It’s ok

I’ve played better escape games (Haiku brand and others) but it’s not bad. I find that with this developer’s games, many of the challenges lack rationale or logical thought progression. Additionally there is a lot of needless back and forth between areas (ie: part “A” from area “5” is required to open a box in area “3” to retrieve an item required in area “4”) and I generally stumble upon >75% of the items/puzzles by accident. Overall it’s a decent time killer, just not as good as others that are available for free. Try it, perhaps my line of thinking is not attune with this developer and yours may well be. Happy escaping!
Not a fan at all.

I downloaded this game because it was recommended by another escape room app that I finished and enjoyed (Skyscraper Escape), but I was quickly disappointed. I only played Abandoned Mine for about 20 minutes before deleting out of frustration - not because I could solve the puzzles, but because the graphics were animated and two-dimensional. Because of the lack of depth and the monochromatic colors this theme called for, it was very hard to tell what I was looking at a lot of the time. I could barely make out objects I had to pick up, so I just started tapping everywhere until something popped into my inventory, and hoped whatever I picked up was going to give me an inkling of what to do next. There seemed to be no flow between steps, so I found myself undergoing a lot of unnecessary back and forth. Additionally, one of the three clues I used recapped a step I’d already completed and was no help at all. My suggestion: don’t waste your time.
Glitchy
Or do they?
I wasn’t wild about this game from the beginning when it started up with pretty much everything in the same sepia tone - I get it, it’s a mine, stuff is going to be grey-beige. This just makes it harder to see anything unless I switch to full brightness on my screen. I gave up when I got to the padlock in level one (!!!) for what is likely a glitch that prevented me from moving forward. I understood the clues and solved the puzzles, but the padlock would not open. I even used up all my free clues just in case I was missing something, then went to a tutorial video, but no, just a glitch. It was even more annoying when the clues, as another review pointed out, showed how to solve steps I had already passed. Too bad.
DO NOT even download.

This app grabbed my thumbprint an automatically charged me for something. I have no idea what I bought or how much. Next, went to write a warning/ review and it crashed my App Store and wouldn’t publish this review. Stay away from it!
Bug in second level

Was going along nicely when I got to the electrical panel in the Breath of Fresh Air level. The sliding puzzle pieces don’t slide, but snap back. Can’t proceed. Restarted, but still won’t work. Bummer.
Great Game

Noting others comments that items are hard to find, yep, they are. Did you want it to be easier? Another comment mentions going back and forth as you find clues, pick up items. Again, would you prefer that everything and all clues were in the same room? As far as the guy who says haiku games are better, I also disagree, those haiku games are not layered like this one, they auto-populate clues in a notebook, most of the tasks are linear, and the puzzles aren’t integrated into the game like this one... there are simply puzzles for the sake of a puzzle. As well, the graphics are on the cheesy side. I would rate this game similar to Glitch Games work... deep, layered, hard, puzzles are clever and fit well into gameplay with well done art. My only issue is that the game occasionally freezes on my iPhone X. Great game!
Not sure about other review. But is a great game

Almost didn’t download because of bad review. I’m so glad I did.
