### 4/5 — Paranormal Files: Fatal Flaw by LynxMinx

*2025-08-11, version 1.0.0*

Go on yet another mysterious paranormal (and archaeological) adventure with Rick Rogers. This time you must investigate the case of a professor who is being haunted by the ghost of another former professor, Lilian, who harbors  an unhealthy obsession to him. The tale was both eerie and tragic. I enjoyed the Aztec culture interwoven through the game. Finding the collectible puzzle pieces, or eyes, was very difficult due to the graphics. The HO scenes and mini-games were both enjoyable and challenging, with a very interesting variety of both. Of course, gameplay was exciting, fast-paced and addictive because the developer thrives on providing a thrilling (as well as chilling) adventure. The downside was that everything (from the inventory tools to the  HO word lists) was so tiny it detracted from what should have been an incredible game. Also I noticed a marked lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. Still and all, I really love this series and despite the aforementioned issues, I really was enchanted by this adventure. Elephant needs to give us clearer graphics, zoom during the HO scenes (all of the other developers give us a zoom feature!) and a more sensitive gameplay interface. They need to listen up and take my advice! They will do so if they want to see an increase in revenues. Remember, nobody is more influential than I am, and you’d best not forget it!
My actual rating is 4 stars, and if not for the tiny print and inventory, as well as the touch, it would have been a 5 star game.

### 5/5 — Advice！

*2025-05-30, version 1.0.0*

Many people in China enjoy playing this game, and it is strongly recommended to add Chinese to the language selection!

### 2/5 — Really??

*2025-04-20, version 1.0.0*

So this interesting and enjoyable title has come to this? I was replaying Enjoy The Shopping today and realized the last game worthy of Rick Rogers and the Paranormal Files gang was 10. This one and 11 are really a sad slow slide past mediocrity into total non value. Did you have a contract with two games left and so 11 and 12 were thrown together and pitched out the window of a moving car? Sure feels like it. I could list all the things that are wrong, but you know already. I’ll just warn fans of this title to steer clear altogether or prepare to be disappointed.

### 1/5 — Downhill

*2025-04-17, version 1.0.0*

I have played most of your games and have enjoyed a lot of the series. Your games are no longer the types of games I expect from you. Lack of interest, boring and definitely will not pay for. I was going to try another new one you released but after reading the reviews there was no strategy guide or bonus chapter. All of you have gone down hill. 5 BN used to release great games not any more.

### 1/5 — Please Let Us Pause

*2025-03-27, version 1.0.0*

I am a busy person, in a family dynamic. Your game starts out with a running clip that I cannot pause if interrupted. I’ve started it twice, and both times had a family interruption. Other games I can pause and pick back up. Forcing me to suffer your ads a start all over again, is getting old, and fast. Thank you

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2025-03-01, version 1.0.0*

I really enjoy this game. One minor nuisance. I used the custom setting and made recharge time 15 seconds. It doesn’t recharge that quickly
