Mystery novel and Escape Game [The Prison Boys] Reviews

I can’t give a fair rating yet

AwesomeApp!!❤❤

I played the game pretty far in, was very into it and very attached to the characters. Then, I got a new phone and redownloaded the game. I’m not seeing any way to transfer my old data and it’s really frustrating me. I don’t know if I have to play through the first chapter or something, but I’m seeing no options and I’ve tried clicking everything available to click on the home screen. To be completely honest I do not wanna have to play through it again back to where I was, because that would be extremely tedious and honestly a little boring (considering I already know everything that’s going to happen) with all of the minor interactions, puzzles and etc. tbh I’m sad because it seems like an amazing game, I just really wish it had a way to transfer data (unless I’m just really stupid and not seeing it which is entirely possible) so that I could finish it. Until then I can only give it 3 stars as this is something that really, really frustrates me :/

Amazing game!

Honestly, I’m just keep this as short as I can. I got this game because I am almost obsessed with anything having to do with escape games, murders, mysteries, etc. I am only on chapter two and I am loving it so much! But one bad thing is the tickets. I used all five of them up in about fifteen minutes and I do not feel like paying for more, so then I have to wait forever just to get them back and do the same cycle over again. Other than that, everything about this game is flawless so far!

Story was the selling point

My initial intrigue came from what the story seemed to be, and while I wasn’t sold immediately, one of the strongest points of the game is that you can view the entire first chapter without the use of tickets. This allows you to get a real grasp of the adventure that’s to come and I sincerely admire that. However there onwards is where problems start to arise. While the story itself is the strongest aspect and is very good on top of it, the actual gameplay has many faults. There’s particularly difficult puzzles that seem like you need to know actual Japanese to progress with them. Some items are supposed to be obtained so you can truly progress, but the game allows you to move on so many times which means you’ll notice it too late, such as when you use the watch in Chapter 5 to get a piece of paper you had no way of knowing was concealed there. And my biggest issue is with how you must play the game in order to even reach the final chapter. Without spoiling it, you had to make particular choices throughout the entire game that show trust towards a certain person. If you don’t do it because you the player simply don’t trust them, which I think is very valid, you can be screwed from as early as the Chapter 2. This requires you to play through the entire game again without jumping stages if you want to reach the climatic conclusion, which is in all honesty, really worth your time. Despite the flaws laid out, the story is what I was in for, and I wasn’t disappointed in it. I came out loving a great handful of the characters (especially the Saeki brothers) and the true ending is heartwarming and satisfying. The mystery takes a really sudden turn and just when you think you’ve got a conclusion, ah ha shut up no you don’t, there’s a whole half chapter left to cry over about. And trust that I did cry. If you can handle the shortcomings I think you’ll see that the story, mystery aspect, and characters make up for it quite well.

BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED

I remember playing this game a long time ago and it was my favorite! I love this game to much, I literally have one of the characters as my password, and no im not joking. In summary, I love this game and it will forever be the best game I have ever played. Promise.

Really good

It’s good, I wish there were other games like this one. I really have no problem with anything. The storyline is amazing and draws you in, and the art is fantastic, too. To be able to interact with character and search your surroundings makes the game automatically an A+ in my book. It’s really good, and I would totally recommend if you’re into mysteries and stuff.

Absolutely Mindblowing

Aside from translation errors, this game was absolutely amazing. The story was incredibly interesting, the mystery was not too simple and challenging enough for me to enjoy, and the art and music was so beautiful. 100% I will definitely recommend people to play. You don’t need to buy anything to play, but I ended up doing so anyway because the story was so good. There is a bug where in Kyouji’s story if you fail to get the Yokozukarai letter before hand and return to the main menu, Kyouji’s music keeps playing but it goes away if I restart the app and then chapter select.

Holy Cow

To be truly honest the game would get a bit boring, but it just has this suspense and curiosity that makes you want to read more. Truly amazing and quite penetrating to the readers mind. It may also be a good thing that it may also scare me once I find out more throughout the whole story.

Great game with exhilarating story

I actually downloaded this game on accident but I stayed for the ride. I haven’t finished it yet but it is GREAT. If you like games with detective mechanics like Ace Attorney you’ll love this game. I never leave reviews but I had to for this game. One small problem for it is the translation has minor mistakes but it doesn’t take away from the gameplay or story.

Honestly Just Amazing

I have watched, read, and played lots of murder mystery related things, but this game was definitely a lot better than some others. The animation, storyline, and the pleasure of picking the pieces is just amazing and I looked forward to the next day where I left off.

Amazing story! You should totally get this app
