Murder by Choice: Mystery Game 12+

This game is fun to play. I downloaded to earn energy for Murder in the Alps.

So far I really enjoy the game and story as well as the animation. My only negative is a personally one and most likely based upon a false expectation. Now I don’t expect Oscar worthy acting. However I did expect it to live up to Murder in the Alps. The main character, the one you are playing, is just awful. It sounds like me trying to do the voiceovers. Just to give some reference, I would win the award for worst acting in history with a landslide. All the other characters are natural sounding, not forced, and not over the top trying too hard. I’ll still play the game but if that’s something you can’t deal with play without sound.

This is NOT a reflection on playing the game by itself but in regards to playing both games. When I opened the game I accumulated a lot of energy. However, the pop up stated that if you played this game you’d earn energy for Murder in the Alps. I played all of the energy I had in one sitting. When I went back into the other game I was 1 energy point more than I was when I ended the game (4). I’m not sure what I’m missing there. I was signed into the same account in both games but only earn in one.

Thank you for your detailed review! We're glad you enjoy the game and its animation. We'll take your feedback about the voiceovers into consideration for future updates. Join us on Facebook and Instagram at @MurderbyChoice for more fun!

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!

Hi! We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the game's energy balance. You can get extra energy by completing in-game achievements and in our contests. Check out our Facebook group to stay up-to-date and leave feedback: https://www.facebook.com/MysteryIslandGame !

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.
