Sackgassen

Keine Empfehlung:
- viele Sackgassen
- RĂ€tsel zT nicht logisch- Raten bzw. GlĂŒck
- zu dunkel , schwer alles zu erkennen selbst in InnenrÀumen
- zu viele Dialoge

HĂ€tte mir eine Warnung vor Sackgassen bzw. Checkpoints gewĂŒnscht.

Decent p&c, infected with wokeness

The scenes , voice acting, and pixel art are quite beautiful. As a point and click it’s just okay, you really don’t use items to solve puzzles, it’s all dialog.

The major problem is the writing is woke, and when we see it in our culture, we need to downvote it.

If “ culture” has any hope of becoming “art” it has to say something true about the human experience
 “woke” is a lie in the service of social engineering. If you’re lying, you can’t say anything true. (This is why there is no longer any good movies / tv shows / games)

Luckily we’re rounding a corner as a society and this nonsense isn’t nearly as prevalent, but we should salt the earth where we see it.

Review

Too much banter

So glad I finally tried it!

I love point & click adventure games and I’d held off on this one because the reviews stated it was very much about going from scene to scene and talking to people/exhausting dialogues to crack cases. Although it was true in the sense you don’t have an inventory and it is mostly talking however it pulls you in quickly & you’re immersed in these cases that you are trying to solve. You have to do things correctly to solve the case as well so there is still some strategy involved. Loved it! Very well done & I thoroughly enjoyed the bonus content at the end too. Hopefully there’s more to come!

Nice game!

Nice game for a few days! there is even variability.
But too much blah-bla-blah! Staying in one place and asking or speaking 4 stars only for it.
Nice design and music. Wish a bit more locations. It’s possible to stuck when you ask or say something wrong. Thank you for game!

Fantastic game.

Tedious & long winded

The atmosphere and setting are great
unfortunately the game consists simply of long winded conversations that have little bearing on the plot.

There really is not any problem solving, just moving from irrelevant conversation to irrelevant conversation. Only about 20% of the dislogue is useful and of that, only about another 20% is interesting.

Unfortunate as I’m a big fan of other games by the makers and folks involved in producing it. Was hoping for a steam punk Gabriel Knight
unfortunately got little more than a meandering script for a bad WB pilot

I genuinely liked it

I definitely got stuck a few times and it was frustrating when I messed up one small thing and couldn’t finish the case her and there but the storyline was genuinely good. I wish this was a show ngl because the characters are well developed imo. If you like crime/detective narratives then I definitely recommend. (Definitely requires a solid amount of observation to get a good ending)

Sehr dunkel. Bei Tageslicht draußen schlecht zu erkennen.

Sehr dunkel. Bei Tageslicht draußen schlecht zu erkennen.
Antiquierte Spielweise und Schrifteinblendung.
Nur englische Sprache.
Statischer Ablauf der Vorgabe Fragen/Texte.

Response from developer

Die Sprache kann man auf Deutsch umschalten. Nur die Sprachausgabe bleibt englisch. Dass manche Szenen dĂŒster sind, ist Absicht. Der Ablauf ist nicht statisch, je nach Antworten Ă€ndert sich der Spielverlauf deutlich. Es gibt verschiedene Enden.

Missed the mark

I appreciate what they are trying to do, but I think this game misses its mark and gets bogged down in tedium. I love old style point and click adventure games, but this one has WAAAAY too much dialogue, and WAAAAY too many pointless hotspots that lead to more pointless dialogue. I also wish there was more of an inventory element. I had to put it down after a little while.

Exhausting, yet boring

I played this for maybe 30 minutes and found all of the social justice stuff to be exhausting. Perhaps that’s appealing to some, but many of us play games to escape reality. This game was just rapid fire, one talking point after another, rinse and repeat. Loved the other games by this developer but the preaching in this one was too painful to continue. Also, more importantly, it was really boring - just a bunch of talking. Deleted already and totally regret paying for it.

Lastly, this one shouldn’t be listed as 12+. Many of the mature themes are wholly inappropriate for tweens/younger teens.

Download nicht möglich

Ich kann das Spiel nicht auf meinem Handy laden
 was ist da los?

Response from developer

Da können wir als Entwickler nicht helfen. Wenn Beenden aller anderen Apps und Neustart des GerĂ€tes nicht helfen, mĂŒssen Sie sich an Apple wenden.

Game breaking scripting error

Keep getting a “scripting error” when I try to proceed in the game during the early stages. Frustrating because I was really enjoying it up until then. Would not recommend purchasing this game until it gets updated.

A bit different from other point & click adventure.

The majority of the player input in this game is in choosing dialog options. You do pick up and use items, but you don’t really have a traditional inventory menu, or choose which items to use and when. For example, you may find a locked door, and later find the key, but to use the key you’ll just click the door again after getting the key. There aren’t many puzzles to solve, so it’s mostly dialog, and finding the clues to lead you to the right suspect. It is possible to accuse the wrong person and have them arrested, but with enough investigation it becomes clear who the right suspect is.
The story was okay, but the gameplay left me feeling more like I had watched it than played it.

Highly recommend

Amazing game. Excellent graphics. Reminiscent of the old Sierra games from the 90s PC. Easy to use UI.

Incredible game

I’ve been playing point and click and adventure games since the 90s and this is easily on my top 3. Great port too, so happy to be able to play it on my iPad. 10/10.

Glitch in game

I loved this game until the last part (5) where it wouldn’t let me access the fire to translate the piece of paper. So frustrating! Tried restarting but still didn’t work.

Tolle story

Mir gefielen die Geschichte und die schön umgesetzte Pixelart echt sehr. Die Charaktere sind liebenswert und ihre Motivation nachvollziehbar. Hat mir definitiv ein paar schnöde Corona-Abende versĂŒĂŸt.

Achtung: Das Spiel ist nur englisch vertont! Ich fĂŒr meinen Teil mag die originale Sprachausgabe meist eh lieber.

So slow..

I love detective games, but this one was just too slow for me. I really tried to like it (since I paid $5 on it)... but the settings and characters are so plain and boring.

Eins der besten Adventures. Richtig gut!
