However so times I was left wondering, was there really a clue I missed that somehow correlates these two things. I wouldn’t say they provide much in the way of a “hint” though, but that forces me to stick it out on my own. I was getting frustrated trying to find the place I wanted. Which is great! Since I played it with long breaks in between and you can’t zoom in on the rooms the hints were great in saving time trying to search the rooms for what you were looking for after you found an item to use. First, we must collect three items consecutively from different places in our cell: the ice pick from under the pillow, the coin on the floor and the clip. I did get stuck on a puzzle for awhile and wish the hint would have just given me a clue, like places one piece of the puzzle, instead it solved the entire puzzle. You can not zoom in on items in inventory, which made it hard to tell what it was and if you can’t tell what it is then it’s hard to tell what to use it for. I played it on an iPad mini which made it harder. I like challenging puzzles that can be solved using logic and patience, but not luck and guesswork. )ĭespite these negatives, I generally appreciated the quality graphics and enjoyed the puzzles. I must be too stupid to use it correctly. I even tried going to the advertiser’s website. In 10-15 attempts, it never gave me the hints. I resorted to trying the offer to watch a video in return for three free hints. I wasted many hints by accidentally touching the HINT icon. It’s not only maddeningly distracting, it’s too close to the MAP icon and the lower portion of every scene. And as with all this developer’s escape games, the pop-up HINT icon continuously bounces. I used a walkthrough when stuck and in several instances, I still didn’t understand the logic of the solution. Better games will have a player make use of a found object within 6-8 movements. This early game has a pretty convoluted pathway of rooms, and combined with many objects in possession at any time, it’s very challenging to remember where objects can be played and how to find one’s way back. Having played this developer’s series of escape games beginning with the fourth game, then backwards to this game, it’s apparent they have improved as the series progresses.
