Glitches

I have played this game a few times since purchasing in 2019. Sadly went to play it again and have had nothing but trouble. I am using iPad Pro iOS 26.5 and every time I have gone to use the guide it shuts down. I note that there was an update recently, this could of course had a bad effect on using latest iOS. The mini games are a bit slow to work but at least they do so.
All in all it’s not working as it used to work.

The least favorite in the series

I guess I left this game in the series to last for an reason. That reason being I was disappointed that the Detective was male. I like this series for the female detective. Also I was grossly disappointed that the bonus game had nothing to do with the main story and was all about Christmas and Dickens just because that was loosely London related.
UPDATE POST DEVELOPER RESPONSE:
I see from your response that you have no reading comprehension. I explained I had played all other games in this series and had left this one for last as it was the least appealing. I was correct that it did not live up to all the others THAT I HAD ALREADY PLAYED.

Stop highjacking my podcast

Usually I can play a podcast at the same time I play a game. This game complete highjacks all the sound.

Awesome

One of the best games I’ve played in a long time. It kept my interest. It’s not short so I didn’t feel cheated.

Fun!

This game had just the right mixture between games and hidden objects. The music was actually nice and the voice actors were far better than many games I’ve played in the past. I will definitely be trying another “Dark City” game!

You have to pay to play

It gives you just enough free play to get sucked in and then it costs to play. With so many free games, why would I pay to play this game? Immediately uninstalled

Great game

I’m new to this series, and love it. Between the puzzles, graphics and story line, it’s one of the best, in my opinion. One question, is there a certain order I need to play this series or are they independent of each other.
Thanks for the great game. I’m playing the London game now.

The one that started it all

The first game I brought and played while bored in lockdown. I have replayed multiple times and enjoyed myself every time. I have brought every Game in the Dark City series and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work. I will definitely buy the next instalment.

Fun game but too easy

I like the game. Aesthetically very pleasing and great story. But there are too few puzzles ab the ones they had are super easy.

Good

Hey this start out with witchcraft but it lightens up. Nice long game. It’s a large map, and things can get confusing and it gets a bit slow at times. I like the drawing, the story, and most of the puzzles. Very good!

Dark city London.

Great game. It was very challenging. I’m what you call a novice player. I
Like to enjoy the game. I always buy a game with a guide. So when I get stuck. I can reference it. This the second game l have played. I can honestly say I use it very little. Make think about before using. Thanks for making a great game.

It's great to hear that you are enjoying the game! We have tried to create an entertaining and addictive gameplay 🥰

Two of the same games.

Why are there two of the same games just with different pictures? Feeling ripped off as I paid for it.

Response from developer

Hello. Which games are you referring to? We have 2 variants of games: "premium" versions of the game, where you pay once and all hints and skips will be absolutely free; "free to play" - gameplay is free, but you can purchase additional hints if needed. This game is also available in F2P format. Each user can choose an option to their liking🙂 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-london-f2p/id1552387021

Not worth it

Boring and horrible ending

Excellent game!!!

This was a joy to play. The playtime was sufficient as was that of the bonus game. I experienced no problems throughout. Very well designed and programmed. EXCEPTIONAL!
