  • fun but glitchy

    for one, I couldn't exit the game unless i forced my mac to shut down. Also some of the puzzle answers didn't work, had to input numerous times or shut down, start again, only then did the answer work. The safe dial didn't spin all the way around, almost gave up, had to "spin" the pointer around 10-15 times for it to get to the higher numbers. but overall, i liked the story, the puzzles were medium difficulty, a fun way to spend 20-30 min.

    Really glad you enjoyed the adventure! To jump out of full screen you can either press "Option + Return" or move your mouse to the top of the screen and press the green button to enter windowed mode. Thanks again for playing!
  • Good but short

    Nice little game but way too short, I’ve farted longer than this game goes on for.

    A slight overshare of your bowel movements, but thank's for playing my game!
  • Avoids the hidden object annoyance

    Good puzzles, no stupid hidden object based puzzles which is great. Dev creates puzzles which are at different levels of challenge - but all with logical answers

    Really glad you enjoyed the adventure! Thanks for playing!
  • Nice Game

    Enjoyed playing very much! It was a relaxing way to spend an hour playing an escape game frustration-free

    Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the adventure :)
  • Very short for a paid game

    I do feel like I just paid for the privilege of beta testing this game because it’s incredibly short and seems a little underdeveloped. I’ve played free games that were twice the length. However, MUCH credit for enjoyable puzzles (as opposed to hidden object rubbish). I like these sorts of games and wish to support the development of many more. Hopefully ones with more than an hour’s gameplay :)

    Thanks for the review. I do try to pack in as much as I can but with graphics, sound, puzzle design, programming etc the task for a solo developer along with putting food on the table is a huge one. I do really enjoy it though so I will continue to develop greater games as I go along. Thanks again for playing!
  • Pretty good

    Just came back to this after completing Camp Enigma 2 and enjoyed it.

    Not very long but quite good all round, would love to see more puzzles included and a bit longer but I think this is a single person developer so pretty impressive really.

    Look forward to more in the future

    Thanks for coming back and giving MISTICO another try! Hopefully going forward all my games will be much longer, as I develop more of what you are looking for in a good adventure! Take care :)
  • Not too bad, but a bit short

    The game shows promise, but could be longer. It took less than half an hour to complete the game, and I’m glad that I got it on sale.

    As for the puzzles, it would be nice to see more inventory based puzzles and fewer puzzles where codes need to be figured out in order to proceed. Also, some areas on the screen can easily be missed, particularly one area near the end where you need to tap on the far left side of the screen.

    These are just suggestions, and I hope that the developer will consider them in future games.

    Hi there, thanks for playing my game. The length of the game is based on the average player time, some people spend days pondering the puzzles, other try to race through in record time. So getting the balance right can be difficult. Also considering the development time for a solo developer, I don't want to be spending years adding more and more content with zero income, I have to make a judgement call on when a game is ready for launch. Thanks for playing and I will definitely take your suggestions of more inventory based puzzles into consideration in the future! Many thanks.

    Thanks for the amazing feedback! Really glad you are enjoying the adventure :)
  • Early days

    I have just started playing this game and it is appealing from the point of view of relevant hints and Paths to follow. It seems to be oversimplified, but that isn’t always a bad thing.
    It seems basic though and I am hoping this improves with greater challenges. I will review when I have played the game fully.

    Thanks for the feedback so far, please bear in mind I am just one developer working on the game so may not be as expansive as you hope, but none the less a descent logic puzzle adventure, that should be challenging. Thanks again!
  • Not much of a story

    For those who like escape room-style games, this is not a bad way to spend an hour. Like most games in the genre, the puzzles are not related to the story. In fact, there isn’t really a story at all! Controls are fine, except it would be nice to have a way to highlight the hotspots. And the visuals are impressive, especially for a solo developer. I hope the developer will make more games with a more suspenseful story—this is a promising start, but there’s plenty of room for improvement.

    Thank you for the feedback and playing my game! It's interesting you mention you'd like more story, I'll have to consider this in the future, although it is a monumental effort to just create the puzzles and environments, but I will try my best. Thank you also for the idea of 'hotspots' I'll take a took at what could be achieved. Thanks again!
