Scam

Paid for the week subscription. They had a countdown for another release, once the timer went down to zero they didn’t open any cases and timer went back to 7 days

It was great to was not

Like wanna was answering the question it said I have to pay or $40 or four dollars so I don’t know I’m not paying that and I will pay if I get one dollar but that’s too expensive so whatever I’m not paying you I’m just gonna to the game because I’m not wasting my money in a game. I’m probably gonna play gonna play like twice in my whole life, so no thanks. I was really interested in the game, but since I told me to pay, my dad told me to he said I’m not wasting my money and something you’re not gonna use a lot I can get you a better game that you don’t have that you only use and Wally by using it so I don’t care what you guys say. I’m not joining. I’m not getting back to this game. I loved it was really cool but sorry it was. It’s too freaking expensive.

Hi, thanks for explaining how you felt. We’re glad you enjoyed the investigation, and we’re sorry the Premium offer arrived as an unpleasant surprise. The App Store shows the exact subscription options and local price before confirmation, but we understand that the value needs to be clearer before the free section ends. We’re working on adding more cases and improving how Premium is introduced. Thanks for trying Detectea.

No new game after a week?

You have to pay weekly after 2 episodes and unlock an episode every Thursday night. However, I didn’t even have one to play show up after a week! $5 for a week of not getting to do anything. Plus waiting a week to play one episode and it just kills interest. I liked the 2 episodes that I was able to complete. I cancelled my subscription.

Hi Ar os, you’re right to be disappointed. We communicated that a new case would be available on Thursday, and that expectation wasn’t met. We’re sorry you paid for a week without receiving the content you expected. We’re reviewing both our release schedule and how it is communicated so this doesn’t happen again. Thank you for enjoying the first two cases and for calling this out clearly.

fun while it lasted

pretty fun while it lasted I was very intrigued until it stopped my case for a cash grab subscription.

Hi Bellania, we’re glad the investigation had you intrigued, and we’re sorry the paywall brought that experience to such an abrupt stop. We understand how frustrating it is to become invested in a case and then discover that continuing requires a subscription. We’re reviewing where the free experience ends and how Premium is explained so players can make that choice before getting invested. Thank you for the honest feedback.

Can’t even finish the first story

I’m literally not paying to finish one story that’s dumb. This game sucks.

Hi, we understand why being asked to subscribe before reaching the end of the first story felt frustrating. The point where the free section ends should be clear before players invest their time in the case, and we’re sorry it felt like an unpleasant surprise. We’re reviewing this part of the experience and appreciate you being direct with us.

fun to play bad levels

got to play one level and payed because i thought there was more and then it stayed locked even after completion of previous level

Response from developer

Hi Lydia, we’re really sorry. Paying and then finding the next content still locked is not the intended experience. Your purchase should unlock the Premium content immediately. Please contact us through “Send Feedback” in the app or our support page so we can investigate and restore your access. We take purchase issues very seriously and want to make this right.

Hi, we understand why being stopped before finishing the story felt frustrating. Our Premium subscription supports the creation of new cases, but we should do a much better job of explaining where the free experience ends before players reach that point. We’re taking your feedback into account as we improve the story and paywall flow. Thank you for trying Detectea and letting us know how it felt.

Pay to unlock

It was confusing at first but it’s nice and fun until you have to pay to unlock chapters.

Hi Leah, thank you for giving Detectea a chance. We’re glad you started enjoying the investigation once the controls became clearer, and we’re sorry the paywall interrupted that experience. We’re working on making both the beginning of the game and the Premium offer easier to understand. Your feedback about both parts is genuinely useful to us.
