Perils of Man - Adventure Game 4+

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.

Some glitches and rough edges mentioned in other reviews, yes, but none that truly impacted the function or flow of the game for me. The trial is substantial, including full high quality voice acting, gorgeous 3D graphics, and overall far more than I’d expect from a mobile game created several years ago (2015-ish, I believe). The 1.5gb of free content gives an ample demonstration of narrative, gameplay, aesthetic style, etc. this game offers, and I wanted to continue exploring it in the full version.

My only suggestion is to consider adjusting the price slightly for the full game. I hesitated to say that, given the investment of time/effort/resources needed to produce the product and how difficult the market is for this genre. At the time the game was released, I’d have considered its price a great bargain. If it’d had attempts to polish the minor glitches, or any maintenance updates in the past few years, I likely wouldn’t mention cost. However, after so long without attention, it’s fair to say the developers have moved on from this app; it is offered “as is.” So perhaps the price ought to come down a touch to reflect that. Just a thought.

That said, I strongly recommend the game. Even after years, it holds up favorably among its peers. All fans of classic point and click adventures should be glad when a game of this caliber is made, and show as much support as we’re able to.

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.
