So I exited out. When I got back. It was telling me to unlock again. I can’t play the bonus content. Like bonus chapter. Which I payed for. I did finish the main game and liked the plot. But I would like a refund or for the app to be unlocked. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Can’t play bonus *2022-06-25, version 1.0.9* Booo! Can not access bonus. Boooooo! ### 3/5 — Like Mamtrev and ll1926 can’t access bonus game *2021-09-18, version 1.0.6* Strategy guide is wrong on library catalog drawers! And the last card game locked up on me too, but got out. You make good games and can only guess you are shorthanded. Very frustrating for us both! ### 3/5 — Still no update *2021-07-15, version 1.0.6* Looking at reviews from a year ago and the problem with accessing the extra content still isn’t fixed. I just had the same issue. Please don’t tell me to contact support. I already did. ### 3/5 — Bonus not working *2021-05-11, version 1.0.6* I loved this game but as previous reviews the bonus game does not work. I paid £6.99 for this and after completing the main game the extras button does not work so I am unable to access the bonus chapter. I did see that on the reviews the developer said they had fixed minor bugs so was hoping this would have been done by now but seems not. I would have given this game 5 stars if it wasn’t for that as it was really enjoyable. ### 3/5 — No bonus chapter *2021-03-28, version 1.0.5* I paid for the game and when I went to play the bonus chapter it just kept going back to the main game. Not very happy with this at all. ### 4/5 — Already paid *2020-12-12, version 1.0.5* Love the game except when I close the game even though I paid for the game it tells me to pay again ### 4/5 — Bonus game not loading *2020-07-11, version 1.0.3* I am finishing the main game but yet can’t access the bonus game. Not good when you have to pay £6.99. I have purchased a lot of your games and this has been a disappointment ### 3/5 — Bonus game still won’t play. *2020-05-03, version 1.0.3* This game was ok. Story is unremarkable. It passes the time. The bonus game doesn’t work. ### 3/5 — Frustrating! *2020-03-02, version 1.0.3* This game was fine until I got to a game that locked up every time I tried to play it. Had to exit and go back in, still didn’t work. Finally skipped it. (It was the first card game) Also couldn’t play the bonus game. You said it was fixed, which is why I bought it. Very disappointed! ### 4/5 — Glitch *2020-02-25, version 1.0.3* Several glitches for me.... card game froze and had to restart the game 3 times before just skipping it... now I cannot access the bonus chapter? It tells me to complete the game which I’ve done 3 times? Help! Update: I got a response today.... 4 months later....really!?!? Come on y’all are better than this and FYI the response didn’t even answer the problem ### 4/5 — Fun game, but if you have trouble with the Bonus... *2019-12-18, version 1.0.2* I did enjoy this game, but had trouble getting the bonus game to work upon successfully finishing the main game. I seemed to have been caught in some sort of programming loop - I’d finish the game, try to initiate the bonus only to get a message to finish the main game. Rinse, repeat, again and again. Having been a developer and a DBA in a past life, I wondered what the difference might be between myself and others who had been able to complete the game. I usually play in Custom mode. Once I switched to Casual, I was able to access Bonus. This is the second game where Custom mode appears to cause a glitch. If you are having difficulties, try switching to a different difficulty level. ### 4/5 — Pretty good game *2019-12-05, version 1.0.2* Great storyline and graphics. But game was glitchy in bits. To access the bonus game, you have to let the credits run from the main game otherwise it will keep taking you back a step. But definitely four stars from me. ### 4/5 — Great game- but problems with bonus *2019-11-27, version 1.0.2* Love your games. But a couple problems with this one. Every time I come back on I have to select unlock over and over again. I’ve never had to do this with these type of games before. And the bonus chapter is not saving properly and is making me repeat things, etc. Can this be fixed please? ### 3/5 — Mystery Tales: Dealer’s Choices by LynxMinx *2019-11-27, version 1.0.2* Although the game was good, the mechanics of the game were awful. Domini is aware of the quality assurance issues that continue to plague their games, but are doing a corporate restructuring in hopes of improving these technical problems before the new year starts. Even after two updates this game was difficult to play. There were touchscreen sensitivity issues, some of the mini-games were impossible to manipulate, and my game froze on the card game and I couldn’t progress because I couldn’t skip it. However I restarted the game and then just skipped the game, because I was afraid the same thing would happen. It’s a pity because the setting and the puzzles were centered around a casino, and that made the trite storyline (evil entity stealing souls) seem interesting and fresh. The graphics were decent and colorful, and there was no one pervasive color imbuing the screen in every scene. The basic gameplay was entertaining, and the inventory usage unique, but the constant hard tapping to acquire inventory items ruined this game for me. In addition, I felt that the game was a bit brief. Then I reached the bonus chapter and it was a glitchy mess. If you exit, you start over but with inventory you already acquired. I had to try three times to complete the game. My true rating will be dropped to 2.5 stars. UPDATE: Living Legends: Uninvited Guests is available on the App Store, for $4.99. Yes, it WAS distributed by BigFish, but as a favor to the developer, 4Friends. (The CEO of 4Friends told me!)I know there are rumors that BigFish is making a comeback, but at this point in time, that’s all they are! If anyone has any relevant information to tell me, email me @icloud.com! This is important because I am working on something major to get you guys more games in this genre. So I need to know if you have any useful information. In addition, Valentin from Domini said there should be a new Domini release in the next few days! I don’t even know the name of the game yet! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t Play Bonus Game 😡😡😡 *2021-09-04, version 1.0.6* Come on Domini Games you can do better than this. It’s been a year and you still haven’t fixed the problems with this game. As other players have said you cant play the bonus chapter. And the mini games are glitchy as well. 