Good value

I really liked this game. Good puzzles, interesting story and good value for the cost.

Doesn’t work. Too bad

Wish it worked. Pretty graphics

Good game, loose story, and frustrating

I love this series of games, but this one needs a rework. Over and over I find myself trying tap something to claim or move it and it just doesn’t work. I’m almost ready to give up because it is way too frustrating. Keep up the good work, and fix the bad please.

I loved it. I specifically look for Elephant games because I think they are the best.

Impossible

£5.99 for a game that is impossible to play, how do I get my money back

Very glitchy

Great storyline and graphics, but omg, the puzzles are all so non responsive … I’ve never had this kind of problem before. Very frustrating to say the least!

Good Story, AMAZING GAME PLAYING!!!!

I’ve been playing these types of games for twelve years. I enjoy them very much. I rarely using skips or hints. I get bored easy when the game is more simply laid out, i.e. using all items found in 2 to 3 rooms before advancing forward in the game. This game catered to my experience and therefore what I enjoy most. Rooms were not complete, they were used through out the game. Items found were used throughout the game in an unpredictable way. The longer puzzles were my favorite, as they were solvable with some thought but not impossible. Needless to say, I was very pleasantly surprised with this game this morning. Bravo and thank you!!!!

Brilliant game

Fun to play and great puzzles

Frustrating to play

Scenes too dark. Repeatedly clicking on items needed doesn’t pick them up. The sketch pencil doesn’t seem to be working, and I have had to skip every single painting that required you to complete the sketch so far. Also had to skip several games where I couldn’t progress due to not being able to pick things up. So glad I bought this on sale. Since I’m not that far in I may try reinstalling and restarting. I like the dual worlds aspect, but the game play has been extremely aggravating.

Wonky as all get out

The game is dark in both tone and concept. Most items blend into the background so you can't see them even if you find one by accident. The mini games seem ambitious but they don't work correctly. Had to skip a couple because the parts did not slide into the screen so I could even interact with them, even with resets. The motivation of the evil antagonist is entirely opaque, and his actions include attempted child murder for no apparent reason. Giving three stars for the attempt to do something different --for instance extra wide screen sliding scenes-- but it didn't quite come together. ALSO the hint button has a compass on it so it looks like the map button, and it's on the left, where the map/menu buttons are normally (why?) So I keep getting a hint when I actually want the map or menu. Again, why.

A bit repetitive

It was mild fun. Too many cut scenes, I want to play a game and not practically watch a short movie. And for crying out loud, how many missing door handles and keys can you stuff into one game?

Grimm Tales

Have always enjoyed these games,can't wait for the next one.I don't buy many games now as too expensive and a lot of them have glitches.It was good too play a game that was a bit different to other H.O games.I bought this game 4 years ago just tried to download it again and they are saying no purchase found,really not very happy about that as I shouldn’t have to pay again.

Not ready for mobile

Tried to play this game on my iPad. Many scenes are so dark, I couldn’t make out the objects. Too often I would have to select an object multiple times before it would move. Don’t waste your money if you’re playing on a tablet.

Not as good as it looks

Many mini games are unplayable and have to be skipped; eg join the dots which would be simple if it worked.
The English is very poor so you have to use a lot of guesswork to interpret the instructions in many of the mini games. To top it off I couldn’t finish the bonus chapter because I needed a fourth mosaic piece and although I could find it, it wasn’t possible to pick it up.

Problems

I like the game but even though other reviews have mentioned the problem with the puppet show and other glitches, like having difficulty picking up items or the monsters, nothing has been done to fix these problems.
I probably would have given the game five stars ⭐️ otherwise. I wasn’t even sure I should give it 3 stars.

Frustrating...UGH!!

I bought this game for 2.99 when BF had their sale recently, to be specific Jan 4th 2020. Aside from being able to pay trial version I’m unable to play full version, even though I bought this game.

Such a rip off!! I contacted their customer support & provided them proof of purchase, then they send me info on downloading on Mac, even though I specifically said I’m using iPad Pro.

Needless to say I haven’t heard anything back & I’m beyond frustrated, if you guys aren’t going to fix my issue then at least give me my money back or give me another game. It’s not like you haven’t already freaking charge my card. Absolutely ridiculous😡😤

Color of Fright

Good game, great price on sale. Had some trouble using the pencil in the artwork segments, but everything else worked fine.

Good game

Love Elephant games but really disappointed. Been playing their games for years and was really excited when this one I missed came on sale 2.99. As much as I have assisted boosting their sales by 5 stars on every game this one really disappointed me. I downloaded another game to see if the same issue was occurring, nope.... I’m ashamed to say there is major issues with his app. I have clicked and clicked on multiple areas to include hint areas and found no matter how many times I clicked in that area I could not interact with the game. Really frustrating! I have since deleted the game without completion. Never have I gave this bad of a review but horrible interaction.

Fail

Seemed promising at first with some unique features, but that wasn’t enough. I had to exit the game multiple times because it froze or I kept tapping on items and couldn’t select them. Good thing I didn’t buy the full version. So frustrating.

Not bad, somewhat enjoyable game

Just not much of a plot, but I played it through to the end. Made little sense. Kept me occupied for a few hours. That’s about it.
