I don’t get what is happening. It doesn’t matter if i’m at home or on the road. Help! ### 2/5 — Freezing up chapter 5 *2024-10-03* By the time I got to chapter 5 it froze up. I paid a fee and hopefully get a refund . It’s a fun game until chapter 5 froze up. ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2024-04-13* Sorry, I wanted to like this game, but the annoyance factor is far outweighing the enjoyment factor. Landscapes are confusing and hard to get oriented to, the navigation is wonky and I keep ending up in places I don’t want to be in. I try to get back to a place to see a clue again but it’s too hard to find my way back. And I’m not enjoying the puzzles - clues are obscure and don’t make a lot of sense. The origami puzzle is mostly unresponsive which is bad for a puzzle that requires trial and error. Overall it’s just way too frustrating. I’m sincerely happy for those who enjoyed this game but I’m not one of them. I regret buying it. Deleting. ### 3/5 — Level 5 Freeze *2023-11-08* At level 5 and it will not do anything. Reloaded twice but still doesn’t move. Please fix. ### 4/5 — Love game, but frozen at level 5 *2023-07-20* I do enjoy this game. Please fix the frozen problem at level 5. I am in iPad Pro with iPadOS 16.5.1(c). Please please, I want to finish this. It’s a great game! ### 5/5 — Games freezes on level 5 as noted in another review. Otherwise a great game *2023-05-31* Games freezes on level 5 as noted in another review. Otherwise a great game ### 2/5 — This game is a lot of fun until it freezes and no customer support *2023-03-11* Really enjoyed this game for the first 4 chapters then the game will not go passed the that. I took all the Apple support steps even before they emailed with the basic instructions. Then I tried to contact the developer for support and it just takes you to a blog post where there is no information on the game and you can’t leave a message. ### 4/5 — I agree with soupcraft *2023-02-05* It does freeze up on level five, I love the game but I had to delete it because of this ### 4/5 — I love the game, but it’s freezing up *2022-10-06* I bought the game, and my screen is freezing on level 5. Is anyone else having this issue? Please help! I would like to finish this great game - the origami puzzles are so original and challenging. ### 2/5 — Want to Love the Game, but... *2022-08-07* Really wanted to love this game as it is similar to the Faraway games by a different developer, and I did like it...until it would not allow me to play Level Five. All other levels worked great, the puzzles were straightforward and easy to solve. (While I like origami after being stationed in Japan for 4 1/2 years, I prefer not to attempt it in a game. Thank you for the skip option!) I don't mind purchasing these games as developers need to make a living, too, but I also want finish the game I bought. All I get with Level Five are three dots, and a partial view of what looks like stairs going down into a lower room. Problem is this is all I get since the game freezes up every time. Not even the back, hint, and menu buttons work. I have to exit the game without closing it. (BTW...My iPad Air Gen 3 is updated with iOS 15.6, and I noticed this game had a recent update two months ago.) As far as troubleshooting: I have soft and hard rebooted my iPad, offloaded the game (keeps the data and personal info) and reloaded it, and completely uninstalled and reinstalled (twice). One time without and one time hard rebooting after the uninstalled. Nothing worked...Level Five is only three dots and a glimpse of stairs without any moving beyond the entry point. Please advise as to a solution or tell Apple to refund my $. As stated, I don't mind paying money...even more than the small fee I did for this game...but I want a game that works! If you give me a workable solution, I plan to update my review and rating. ## Frequently asked questions about Mystic Escape ### What is Mystic Escape: Prisoner Diary about?
