Maybe it’s me

I have always had and still do have great appreciation for everyone who develops these games. You all Rock!

I’ve been playing these types of games for 10+ years. Over the years I have given a ton of 5 star reviews.

SPOILER ALERT
I don’t know if this game was as repetitive and basic as I feel; or I have just grown (grew???) tired of playing them. The repetitiveness in the game goes like THIS...

You walk into a new room/realm, the bad guy attacks another character, that character is supposed to help me, now they need my help to live, I have to help them before they’ll help me, I heal them with bandage/potion, then they say they can’t help me, but say, “Here, have this, maybe it will help”, then they give me a ridiculous or extremely specific item. (Cup, medallion, or something like a bike tire pump that I happen to need a scene later) This scenario/sequence is in the game 4-6 times, and is the only scenario throughout the bonus chapter.

By the end of the game, I was just going though the motions.

Sorry 😐

Hi, Pixle Lily! Thank you for your detailed review! Our team really appreciates it! Now our game-designers team is working on storylines to make them more appealing and engaging.

Really enjoy this developers games

Puzzles are enjoyable-make you think but not have to have a engineers degree. HOP are actually hidden objects and not just a darker graphics screen. Story lines are engaging to the point you don’t hit skip. Most have a ongoing character development so the next game you are finally with game story.

Very glitchy

Lots of glitches in many different scenes

Disappointed

Just started to get interested in the game and finished level one to find that i have to pay for game if i want to continue. Couldn't see anything in information that states this, apart from in app purchases which most games have anyway

Secret City: Sunken Kingdom by LynxMinx

UPDATE August 6: Labyrinths of the World: Lost Island has just been released! Enjoy!
I am sending a huge thank you to the amazing and loquacious KimTwilight, who basically wrote an entire novel in regards to this game. I am in agreement with her on all points discussed, so my review will be abbreviated.
Once again, we had the same banal storyline, where an evil entity stole souls for power and immortality. However, I did enjoy the interactions among the various races of the secret city, and that the gameplay occurred under the sea. The graphics were actually quite detailed and did not look replicated in every location. Missemerican pie, kindly check the definition of pixelated. The graphics were not pixelated; however they did lack a certain degree of acuity or clarity.
I was not thrilled with the side tab added for collectibles, rather than glowing circles above the inventory bar. However, I realize why Domini chose to do so. They wanted to make the inventory items larger to see and more accessible to use. Once you get used to the tab, it’s not so bad. Also remember that you may configure your map to indicate whether you still have collectibles to locate.
The general gameplay was enjoyable, save for the temperamental touch screen sensitivity issues. Although the game was updated, I had to tap repeatedly and firmly in order to acquire inventory items, and that problem annoyed me greatly. I intend to pass my concerns along to Oleg, because I would hate to experience quality assurance issues in their next game. (By the way, next out will be Labyrinths of the World: Lost Island, and it will be released in the first couple of weeks in August, barring any holds placed on it by the App Store.)
The HO scenes had variety, and the puzzles/mini-games were not all boring rotational nonsense. There were codes to decrypt, a labyrinth, a map puzzle, and one where you could paint. Sometimes one puzzle led to another, or an HO scene, or a magical event. Inventory usage was unusual at times. You had to brew potions and use alchemy to save the inhabitants of the sunken city. Each location had a plethora of tasks to complete.
The game wasn’t the longest we have seen from Domini, but it was a decent length inclusive of the bonus adventure.
My rating will stand at 4 stars. I deducted a star for the unoriginal storyline, and especially for the severity of the touchscreen sensitivity issues. Quality assurance needs to be resolved in the next game!
Lynxie sends positive energy to the incredibly hunky Valentin.🤙🏻
Gamers, please send great vibes to Catalina, who is recovering from a very serious surgical procedure. We hope you feel better very soon!
Happy gaming to everyone!

Love DoMini Games...buy you wont be disappointed

Such a beautiful and creative game. Keep ‘em coming, thank you DoMini.

Great Game

Nicely done! It did make me both chuckle and cringe at the no less than 5 different ways the characters pronounced the name “Tenebris!”

BTW: the hint feature was not necessary in the first place....

Response from developer

Hi, Really? All the names taken?! Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you had a good experience with our game. It means the world to us. Tenebris's name just has variation in pronunciation, but in future games, we'll try to stick to one variant.

Hints unavailable FIXED!!

Great game and developer fixes glitches. But still have to press multiple times for results

Previous review: This, and all Domini Games, are beautiful. But please solve the glitches that appear. I want to give you 5 stars
