Good game, can’t restore prior purchase

As noted, game is good. But prior purchase of this game won’t unlock. Message says I purchased it and do I want it free? I click OK then nothing happens. Can’t buy it again either.

Loved the plot but not the gameplay

Plot was great. I felt the gameplay was all over the place and I didn’t know where I had to go next or what I had to do and had to walk around everywhere to find out where I needed to be as I didn’t have a map to help me nor a objective

Top dollar for an old style game

There’s no map or other mini games; this is only a HO game. It definitely isn’t worth $6.99!

waste of time to go back and forth…

CLASSIC Horror game FUN

I was stoked to see this game on iPad! I have it on Android and my Laptop as well. Not only is the story incredibly fun in a brilliant thinking mans version of a b-horror plot, it is beautifully rendered like Nightmare Cinema and is very long! This is back when games were almost like novels and you could relax and play for an hour every night ( no hints! ) and do it for a week. Plus it has a bonus game. This series is how I feel in love with Hidden Object Games and I wish I could speak to the artists who designed the original Fear for Sale games. They are FANTASTIC. If you like a good story, fun puzzles and a big helping of creepy paranormal mystery happening, do your self a favor and get this game. I am honestly perplexed by the couple bad reviews. I feel like they didn’t even play the same game. Maybe they stopped at the beginning?

Good story so far...BUTTTT

Really enjoying the story.....BUT....I have to tap on things multiple times to “find” them. A mop handle is NOT called a mop attachment. There’s no map. I’m wasting time trying to sift through scenes to find my way back to a place. I’m using hint too much to figure out what location to go to next.

Haven’t gotten far into this yet. You guys always ask for reviews before we even know if we’ll like it. So far I’m discouraged because there SO much time going from one scene to another.
Never stopping..back and forth, back and forth. Also, the hidden objects are so tiny. I’m usually good finding them, but these are very difficult because they’re barely there for the eye to see.

Interesting story & good challenges

Am in my 70’s and play games to keep my brain in good health. Challenges are not so hard that you have to be a Mensa member to solve them. I like that. Thank you - will look for more games from your company.

Today’s deal 65% off

Yet there are games 55% off for the same price of $2.99...please stop lying to your gamers... just write deal....

Relaxing game

This game has very slow responses, but this is okay after a long stressful day. Where is the map? Remembering each location is mildly annoying; however, the story is entertaining. An update would be extremely beneficial.

I'm exhausted!

I am not even going to finish this before writing my review, because I am not enjoying it at all.

This game absolutely SCREAMS in agony for a jump map!!! There is no map at all and scene transitions are slow. There was one place where it was necessary to crawl through 10 scenes to get from where you were to where you needed to go next. Some scenes are nearly useless, with nothing in them but a transition to the next one. Without the map, you have little choice but to use the hint to guide you to where you need to be next, and on two occasion (so far) the hint sends you to a spot where there is nothing left to do! The graphics are only fair, and much of the animation (especially people) is amateurish.

I can only say that I am glad I got it on sale, because it certainly isn't worth full price, by a long sot! What a letdown from other games in this series.

Seems dated

This game seems like it was out many years ago. The artwork is fair. The hints are okay. No map. Lots of illogical moves. Lots of back and forth without direction. Puzzles that are tedious rather than challenging. Tapping on items often doesn't work, and when I ask for help, it shows me the item I just tapped on. Pretty boring. I'll pass.

Tries again. Thought they might have improved it. Not so.

Slow, unimaginative

This game seemed promising, interesting premise, but transitions are slow, relies almost entirely on HOGs, lots of scenes but often only one thing to find there, no map to speed moving around. In general probably an old game that Big Fish released as new. Not particularly fun.

So Much Fun

This game is creepy. And I love creepy. I loved the story, the puzzles, the hints, the music, and the animation. Very well done!

Not very good

Painful to play.

Not bad

It was a good way to pass time but I did expect better :(

Needs serious improvement

It takes several seconds to go to another scene. If you must go back several scenes, you wait about 10 seconds each page. With no interactive map it takes days to get thru.

Interesting story and challenging

A good story line and interesting puzzles make this a game worth every penny of its price. Of the many story games, it was easily in the top 10 percent.

Sunnyvale

Very enjoyable game! Extremely addictive and entertaining and brain teaser for reasonable deduction solutions. Excellent!

I love it. The story,the hidden scenes, every thing!
