Not f2p

Dev - please stop advertising your games as f2p - each one has some puzzle that is unsolvable. The only way around it is to pay money.

Thank you for sharing your experience! 🧡 All the mini-games in our game are fully playable, as confirmed by many other players. Sometimes the challenge comes from the game mechanics, so we recommend taking another look at the mini-game instructions or using the hints. 🙂

Not the whole game

I downloaded this version that says it’s the whole game unlocked, but it’s not. It’s one small portion then it prompts me to pay to unlock the actual game. :/
The game is fun and unique and I would give it more stars if I could actually finish playing it.

We offer 2 variants of games: premium - you pay once, and all hints and skips will be available in unlimited quantity; F2P gameplay is free, but if necessary you can buy additional hints. Everyone chooses the option for themselves. This game is exactly F2P format and gameplay is fully accessible 😉

Hard puzzles

Like the game, but can’t do puzzle in doctors office - might have to give up 😕

Various games

Love the games but sad you partnered with Fox. So now the games are not free to play. I liked the dark city series till then. My favorite character is the original detective.

Thank you for creating well developed games.

Can’t solve the tile puzzle in the doctor’s office

I’ve made it so close to the end and now I’m stumped and can’t finish the game :( Can’t complete the evolution tile puzzle in the doctor’s office and no online help is available to solve it either. Hate to give up but I might not have a choice.

Impossible at the end

It was fun until you get to evolution mini puzzle at the end. I’m usually good at solving but this one is really difficult and frustrating. In order to skip, you have no choice but to pay for rubies which makes this version NOT f2p. End up deleting this game without finishing - - such a shame!

Hello. You can always use the prompts. We also have this game in another "Premium" version. Where you pay once, and all hints and skips will be absolutely free 🥰 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-munich/id1543174351

Fine. But HATE the gem system

The game is okay, I like the story and the graphics. Puzzles aren’t too tough, so it’s a good relaxing game before bed. BUT I hate that to play the bonus game you have to buy gems or buy the bonus game. I’ve played hundreds of this type of app over the years and never ever have I seen a game where you have to buy the bonus chapter. Just make it part of the initial price. Bummer that I did the whole main game but don’t get to do any of the bonus extras I love because I’m not going to pay $1.99 just for the bonus chapter. Edit after developer response: I want to make sure you know I totally think the game is worth the money! It was just disappointing to finish the main game just to find out the bonus game is a charge. I guess it technically makes sense to pay for bonus features, but it’s not the norm so was an unwelcome surprise. Not a fan of paying for hints either. I never used them, but the amount of gems you have by the end of the game aren’t enough to buy the bonus. I like the game, love the graphics and story, I think they’re better than the other big “hidden object” type developers. Only thing I think could use some adjusting is the gem system. It’s my only turn off to the games. But I’ll keep playing them!!

Amazing game

I love these games so much! The puzzles are sometimes difficult but that makes the game even more interesting.

I wish there were a lot more, I went trough them all 💛

Howlingly good 😉

Another dark city & another great story line 😊…
Graphics, game play & puzzles still impressive and immersive… the mini games are great not too hard so they frustrate & the HOP can be difficult but still fun…

I’m fast becoming a fan of this developer … definitely will be playing more games…

Also really appreciate the F2P games available with option to buy bonus game… during these tough times it’s super considerate for games of such high quality 😍…

Keep up the good work 😉

Love these games!

I’ve purchased two other games by this designer and they were fantastic! This game doesn’t allow you to choose a difficulty level, but seems like it is just as detailed and great as the others. I normally don’t purchase games, but I’ve made an exception for these!

Impossible

Like others have mentioned the evolution slide is impossible. After spending hours of my time trying to figure it out, I’m giving up. It’s a shame as I love your games but this one has beaten me and needing 50 rubies to skip this puzzle is rather excessive 🙁

Great game but couldn’t finish

There’s lots to love about this game. Long game play, great graphics, plenty of variety in the puzzles.
Towards the end, a tile puzzle in the doctors office proved to be the end for me.
After trying off and on for almost a week, I couldn’t solve this one. I was left with the choice of buying my way out with in-app purchase, or jumping ship. Since it was near the end anyway, I gave up and deleted the app.
Btw - none of the online walkthru sites offered a solution for this particular puzzle

Love this Series, Love this Developer!

This is my second Dark City game and fourth F.F.S. game I’ve played. Just wanted to say I’ve played a lot of HOA’s (a lot. Like, a sad amount lol), and haven’t seen such consistent and incredible storylines, art style, and sound as this dev provides. I love these so much! And I so greatly appreciate the f2p option for some of the games, I was worried I would be spammed with a thousand ads, but it doesn’t have any, just need to pay for hints :). These games are definitely worth the $ if you have it.

Thank you!!!

Whiners

I see some of the reviews have complaints about the puzzle in the doctor’s office. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it fair? Also yes. You know what you are supposed to do. Some of us like a challenge, and I’m glad they threw a few harder things in.

Frustrating

Like another reviewer on here I got stuck on the evolution mini game, however, unlike the other reviewer I found it tiresomely frustrating and decided life’s too short, please please please don’t make these mini games so difficult, I’ve decided to delete what was otherwise an excellent game and you’ve forced me to give a low star rating

Stuck

I was loving this game until the picture puzzle in the doctors office. Way too difficult and I’m not paying to buy 50 rubies so that I can skip the puzzle. Also, there is no reset on the puzzle. Probably just going to delete without getting to finish.

We're very sorry. We have this game in another "pay to play" version. Where you pay once, and all hints and skips will be completely free. Maybe that option will work better for you 💗💗💗 Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dark-city-munich/id1543174351

Very Good…Initially

This was a very enjoyable and fairly easy going game. Until you have to solve the Neanderthal picture puzzle in the Dr. Room.
First, they should have shown you what the picture should look like.
Second, to me, even though I went online to get the picture, moving the tiles to achieve the end was impossible. When you get a correct tile in place, it lights up to verify it is in the correct spot. But to get other tiles, you have to move the completed tiles and now THEY are out of place. Stupid. AND they want FIFTY RUBIES to skip it. This forces you to purchase (not me) more rubies. This ruined the game.

Disappointed

I’ve played all of your other Dark City games and have completed them without too much trouble. But this one … I got to the evolution puzzle near the end and am stuck with just 2 pieces out of place. Yes, I know I could buy "50 rubies," or I could buy the game and start over, but with inflation hitting us so hard, I can’t justify spending $ on a game. I really like your games, and the choice at the end of them to decide the fate of the perpetrator. This puzzle us just too hard, as others have told you as well. Not finishing it. ☹️
