It is clunky, difficult to navigate, the collectibles are nearly invisible and the story is lame! Don’t waste your money! **Developer response:** Hello Beth! We are so sorry you didn't like the game. We will note your feedback for our future games. Thank you for helping us improve! ### 3/5 — Needs updating - UPDATE *2023-11-05, version 1.0.3* This game looks like it could be good, but there are still a few glitches. Scenes taking a little too long to move from one to another. Mini puzzles not fully responding after several taps or sliding. Items in the inventory do not have any names against them. Have no idea what they are or where they should go. Not going to pay for game until I can see it responds better than it is. Am playing on iPad with latest iOS 17. UPDATE - although the game had an update it still has glitches. Opening screen from the Play button takes a long time to actually get to play. Some screens moving on are quick but others are not. It was good to see that the itinerary has information for the items. Twice after playing the mini puzzles the screen took a long time to acknowledge the puzzle had finished and stuck there for a while. Thought at one time the game had frozen and I set to tapping around the screen to get it to move on. The game itself isn’t bad but those glitches could well put people off from paying. ### 2/5 — Halloween Stories 7: Written in Blood by LynxMinx *2023-10-25* I decided to purchase the game after all, in order to impart the truth to all my loyal gamers. This game was a huge disappointment! It was extremely glitchy. First of all, when I tried to open it, I got a black screen. I had to close and reopen it every time I was playing and this became annoying. Load time between locations was a bit lengthy. The touchscreen sensitivity was terrible. I had to apply inventory items several times to get them to “take.” Those inventory items were NOT LABELED! Considering how much we pay for these games, this situation is UNACCEPTABLE and had better not be repeated. In the HO scenes, the screen could not be enlarged. Elephant, your target demographic of players is women over the age of 50, and not everyone has perfect eyesight. You need to stop creating these games cheaply or you will continue to lose gamers and revenue. The basic gameplay was enjoyable when the game functioned at all correctly. The collectibles were miserable to find. Most of the mini-games and puzzles had no innovation whatsoever, and many were of the boring rotational type. I was happy to encounter one where you must paint. My true rating will be 2.5 stars. You don’t deserve more than that. Gamers, this game was frustrating more often than it was fun. Why spend money on a game that has these issues? The developer needs to enhance touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, and ALWAYS LABEL INVENTORY! That was extraordinarily obnoxious. Note to Elephant: I told you that if you didn’t label inventory, I would ensure a loss of revenue. I always follow through! Not acceptable in the least! The gamers always agree with me. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the honest review! We've just released an update with the fix of the main issues. We hope you enjoy the game and consider giving us more stars! ### 4/5 — More obvious please *2023-10-24* I played the game and didn't experience much issues at all but the collectibles and puzzle pieces are too blurry to be noticed so please do something to make them stand out a bit more so we don't miss out on getting the full collection during the game experience ... as for the inventory I dunno what or whyz people are complaining aboutz but for me it worked just fine so congrats on fixing whatever their issues were ... will change to 5 stars once the update fixes the blurry issue ^^ **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the review! We are really glad you enjoyed the game. We will note your feedback on collectibles and puzzle pieces and see what we can do, thank you! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-10-24* This is very slow to load and the game where you swipe 3 or more of the same image didn’t work at all. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to this. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the review and sorry for the inconvenience. Please, try to update the game and see if the issue still remains. Contact us at support@elephant-games.am if it does. We'll look into it! ### 1/5 — Elephant is dead *2023-10-23* I couldn’t even finish the free trial. The graphics looked like something from 2011. The music was the same. No labeled inventory. No atmosphere. What happened? Is Elephant trying to focus on steam games or something? These aren’t steam game types of games. Hidden object adventure are for very casual gamers to get a little fix of atmosphere during a lunch break or something like that. We are aware they’re all similar and not very challenging. We like them mostly for their atmosphere- which is now gone. And SHAME on elephant for teasing us with the promise of a big Halloween game. Gross. Oh- and speaking of gross: what’s with the loser hipster character and his man bun? This isn’t 2015. Try to keep up at least. Ugh. Long story short - elephant is a shadow of what they were. I won’t even be searching them up in the App Store any longer. Oh, but please fix the old, good games that I BOUGHT OUTRIGHT to keep forever that I can no longer play because they don’t function on new phones. Asswipes. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your honest review! We are really sorry you didn't like the game. We understand your point and will work on improving our games! ### 1/5 — Here we go again *2023-10-22* I was looking forward to playing this game for weeks but was very disappointed with nothing labeled and lag time between the screens and very hard to see items. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the honest review! We've released an update with the fix of this issue. We hope you enjoy the game and consider giving us more stars! ### 3/5 — Update *2023-10-22* I decided to give this game a try since it had a Halloween theme. The unlabeled inventory was annoying but not insurmountable. Far more troubling is the terrible lag time, however I did enjoy the game otherwise, and to be fair I will give it a 3 rating. If not for the above issues this would have gotten a better rating. ———————————————- Again, no labels on inventory and the lag time between scenes is awful. I think this developer must have two teams producing their games, and this one is terrible. The game that Elephant released about a week ago was great and got a 5 star rating from me. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the honest review! We are glad you liked the game sepite current issues. We've released an update with the fix of inventory issue and some optimization. We hope you'll come back and have a better experience with the game! :) ### 1/5 — Game has blacked out *2023-10-22, version 1.0.1* I will delete and re-download but it’s got lots of glitches. At one point it threw me from the first scene into one that comes much later on. I had to start it again. And now it just won’t load. Totally black screen nothing happening. I am sure elephant will fix this. I will update when that happens. ### 1/5 — Horrible on many levels *2023-10-22* Lag time, inventory not labeled, items so tiny you can’t tell what it is. I wouldn’t buy it even if it was on sale. Boo! **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for the honest review! We've released an update with the fix of these issues. We hope you enjoy the game and consider giving us more stars! ## Frequently asked questions about Halloween Stories ### What is the gameplay like in Halloween Stories: Find & Seek?