😤😡😡😡😤 ### 1/5 — requries PERMANENT connection to internet *2021-08-30, version 1.0.6* To be purchased, this game requires the internet connection during start, you cannot enable internet later after skipping intro to purchase it. All this is neccessary to infect your iPad with full screen ads, there is also the tiny button "Play"at the top right. Worse of it. Even if you unlock the game it CONTINUES to demand the internet connection, otherwise it becomes LOCKED again! this is ridiculous. All this has been done to ransack your ipad for private info to bypass it to facebook - there is facebook SDK in the game that constantly makes queries to star.c10r facebook domain. Disgusting! ### 1/5 — Still mad *2020-09-25, version 1.0.5* I usually love the Mystery Tale series except this one. I’ve had nothing but issues with this game. I contacted support and told them the issues. At first I wasn’t able to access the bonus game, it kept telling me to finish the main game. I can finally access the bonus game but it just restarts the main game. 🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Gamer 151 *2020-03-10, version 1.0.3* Game doesn’t work properly on nearly every mini game. Feels like I payed for a scam more than a game. 😡 ### 1/5 — Glitch *2019-11-13, version 1.0* I just finished the main game and selected the bonus game and the main game started again. I have tried clicking bonus game several times and it keeps taking me to the beginning of the main game. I still have all of the drinks, cards, etc but it doesn’t give me the bonus game. Can you fix this? ### 2/5 — Glitch at End *2021-09-04, version 1.0.6* Loved the game, but you seem to be having problems lately with many of your games. Got to the end, finished the game, and I could not get into the extra contents to play the bonus game. I don’t want to delete and then have to play all over again because it sounds like it would only happen again. Everyone who cannot finish the game should be reimbursed. ### 2/5 — Fun but very glitchy *2021-03-22, version 1.0.5* So, this is the 5th game I have purchased and played by Domini games and this one by far was the worst of the bunch. First, while the graphics were beautiful, the story line wasn’t as thought out as the others but it still managed to hold my attention. I also missed the little search and find mini games as there was only maybe three in the whole game. The music as well was lacking and not up to Domini’s usual level. It’s almost like this game was an afterthought and just thrown together without much thought to detail. Second, the glitches in this game far exceed any game I have played in the last few years. The game would freeze, crash, and not allow me to perform certain tasks without closing out the game and reopening it. This was the worst in the casino. The phone wouldn’t activate to talk to the casino owners spirit even thought the hint kept pointing me to it. It took me several attempts to get past this. Third, it kept making me reactivate my purchase every time I logged back into the game. Then, I seemed to be stuck inside some ground hog day type vortex where it kept making me replay the card game at the end over and over. Only after I watched the all the credits until the end did it finish the game and allow me to have access to the bonus level. I was playing in advanced mode but casual didn’t work either when I changed the settings. Sadly though, after finally being able to access the bonus chapter it just restarted the game over from the beginning. So, I was never able to access the bonus chapter. I noticed another reviewer had this issue a year ago and it’s painfully obvious the problem was never addressed. ### 2/5 — Not able to finish *2020-12-06, version 1.0.5* I purchased the game, and at the card game, I couldn’t even skip the game it just locked. It was a waste of money. I’m growing more and more frustrated with your games. Just a few weeks ago I had a similar issue with another game, requested help and never received a response. I won’t be making any more purchases, there are other developers who answer support questions. ### 2/5 — Bonus game *2020-04-06, version 1.0.3* Well you said you would fix the problem in November It is now April and it is still not fixed! Don't know if I want to keep buying your games because they all Seem to be full of problems . Very sad. The BONUS GAME does not work you mentioned in November to all the people that complained about the bonus not working that you fixed it way back in November. Will it ever work?? ### 3/5 — Fairly good game *2024-02-07, version 1.0.9* Main game was fairly good but did crash out occasionally. I can’t access bonus game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-01-25, version 1.0.9* Hello the game is very good. However I can’t even access the extra menu. What’s up with that? ### 5/5 — So far so good. *2021-09-16, version 1.0.6* Just started. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2020-07-16, version 1.0.3* thoroughly enjoyable! but until i reached the card game and it locked up 3 times and restarted the game from menu page. So had to just skip the card game all together...Also when i go to play the game i have to prove i have purchased the game each time i enter it.... ### 5/5 — Dealer is Entertainment...warning U won’t be able to play Bonus *2019-12-06, version 1.0.2* I loved this game I bought...and DL update....glitches not rectified. I deleted game and replayed, Im still unable to play Bonus. PS what’s with every time I take a break...I have to say already purchased? ### 5/5 — Dealers Choice *2019-11-28, version 1.0.2* As usual beautiful colors and scenery. Much to do with puzzles, collectibles, and hidden object games. Long game with no technical problems as I started game late week. Thank you and keep them coming please. ### 5/5 — Big fish *2019-11-25, version 1.0.2* I love it ### 5/5 — Great *2019-11-15, version 1.0.1* No glitches. Enjoyed it thoroughly. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-11-14, version 1.0* There are no words to describe this game. It is truly amazing. I love this series and all the games by Domini. You guys are the best. Thank you for creating another awesome game for us I Pad users. ### 5/5 — Awesome game!!!! *2019-11-13, version 1.0* So glad to see this new game. It’s awesome, I highly recommend this game. I hope you will be putting out more games quickly. Can’t wait to see what’s next.👍🧩❤️ ### 4/5 — Glitchy but fun *2021-05-01, version 1.0.6* I enjoyed this game but there were some glitches as well. Being a gambling story I was surprised there were only two card games and one kept crashing so I had to skip it. The other one kept going and wouldn’t stop. The game glitched at the end and I had to replay the final card game twice and go through the ending twice before I could get to the bonus game. Also, whenever I left the game it made me o through the buying process- every time. Pesky. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
