Cannot get tape player

SiSantaBarbara

The other review is correct. I cannot get the tape player, which is clearly a bug. Do not buy this game until the developers address this issue.

Really enjoyable and mature adventure

Ron Cellini

Finally a game that has the traditional adventure mechanism with a story that adults can enjoy. Very enjoyable and looking forward to the next episode.

Loved it, loved it, loved it...now bring on Chapter 2!!

Four words, Jane Jensen story consultant! After a long Kickstarter campaign and lots of anticipation this game really delivers. The story and characters pull you in immediately and the ending just leaves you wanting more. I just finished the episode and literally can not wait for the next one to come out. The only draw back to this game is that it can be glitchy and it does not auto save your game so make sure you SAVE OFTEN. It only force closed on me once and I had saved so much that I didn't lose much of my progress. Also sometimes the loading times when transitioning from scene to scene can take a bit long but I would wait a half hour for it to load, that's how much I loved this game. *I just wanted to pass along the one major bug I found. When you are investigating the first crime scene you will have to use your intuition in a couple of places. When I played the game and turned on my intuition the blood spatter was not an option that I could click on but you need to select to move the game forward. However, you CAN select it but it just won't show up with the blue mist around it. Hope that helps someone else since I was stuck for a bit. Now go buy this game!

Jane Jensen says it all.

Jane Jensen is hand's down the best Adventure game designer there ever was. I don't know how much influence she had on this title, but so far, so good. We need more adult storytelling in games. The first generation of video gamers like me are now starting to become old geezers, we needz better storeez.

What the iPad has been missing

This is what the iPad has been missing. An engaging, immersive, old school adventure game, full of mystery, suspense and a story line that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Definitely worth the few bucks.

Finally a rich and full game!

The iPad has plenty of games that are great for a few minutes and few that are great for a few hours. This is very definitely one of the latter. It also has a mature and engrossing plot and managed to freak me out a little as I was playing alone and in the dark while my boyfriend is out of town. This was well worth my time and money and I cannot wait for the next episode to make be ported to the iPad! :)

Clunky and frustrating

IAMBETTIS

I love games like this but found this one to be literally unplayable. The UI is clunky and unintuitive and the gameplay is frustrating, laggy and simply abysmal. Very disappointed.

Mixed feelings

The game started off with a bang - great graphics and movement and riveting dialogue. From there it became similar to other games but not as good. It is difficult to play without hints and there was this one scene where someone I was interrogating wanted something to eat but I couldn't offer the box of donuts I had! Game play needs to be improved before I will give it 5 stars.

Crappy

At the very beginning of this game a cellphone pops up which I can't get rid of no matter what buttons I press including the exit button. I have a current generation ipad. Very disappointing. Don't waste your money.

True luv

I would have easily given a five star rating if game loaded a bit faster.....ie: from scene to scene,it's kinda slooow ! On the plus side....a great game that keeps me guessing and although easy it's not too easy and grabbed my interest from the beginning. I also appreciate the fact that its more adult oriented than most .Thank you Devs,I look forward to "act two".
