Keeps Freezing and Closing

The game is cute but now after spending money, I get to a point where the game continues to freeze up and then close out. I’ve restarted my iPad and shut it off on a few instances but it keeps happening at the same spot: after getting a revolver and I need to complete a game wherein you step around rats - I get 1 or 2 levels in and it stops. Bummer.

Ads ads and more ads.

I always download games and play the first bit before buying them as I don’t always like the subject matter or the style. Now when I try to play before I buy to decide, all I keep getting is never ending ads. Don’t mind if I decide to choose the game with ads but I haven’t, I’m just sampling it. Fed up with the amount of ads so will delete it without buying as can’t play enough to decide.

Hidden object: Crime archives 3

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊 Keep them coming. Absolutely love this game. I had double thoughts about it. But I’m glad I really enjoyed this game and read the reviews. Lengthy game and bonus. Can not wait for the next one soon J.F.

The game froze shortly after purchasing

I dint want to have to start over or delete and re-install.
Very frustrating to spend over $8.00 ( after tax ) for something completely worthless.

Super!

Wonderful game!

Lengthy and not bad

This game was lengthy and had a bonus game (like CE games). Story line was interesting, but touch was terrible. I had to tap multiple times to select items. I also noticed coding in several scenes. In spite of that I will rate a 4.

Great game, but there’s a glitch for me

I am really enjoying this game and purchased it to unlock the full version. But I’ve run into a snag in the library that won’t let me proceed. I hover the decoder page over the code book, to reveal the secret message. But the game won’t acknowledge that I’ve done it. I’ve made sure it’s lined up correctly again and again. Is there something else I’m missing? I’ve checked the walkthrough and as soon as you hover over the right spot, it’s shows your character reading the message and you move on from there. That’s never kicking in when I do it. Its a bit of a pain to start over when I’ve paid for the game. Anyway, thanks for looking into it!

Everything was too small

I could barely make out the puzzles. Games weren’t clear or big enough to really make out on my iPhone 13 screen.

Criminal Archives 3: Murder in the Pages by LynxMinx

In case you are wondering how to classify this format, it is a hybrid. That means that is a cross between the episodic format (chapters, decision points, and two long, distracting and obnoxious sales timer clocks) and a true CE game, with a strategy guide and collectibles added. The game was lengthy, the storyline was interesting (I prefer the crime-based sub-genre to fantasy any day!), and there was a plethora of enjoyable tasks to accomplish. Domini has gotten more creative with inventory usage, as well as HO scenes. I didn’t particularly love the selection of mini-games, as they were repetitive and consisted of too many rotational types. Of course, I prefer labyrinths and mazes and painting and codes and logic puzzles, which luckily were included as well. I guess there has to be a puzzle to suit all gamers. Overall, I really liked this game, as it was closer to a CE, like we used to get and love! However, a couple of things ruined the experience. One was the two sales timer clocks (one was 2 hours and the other an hour) and the other was, as always, the lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. Other than that, it was terrific. My rating will be 4 stars.
Oleg, if you kept the hybrid format instead of singular episodes, the players would be way happier and your revenues would increase. In addition, the sales timer clock is losing, rather than gaining revenue for you. Some players cannot tolerate the distraction and are not purchasing Domini games any longer. I’m trying to help you, so take my advice. (Remember who brought you from the bottom of the barrel to success after BF left you in the lurch.) Lose the clock, keep giving us this format, and heighten the sensitivity. The other developers do not have an issue with lack of sensitivity, and neither should Domini. Pay attention, because when a developer takes my advice rather than ignoring it revenues increase dramatically. Also, I have attained more revenue than any other gamer in the HOAG community, EVER! I play multiple roles, one as an influencer, one as a player liaison, and yet a third as an invaluable aide to the developers. Without me this genre would have ceased to exist.
Note to all players: kindly say a prayer for Drosietwo, my DTE Director of Quality Assurance, who is recovering from major surgery. Lynxie loves and appreciates all of your hard work, for so many years. (14, to be exact!) Yes, gamers, I have been doing this for a very long time now and I really hope you appreciate all of my tireless work.

Game has a glitch.

Can’t continue after the “Find clues in Damian’s book” on the task bar. Even though I solved it, it won’t accept it and is stuck there. Would like a refund as I paid for the full game but can’t complete it!
