I love everything but ...
Terrors is great, I love it! I’m approx 3/4 through, so I can only write about what I’ve seen so far.The storyline isn’t anything new, (scientific experiment gone wrong, & the innocent test subjects have horrible experiences b/c of it.) but as long as you get the basic info from the folders, that’s really all you need. (the folders are part of the game, not collections, & will show with the hint button, if need be. Jane’s grandfather, (Is he alive, or is it his death spirit helping out? IDK just yet) tells you all that’s important, & pushes you in the right direction to solve the current terrors (Nightmares/Night Terrors).
You have to deal with each patients’ nightmares in another dimension/world, then come back to the house where the studies are taking place, and find the next patient... Then repeat.
You might think it sounds monotonous by my description, but it’s not. There are very few actual puzzles, it mainly focuses on HOGs.
That’s the only reason I didn’t give this game a 5*. The HOGs are waaaaayy to sensitive. If you’re trying to get an object that looks to be an inch or two from the bottom, it throws you back out into the room you’re in before you clicked on the HOGs. It gets very frustrating after awhile. Even when you’re not playing a HOG, you need to be careful it to click lower than 1-2” from the bottom - it will also take you back to the previous room.
I kept being thrown back into a previous room, and I was almost 3” from the bottom.
That touch sensitivity is great in the HOGs, you always get the item on the first try ... as long as it’s more to the middle of the screen; but just a bit too much when you’re out of the game, and back into the “regular screens”.
That sensitivity aside, the game is a good length, & it’s fun to play - I’ve been on it all day, b/c I’m enjoying it too much to stop! ;)
4 solid stars from me for another great “RedemptionCemetery” game!

Redemption Cemetery: Night Terrors by LynxMinx
The issue with this game is that the screen interface is problematic! Once again, ERS ruins the experience for us, with a game that seems glitchy when it really isn’t the case. The game screen extends only about 60% downwards until the inventory bar, making it extremely annoying because you will accidentally back tap to a previous location, out of an HO scene or puzzle, or out of a zoom zone.
You could customize settings. The storyline was a bit confusing and twisted but I was still able to grasp the general idea of the plot, and it held my interest. There was no cohesive journal but objectives and tasks were regularly updated, and you had a cell phone in which they were stored. Since this was a horror-themed game, the graphics were grim and frightening, but the quality of the graphics was excellent. The cut-scenes were quite electrifying as well. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. You were provided with a marked teleport map to transport you between locations, albeit with a slight delay. At certain locations you must collect a statuette. There were no morphing objects in the game, which was fantastic for me! The general gameplay was entertaining and the game flowed smoothly, and except for the aggravating back tapping issue, was actually glitch-free. The HO scenes were mostly word lists, and occasionally there was variation, but nothing very unusual. There was an interesting mix of puzzles/games, and there was quite a bit to accomplish at each location, because an ERS game does not provide you with a plethora of scenes to unlock. This game was not very long, even inclusive of the bonus adventure.
I enjoyed this game, but must deduct stars due to the interface and the accidental back tapping! Also, the game needed a faster refresh rate. Why can’t ERS give us a back button, which would solve the problem with their gameplay interface? My true rating will be 3.5 stars. I actually liked this game better than I believed I would.
Happy gaming everyone!
UPDATE: Seriously BigFish are you trying to make us that miserable? Another Redemption Cemetery on top of this one? If ERS churned them out so closely together you can best believe that the new one will have some quality assurance issues!
Next month we will be getting a new game (a new Legacy) from Five BN Uk. That’s something to look forward to. It’s out on Googleplay but they said in April it will be available on other platforms, so hopefully they meant iOS. Shouldn’t we be getting a new game from our friends at Artifex Mundi soon? To answer that question, it’s already out and it’s called Chronicles of Magic. It must have just been released!
Izzyoc, where are you? You are our best link to game knowledge and I haven’t seen any reviews from you lately. I hope you are well!

