Phone Escape: Hopeless 12+

I’ll gladly consume anything from the minds of Journal 29!
Thrilling game with thiughtful puzzles. Just know once you get rolling it’s easily finished within a day.

Thank you, Aggronut! We're thrilled to hear that you found our game engaging and enjoyed the puzzles. We appreciate your insight about completing the game within a day. Stay tuned for more thrilling adventures, and happy escaping!

The movements are all mirrored. So you move your finger one way, and it takes you the opposite of what you'd expect -- and there's no option to fix it. Most games have an option for this in settings. Very annoying and makes me not want to play. Also the settings aren't clear as to what is turned on or off. So we're off to a bad start, even without getting into the substance yet. Also, there is no way to just skip a puzzle or get the solution if you don't feel like doing a particular puzzle. How ridiculous lol. No other game does that to you. That says, it seems like this game could have a lot of good potential, as the graphics are impressive. So I'm giving it two stars, with room to grow when all of the above issues are fixed.

Thanks for the review and your suggestions about the non skippable puzzles but this one is not a casual puzzle game - it’s an escape room. It has implemented hints though. About the controls and settings, after hundreds beta tests none of the testers or actual players mentioned any of these issues but every player matters and we’ll check these again. We hope our next game fits you better dear Jare d.

This game is original, well designed, and so good! The puzzles are quite challenging but each time I found a solution I saw that the answer had been right in front of me and I just hadn’t seen it. It really requires you to look and think. The way the story is told creates an atmosphere of spooky foreboding. The graphics are stunning. The hints are very well done and give you a little at a time. Overall a solid five stars. Thank you dev!! Hope you make more! I loved it!

Thank you so much, Suzsho! What a rewarding review! Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're grateful for your support! Stay tuned for what's next!
