The Uncertain 4+

I loved every minute of this game— it is clever and interesting and has a great story, with puzzles that are not very hard to solve but still take some thinking. But then I got up to the room with the security turrets at the lab and what was a puzzle/story/adventure game suddenly requires reflexes that I, someone with a joint disorder, just don’t have. I tried— for hours— to get past that scene, and I watched play throughs, and tried to do what those players did, and I simply physically can’t. Usually when I encounter a game that’s going to need fast, calculated motion, I know it in the first few minutes and can nope out. This reminds me a lot of Life Is Strange in that it’s a game that I was able to play almost to the end and am now stuck because it is asking me to do something that is a physically impossible for me. If you’re going to create a game where one scene has a radically different gameplay style than the rest, PLEASE either warn up front or have a way for players like me who can’t play in that way to skip the outlier scene. It’s so frustrating to get so invested in a game and then have to just stop without getting to know how it ends because the developers didn’t think about disability access.

While I too spun around awhile coming out of the apartment building I was able to get around the glitches and finish the game. This appears to be a new game. The story was entertaining and I definitely think that minor glitches in no way should depreciate the fact that this is a five star game. You can fix glitches but the story/game itself is top notch. To the devs, I use IPad Pro 1st gen. I was stuck a few times in the air ventilation room too. I was able to either shut down to get out or just happen to hit it right. It almost seemed that the exit was off screen. Had there been a place that allowed me to save it, Along with your auto save feature, then I wouldn’t have lost minor progress. During the airborne sequence it seemed that I had no control at all, I kept smashing into things. Maybe I was supposed to but even when there appeared something at the bottom of the screen I didn’t get it. Perhaps it was just me. The gyroscope is definitely touchy. I learned to slow down to keep it from looping. I wish there was a way to be updated in the game with new chapters (like an update appears that gives you the opportunity to purchase new episodes) as I look forward to purchasing the next one. I only comment on glitches for your information, habit from beta testing. Thanks for hours and hours of good/fun entertainment.

I like this game a lot. However, I am playing on an iPad Air (first gen), and the game crashes at the end of nearly every chapter, forcing me to replay it. The second time through it seems to save progress normally. The crash always seems to happen after the shield symbol “stutters” the second time.

Gameplay is great. I love the interface, and moving around is intuitive. I enjoy having to choose the answer at certain moments.