Really glitchy on iPad mini
As others have said the screen touch is buggy as it backs out of the HOs if I tapped anywhere in the bottom third of the puzzle. I had to enlarge the screen to get a couple of objects by moving them up higher. Also the continue buttons at the bottom of the screen do not work. I have to tap on the upper part of the screen to continue. Thirdly I kept returning to previous locations when trying to pick up items in the bottom third of the screen. I made it through the game but used the hint button far more than usual instead of checking out objects because of the problems. I found several choices illogical. I can pick a red hot object out of the fire with my hands? No glove or tongs? It was just frustrating and I was glad to be done with it and didn’t waste any time deleting it.

Loved It!
Need more like this please! No complaints here!
Pretty cool game!
Pretty awesome except glitches when trying to accomplish certain task it can make you crazy...
Wild!
This is a graphic intensive thriller. While the storyline is pretty bizarre, the developer put a lot into the special effects which were all crisp and clear. The hidden object scenes were interactive and I found creativity in them. Some of the puzzles were unique and fun as well. It is true, as stated by others that there are some glitches - however, they were just a nuisance, as you have to tap multiple times to obtain an object. I have always enjoyed this series, but be prepared for the intense and violent graphics at times. Lot's of running around to perform tasks, however teleporting map was provided. Nice long game, with plenty to see and do. You'll have to make your own decision on this one. I am not sorry that I purchased it on sale.
Lot's of work went into creating this game.
KdBoots ( 3-4 stars my rating for finished game)
I also wanted to mention - I have been looking for our new release today and nothing so far! I really hope that all the fellow gamers will stop with so much complaining about the games. Opinions are good - however no one needs to pick the games to pieces. After all each developer has their own style and I am sure creating these games isn’t easy.
We’re to enjoy them - if it is not your style then don’t buy it.

Kinda Stuuupid!!!!
And to those who had a prob with the continue through the storyline.... it tells you to double tap. I had no prob with any part of the game function but it was so simplistic I just couldn’t get into it. No challenge at all.. no morph objects and kinda boring collectibles.. big fish is still my favorite but we need more suspense!! Or at least I do!! 😊. Thanks!

No Redemption! This One's Staying Six-Feet Under!
The following review is based on the free-trial only:
Warning! There are disturbing scenes containing graphic violence!
ERS changed their name to AMAX Interactive. However, the name change does not sugarcoat the serious imperfections plaguing their games, nor does it change the fact that they should retire and find a new occupation. Their series are among the worst in the hidden-object genre. This installment might be the worst in this series in almost every way possible. The storyline has no rhyme or reason, as I find myself running around, wondering what to do next. This series typically overuses horrifying tropes, such as tortured apparitions requesting your aid, the exploration of gloomy and decrepit grounds, and menacing entities thwarting your objectives.
The music accentuates a foreboding and dreadful ambiance, which plays well into the haunting theme of the storyline. The highlight of this game is the visual appeal; the quality of the graphics is attention-worthy, with sharp and clear details that portray a natural-looking finish.
You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map facilitates delayed travel to desired locations and indicates available actions.
For anyone who looks forward to being pleasantly surprised by trend-setting gameplay, this game is a total downer. The types of formats and techniques applied to both the HOSs and puzzles are run of the mill. With that said, the HOSs and puzzles are sometimes creatively presented. The collectibles are scant, with only 12 items within a singular set to discover.
The other bad news is that I encountered several glitches during the free trial: 1. The "continue" button and/or tapping on the dialogue box does not advance the dialogue. You need to tap on the screen for the dialogue to continue. 2. Transition between cut-scenes and locations is sluggish and clunky. 3. This game desperately needs a "back" button to avoid unwanted returns to prior scenes; if I tap in the lower third of the screen, then back I go.
This game feels antiquated, like it should have been released two, even three, years ago. The only reason I bothered playing the free trial is because according to BFG's Facebook page, Redemption Cemetery is the only IOS game released this week. The other mobile game, which we've already played, is out on Android. Hopefully, BF erred in their post and will release a second game on Wednesday. But either way, no purchase for me.

A bit outdated
This is not a bad game, but nothing great about it either. The biggest concern is that in the HOs the touch is off. Tapping anywhere in the lower 1/3 of the game backs one out of the HO.
Play the free trial and then decide if it is worth the sale price.
