On the edge of my seat the entire time
Amazing amazing amazing story
This is my ideal game
Thrilling storyline
Variety of puzzles
Different mediums
Computer, phones, character interaction, psychic abilities etc etc
So much effort has gone into this series and it shows
I only wish there were more of this high quality out there
The story is very exciting
The puzzles are fun and medium difficulty
The voice acting is in English (very good speakers)
The text is in German
The story took me with it (positive)
Now I'm buying the next 4 parts
Because I'm very excited about how it continues
Have had to follow walkthroughs
As this game goes round and round in circles
Have to go back and redo things
Unable to finish game
As Le Pendu statue is assembled but the game won’t progress
Taken steps as suggested in forums but to no avail
Not happy
Too bad the realization is not more fluid (heaviness, illogical sequences of actions)
For the love of god, don’t put the antique together until you have all the pieces
I’ve got a glitch I now cannot finish the game because of
At least not without going back nearly to the start
Also the motions are clunky
And you can’t skip through the dialogue
Because even if the subtitles go, the characters go through all the animations
Really disappointing
The other review is correct
I cannot get the tape player, which is clearly a bug
Do not buy this game until the developers address this issue
Very good point and click adventure
Purchase recommendation
Loving that this has been released on IOS
More point and click adventure games please
This game is not playable
The controls buggy
And the story very lame
A waste of good money
Don't waste your money
Would like to give more stars (good storyline so far)
But game design/mechanics are poor
Spent hours trying to figure out why tape recorder quest is not activating
Terrence won't help and can't call Morgue due to needing Terrence's help
Combed walkthroughs, presented items to all characters over and over and it is just stuck
No matter how much or how little $ paid, game should work
And no, Phoenix, I don't want to create an account, just to see if your site might help me
I'm done
I'm ready to go to the dentist at this point
Somewhere and sometime it may live up to its better reviews but I will never know
I won't be playing it
It is not a user-friendly game
It does not re-orient on IPad Air 2
And the print on the dialogue at the bottom of the screen is so incredibly small
That by the time you find and read it, you have moved on to another screen
I'm really sorry I bought it
Looks to be a really cool game
But the speech text is so small it's nearly impossible to read
I've contacted devs multiple times, but never get a response
Looks nice but repetitive
Bland music
And horrendously slow and monotonous mechanics
And terribly bad dialogue
And chronic voice acting ruin what could be a very nice game
Like pulling teeth waiting for characters to move around and talk
I don't have that kind of time or patience
Let the user skip cutscenes and the forced mechanical walking from A to B at least
I really enjoyed the new Gabriel Knight
So had good hopes for Cognition
I played the lite version first and was happy enough to pay for the full version - so disappointed
It is very slow
And the subtitles don't work properly
I have a small child and the only time I get to myself to relax is when he is asleep so I can't use audio
I am straining my eyes trying to see the tiny print
What happened to the comic book font from the lite version
I've played them all; all the Monkey Islands, all Police, Space, and Kings quests, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Quest for Glory
BUT... This game... Is the best game I've ever played
From the story, to the characters, to the acting
It actually doesn't sound like their lines are being read from a script
They bring true emotions to life
It's incredible
I... Can't even get over how good this game is
I've been stuck playing lame games, by large companies, ( one horrid company in particular ) that just pump out their version of "adventure" games, today, that's just crap crap crap
I'm so tired of "Hidden object adventure"s
Phoenix Online Studios.... Thank you
For opening up a company that understands what quality truly is
It's been too long since a company, such and yourselves, has been shared with the public
Side note: couldn't get game to work on my ipad 2
But it works perfectly on iPad Air
When do we get episodes 3 and 4
Soon, I hope
Thanks again
I found the game great and have just bought episode 2
The beginning (even the light version) initially put me off, as it was too much like horror, but that then subsides and it is a really great entertaining point and click adventure game
Strange that not more people are playing it
Hope for the other parts too
This is a REALLY GREAT game
I've played a lot of them and this is top 5 easy
Need a walkthrough tip every once in a while during the cognition feature
But long play time, good story, and great value for the price
I really loved the story
This game keeps you riveted till the very end
I've never experienced much in the way of crashes
There's mystery, in-game puzzles and interesting characters to make up a great adventure game
The only thing I'm sad about is that the third and fourth games haven't been released on the ipad yet
