### 4/5 — Halloween Stories: The Death Card by LynxMinx

*2026-05-09*

This game was a bit longer than some of the others, which means you get more bang for your buck. However, I found the storyline confusing and disjointed. Inventory was quite conventional, but overall I enjoyed the general gameplay. There was a decent mix of HO scenes, puzzles and mini-games.
But I have a bone to pick with Elephant. Your target demographic population is women over the age of 55, who don’t have the best eyesight. The text in your lists is so small that you have to strain your eyes to see it, and that takes away from the pleasure of playing it. In addition, Elephant gives you no zoom function during the HO scenes, making it much harder to find the objects. 
Other than that, it was a good solid game, and my final rating will be 4 stars. I removed one star for the aforementioned reasons.

### 4/5 — Halloween cards:9:The death card

*2025-11-26*

Good game . To short for 6.99 but I enjoyed it. 2025

**Developer response:** Hi Pessce! Thank you for playing our Halloween chapter - we’re glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you in our other Halloween Stories titles.

### 5/5 — Great graphics and interesting storyline

*2025-11-13*

I thoroughly enjoyed this game!

**Developer response:** Hi Polandexpat! We’re thrilled you liked the story - your support means a lot to the team 🎃 If you’re in the mood for another mystery, our new detective game Lady Mabel Mysteries just released - we think you might love it.

### 1/5 — Why isn’t it full screen?

*2025-11-05, version 1.0*

Don’t waste your money. It’s not full screen and has large borders top and bottom. Everything is o hard to see. Such a shame I love their games normally

### 4/5 — Fun game, but…

*2025-10-31, version 1.0*

It would be better if the game filled the whole screen.  The print is very small.   Details get lost.

### 5/5 — 👌👍😊

*2025-10-27, version 1.0*

Thank you for the Halloween game , was great 😘

### 1/5 — Halloween stories

*2025-10-25, version 1.0*

Took me 2 mins, once i see the bars, spoiled my mood, small screen, couldn’t  believe it, I have poor eye sight, full screen great for me, which is pity because halloween games my favorite ..... Disappointed

### 4/5 — Another failure

*2025-10-23*

I just downloaded this game and yet another one with a half screen.  The last four games released are not even worth trying to play.  Not even worth one star.  Listen to your audience and release games we can play.

**Developer response:** Hi coaster five! Thank you for sharing this. If the problem remains, send us your device model at support@elephant-games.am - we’ll check it directly. If the update solves it, we’d truly appreciate a higher rating.
