## What is MISTICO?

MISTICO - a small mysterious Spanish island hidden somewhere in the Balearics. You have often heard rumours of its existence, however, actually locating MISTICO has proven rather difficult.

After a drunken warm evening in a local bar you overhear some sun weathered locals speaking in Spanish. Picking up some of the words you learnt exploring the local area you decide to eavesdrop in on the conversation.

“¿Estás seguro?”

“¡Sí !, tengo un mapa claro a la isla de mistico.”

Another man suddenly appears at the entrance of the bar and beckons the men to leave everything and come quickly.

I watched the group arguing outside and they hurriedly jump in a sun battered car and leave. I take one last drag from my bottle and decide it was time to head off myself.

On the way out I notice the men had left a torn scrap of paper on the table they were seated at. I looked closer and noticed what was written on the paper. I quickly realised what I was looking at, longitude and latitude coordinates, scribbled in pencil. 

“Surely not” I thought. “The exact location of MISTICO?”

Hiring a local boat, I set off on a journey on the high seas to where the coordinates pinpointed the location of the island. However, the journey didn’t go exactly to plan. Nearing the coordinates I quickly ran into trouble, all I remember was clear blue skies turning black and a strange humming sound. 

Opening my eyes, I looked up and saw strange old house in the middle of nowhere….

“Where am I?”

### 3/5 — No menu or settings or support

*2026-07-26*

I’m on level 1 and the code on the mirror does not open the door. I even resorted to watching a walkthrough and it’s the same as I am doing. What is wrong.

### 3/5 — Quitting is the only problem

*2024-05-26*

This game was actually fun and challenging, but as the other reviews have mentioned, quitting the game cannot be done.  Literally had to unplug my iMac to exit.  Option return does not work, and putting the cursor at the top of the screen doesn't drop down the tool bar like it does in every other game I've played.  Once this issue is solved, I will go back and play it again.  This game will be incredibly fun once this is fixed.

### 1/5 — Mistico: $4.99: Scam or Joke?

*2023-12-10*

If this were a free game, it would be one thing. But it’s not. If the description said there are going to be 5 Parts, this is Part 1, buy the game now (to help fund the development) & as the rest become available, your game will be updated. THAT would be one thing, but it’s not. 

The FULL GAME walkthrough is 12 MINUTES! That’s not a game, that’s a prelude. 12 minutes is an opening. ESPECIALLY with the intentional cheater brand name, the intentional name recognition with gamers designed to deceive you into thinking this game is going to be like “Myst.”

For perspective: when “The Room” came out it was free. A year later, they started charging $1. “The Room 2” $1.99. “The Room 4,” “Forever Lost 1-3,” “House of Da Vinci 1-3,” “The Witness,” are $4.99 games.

I don’t even know who to be mad at. The designer for charging $4.99? Or Apple for allowing it? I’m shocked that there was no one at Apple whose job is to vet games before they go up on the store, that said: charging $5 for THIS would, not only make the game feel incomplete, but it would be a poor reflection on us as a company & would leave our customers feeling ripped off.

### 1/5 — Too Short given the price

*2023-01-28, version 1.2*

Considering you are paying for an App, you would expect it to last a decent amount of time- unfortunately this does not >>> don’t waste your time or money

### 3/5 — Decent little game

*2022-12-30*

Basic in its presentation, but the puzzles are challenging enough without being ridiculously difficult.
Would have preferred the game to be a bit longer and to have a hints section along with a camera facility for recording important findings.
Certainly worth a go as long as you don’t pay too much for it.

**Developer response:** Sad to read you didn’t enjoy my game. I make every effort to create the best experience possible. If you have suggestions you can reach me here: chris@m9games.co.uk

### 5/5 — Fabulous 🤩

*2022-12-05*

Another superb game from this great developer, I constantly check to see if there’s a new game on offer, it frustrates me that ppl moan games are too short when they are so cheap to play, do ppl not realise the time and effort that goes into them? I’m ashamed for them. I think the price point is perfect for the fun on offer and am so grateful for the hardwork that leads to my entertainment. Please keep making theses lovely point and click adventures?

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! It's amazing to hear that you've enjoyed my games and that you appreciate the effort that goes into making them. Although I mainly create 3D adventures these days, maybe in the future I might use all my new experience to create a brand new 2D point and click adventure... stay tuned!

### 1/5 — Not up to par with competitors

*2021-12-06*

I can appreciate the hard work it must take to make a video game, but this effort doesn't really meet the bar of a sellable app.  The puzzles are not intuitive, and can seem arbitrary.  The 'Option-Return' exit of the game did not work for me, and I had to 'force quit' in order to leave the game.  I do applaud your effort as a 'one man show', so to speak... but perhaps this project needs a few more people to measure up to the competition, and function smoothly.  Best of luck to you.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, the work and effort that goes into these game is indeed enormous and more people working on a project would be hugely beneficial, sadly these people will need paying and funds just don't allow that at this time. Thanks again for trying :)

### 2/5 — Inital Review

*2021-11-05*

Fist off, I cannot exit the game.  I'm unable to enter windowed mode and Option-Return doesn't work either.

I'm not ready to give up on the game yet... but need to be able to save and exit the game without resorting to a FORCE QUIT.

**Developer response:** Option-Return should toggle fullscreen mode, I do have a new version of Mistico in the works that fixes this problem with a proper Home button with auto save. Stay tuned!

### 4/5 — Atmosphere yes, story and puzzles leave you wanting

*2021-09-01*

Impressive effort from a solo developer.  I bought the game on sale for 99 cents, don't think it justifies a higher price (in comparison to other titles).

This offers a high level of immersion and foreboding (feels similar to great titles like Meridian 157, Adventure Beyond Time) that isn't quite fully realized with the story progression. 

The puzzles are pretty run-of-the-mill, with an over-reliance on figuring out safe combinations.

Hoping for greater variety and depth in future titles.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the encouraging feedback. To be even be considered in the ballpark of those other great titles is really amazing. Thanks again for trying my game!

### 5/5 — Fun Adventure Game

*2021-08-29*

Good fun and well worth the price!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review of my game! 

In all future games the code boxes have clear lights or screens indicating what's going on so your wish has already been implemented! :)

Thanks again for playing and taking the time to leave a positive review, it means a lot!
