Freezing still 2 years on

Now it’s freezing at the clock trying to make 3:45.
I agree expensive game if you can’t play it. Do I get my money back?

Game frozen

I love Elephant games and have just bought this after reading reviews about it freezing but the developers saying it was all fixed. My game is stuck on making the punch card. Nothing works on it and can’t move forward. Please help.

Detectives United 6

I got to the part where you are supposed to pick up the yellow triangle but cannot. I even deleted it and then reloaded it and started it all over again and still cannot pick it up.

Response from developer

Hello! Could you please contact us at support@elephant-games.am if the problem is still relevant to you? We'll make it right!

GLITCH!!!

Game keeps shutting down. I have reloaded 3 or4 times, started over, and game still shuts down. Would like my money back or a replacement game that works!

Glitch!

Puzzle where you match halves kicks you out of the game. Restarting doesn’t save your achievements in the puzzle. Impossible to finish it

Decent

Always enjoy the artwork/gameplay from this company. The storyline was decent, too.

Enjoyable

Had a few glitches but otherwise enjoyed this one. I’m a big fan of the PF series. When can we expect 9? I need to find Rick!

Fixed! [Can’t grab journal in dining room]

So, just as others have reported, the game has a serious glitch that still has not been fixed. There is a dining room scene where there is a journal (book) located behind a wall picture puzzle. The journal is there clear as day, but you can’t take it no matter how you try. Today is Tuesday, June 21, and this problem has existed since I purchase the game roughly 10 days ago. Please fix!

Edit: The above issue has been resolved. Great game. 5 stars.

Hello there! Thank you so much for the review :)

No answer? &

I heard this was the last paranormal files. Great moving on to something different but no answer about Rick? Ever? It’s worth playing out of all the other series.

I agree with “Really?” the hateful negative comments are out of hand in our reviews. Just playing mediator but Lynx I don’t think LL meant you didn’t do enough to get the game fixed. I think they meant they read your initial review that this game was fixed & for them it still had issues. Of course it’s ridiculous to put that on you (not to mention the way it was phrased) but you also mentioned how only your interaction with Elephant was heard. We long time HOPA fans are aware & appreciative of your efforts. I know w/o your & other’s efforts I wouldn’t have been able to play these games after BF. I wouldn’t stress over 1 reviewers comment. All love💕

P.S I do believe all glitches HAVE been resolved as I had none✌🏻

Hello! Thank you so much for your support. We really appreciate it. All bugs in fact were fixed and we hope everyone is now able to finish the game!

Updated Review to 5 Stars

I have edited my original review as the game has since been updated and repaired, my new review is 5 stars as I very much enjoyed the game as I do all of Elephant’s wonderful games. Thank you.

Hello there! Thank you so much for the review. We really appreciate it!

Paranormal files 8

Game froze and the glitch is not fixed by unplugging device. Fix or refund, please.

Why…

so much bullying, meanness, rudeness, and narcissism?

Paranormal 8 secret

I found issues with the game but was notified of an update. The update enabled me to progress much further into the game…stuck again though at the coastal house. I am unable to retrieve the diary and now can go no further. Please help developers. Thanks

Game still freezing

Now it’s freezing when trying to retrieve book from behind the painting. Expensive game for all these issues?

Still not fixed

One has to wonder why the developers refuse to acknowledge there is still a problem with the game, because their “Nope nothing wrong here attitude is clearly at odds with all the customer complaints, specifically that the game will not allow you to take the journal from behind the painting

Response from developer

Hello! Thank you for the review. All issues should be fixed now. Please, update the game and let us know if there's something more that we need to fix. Our first priority is to please our players with the games they can enjoy and finish!

Paranormal Files 8: Price of a Secret by LynxMinx

Note to LL 1926: I have written numerous letters, and done a huge amount for this genre. What exactly have you done? Oh, that’s right, NOTHING! I wrote another letter to Elephant, and the game was removed from the App Store and repaired. They saw all of your complaints but it took my letter to get the game to be playable!
Except for some major touchscreen sensitivity issues, this was intrinsically a good game. It was lengthy, had an interesting storyline (akin to a Hatfield/McCoy feud) and had a wonderful variety of HO scenes. There were some challenging puzzles as well, and some were made more difficult because they were hard to manipulate. The basic gameplay and tasks were typical of Elephant’s ability to make the game addictive.
The saga of trying to find Rick continued, and I won’t give you any more spoilers. But I do miss Rick’s sarcastic wit and amazing sense of humor, so hopefully Rachel will finally find him in the next installment.
If not for an appalling lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, this would have been a 5 star game. Most of you did not give it a chance after Elephant repaired it, nor did you update your reviews. Although frustrating at times this game was able to be played and enjoyed. My rating will remain at 4 stars!

What the heck?!

Still can’t pick up the journal, and the game keeps crashing. What is the problem?!

Paranormal 8

The game has frozen again, this time in the dining room where you try and get the book!! It’s a good game though, shame.xx
Still not working.🥹

Stuck

The game keeps getting stuck and crashing. Your bug fix did not work. I want my money back.

Worst release ever elephant

Think you get past one glitch just to get another.
