Bad Language is unnecessary!

I want my money back the language so ruined this game for me?


So far it draws me in...

Cvb177NoThanks

I'm am up to the 'flash lantern/color change thing' that blocks certain doorways with Mushrooms, and I admit I'm frustrated. But I love the soundtrack, the strange mix of horror and creepy atmosphere, but also mystery and drama, with a decent storyline. I'm not sure of the original language but this translation to English seems good, there are no distracting grammar issues. Looking forward to finishing it if I have the patience to get through this part. Great price, and love the retro graphics. Not TOO pixelated like many games do now. Thanks Update: Aaaaand ... wow that was bleak and sad. But, it was very unique: not totally horror, because it's based on a regular humdrum human life. I thought the blend of normality and creepy surreal feelings was done really well. But, yes, it's depressing, but obviously that's the point. I thought the use of colors to switch things were interesting but got really annoying in the hotel. Definitely different! Thanks


Vulgar language adds nothing to game

No star. Shows a lack of vocabulary when vulgar language is used. Adds nothing to game.


Great New Gem!

I highly recommend this game! I'm surprised the price is so low. It's a poignant story about greed and a man's regrets, told in the horror genre. Nice pixel graphics, spooky atmosphere, and easy to use touchscreen controls. I have an older iPad (third gen) and there were no problems playing it whatsoever, either. Fans of The Last Door and similar adventure games featuring a good story and casual puzzle challenges should give it a try!

This is a great old school puzzle horror game. It has a great creepy vibe, from the music to the (yes even in 2D) graphics. It's exactly as the developer described it, and it's only $.99! Hopefully not many people will feel bad about "wasting" their whole $.99 if they don't happen to like the game... As for me, it's worth the $1 for a couple hours of fun! To the developer: Great job! I like supporting games that are unique, and you have a great unique one here! Please keep it up, I'll be looking for more from you!


Enjoyable

I thought distraint was going to be a lot scarier than it ended up being but I was enraptured by the overall story. It was difficult to put my phone down when I first started playing.


I love it.

Who cares about the language? Its not overly filthy at all. This is by far my favorite game and I hope to see more <3

I hope more and more apps come out like this, it's something different but really fun to play. Great job!


Loved it!

It wasn't scary but it was definitely a creepy game. I didn't put my phone down once I started playing. I had to know what happened. Keep up the good work!


Worthwhile puzzle game with a creepy environment

I enjoyed this game for a number of reasons: original and logical puzzles, interesting and believable storyline, a couple good puns, and a layer of creepiness over everything that happens. It took me 4-5 hours to play through and I had to look up two solutions online, but I loved the overall feel and experience. I disagree with the reviewer that said this game was a claim about "capitalism" and "eminent domain" and whatever; the game has a message but it's more about how your mental state reacts when you live your life in conflict with your personal moral values. I definitely recommend giving this game a shot!
