Bug in game, couldn’t finish it

Paid for the upgraded version and there’s a bug towards the end of the game. There’s no book to put photos in, all the “hints” try to get you to add photos to an empty spot. No way around it, had to google the walkthrough to figure out it was a bug and not normal game play. Wanted to report it to the developer but you have to create an account on their website to report a problem. First time trying this developer’s game (last time too)

I’m so very done

Domini used to be the go-to game company for me, but I’m very much over paying 4-5 dollars for each chapter of a game, and in addition to that, being forced to endure a splash timer ad while playing said game. I’ll stick with the companies that still sell you the whole game, maybe a little more expensively, and I’ll stop being ripped off by a company that clearly doesn’t really care what we think.

Response to developer: I’m not ignorant of behind-the-scenes expenses. I didn’t expect the price to be the same forever. As I’ve said repeatedly - the countdown clock is intrusive and absolutely unnecessary, as the games it advertises aren’t even new. Plus selling the complete game would cost us more, but I’d much rather do that, and I’d like to see a return of the Collector’s Editions with collectibles/morphing objects. Your product used to be stellar, but no more.

Hello! We understand your frustration about the cost of the hidden object game. However, game development is a lengthy and expensive process, and the price is often reflective of the resources and time invested. Thank you for the review!

Gloomy Tales, Episode 3: Lost Souls Escape by LynxMinx

Once again, if not for horrendously bad touchscreen sensitivity, this brief little episode would have been enjoyable to play. For the cost of these episodes, gameplay should be flawless. Plus we should not have been subjected to that annoying sales timer clock!
Fix the QA already, before you lose even more players. It’s a good thing there was a match-3 alternative because it was nearly impossible to obtain inventory or items in the HO scenes. I’m being generous with this rating only because it had some enjoyable puzzles and was more creative than some of the other episodic series. These 3 episodes should have been combined to form one Halloween game. But this way Domini earns more money.
Do you not realize, Domini, that the lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface is causing the gamers to tap ultra hard, causing them pain in their wrists and fingers? Fix it already, or you’ll lose devoted players, who are tired of these issues game after game.
