Wonderful Games - Special Thanks Lynx Minx & Catalina
I am so glad to be able to enjoy these games again. This is one of my favorite series, and I was very upset when Big Fish just abandoned us.
I tried to go see Big Fish in March when I was in Seattle, but was not able to get in. It almost seemed as if no one was even in the office.
I would like to Thank Catalina and Lynx Minx for all their extremely long and tiresome work they have done to help all of us be able to enjoy the games we all love and enjoy.
Please Lynx Minx or Catalina let me know how I can help. I. Have started sending messages to the game developers, and I’m hoping the more people that send messages the more results we should see.
Also Thank you Oleg Smolyansky and Domini Games Team for bringing us such fun games. I look forward to many more.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Memorial Day Weekend.Show lessseize73

undercoverzip, thank you for your comment! We're glad that you liked our game.Another great game!
Update: Received a quick response from Domini support team, the issue was resolved effortlessly and quickly, thank you Domini! Loving the length of play with this game and enjoying every moment of the colorful graphics, switching between characters and entertaining puzzles. 💕
Old review: Very excited for another game! However, I purchased the game and it doesn’t recognize my purchase; clicking on the already paid causes a continuous loading, to the point that I have to finally cancel the request.Show lessPudytat808

UPDATE : March 3 Good news everyone! It seems that Domini has installed their update for Mystery Tales, and Dracyy, who is an original Dream Team Elite member, has informed us that the game is working well and enjoyable to play! Domini, thank you for the quick response!
As far as Artifex Mundi goes they have been untruthful to the gaming community. Secret Order 7 Shadow Breach is shown as unavailable in this country/region, yet they are advertising it and reporting that they have released it. How can you tell gamers a new game is released when its not and then charge them a monthly subscription fee for their AM club, in which you are supposed to have one new game per month? They are underhanded and I for one cannot support this type of behavior. I have unsubscribed from their AM club and I suggest you do the same if you joined. I have sent them 3 emails and they refuse to respond. If this game is not released as of today, they are going to receive a very unpleasant email from me. I did tell them that they would suffer a loss in revenue as a result of this fiasco. I hope that many of you will contact them as well to complain about this unfair situation! Remember I cannot do everything myself and neither can my amazing friend Catalina. I am sorry to give you bad news but it is our obligation to keep you informed.
UPDATE: February 28 Hey gamers! Two new releases on iOS today, so good news. First our beloved Oleg from Domini released a new Mystery Tales and Artifex Mundi purportedly released the Secret Order 7. It’s not out yet but should be available later today.That’s probably Sunward, but I don’t know yet. If they don’t release it today, they’re in violation of their AM club, so I told them they had better do it and they’re somewhat afraid of me so check tonight! Update: At 9:00 pm this game still has not appeared on the App Store. I don’t know what the issue is, but I have contacted Artifex Mundi. Truthfully don’t be too quick to sign up for their club. It doesn’t really seem to save money if you’ve already bought all their games. I will probably cancel my subscription. In any event at least we have some games to play, thanks to our DTE. I want to invite a couple of gamers to join. I am extending an invitation to undercover zip and I’m an Awesome Person (you really are) to join me and the DTE. All you need to do is write thorough reviews and hype the games. No automatic 5 stars if they have flaws! It’s just an honor bestowed for loyalty and we need your help. If you have any additional information on other developers please fill us in. Welcome aboard! Remember gamers look to us for help because that’s what we try to do. For those of you who don’t know, Catalina and I worked tirelessly with Oleg and Domini, as well as Elephant, developed a relationship, and now we have games. So you must review if you want these games and don’t complain about pricing. Thanks everyone and have a great day!
Thank you Oleg for another fabulous installment in this beloved series! This twisted adaptation of Phantom of the Opera will delight fans of Domini and the series. As usual, you play from the perspective of the two protagonist lovers. The game is gorgeous, lengthy and exquisite, and you can customize every aspect, from the general gameplay to the map indicators, as well as the difficulty level of the mini-games. For collectibles enthusiasts, you must collect gems to decorate a dressing room, artifacts associated with opera, and posters. The graphics were colorful and exquisite. There were tons of complex items to assemble, and when you apply inventory items, expect a magical occurrence. They might open a hidden cache, thrust you into an HO scene, or into a puzzle, or you will receive another item. Each location had a plethora of tasks to accomplish, and you will meet many helpful (and not entirely altruistic) spirits along your magnificent and magical journey. The HO scenes had a terrific variety, as well as an alternate match-3 puzzle. The puzzles/mini-games were mostly rotational in nature, but there were also games of logic, dexterity and skill, codes and an interesting one where you needed to use a map. Gameplay was exciting and held my interest.
