Brilliant!

Don’t know why these games aren’t promoted more in the App Store. Great storyline, funny, good level of difficulty. Everything a point & cluck should be. Only complaint is there aren’t more of them.

MysteryCaper

One of my favorite developers, I’m always looking to see what you all come out with next and this didn’t disappoint! Thanks for making great games.

Way too short

I have purchased every Mystery Caper game available and while nearly each previous game was worth the cost, this one sadly is not. It’s conversation heavy without enough action/object interaction and is entirely too short for the price. I hope the next installment aims much higher.

So so good. It makes complete sense that they’re mystery writers.

This has quickly become my new favorite point and click studio, and I’ll buy whatever they release.

I love this game for the same reasons I loved Yestertide. The puzzles, writing, and atmosphere.

The puzzles are challenging and organic to the story. This seems like it would be really difficult to pull off but they did it again. The only gripe was that I thought this was much easier than Yestertide and I was finished much faster.

The writing is clever and funny, I again found myself trying every combination of actions not because I didn’t know what to do but because I wanted to see the text.

Atmosphere was engaging and transporting. The lighting, the music stings, the characters, all great.

Slight spoiler:
I accidentally solved the sundial, but don’t know what the actual solution was.

Not as good as their other games

I found this game a bit frustrating because it seemed the hardest part was finding the items you needed. The puzzles themself weren’t too difficult. I also found that getting the game in instalments meant I lost track of the story, and who was who. I also found the game quite short, and the ending abrupt, and unsatisfying. Still, I do like the quirky nature of the story.
