3D Escape Room Detective Story 4+

This game is amazing for those who enjoy interactive puzzle games such as “The Room.” It has a great mix of easy and difficult puzzles mixed together which I really enjoyed. However I found some objects were easily passed over in you don’t press on a certain spot on your screen which would cause you to miss an entire puzzle completely and some spinning objects were giving me trouble to spin on my iPad. But I really enjoyed this game and wish it was longer but I highly recommend! Wish there were more games like this! Well executed and the thought process behind each puzzle was well thought out. Almost all the puzzles had pieces that were linked to a different puzzle which makes it difficult but VERY entertaining. Loved this game!

So far so good reminds me a little of the 4 rooms games. I just finished the first case in the game.

My only complaints thus far are that the “thoughts” or “comments” that display once and awhile go away too quickly. They are meant to set up the next part of the search or give you some insight into the case, but because of them disappearing I seem to notice them just in time for them to disappear. Which means I only get a chance to read about half of the comment before it’s gone. And then there is no way to view the detectives commentary again.

Another small issue is when using the telephone, figuring out how to move on during the conversation is a bit of a pain, since there is no direction on how to move forward. Usually a game indicates or gives an option to move on when the user is done reading the talking points, so I had to fiddle around and finally found if I touched the phones dial rotator the conversation would move forward. But I could also have missed some dialogue during my search, but I’ll never know since there isn’t an option to review the dialogue again.

If you like The Room series this is a must play. Technically it’s free but you will likely need hints or want to pay a few bucks to skip the tedious puzzles. I probably had $12 into it total, but totally worth it. Would recommend to skip the commercials, but did enjoy the nudges and discounted hints for little to no charge. Story line is kind of lacking…but that isn’t why you play these games. Love the Cocoon type game style where levels are within levels as you go into different sub puzzles.. Only thing keeping this from a 5 stars would be a stronger story and improved graphics. With the new iPads out now, I challenge this dev to go for it. They certainly have the skills to pull it off. I look forward to seeing what other kinds of games they have. Enjoy.
