Not free
I assumed this game was free as no in app purchase is written and also I saw no -try for free then purchase- in caps therefore assumption of full free game
I was enjoying it though but shame it didn’t let me go further without purchase

Needs something….
I have all the Paranormal Files games — even The Tall Man, which after it got fixed is not a bad game to play. This one just lacks the old Rick Rogers spark — maybe it’s too soon after he was rescued, maybe you just didn’t have a great idea, maybe it’s just a lazy way to make money. But I know from the other 10 games in this title that you can and have done better. This game felt very perfunctory, moving from one idea to the next without a whole lot to make it the as charming, interesting and fun as the other games in this title. Please give the next one more consideration and time so that we can all enjoy what made this title so special to begin with. UPDATE: was hopeful the next game in this title would be better, but no way to sugar coat it, it has no charm, no substance and isn’t anything like 1-10. Maybe you had two games left on the contract and slid through that basement door into we just don’t care anymore land. Either way, you’ve busted a very good title and left us with bits and pieces not worth having.

Too small to play
Have played the whole series and was looking forward to this one but barely got started before I had to give up. The screen is way too small now and no way to make it bigger. Bummer.
Not what we’re used to
Another release and another disappointment. What’s up with the small screen. Same thing with detectives united. I’m not straining my eyes to play a game. I’ve played this whole series and barely got through the last two because you have totally gone off base from what your fans are used to. Guess I’ll keep waiting. Sorry won’t buy a game that didn’t spark my interest or isn’t full screen.

Paranormal Files: Sacrifice to Shadows by Lyxnminx
I always liked this series, but this game fell way short of the mark. Although Rick finally returned, his acerbic wit and sense of humor did not. It seems as though Elephant is a totally different developer than they used to be, and the changes are not for the better. The storyline was banal (stealing souls? Don’t we see that enough from Domini? Elephant used to be quite creative!) The game was a mess. Firstly, the gameplay interface did not fill the entire screen of my tablet. Dialogue ran off the page. The graphics were extremely dark and lacked visual acuity, so it was extremely difficult to acquire collectibles. The strategy guide showed the collectibles out of turn, so it was useless. They should be in order by which scene is unlocked first, then second, and so on and so forth, not jumbled together. Touchscreen sensitivity issues made it impossible to manipulate all of the mini-games, so I had to skip a couple. Then there was the map. Don’t put exclamation points on a location if there’s NO available action! An objective doesn’t count. It makes for too much running around, looking for something to accomplish. In addition, the marks were so tiny you could barely see them anyway on the teleport map. Most of the mini-games were boring and rotational. I am also sick of HO scenes consisting of runes, which were also extremely difficult to see. I never play with hints and this game was so glitchy that I had to use them. Also, in an HO scene, you should be able to enlarge the scene, but Elephant took that feature away from us, making it way harder to search. For what we are paying for a very short game, we should have as many bells and whistles as possible! The only thing that kept this from being a one star game was the interesting use of inventory and generally addictive gameplay. I used to love your games, but this was a mess from a quality assurance standpoint, as well as being very hard on the eyes. So my review will remain at two stars. If you don’t fix your problems, you will continue to lose both players and revenue. I would suggest you take my advice!