Nice story
Episode long enough for the price
A lot of bugz wth Erica's physics
A few bugz wth quests
Sometimes slowmo and crashes (iPad mini 1st gen)
Advance English level required
Different quest solutions
Nice soundtrack
IMHO it should to be in 2D
Clever and very elaborate adventure with high suspense
Great voice work, especially Erica Reed
Appropriate music, fine graphics
Now I'm looking forward to the 2nd part and hope that the remaining ones will also find their way into the App Store
Thanks for the good work, keep it up
Really great point and click game
The plot is made like a very good crime novel, which is framed by super graphics
I can only absolutely recommend it to everyone
First time I ran it, it loaded, I watched the intro, did a couple things and it crashed
Since then, it never goes past the main screen without crashing
I would try the demo first to make sure it works first
Great story line
A bit frustrating to work out how to use everything
Sadly didn't last very long for the money
Normally have up to 16hrs of play for the same cost, hence the low rating
Totally immersive game
I can only assume the people who have rated it negatively have a very short attention span
It has a very involving and original storyline
And one which definitely benefits from good dialogue to build atmosphere
It reminded me of the days when Tim Curry took the leading role in the "Gabriel Knight" trilogy and Jane Jensen took the classic point-and-click game into new territory
If you're the type of person who likes a really interesting back-story and who enjoys a bit more sophistication than the usual mind-numbingly dull "hidden object" game, this will be a breath of fresh air
Already completed episode 2 and waiting impatiently for the next instalment
Fantastic classic point and click mystery game
Great storyline, graphics and soundtrack
A little buggy though
Occasionally crashing
And some movement glitches (walking in the air!)
But would definitely recommend and am downloading the next one at the moment
Not playable
Please fix
Really enjoyed the game
Its a good mature story
And is quite well written and acted
Also the puzzles are decent
And the powers you use to solve the puzzles add a cool element
Plus you can deffinetly see touches of Jane Jensen in the game as she worked as story consultant
I now feel more relaxed having Phoenix Online Studios the Gabriel Knight remake after playing this
Also looking forward to playin the rest of this series on iOS
Its not perfect tho there are some pretty odd glitches
Like the character will frequently take to the air and hovering off the ground
It doesnt break the game it corrects itself but still anoyying
And at times there is a little lack of direction on what to do
Like when using the office computer its not obvious what you should press so you end up tapping everything on the screen little things like that
And i dont know what vik83 is talking about completing in under 30 mins
There must be well over that in voice dialog alone never mind travelling to locations and solving puzzles
83 must be a point and click master mind that skips all the cut scenes and dialog interactions
I don't understand the negative reviews some have written on here
There's one of two bugs
And you might have to cheat on some of the harder puzzles until you know how the game works
But this game has been the only point and click I've bothered to finish since Broken Sword
Buy the game, support the developers so they keep churning out more, I know I will
I found game also to be too slow
And had way to much talking in between doing something
Cool
Cool
Very nice!!
Now I'll try the second chapter too..
Not even worth a one star rating
Game, for want of another word, was completed in under thirty minutes
An utter waste of money
Wow this game is awesome keep up the good work
This would be a fun game if it wasn't for all the graphics bugs (popping animations, clipping, material issues)
Which take you out of the immersion that the story creates
Seems like a sloppy port
Being a fan of Kings Quest, Gabriel Knight, etc
This has finally come to iPad, now I can play lying on the bed
This version crashed a few times but can just relaunch and it is ok
Very cool classic point-and-click quest!!!
Without English, it will be difficult to play
There are also a couple of bugs with graphics that do not affect the overall progress and enjoyment of the game!!
Overall I recommend it
But now hurry up with chapter 3, I want to know how it ends!!!
Just wish we didn't have to wait so long between episodes
Not up to Gabriel Knight but Jane Jensen's imprint is still visible
This is a fantastic thriller game
I can't wait to play the other episodes on the iPad
The story line is flawless
And the game play offers enough difficulty without being impossible
The subtle reference to the old Sierra games is perfect
I wish more games like these existed again; they are what I grew up with
Thank you
Really excellent adventure game but it slows down to a snails pace in some parts
Additionally the motion and load times are generally very slow
That said, it's a killer story well worth the price
Was really getting into the game, played for about 3.5 hours already and then the game dropped out
I reloaded - no autosave!!!
