Cut and paste photo type scenery is also a little less refined but still nice to look at. These issues aside it easily compares in satisfaction to other quality puzzles of this type. ### 4/5 — meh *2022-01-21* Bumped rating up to 4 stars since can't give half star and would have preferred to give 3-1/2 (or even 3, maybe) stars. Liked some of this but not most. Like the ghost town setting but there was so much back and forth and some clues made little to no sense in relation to puzzles or problems/tasks to solve, while other solutions were super obvious, that I didn't find it particularly engaging. Almost decided to just delete it without finishing but played a little more and got interested enough, or maybe just progressed enough, to see it through to the end. Would have liked to have the option to be able to take photos of certain clues when I wanted--some clues were automatically added to the notebook but others that I'd have liked added were not. ### 4/5 — Props for Old West flavor, not much else *2021-12-26* Not too many Old West-themed PNC's out there so I'm being generous with the rating here, but very little in the way of narrative urgency. Puzzles are run-of-the-mill, though I was motivated to learn how an abacus really works (of course, I still didn't get its implementation here). This game could really use a hint system with all the traversing back and forth. The map doesn't isn't a huge help since it doesn't allow you to automatically jump to the spot clicked on. This developer seems to have good concepts for titles, but after playing most of them I just don't find them compelling. ### 3/5 — Great Game *2021-11-11, version 1.2* I give a three star rating because I got into playing the game and to point of the clue of the typewriter I went to use the clue on the type writer that I got and the drawer that suppose open after you type in the pass code suppose to open the draw well it doesn’t on me and I even restarted the game over to see if I miss something that I should have done before this puzzle and still cannot get it to work. Great graphics and great puzzles but I cannot finish the game because I cannot passed this puzzle of the game to move onto the next puzzle of the game. Until they fix this glich I am stuck where I am in this game. Just be aware of this may happen to you. You will not be able to move forward in the game. ### 2/5 — It's closed *2021-11-11* The annoying thing about this one is it always says a door is closed when it actually means it's locked. ### 3/5 — Shame there is a glitch *2021-11-11* I was enjoying this game until the drawer under the typewriter wouldn’t open! I have the clue from the cave. **Developer response:** Hi , that issue was already fixed in the latest update, if you haven’t updated you can type the keyboard “wagner” ### 4/5 — It’s 99p! Don’t expect the Room *2020-11-23* For 99p this gave me a couple of days of dipping in and out of what’s well, a cool little game. Graphics are nice and the game is fun. The price is great and tailored perfectly for this game. If you are looking for a deep massively challenging game with days of gameplay like the room or eyes of ara then this ain’t for you, put if you want a fun game that will challenge your brain just enough to work out some puzzles and remember your way around an old western town, then fill your boots. ### 2/5 — Cowboy Blues *2020-06-18* Mosey on past this tedious flop. The “puzzles” are nonsensically irritating as you try to figure out what the hell the developers were thinking; no rhyme or reason to any of it- just try to “figure it out”. You’ll know what I mean when you get to the briefcase “clue” which incidentally is where I was forced to stop; the numbers in the clue do not open the briefcase, not to mention the atrocious bug that prevents you from swiping the numbers properly. It’s a shame really because “point and click” games have inordinate potential... yet this one is strangled at the mercy of atrociously bad puzzles and subpar graphics. ### 3/5 — The Ghost Town *2020-06-17, version 1.01* Solamente tres estrellas; porque hasta el punto del código de los colores, del molino de viento, funcionaron el sonido y la música. Después hasta el fin del juego estuvo mudo¡ El juego en si, la gráfica y los acertijos muy bien y bonitos, corto, pero, entretenido! ### 3/5 — No está mal *2020-05-10, version 1.01* Me gusto mucho más el de Alicia. Se ven demasiado claros los objetos q hay q coger y es un poco royo pk coges muchos objetos q servirían perfectamente para hacer otras cosas, a demás de la q se supone q tiene q hacer.. ### 3/5 — Decent enough *2020-04-18* The vast majority of puzzles are reasonably obvious and most buildings only have one item for collection and it is fairly obvious where to find it. A coulke of the puzzles are just baffling e.g abacus. A couple are well-hidden items that take some real finding. Controls are annoyingly clunky and need improvement and the large banner that appears upon selecting every item, does not need to take-up half of the screen!! Overall decent enough for the price, although there are better options out there! ### 3/5 — Sufficiente *2020-04-11, version 1.01* Un po’ troppo corto e senza difficoltà particolari. Peccato ### 4/5 — Lots of fun for point and click lovers! *2019-11-02* I actually had to use the hint book more than I would like to admit. It’s a good time passer with lots of different scenes and a fun story line. ### 2/5 — Completely stuck *2019-08-12* I have played all of MediaCity’s games and enjoyed them all. And I was enjoying this one until I got stuck. I’ve always found the games to have a good level of difficulty. Never too easy, and a bit of