There are absolutely no hints to help you move forward. How frustrating! ### 1/5 — :-( *2018-10-01* Bin ich froh, dass ich dafür kein Geld ausgegeben habe. Das Spiel ist im Grunde wohl ein anscheinend sehr einfach zu lösendes Room Escape Game. Das kann man aber nicht wirklich beurteilen, weil es bereits nach ein paar Minuten durchgespielt ist. Dann erscheint ein Hinweis darauf, dass man Kapitel 2 frei schalten soll, als IAP, also wieder bezahlen im Normalfall. Nur, "das Beste" ist, dass das Spiel so, wie es im Moment ist, gar nicht lösbar ist. Achtung, dazu muss ich etwas spoilern: Neben dem Safe hängt das Bild mit dem "I". Mir war direkt klar, dass die einzige Möglichkeit ist, im Buch "I" nachzuschlagen. Dort steht aber nur "Illusions are not what they seem". Sehr irritiert habe ich in einem Walkthrough nachgesehen und mein Gefühl wurde bestätigt, die Lösungszahl steht im Buch "I". Tja, aber nicht in diesem Spiel. ### 3/5 — Bug: can’t exit inventory *2023-01-02, version 1.4.0* It doesn’t appear to be possible to leave the inventory screen. You have to quit the app and restart it. Frustrating. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2023-10-14, version 1.4.1* Good logic and balance of difficulties. Love it. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-07-20, version 1.4.1* There was a steep learning curve at the beginning but once a got the hang of how it worked, I really enjoyed it. ### 5/5 — A Delightful First Chapter (of Hopefully More?) *2023-07-07* Fox Detective is a fun combination of mostly puzzle game with comics. The interface is simple and easy to use, and the puzzles range from fairly easy to challenging. Two requests and one bug report (maybe?) to the developers: Request 1. When an inventory item is used and no longer needed, please remove it from the inventory, even if it does not physically stay in the place where it got used, like the gears do, so the player's inventory is not full of superfluous items. Request 2. When an inventory item needs to be referenced for a puzzle, please let it stay on the screen somehow; the chess board required going back and forth between inventory and puzzle quite a bit before I managed to sufficiently get the pattern. Maybe bug report: I absolutely did not see any hint of a seven in the painting that was supposed to suggest a seven. I had to get that from a walkthrough video, and the video showed me no hint of a seven, either. Either I am really missing something in that painting, or that design is a bug. I make these comments out of affection; I really enjoyed the game and hope to see more like this, and hope, too, for the game (and subsequent chapters) to be the best it can be. ### 5/5 — Yes, it is solvable! *2023-06-30, version 1.4.1* But while it is quite short, it is not at all easy. If you want an interesting challenge, try this one. However, if you are easily frustrated you will probably find this rough going. There are walkthroughs available if you search 'fox detective walkthrough', but its obviously far more interesting if you do as much as you can by yourself. ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2022-08-17, version 1.4.0* A really great little gem of a game. Interesting and different concept. There were clues to everything so all puzzles were solvable. Thank you! Please continue Fox’s story. I would love to play more. ### 5/5 — Loved it *2022-08-02, version 1.4.0* I love how in this game, not only are we solving a murder, but it also feels like we are solving the mystery of who the Fox Detective is and why he is called that. Wish this game was longer tho, can wait to see what you make in the future! ### 5/5 — Just finished, wish there were more *2022-07-07, version 1.4.0* I didn’t think I’d like this at first because it’s a little bit different from other similar games, but I really ended up enjoying it. I wish there were more games just like it, like the same detective solving more crimes. Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — U MUST GET THIS GAME SO GREAT *2022-04-20* This game is so good. I have finished the whole game great ending by the way. Also how the game walkthrough is great! This artwork is so great love the game!