Lost everything so would have to start from scratch
It really is a nicely drawn, well thought out game that you get engrossed in
Which is also why it's more disappointing that this glitch and having no autosave feature really let it down
The developers must have rushed through the iPad version of this game
As an iPad 3 user, I would expect more
I can't interact with objects well because the pointer is messed up in the game
Can't even load a saved game because you can't get the pointer to click the Load button!!!!
This is massive flaw and makes the game unplayable
I wish I hadn't spent the money on it and tried the lite version first
I could live with the graphic issues, like the way certain cut scenes have big blue blocks in it obscuring entire scenes, IF the game functioned well
To add insult to $4 injury, the game doesn't orient correctly even with the iPad's rotation lock turned off so you have to play the game upside down if you have a standup case
Horrible game on the iPad
Money back or fixes please!!!!
May 23, 2013 and still no update to fix this
Takes up more than 1GB of space
Deleting
Waste of money
Hopefully future updates will fix the MANY bugs in this game
Disappointing
Unfortunately, this version is still full of bugs
It is teeming with graphic errors, slowdowns and crashes
The loading times are a disaster
And the save function is unreliable
Until all that is fixed: stay away!
Very good story, good dialogues, good puzzle density
Graphics and sound are also great
The controls are okay, but could be better
One star less because voice acting is only in English and German subtitles are sometimes hidden faster than you can read them
I got the tape recorder and the tape, but cannot use the tape recorder to play the tape, getting the message, " this is not going to work with this"
I am revising the earlier review, since deleting and re-loading the game caused the problems to stop
It is possible that I had a bad, or interrupted download the first time, and to be fair to the developers, the game is enjoyable, and I look forward to future episodes
The only reason to remove one star is due to some long loading times between scenes, and some interface oddities
I cannot wait for the second episode
This is a great game with a complex story and unique puzzle solving style
The interface is a little buggy, but its easy to overlook
I hope Phoenix releases the next episode for the iPad soon
Love this game ?
Will there be more episodes
Sure the graphics aren't the best, but the story line keeps you playing
The game play is fun and varied
Thoroughly enjoyed it
Need episode 2
Brilliant adventure game
Beautiful art
Cognition concepts are nice for the genre
Generally good dialogue
There are a few graphical issues throughout the game, notably a blue box for a face when shooting the padlock, and when in the final boss encounter there is a blue box for a bad-guy and two grey boxes for a gun…
Moments of lag in dialogues...
But nothing that detracts overly from the whole game
[Spoilers: "I can't remember the date… it was our wedding anniversary…" -- Good job there, mate.]
Every bit as good as broken sword
Can't wait for the next one
This is a fantastic game
Great story and decent puzzles that don't force you to try everything in your inventory
Well made, exciting, puzzle density okay
Implementation of mouse control is moderately successful - touch without a cursor would be better
I tried playing this game twice and failed both times
I played it on my iPad (3rd gen) and, once, I couldn't get out of my cellphone screen at the beginning, I had to force quit and the 2nd time, It skipped the phone screen so i was able to move on thru the gate at the start
However, the sound stopped working on my iPad! :/
I had to force quit again... I gave up on it, which is sad cause it looks good. >.<
Really tough game for adults
No flowers and berries, there is blood, corpses, and quite realistic FBI routines within a well-twisted plot
And if the investigation is not going well, you can always call your father-general
Don't forget to dig in one dead guy's stomach, there's a surprise
The application crashes after the intro scene, impossible to play
In short, a scam...
Very nicely done
Awesome interactive fiction game
Can't wait for episode 2 to be released on iPad
Easily the best role playing game I've played on the iPad
The story is great, and thank god they consulted writers from the old Gabriel knight series--it shows in the storytelling
Gameplay is a little clunky, but manageable
I haven't played anything like this yet on the iPad--can't wait for episode 2
In good traditions of Broken Sword series
Minus star for numerous bugs
I loved loved LOVED this game
The genre is so over saturated with crappy hidden object games and to find this game feels like finding the holy grail
I think I enjoyed it more than I did Broken Sword
Sure some elements were a bit illogical, but you can't complain with amazing scenes, great characters, gripping story and intriguing game play
I've a sneaking suspicion it'll be available on PC already and am very tempted to buy it on there to get the next episodes now
The biggest issue were the frequent long black loading screens and the movements paths get a bit confused, but besides that - loved it
More ASAP please
Fabulous game
Am soo excited for the next chapter
Best app I have played in a while
This is a great game!!
