Perils of Man reboots the classic graphic adventure genre with striking 3D animations, challenging puzzles and a story that will span four generations, and leave you pondering its profound implications.

Ratings and Reviews
Mixed bag point and click
Things I liked:
- cool concept and story
- good characters and voice acting
- nice stylised animation
Things that need improvement:
- still quite glitchy including a few weird situations where characters got stuck or out of sync with dialogue
- hard to find hotspots and missing objects - only two times I got stuck were because I was tapping on something that wouldn't respond and then would find out I was trying to do the right thing but not quite touching the right place e.g. In the hay and fountain.
- if you are an experienced point and click gamer you'll enjoy the story but find it very easy and quite simple. I finished in around 3 hrs
- needed to solve problems by finding things and completing tasks but no actual game puzzles
I enjoyed the game and glad I bought it as I want to support this genre of game being made but.... definitely don't think it's up there with the greats of Lucas arts.
I would recommend to people who want a gentle story, kids or people who want something more than a hidden object story but not super hard. Die hard fans looking for the next monkey island may be disappointed.
Problem since the update (January 2016)
I had the initial free chapter of the game on my iPhone and iPad, and loved it. The problem was when I went to buy the full game. I downloaded this app, went to the area to make my purchase "in app", but no matter what area I clicked (the individual sections or the discounted full game) to buy the game, it would just make a clicking noise and that was it.
I wanted to buy the FULL GAME since it is on a special to save 25% (compared to the cost of the 2 other sections purchased separately), and it would do nothing but make a clicking noise. Then I tried to just buy the first paid chapter, and I got the same clicking noise. I tried to purchase the game on both my iPhone and iPad, and had the same results.
I wonder if this was done by the game makers to not let anyone get the discount. I am giving 2 stars for the free first chapter, which was beautiful done, and I am sure that I will give it full 5 stars if it would just let me buy (and play) the rest of the game. People have complained that the game is only about 5 hours of game play, but I think it is worth it for all of the work that has gone into the graphics and speech. I just would like to play the rest of the game.
Good overall, but too short.
A good game overall, but everything becomes too rushed after chapter two. It’s like the designers lost interest and were eager to end the story. I won’t include details that spoil anything, but information about Ana’s lineage comes at a comfortable pace in the beginning as you get accustomed to the interface and the flow of the game. After the second chapter, having just become comfortable with how to solve levels by talking to characters for clues, finding helpful objects scattered about, and using the “secret technology” Ana is meant to unravel, the games ends abruptly with a rushed conclusion. I was expecting at least three or four more chapters to enjoy the great technology that the storyline was developing.
