Adventure gaming at it's finest

This is a quality game with many hours of gameplay, interesting puzzles, and very interesting characters to interact with. You play as several different characters over the course of the game, switching as you want or need too. The game in infused with lots of humor and late 80's references (as the game is set in 1987). I was always a point and click adventure game fan, and this game does not disappoint. Designed by the makers of some of the best adventure games of the past, know you will find intelligent, funny, and interesting content from beginning to end, and you will likely want to play again to look into the details you might have missed the first time. Make sure to check the game options carefully when you play, as you may want to enable some interesting options right from the start (seriously, do this!).

Gr8 game BUT... 👎🏽

This game is great, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and found the puzzles entertaining to solve. However at times there are not enough clues that will help you solve certain puzzles *SPOILERS...kinda*
For example: When Delores needs a specific tube type to enter into the factory you need to give her shirt with the tube design to the tube shop. There is absolutely no clue to this, and I had no reason to think that this is what I needed to do. Towards the end of the game I found myself constantly calling the Hint Hotline. The ending was also very lackluster, leaving loose ends. The other thing... THE PRICE. I was expecting this game to be WAYY longer. For $10??! This was about a 2 -4 hour long game depending on how good you are at solving the puzzles. There’s also tons of items that are completely useless, certain story plots that are never answered, and once you beat it the first time it’s kind of pointless. I have no reason to keep the game, and I’m kind of disappointed I payed $10 for a one time use game :/

If you’re willing to pay the price the story and game play is great. But maybe save your money and buy two puzzle style games instead of just the one. Unfortunately why’ll I enjoyed it, I wouldn’t recommend, wish I saved my money

Developer Response ,

Hello, sorry to hear that you found the game short and that there were some aspects that you didn't like. We're a bit surprised that you were able to finish it this quickly, since a full playthrough in Hard Mode usually takes people around 10 hours or more. There's also the option to play the game in Casual Mode first and then in Hard Mode later (the Hard Mode adds new elements to the story and puzzles), so we think that also increases the potential replay value and overall length of the gameplay.

Mixed Feelings

This game seemed to have everything a good adventure game should have: interesting characters, good story, a little humor, a little creepiness, and a vast amount of locations and objects to explore. Especially at $10, I expected it to be one of my favorite iOS games.
Unfortunately, I found it very tedious for the most part. Like with most other adventure games and puzzle games, I always find myself looking forward to playing them, but this almost seemed like work. Maybe some people like having a million objects and items to use or click on, and tons of places to try to use these objects on, but it just wasn’t that much fun. I really enjoyed the story, and the characters were cool, but I really wanted to follow the story better and not be spending 90% of the time guessing at what to do next.
I know that this was a well-made game, and I experienced no user problems. But I was hoping for more puzzle-solving without the use of multiple hints. Sorry
