more cleverly-hidden objects, as opposed to just darkening the screen to make it more difficult.
2) The mini game instructions were either unclear, or made solving way too easy. No consistency.
I've made this game last as I got easily bored/frustrated, and left it alone for a few days at a time.
SUMMARY: I like Eipix, but Black Veil is not up to a par with other MCF games.

Loving This
I love how dark this game is. It pulled me into the story, right away. I am put back by the audio errors. Within the first Chapter, I lost the audio from the characters. I also occasionally loose the audio from the game.
Above the norm
I play a lot of these games. This one is quite long and creative. It has more than just HOPs for games. I only wish I could go back and replay some of them separately once the full game ended. Still worth the 5 stars though. Keep these up. Looking forward to the next one.