persistence when you get stuck yields rewards. But I have been stuck in this game now for two weeks. I have used every item on every inch of screen in every location and nothing is happening. I have matches, a ladder, a gold bar, a crowbar and a bottle of rum. And nothing works anywhere. I’m beginning to think there is a bug in the game. If it turns out I have missed something, I’ll up my rating, but at the moment, I just can’t play the game any more. Disappointing and frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No logic to the game that I can see *2024-03-10* Seems like just a bunch of random puzzles ### 1/5 — Please send contact details for refund - app wont open *2022-02-04* I'd rather not leave a 1-star review as I haven't been able to play the game but couldn't find a way to contact the developer. The app won't even open on my ipad. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2021-11-12* The glitch in this game made me waste hours, until finally I had to check the hints section. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Can’t believe this is a Mediacity game *2020-10-06* I purchased this game with high hopes of it being as entertaining and polished as the other Mediacity games, but was sorely disappointed. I found the clues, storyline, and visuals to be tedious and the music extremely irritating. The first thing I did was to turn off the music. I found myself accessing the Help feature in an effort to hurry the game to its finish and end the frustration. But when I got to the giant rock and discovered that I was unable to place the items called for near the base, I decided to just quit. I sure hope that future games will be an improvement on this one! Waste of time! ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-01-19* While some reviewers liked the graphics, I found them really strange. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that the backgrounds are inconsistent with the supposed setting. Just weird. Then navigation is clunky. Much better games out there ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2019-04-27, version 1.01* Pathetic hints, gave up ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2017-10-01, version 1.01* No logic to clues, just lots of random tapping. ### 1/5 — Too difficult *2017-05-20, version 1.01* Not intuitive at all, the hints are useless, and the game is just random tapping trying to make something work....boring. ### 1/5 — Not intuitive *2017-05-04, version 1.01* Hints not helpful at all ### 2/5 — This one is a fail *2025-08-20* Some of the puzzles have absolutely no logic. The Inn moon-sun-moon left, the rates board right, abacus clues? No sense whatsoever. Necessary to skip the puzzle. The help system tells you to “take the (object) from (location)…” in soooo many cases, either that’s the wrong place for that object, or taking said object requires solving a puzzle, which the help system entirely omits, and there’s no hints for that puzzle. All in all, it’s their worst game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun! *2021-11-16* With winter storms howling outside, this is a nice cozy distraction. The puzzles are challenging and I did have to peek at the hints a few times when I got stuck but they were satisfying to solve. Storyline and characters were kinda cliche western but that’s ok. ### 5/5 — Very entertaining *2021-11-15, version 1.31* It This is a classical puzzle game, with fantastic graphics and puzzles that are not too difficult to solve. There are also clues, if you get suck. It is a very enjoyable game in all ### 5/5 — Bel gioco *2021-11-14, version 1.31* Bel gioco. Non troppo complesso. Insomma ci si può passare molto gradevolmente una mezza giornata. Consigliato ### 5/5 — Fun so far *2021-11-13* There is a bug where entering the keyword into the typewriter doesn't work. There is no audible confirmation that it was solved (like a ding like the other puzzles) and the table does not open up and nothing else in the room changes. As much as I want to, I'm not able to finish this game ☹️ [UPDATE] Ok per the game dev, this has been fixed. Sesame worked! Thanks! Just updated my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars **Developer response:** Hi , that issue was already fixed in the latest update, if you haven’t updated you can type the keyboard “wagner” ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-11-12* Using hints a lot but having fun with this game! Found a bug at one point, but was super impressed with the developer’s quick response and resolution! ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2021-01-16* This was the most difficult of the Mediacity games to solve (for me anyway!) but I finally found the treasure. I love the visual style and the puzzle elements. Great fun! ### 5/5 — Glitch in the game makes it unplayable *2020-06-11* There is no key to be found in the hotel. Cannot proceed any further without this key. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2020-05-27* Most puzzles are pleasingly logical and rooms have only 1 or 2 items so you don't spend ages looking . Hints are clear with a map location so you cannot get stuck. Well thought out game. Excellent puzzles and good story line. More please!! ### 5/5 — Finally did it *2019-09-15* Got terribly stuck near the beginning, but finally found that little key in the windmill picture. Found the briefcase clues pretty hard (and I’m still not sure how I worked it out), but a good game overall. ### 5/5 — My favorite..when will there be more? *2019-01-09* LOVE these games. Anxiously waiting for more... will developers create another game? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
