Detectives United: Origins 9+

I was all giddy when I found Elephant Games and that you continued on with the Mystery Trackers, Haunted Hotel, etc stories. Those have been and will always will be my favorites. And having all the characters together is a wonderful collaboration. I actually love interacting with the detectives and playing from different perspectives. I would love an app, where fans can keep up with news and developments with upcoming games. Yet, I know you guys are just getting started so, baby steps 😅

Update: I did buy and play this game after reading the reviews of the PC version and I did enjoy it immensely. I am thrilled to have these style of games finally released again. But I do think $2 does make a difference when you tend to purchase every single HOA game that is released. The difference in price does add up. And I am hoping that the developers will realize that - especially with such a loyal fan base. I am hoping that they will reward that loyalty by giving a couple of bucks off to those of us that buy their games immediately. Having said that - this game was great - kind of a superhero’s of elephant games get together. I am hoping all the other developers start releasing their games too. It was wonderful having my guilty pleasure back.

Finally a hidden object mystery game. The demo looks good but it was short and seems to follow the standard plot. I was going to purchase the game but...... it was 6.99. I was expecting 3.99 or 4.99 at most. I wasn’t going to take the risk for $7 after such a short trial, no matter if I am going through withdrawals or not.

I played the Alice Christmas game all the way through and really liked it, so I downloaded this one to play next. I was disappointed as this game is quite the opposite. Increasingly more buggy the further I went in the game. The touchscreen was sometimes not responsive, and at other times it was too touchy, sometimes trying to click on an object would kick me back 2 screens, the list of inventory items at the bottom won’t always scroll and I can’t get to an item I need. The buttons were way too small and all crammed into a 1/2in space (iPhone 7+) so I’m constantly clicking on the wrong thing. I don’t play these types of games for the story (does anyone?), but having to switch between 3 characters is annoying and pointless. I DO, however, play these games for the hidden object scenes, which are few and far between in this game. I gave up and got a refund.
