I would like to play it again and hope you can resolve this. ### 1/5 — Paranormal Files Silent Willow *2023-10-07, version 1.0.1* I was enjoying the game as long as it lasted. I paid $6.99 for a game that gave me a little fun and then froze and won’t go any further. Really not happy!!! ### 4/5 — Well darn………… *2023-10-04, version 1.0.1* I was enjoying the game but there is a lot of loading longish waits. And I wore the rubber off my stylus 😲😳😂💦but in all fairness I don’t know if it’s the age of my iPad that can’t handle the size of the app OR if it’s just an issue on your end. Either way I decided after playing the free bit (which was pretty long sample thank you for that) that I won’t flog on. It’s just too much agro to be tapping so much and waiting. Not for the impatient folks such as me-self. But if those issues are size and tech capacity \ capability the I feel this would be a very fun game. ### 5/5 — Creepy Goodness *2023-09-20, version 1.0.1* I love creepy hidden object games. The more mysterious and creepy the better. And this is one of THE creepiest games I’ve ever played. From the amazing graphics to the music to the storyline, all top-notch, top-tier, and nothing but fun! This is my first time playing a Paranormal Files game, and I can’t wait to play some more in this series. Well done, bravo! 👏🏻 ### 3/5 — Glitches *2023-09-11, version 1.0.1* I play via iPad Pro 12 screen. I came across too many glitches with the mini puzzles. Had to give up and use skip several times. In the bonus game and having to link the coloured circles, took ages to get the circles to link with their partner. Second part in to the linking circles and could not get the blue circle to link with the corresponding blue circle. The arrow started then stopped and no amount of resetting the puzzle would allow it to link. Had to use the skip button. Bonus end scene with ghost and finding the images, found the first three then the game shut down. Went back in and tried again this time the game held and I was able to complete the game. Apart from those niggles the game wasn’t too bad. I have had trouble in the past with the Paranormal games, so stayed away from them. Thought this latest one I would try again. The game was very long but just too many glitches that were rather annoying. ### 5/5 — Paranormal Files: Silent Willow by LynxMinx *2023-09-11, version 1.0.1* Even without Rick, the game was still fantastic. Remember, we still had an alternate Rick! The gameplay was fast-paced and addictive, and there was an entertaining and innovative plethora of tasks to accomplish at each location. If you love portals, there were many to visit. We were treated to an interesting variety of HO scenes and a couple of novel mini-games. This adventure was lengthy inclusive of the bonus chapter. I didn’t love collecting those eyes. They were extremely difficult to see. In addition, there was a slight lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface. This issue made it impossible to assemble the jigsaw puzzle in the secret room. However, the game was amazing and my actual rating will be 4.5 stars. I cannot wait to discover how this adventure will play out! ### 1/5 — Bonus chapter causes app to force close *2023-09-08* This game has been good despite the touch feature sometimes not being reactive enough when collecting items but I was just in the middle of the runes battles in the bonus chapter, when it suddenly force closed the app. I tried again and it did the same thing. I can’t go any further now, which is very frustrating. If not for this I would have given this game 4/5. ### 4/5 — With problems resolved, it’s a pretty descent game *2023-08-25, version 1.0.1* We all miss Rick — that’s not gonna change, but the last few games without him, and Rachel as the main character with her support team, have been solid. This is kind of like The Tall Man, when Rick was still in the games. That game had a rough start but it was fixed and it is a pretty fun game.The alternative timeline in this one is certainly an interesting idea and has some ongoing possibilities. Rick returning in some future game is certainly something we all want as fans of him and those earlier games, however, it may not happen. Time to just make peace with it and enjoy the games we do have that continue on with the Paranormal Files mythology. ### 5/5 — Silent willow *2023-07-14, version 1.0.1* Love these paranormal stories I hope they make more as I love ❤️ my hidden object games ### 3/5 — Just ok *2023-07-09, version 1.0.0* Waited for a new release and was disappointed. Not what I expected for this series. Was not the type of game to keep your interest in playing. Games does have crashing issues. ## Frequently asked questions about Paranormal Files 9 ### What is the main goal of Paranormal Files 9: Willow?
