Save?
How can you save I have to keep restarting from the beginning?
Great game!!!
I had been playing this Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders game and enjoyed it! The puzzles are challenging and I wanted to give you a high five for this game. Great job! I am having issues with the item in the inventory. I am in a stage where the detective meets General Zhang at the East Pier to ask questions. The key item “disappeared” from the inventory and I cannot find it after several attempts to search and swipe the inventory around. This key is for the makeup box in a room with a fan and surrounding candles. Do you have a workaround to resolve this issue? Thanks Update: the issue is resolved. Great game! I give 5-stars for it! 👍

Must play for point and click lovers
An absolute delight
Truly beautiful pixel art
The attention to detail and beauty of the pixel art is really visually striking. I was captivated by it the entire time. Definitely worth the $. It was a decent length and the writing was really good too! So happy to have found this game!!
Can’t Load a Game. No way to Save
Love this game and the story, but I’ve started twice now. Both times when I come back, I can’t load my previous game or resume. Please fix so I can finish. I’m on an iPad.
(UPDATED) Wonderful Game. Game-stopping Glitch.
UPDATED 12/12/2021: I’ve changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars. The developers were wonderful with following up with my issue, offering me a solution that let me resume the game from where I originally left off. The glitch no longer occurred, and I (finally!) finished the game. Definitely enjoyed this game. I would love if there was a whole series of games following Detective Di’s most impactful cases. Very, very much recommend this!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: First, let me say that this is a wonderful game. I’ve been playing it for the last few days and have thoroughly enjoyed opening it in my free time. So you can understand my frustration over how a glitch in the inventory mechanic has literally halted my gameplay. And I am using “literally” to mean just that. The glitch is that, one item that I used earlier in the game mysteriously remained in my inventory. The slot that item takes up is just enough for me to be unable to use another item I pick up later in the gameplay, because now it’s “off screen.” I can’t scroll over. The inventory doesn’t have multiple rows. I’ve tried every type of swiping action, searched everywhere on Google—no help. What’s worse, my other saved games only go back to a certain point, so I will have to start the game over from scratch. Not an end-of-the world situation, obviously, but just a real bummer that took me out of the “magic” of playing through the first time. Again, no setbacks about the game itself—I definitely recommend playing it and will probably retry it from the start in a month or two. I just hope this glitch gets resolved somehow.

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. As for the bug you're describing, we are in the process of investigating it.

Brilliant
Very good game with a solid story and nice graphics. I did not enjoy some of the logical puzzles though, most felt a bit forced. But all in all, it's a game worth buying and playing.
Great story, enjoyable game
Very enjoyable P&C adventure game that got me engaged, with not-too-difficult puzzles, all with a compelling story with real historical figures. It’s very refreshing to play a game in context of ancient China, it inspired me to read up on the actual people and what happened in history. I love the pixel art style, and the writing is good. Sometimes the puzzles feel set apart from the storyline, but that’s like most adventure games. I’d definitely play a sequel if there is one!

UNABLE TO SAVE OR LOAD
Every time, I close the game I have to start over from the beginning. There is no option to save the game. It’s also impossible to load the game since the button does not work in the menu.
Game keeps Shutting Down
Disappointing as I was enjoying it. Third time it shut down. How do I get a refund?
Can’t Save or Load a game in progress
I’d like to give this 5 stars. I completed the first case, and some sort of dream sequence, but then I had to put it away for the night. It makes it appear as though you can pick up from where you left off, but you can’t. “Resume” and “Load Game” do not take you back to where you were. It just hangs forever until you give up. You have to start back at the beginning. I wasted well over an hour playing this. The story and gameplay were pretty good, but I don’t have the time to play the whole thing from beginning to end in one sitting (even if I knew how long that would be). Edit: There is contact info on the developers website, I’ve sent an inquiry about this. I hope they’ll fix this, but if not, I’d like my money back.

More credit deserved
While not the hardest puzzles for a P & C adventure, the storyline is great. Lots of mood and atmosphere. Surprised this game isn’t more popular! Voice acting would have pushed it over the top for sure, but still 5 stars for me.
Love the game
I am very much enjoying this game very much. Wish there were more games like this in the App Store
Amazing!
Amazing music and graphics, really immersive story with a beautiful cultural background, impressive!
Problem with the load game button
I’ve played through the 1st murder and the dream sequence. Started the next bit but when I’ve come back to it the load game button isn’t working. So disappointed as I don’t want to have to restart from the beginning and I’ve loved the game so far. Please sort this glitch out game developer.
Edit: I figured out that you have to actually save the game which isn’t obvious as most iPhone games auto save.

Very enjoyable game -relaxing to play
I previously posted a low rating thinking that the game had a bug. Mea culpa - I just didn’t understand what to do. So I am now revising my review . It is enjoyable -and aesthetically very nice.
Very good
Interesting story and characters. Dialogue is well done and I did not encounter any game play bugs. Some people may find the retro graphics too simplistic, but my only complaint is that I really needed a hint in a couple places.
Really great!
Such a good classic point n click adventure! The story got me hooked. I looked forward to coming back to the game so I could find out what was going to happen... everything is high quality!
Truly unique
Wow! I just finished this game, and I’m impressed. It’s your classic point and click game, but the story is a one of a kind murder mystery. I love that it’s set in ancient China, such a unique backdrop that sets it apart from all the rest.
