Good but short

This is a good game but it’s too short. It’s got all you expect from a P&P game and it’s not too difficult. However, it’s too short a game to rate with any decent review. I’d be glad to play a longer version and then give it a proper rating.

Warrole

I don’t usually bother to write a review but this is too expensive for an incomplete game and some of the puzzles make no sense at all.
The vision is also unclear and I must admit I used a walkthrough for most of it
I would like a refund if possible

Very short

I finished this game in less than 25 minutes.

Skip it

This game took 15 minutes to play. The puzzles were simplistic and not worth the money.

A Simple Mistake

The title says it all… paying for this game was truly “A Simple Mistake”. I never give a game less than 3 stars, no matter how much I may dislike it, and the reason for that is because the developer spent a lot of time to create a game (something that I could never do) and whether I love or hate it, I have to remember that someone made this from nothing and is proud of their work. As for my opinion, it was INCREDIBLY short, but ended up taking 10x longer because I spent the ENTIRE game clicking endlessly all over the dark (and incredibly hard to see) screen trying to figure out what to do next. There are no hints, no prompts, no nothing. Just VERY dark rooms with furniture along with random zoom in objects that have no use in the game. I would not recommend this one.

Response from developer

Thanks for the respectful feedback. I guess my game isn't for everyone, but I try my best to improve and take input from players so thank you for trying!

Where is the menu?

How do you get out of the game? Where is the menu? Where are the settings? I will revise my ratings when I get answers.

Use ALT+Return to toggle full-screen mode.

Too short and some very obscure puzzles

The game is far too short for the price and it could be improved in so many ways. Each area you enter only has one puzzle to solve giving you a key to the next area. A bit repetitive. This breaks the feeling of exploration.

The save system needs to be refined so you don’t have to repeat your steps if you don’t complete that particular area.

Telephone puzzle is just ridiculous and I would be surprised if anyone solved that without a walk-through.

Then a totally abrupt ending.

The games by this developer have the potential to be so so good as the graphics are there and so is the atmosphere, but the actual content of puzzles and storyline are lacking.

Too short

This game took me 20 min to play. Its too easy and short. I do not reccomend it

Another great

Love these games…love this developer 😻😻😻😻😻

Hmmmmm

Took way less than an hour to complete. Loved most of the graphics, but some scenes are so dark it’s hard to find objects.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, sadly as a solo developer the length of the game is probably shorter than games from large development studios but I will try harder! Thanks for trying.

Oooh … good ending

Loved it! I see someone complained that it’s too short. It’s really not for the price and the experience. I think it’s fair. Really good with nice puzzles. Totally worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the supportive review! It's difficult to convey that I'm just a solo developer working on these game alone so competing with large game studios is tough, but I will always try to give as much game content as I can. Thank you again for playing!

Very Short

Not sure if it would be worth the money. It took me all of 20 minutes to figure out. And it seems to be just a part of a larger plot-no satisfaction at the end

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Depending on a persons puzzle solving ability will dictate the length of the game I guess. For a seasoned player the game could feel quite short but the time and effort I put into the game I think the price is fair. Thanks again for trying.

Not worth paying for

I've played sample games that lasted longer. Really annoyed I paid for a game that I completed in 20 mins

Has potential but...

Very short for a paid game. I get that we all have bills to pay but I've had much better value for the same price from other developers. I might have given an extra star if the puzzles were more satisfying (the last one was particularly disappointing) and if the gameplay felt more interactive (everything is very static, the buttons don't move when you press them). That said, I think this developer has the potential to grow into something much better.

No key

Reasonable game but however many times I tried the key would not appear from the keypad in the dining room, I even copied frame by frame from a cheat/help source and nothing,

Short but good

Great game!

Postscript to my previous review

I have to agree with Mr 1. After playing it, in an hour, i think it’s too easy, too short, and not worth 2.99. Too bad.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. Getting the right balance for the length of a game is something I am still working on as some people finish really quickly and some complain that they never finish the game. I will endeavour to get that balance perfect in the future, thank you again for trying one of my games!

Not any good

This is a 10-minute game with easy puzzles fir $2.99. I’m not a fast solver either. Skip it.

Response from developer

Hi there, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy my game. There is definitely more than 10 minutes gameplay. Maybe you followed a walkthrough? If you didn't then you are a wasted talent playing games :)

Enjoyable and challenging ...

... but no hints. My beleaguered brain has got as far as it can without outside help. Will have to wait until a walkthrough is available to get me moving again.
