I am stuck at 96.8% progress according to the bar, but my save file says 96.9% After you reach about 50% progress in the game it becomes a nightmare figuring out who to talk to and what order to do the dialogue with people to get progression. I am at a point where ive exhausted all dialogue and investigation options with every character multiple times and I am unable to progress after a certain suspect goes into hiding. I dont think i am able to complete the game now it may be bugged because they tell you what to investigate, but the only 3 or 4 available characters that can talk about that can discuss that topic do not add progression anymore. I am stuck unable to move forward and have 2 more suspects to choose from. ### 4/5 — Awesome classic! *2014-12-01* This is an awesome port and translation of an awesome classic text based adventure game- I loved them as a child and here is one for my ipad! Hurrah!! *However*, there is no walk through or technical support available ANYWHERE other than writing in a form. You have to figure it our yourself, which is great, except for things like, "how do I save my location in the game if I close the app?" This is rather frustrating! So, just know this going in. ### 4/5 — NEED ANOTHER ONE *2013-09-06, version 1.3.0* Just beat it literally a minute ago and I really want another one lol I got a little frustrated at times when I didn't know who to talk too but still good so good ### 5/5 — So fun! *2012-06-19* I love mysteries and questioning suspects! This was very fun and very immersive. Text based so if you don't like reading, this isn't for you. It's long, too! PLEASE translate the others !!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Seems simple but it has amazing depth! *2012-06-08* No matter what happened, I could NOT put this game down! It is deceptively deep, and unbelievably addictive. This is, without exception, the most fun I have ever had with an iPad game. Please translate them all! ### 4/5 — Good game *2011-11-04* Some of the translations were odd, but a good game otherwise. Having owned 'Murder Club' as a kid and having never beat it (lost the disks years ago), I really hope they translate it and the rest of the series to English soon. I would buy them all, if they were in English. ### 5/5 — Noir fun! *2011-09-10* Not spectacular, but many hours of entertainment. ### 1/5 — No why *2011-05-22* I was so excited when I saw this and all the pictures that u show are in English I give this zero stars n will greatly give it a million if u can update n English version Please IM ON MY KNEES BEGGING YOU , IF NOT I REALLY WANT A REFUND PLEASE,! ### 5/5 — Superb *2011-05-12* J.B. Harrold Murder Club was one of my favourite games for the TG-16, so finding this a few months back REALLY thrilled me. And it didn't disappoint. I'm just hoping Althi translates the others to English. As I know Murder Club has an English translation out there , that would be easy enough. Please Althi!!! ### 5/5 — Accomplish *2011-05-05* I bought this game in December and I think it was glitchy. In March I bought it again. This time it was fixed. This game requires A LOT of going around and asking the same question again. This game was HARD! It's impossible to have a walkthrough for. And if you are stuck go back and ask everyone everything. You will get the answer. I recommend this game. It was quite fun but takes a lot of patience. ## Frequently asked questions about Manhattan requiem ### What is Manhattan Requiem about?
