Ratings and Reviews
energy + rollback
I really like that the game doesn’t force ads and lets people opt in or out of them. But I’ve had the same complaints about energy as everyone else. Together, I’ve tried to use the feature of watching an ad and getting 10 energy. I think that’s a great idea. But if I watch an ad, there’s an about 50% chance that a “discrepancy” will be found and “a rollback [will be] issued” which deletes the energy received from watching the ad. At that point the options are to purchase energy, rewatch the ad, or close the game. I sometimes rewatch the ad but this bug really kills the enjoyment of the game and discourages me from trying the ad exchange or a regular purchase in the future. When another nordcurrent game, Happy Clinic, has an issue fulfilling an ad-related reward, it puts up a notice that the reward will be delivered later, and then it actually is. This would help and be a good middle ground from where the game is now and actually improving the energy system. I will say that if I could complete more than two tasks per day, whether that be from decreased energy cost or increased regeneration, I really doubt i’d encounter this issue as much or be as frustrated by it. Thanks for enticing games, have a nice day
UPDATE: I left the game fully closed for more than 24 hours and came back to 160 energy. That was enough to finish the task I’d started before I set it down and do one other thing.

A great game BUT!
I’ve played a lot of games from the App Store and as we all know these in-app-games are set up for you to spend money to advance in it. Some games are actually fairly reasonable in their requirements of when they want you to spend money. This murder by choice is a really engaging and enjoyable game to play, until you “need” to buy energy to advance. Out of all the games I’ve played this game is about the greediest game to play. I’ve said it before and will say it again here. I don’t care how good a game is. If I have to spend a fortune to be able to play it I’ll just delete it. And this game falls right into that category. I earned 50 energy points to add to the 14 I had but don’t think I got 10 minutes of play time out of that much energy. So tell me, how much play time am I going to receive if I start dishing out money? I’m not going to find out. I gave this game two stars because it’s a great game. Otherwise it would’ve only gotten one star.
An update, since my first review I tried watching a video to obtain 10 energy points. After the video ended, the download indicator spun in circles endlessly, never receiving the 10 energy points. This game is worthless and not worth the thought of even open it. In all my years of playing cyber games I’ve never seen such greedy developers. I am noting this games maker (s) and will not download anything else from them. Do NOT waist your time with this game aside from how good it might be it is a total waist of time!

Great game, greedy developers
Love the game. The storyline, graphics, and characters are fantastic. HOWEVER, the energy bar is unfair to players. Every single action costs an unreasonably large amount of energy and there’s nothing we can do to gain energy except wait (1 point every 7 minutes). The energy bar depletes very quickly, and refills very slowly (I had 155 energy points when I started playing. It was gone in about 5 minutes!). Every object found, every choice made, every puzzle, costs energy, I even lost a lot of energy for leaving the game on a hidden objects scene! Some of these actions cost 10 energy points, but you earn 1 point every 7 minutes?? That means that 1 second of gameplay can take up to over an hour to earn—which is unheard of in any game. This is clearly a ploy to make money off of the players and entice them to spend money on energy. I’d like to give the developers 5 stars for developing an intriguing mystery game, but conning players into spend a ridiculous amount of money in order to play longer than 5 minutes at a time is greedy and tasteless.
SUGGESTION to developers: Either make actions cost less energy (ex. 1 object=1 energy), OR give us opportunities to gain energy for actions during gameplay.
SUGGESTION to other players: Look for other games (Choices is a good one) before spending a crap ton of money on this one. Remember that you have options.
