I ended up skipping too many mini games because I couldn't get the point or strategy. There were some objects that I found, but couldn't select because the "hot area" was too small. I liked HOPs, and there were too few for me. I did like the absence of gory violence and the colorful scenery, as well as the Mexican culture depicted. ### 3/5 — Not brilliant *2018-06-09, version 1.0.0* Like others I found the puzzles left a lot to be desired. Instructions were for some but not others, certainly found I had to skip some. Have played better games. ### 3/5 — 🤔 *2018-06-06, version 1.0.0* The graphics were stunning but I don’t know if it’s just me but I had to skip a lot of the puzzles because the instructions weren’t clear enough and didn’t make sense. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2018-06-05, version 1.0.0* There is a lot good to say about this game including graphics, story; but so many of the games were glitchy, opaque, and had confusing instructions which didn’t really say how to do it; I ended up skipping about half of them, and it put me in quite a mood! ### 3/5 — Deathly boring *2018-06-02, version 1.0.0* Didn’t bother to finish the game. Very boring. ### 3/5 — Frustrating puzzles *2018-05-30, version 1.0.0* Beautiful graphics and interesting storyline. The instructions for the puzzles were puzzling. Maybe translation is the problem. I could not figure out how to play a lot of the puzzles so just skipped and that’s not fun. I usually have no problem with the puzzles of most other games, not even needing instruction most of the time. This game’s puzzles were just not clearly explained. I agree that using a cape with alcohol to take off solid wax when you had a cigarette lighter in your inventory was maddening. ### 3/5 — Unusual Theme, Needs a Faster Refresh Rate *2018-05-17, version 1.0.0* Mediocre game - not linear, too many puzzles, not enough HOPs. The HOPs are mostly pieces parts, not entire objects. Needs a faster refresh rate. In my opinion, the story does not interest me that much. Positive - bright graphics. Extra menu let’s you locate missing souvenirs and objects. Probably is worth $3.99. ### 2/5 — Not very good *2018-05-16, version 1.0.0* The clues were clue-less - like using alcohol and a tiny cape to get wax off of a skull. Hard to navigate - can’t really look around. HOPs were ok - nice alternative. Puzzles very standard - some with confusing directions ### 3/5 — Quite short *2018-05-16, version 1.0.0* It was fun, but seemed short. Map is okay, but doesn’t show areas where there is still a collectible. ### 3/5 — Myths of the World: Behind the Veil by LynxMinx *2018-05-15, version 1.0.0* The game had a refreshing and more unusual storyline but I couldn’t follow all the nuances. If EIPIX gave us a cohesive journal and not just updated objectives I might have understood what I needed to do in each place. The graphics were beautiful but not as clear and crisp as could be. There was a teleport map to transport you instantaneously between locations (and unlike the previous game, this one worked). At each location you collect a scorpion symbol. Inventory was labeled and there were complex items to assemble. The gimmick was the magic blade, and I hated the mini-game associated with it! The HO scenes were your typical assortment, with skipping stones as the alternative puzzle. I really didn’t like the assortment of puzzles/games. There were many rotational sorts and others of dexterity, and due to some touch screen sensitivity issues I couldn’t manipulate some of them. Because of this issue, also present when obtaining or applying inventory issues, I found myself second-guessing my skills and instincts and using hints when I didn’t really need them. In addition this was an extremely short game! My true review will stand at 3.5 stars. I deducted stars for length, touch screen sensitivity issues, and the assortment of puzzles/games. I sure hope Domini is up next; at least their gameplay is usually extremely smooth! Happy gaming everyone! ### 2/5 — Unusual *2018-05-15, version 1.0.0* This game is unusual amongst Big Fish products in as much as it is soooo boring. I have felt more gripped by a tight pair of trousers than this I have by this game. The puzzles are tiresome & it is unclear what you are meant to do most of the time. My advice, play another game or do some hoovering, either option is more exciting than this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Behind the veil *2020-07-24, version 1.0.0* Very boring ### 1/5 — Not fun *2018-05-27, version 1.0.0* I had to skip about 3/4 of the puzzles because they were either too hard to understand or I would complete them but they wouldn’t close. Had to skip skip skip. Very annoying and wish I could get a refund ### 1/5 — Crappy game *2018-05-20, version 1.0.0* This was what I call a ‘filler’ game. It’s what you feed us whilst we wait for a good one. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2018-05-14, version 1.0.0* Installed, deleted and reinstalled on iPad Pro. Won’t start after Big Fish logo screen. Waiting for update. ### 2/5 — Blah to worse *2020-01-10, version 1.0.0* Update: I just played this game again, a year and a half later. I thought maybe I was being too hard on the game, maybe I had just played something really outstanding before it, and by comparison it was not good. Nope! It’s even worse than I previously said! Many objects look like they are going to be something interactive, but no it’s just a decoration. It could’ve been magical, which is so frustrating! It’s like the art department created all this magical scenery, expecting the programming team to use it, but they did not. And the story is quite disjointed, two lovers who died are reunited once a year in a legend, turns out one is still alive? Makes no sense. Really silly mini games mostly, except the ribbon game and one or two logic games. Downgraded from 3 to 2 stars. I won’t give 1 star unless it’s unplayable. It’s playable, but I don’t think you’ll want to! This game could’ve been great. The imagery was beautiful and bright. But there were only like two things to do in each scene. And it was short, it just kind of ended in the middle of the story. They really just phoned this one in, and while Eipix is not known for creativity or innovation, this one was poorly done by even their standards. ### 2/5 — Didn’t buy as scenes too small *2019-10-30, version 1.0.0* Not much going on in this game so deleted it. ### 2/5 — What a waste. *2018-06-24, version 1.0.0* Such beautiful scenes wasted on a game that has terrible and lacking instruction and direction. There are multiple times you need to just tap the screen anywhere from 3-8 times to move the game forward, but it doesn’t tell you that anywhere. Mini game instructions (if available) seem to give you step 1 in a five step process but never show you steps 2 through 5. It was like the makers created 60% of the game and just quit. ### 2/5 — Big Nanna. 65. *2018-06-15, version 1.0.0* Not to good. Sorry for dark review but I don't think it is up to big fish standards. ### 2/5 — Ok *2018-05-26, version 1.0.0* Positives: the artwork was beautiful, it had an original setting, I like the morphing objects and collectibles. Negatives: I skipped several of the mini games because the directions were incomprehensible or the games themselves were just random guessing, no strategy involved, or they were just dumb. Also, not enough HOPs. I stuck with it because it was pretty to look at and a departure from the typical ghoulish, macabre stories Big Fish churns out. Also I got it on sale—DO NOT pay full price for this. ### 2/5 — 🤯💀💔Dia de Los Muertos: Kill Me Now!💔💀🤯 *2018-05-19, version 1.0.0* The beautiful graphics and interesting storyline were ruined by the puzzles for me. Odd puzzle directions left me constantly checking the SG, not only for directions but to see how much longer I had to endure the game. Could’ve been the whole enchilada but....sigh.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stunning graphics *2019-09-05, version 1.0.0* The most breathtaking graphics I’ve ever seen in a game. Not your everyday storyline either. Loved it. ### 5/5 — What fun! *2018-11-12, version 1.0.0* This is an interesting, unique game with a timely Día de los Muertos theme. The story is great and the puzzles challenging. The characters’ accents could use some work, but that’s the only (admittedly nit-picky) negative feature of this great game. It was part of the Halloween sale, but it’s worth $6.99 or more. Well done, Big Fish! I’d love to have more like this one. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2018-05-23, version 1.0.0* Love the graphics, easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Very Good Game! *2018-05-15, version 1.0.0* This is a beautifully done game with a unique and interesting storyline. The graphics are crystal clear with vibrant colors. Fun hidden object scenes which are interactive, puzzles were simplistic, however still required some thought. Collectibles in each scene, morphing objects as well to collect. Transporting map and Great characters and voiceovers. Absolutely Loved it! Storyline was not only educating but interesting. Highly recommend buying this one. Very smooth & quick transitions. Overall, a whole Lot of Fun!!! Play & Enjoy 😊 Thanks to the developers & Big Fish! KdBoots ( Very Happy 😃 Gamer) Looking Forward to our next release, as I had a hard time putting this one down. 5 stars for me! 