Very challenging and different from a lot of games out there
It's nice to play something other than an HOS game
But... MAKE SURE YOU SAVE THE GAME CONSTANTLY!!!
After every scene you complete...SAVE!
I lost my progress half way through the game and had to start all over again
That's the only glitch and only problem with it
Other than that... Absolutely loved the game and can't wait for number 2!!!
Great job
Why would I want to restart my game every time I save it?
I want my $$ back!!
I would have easily given a five star rating if game loaded a bit faster.....ie: from scene to scene,it's kinda slooow !
On the plus side....a great game that keeps me guessing
And although easy it's not too easy and grabbed my interest from the beginning
I also appreciate the fact that its more adult oriented than most
Thank you Devs,I look forward to "act two"
Perfect point n click game for iPad
Played it till I finished it
Bring on Episode 2! :D
English at the bottom for dev
Fan of old-school point'n'clic adventure games, I salute this excellent initiative
The scenario is engaging, the atmosphere well rendered, the characters interesting enough
A technical update would be necessary: loading times are too long, the character lags on some animations
Be careful the game is in English or German
English for dev :
Very nice idea, I.m a big fan of point'n'clic game so thanks
But there are technical problems : the game is too slow
Please update the game : loading times between two screens or simply the map are too long on ipad 3 retina (compared to other 3D game of appstore), animation are sometimes strange (very slow when the character turn)
Please include an auto save
If a call comes through or I switch apps I loose all my progress
I'll do a better (more comprehensive) review when it's updated- thanks :)
also please allow us to skip all talking parts (some are skip able)
Because the demo was so good that I bought this only to find I had to play the whole demo again (maybe a "hidden" button or those who have played the demo already?)
Love the storyline and empassioned main character (Had a blue screen instead of her face when she was shooting out the padlock)
And ill support things from Jane in the hope she gets the reins of Gabriel Knight again :)
I have completed the first section twice, and begun the first case, then was not given an option to save when I wanted to leave the app
It is frustrating to have to start back at the beginning each time; how can you possibly make more progress if it is not auto-saving or giving you an option to save
Very disappointed
At the very beginning of this game a cellphone pops up which I can't get rid of no matter what buttons I press including the exit button
I have a current generation ipad
Very disappointing
Don't waste your money
The game started off with a bang - great graphics and movement and riveting dialogue
From there it became similar to other games but not as good
It is difficult to play without hints
And there was this one scene where someone I was interrogating wanted something to eat but I couldn't offer the box of donuts I had!
Game play needs to be improved before I will give it 5 stars
I love games like this but found this one to be literally unplayable
The UI is clunky and unintuitive and the gameplay is frustrating, laggy and simply abysmal
Very disappointed
The iPad has plenty of games that are great for a few minutes and few that are great for a few hours
This is very definitely one of the latter
It also has a mature and engrossing plot and managed to freak me out a little as I was playing alone and in the dark while my boyfriend is out of town
This was well worth my time and money and I cannot wait for the next episode to make be ported to the iPad! :)
A great police investigation game that has the flaw of good games, namely being too short
Moving from scene to scene takes waaay too long
Solid narrative ruined by poor optimisation and average graphics, but fans of oldschool adventures will love it anyway
Riveting story
Graphics and sound are amazing
The interface could use a bit of polish
But it is quite useable once you get used to it
This game is a bit taxing on the hardware, which is reflected in long load times, and a bit of lag
This does not detract much from a great gaming experience
Good job Phoenix
This is what the iPad has been missing
An engaging, immersive, old school adventure game, full of mystery, suspense and a story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat
Definitely worth the few bucks
Jane Jensen is hand's down the best Adventure game designer there ever was
I don't know how much influence she had on this title, but so far, so good
We need more adult storytelling in games
The first generation of video gamers like me are now starting to become old geezers, we needz better storeez
This game is amazing, music is beautiful, atmosphere and story is brilliant, could not stop playing
Excellent
Please bring episode 2 to the ipad
Game is great
The only complaint is the UI was designed for mouse and the put load and delete extremely close to each other
The UI needs to be redesigned for touch
Other then that great game
Finally a game that has the traditional adventure mechanism with a story that adults can enjoy
Very enjoyable and looking forward to the next episode
Completed on PC, will complete on tablet too