Truly it is bothering me that I cannot rate it a full 5 stars, but there were a couple of issues that prevented me from doing so. Even after the game had been updated, which was very quickly done, some of the mini-games were impossible to manipulate and I had to skip them. In addition, the map occasionally indicated an available task before the necessary inventory item had been acquired, leading me to wonder if I missed something. Normally Domini has amazing quality assurance so I don’t know what happened. However, it was still an incredible game and well worth the price of only $2.99. Thus, my true rating will be 4.5 stars. This is a must-play adventure!
Happy gaming everyone!
UPDATE: I play with the game muted so I didn’t know there was an issue with the voices. Welcome back to KimTwilight. I missed you! Thank you for recognizing the lengths that Catalina and I went to in order to get games. Unfortunately we both got very sick with shingles, because it was so horrendously stressful. I am confused about a “reduced price.” I thought the game was priced at $2.99 without a trial, and that was a steal for what you get from Domini.
I still haven’t played Secret City but I am looking forward to it, and everyone has been rating it highly so I probably will love it. Oleg, once again thank you! You have restored our faith that there are wonderful people out there, no matter what BigFish did to us!Show lesslynx minx
No Hiding Behind A Mask From This Great Game!
Domino delivers yet another outstanding production. The storyline delivers a sinister, loosely based interpretation of the novel "The Phantom of the Opera" (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra), written by French author Gaston Leroux in 1910, and published in English in 1911. The novel was later adapted into Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous 1986 musical.
The series' trademark continues, as you play the roles of both Protagonists — male and female lovers — to gain their distinct perspectives of what is going on around them. As you switch between the two roles, the inventory items change accordingly, and this adds a refreshing touch to the gameplay. The kidnapping theme is a heavily used cliché, but it's an important aspect that adheres to the novel's storyline. Finding your true love won't be easy — you have to search through an underground world of tortured souls, hanging bats, ghastly statues, and deadly contraptions.
The graphics are a visual feast for the eyes, as they are accentuated by a bright and colorful palette, mostly composed of varying shades of green, red, and purple, giving the atmosphere a mystic aura. The artistic designs of the environments as well as the characters' appearances appropriately reflect the time period. The playful background animations keep me entertained, as I poke around the scenes, watching shoes turn into slippers.
The HOSs largely consist of storybook types to convey the backstory. There are a few other formats that include snippets of interactive elements. The varied puzzles are entertaining and sometimes challenging; the solutions of such will advance your objectives. I admire how this developer lets a player configure the difficulty of the puzzles to a harder setting. The Collectibles are informative and relative to musical theater; I especially love decorating the dressing room.
The musical aspect of the game is disappointing; the audio is mainly low-key, except for occasional creepy background noises. I think some instrumental music and opera singing should have been incorporated into the game. Unfortunately, my enjoyment was further hindered by occasional touch sensitivities throughout the game, such as applying the makeup to the mannequin in the Instrument Storage scene. It took much persistence to finally get the little guiding pointer to appear and apply the items.
All things considered, the interesting storyline and gameplay maintained my attention all the way to the end. But due to the tedious touch sensitivities, I've deducted a star. Therefore, my final rating is 4 stars. I would like to thank the developers for promptly issuing an update to fix the voice overs. I highly suggest giving the free trial a spin.Show lessKimTwilight69

So far no problems. Love the detail and color in the scenes. Enjoy the hunt for collectibles. Plot looks like a great ghost adventure. Still in trial but this is my weekend game and I will be glad for it. Thanks.
Update: Very honored to help with ratings and reviews. I so love these games and am still grateful for everyone’s efforts. Just remember, as my daughter says, you are technically and computer challenged. 😏
I too play with volume off and will finish this tonite, any changes and will note. Anticipating a fix on the newest that disappeared, the trial was a winner till it closed out.Show lessI'm an awesome person22