🌟 ### 4/5 — Hard to find *2023-02-20, version 1.0.0* The articals are hard to find there’s no direction of what you are looking for ### 4/5 — Length is reason it’s losing a star *2019-10-11, version 1.0.0* Otherwise, super solid game & while the theme has been done before, it’s a relatively unique spin & was perfect considering the time of year! ### 4/5 — Nosotros Celebramos "Día De Los Muertos"! *2018-05-14, version 1.0.0* (We Celebrate the "Day Of The Dead"!) Who would resist the opportunity to visit Mexico — a country that's known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches; its diverse landscapes of mountains, deserts, and jungles; its ancient ruins; and, of course, Mexican food and tequila — during a time of extraordinary celebrations of culture and life. It's the "Day of the Dead" — a special holiday in which dead ancestors are the guests of honor, as the people celebrate the memories of deceased relatives. So, pack your bags — and don't forget your sombreros — because we are off to "The Land of the Dead" to participate in the festivities. As far as the storyline goes, it started off well, delivering an exciting introduction to the "Day-of-the-Dead" theme, thus maintaining my keen interest in how the plot would unfold. But, by the middle of the game, the intriguing subject became thrown on the back burner. The plot lost focus on the celebratory concept and took a left turn towards the typical "chasing-after-a-supernatural-entity" idea plaguing many HOAs. The artwork is stunning, capturing the true essences of Mexico's rich history and heritage. The environmental details are fashioned to showcase the jovial spirit of this holiday: festive face paints, in the form of skeletal make-up; floral hair pieces, Catrinas, decorated with marigold flowers; and colored flags, strewn across the buildings. Some particular traditions and customs authentically illustrate the "Day-of-the-Dead" theme — endless seas of candle-lit altars, set around the graves of loved ones; offerings to the dead, such as their favorite foods (e.g., sugar skulls); and fancy ornate-embroidered dresses, worn by las mujeras (the women). The omnipresent skeletons are portrayed in a myriad of bright and colorful patterns, and they provide a playful, mischievous vibe with their lampooning gestures and garb. I love the skeletal trio of musicians. The theme of the storyline blends into the artistic designs of the HOSs. They are diverse in format, although they do not present any original elements. The puzzles are thematically rendered to suit the storyline. They are creatively executed, as well as sometimes challenging. There are a few collectibles, including discovering morphing objects within the HOSs. Most HOAs take us to Europe, where the societies and settings are often indistinctly depicted. However, this time I enjoyed traveling to a less-visited country, one that is admired for close family bonds, a strong foundation for unity, and a unique flair for honoring their ancestors. This game is a pleasant surprise; however, I did deduct a star for the digression of the storyline. ### 3/5 — Under the veil *2023-08-22, version 1.0.0* Love this game and the series but on my ipad 2 games freeze right in the middle or beginning of game. I restart. Erase, delete and reinstall and still will freeze. My sister has the same ipad and it works fine. Downloaded from same app. Can’t seem to get it to work unless I down load it on my old tiny ipad. ### 3/5 — Myths of the World: Behind the Veil. *2021-06-18, version 1.0.0* The first realm was very active and more thought put into it. The last 3 realms were barely enough to even realize you played one. Appears the game was rushed to try to make money before truly completing the original idea of the game. ### 3/5 — Puzzles are so confusing *2020-06-13, version 1.0.0* Beautiful graphics, wonderful music. Cool theme...Dia de los Muertos. But those puzzles...so confusing and could not understand instructions. Had to skip most, which is a total waste. Very glitchy also. Don’t recommend, unless you enjoy frustration. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
