  • Glitches

    Normally, I enjoy this series. However, there are too many glitches. The game is frozen at the basketballs in the fraternity room. I can’t get past this. Very disappointed. Please fix!!
  • No enjoying

    Thinks are really not clear and the games don’t work very hard to do it’s like they don’t work just stared and had to skip 2 of the 3 games will not be buying this game
  • Entertaining

    Enjoying this game. Looks like the chapters are short but I am finding lots to do.
  • One of the worst games in recent history!

    I purchased this game sight unseen because I love murder mysteries and the quality of Eipix games. Boy, I was proven wrong!

    My favorite thing to do is to locate and select hidden objects in each scene. I couldn’t select the first object (mortarboard). The “teleporting” map does not teleport. The map does not show the hidden objects location. Slow to refresh. Crappy graphics, etc.

    A waste of $3.99!
  • Painful 😣

    I normally love this series, however this one was not up to par. Very disappointed, as I felt that there were just way too many puzzles and overall navigation was a chore. I personally, did not experience any glitches, just painfully boring. Recommend playing the trial and seeing if it’s your cup of tea. Definitely not mine. This series took a wrong turn on this one. Hopefully, our next release will be better.

  • Dead Reckoning: Lethal Knowledge by LynxMinx

    Seriously, BigFish, you need to do something about EIPIX. This game had so many technical issues it was a chore to play! The graphics were terrible, the game was extremely short, and the teleport map did not function properly. You had to tap on a location about 20 times to teleport. In addition, it was extremely hard to manipulate objects. At the beginning of the game, it took me 30 minutes to get the desk unlocked because the game wouldn’t allow me to pick up the key properly. It’s unfortunate because the storyline was good and some of the puzzles were fun. When a game is that difficult to play though, you get fed up and just want to be done. We have been complaining about EIPIX lack of quality assurance and this was it at its worst!
    I won’t go into any other game features because I don’t feel like this developer merits my time! I would have rated it 4 stars had it run properly, but that wasn’t the case. Gamers, if you want to be as miserable and frustrated as I was with this game, by all means purchase it. I stupidly did so without even playing the free trial because I like this series. What a mistake!
    Hopefully we will get something that runs well next week, like Domini!
    Happy gaming to all (not this game)!
  • We're Off To A University To Study: Murder 101!

    My favorite type of genre is one that does not involve chasing after supernatural entities and instead presents a real-life murder mystery in which I become completely immersed within the plot as it unfolds.

    This is why "Dead Reckoning" is one of my favorite series. Each successive sequel continues to capture my attention with engaging twists and suspenseful story lines, set within true-to-life locations. In this sequel, I am thrilled to return to university life, vicariously re-living those days when I was a student, except this time I get to solve a murder mystery. One particular aspect I admire in this series is that the characters' personalities are usually fleshed out, thanks to the investigative nature of the plot. I love how this developer puts a refreshing spin on gameplay, implementing state-of-the-art technology utilized by hi-tech institutions. For example, you utilize a tablet — equipped with various Apps — which functions as an all-in-one guide to help you get around.

    The interrogative techniques are revamped with a contemporary flair; however, I won't disclose those details to avoid ruining your surprise. One remark about the teleport map is that you need to directly click on the light blue color beneath the indicators to transport to locations; otherwise, you might find yourself clicking endlessly, while remaining stationary.

    The sometimes-challenging HOSs incorporate unique interactions and implement technological elements. In one particular scene, I loved the creativity in finding the differences between split-paneled depictions in a newspaper. I am surprised that a few scenes are revisited, although the formats are altered. Some of the puzzles are technologically oriented, thus complementing the theme of the storyline. The pinball-machine game was fun and offered a nice degree of difficulty. Be sure to tap everywhere because there are a lot of amusing achievements to fulfill relating to student life, such as waking up a sleeping student.

    One trivial gripe is that the graphics are still fuzzy. However, the reason I deducted a star is because teleporting from the map is like being stuck on a deserted island — you just can't get off it. Other than that, this is a solid game, and hence the 4 stars.
  • Dated

    I am not a fan of this series, as the map is almost useless, and response time is sluggish. Overall, the storyline is awkward and trite. I may not finish as it is almost a chore to continue.
