Inventory
Very fun game !!!! If you have a iPhone or iPad and the inventory is making you exit out the game or one of the rooms you have to hold on to the inventory button the minute you click on it and it’ll load up w/o making it exit . I had so much fun playing I just wish it wasn’t $6 to continue 💔
Fun game but glitches
Love the game but my inventory bar doesn’t show on all levels and I had to buy deluxe for hints to access the inventory
Great game with annoying glitch.
I was really liking the game until just before I got to the mansion. Every time I clicked something, my inventory minimizes and makes it really difficult to use any item.
I can’t see my inventory to use on I phone !!!
I can’t get the screen to let me use my tools while zooming into where there are needed. Can’t shrink screen .. very frustrating. Don’t get this with I phone . Looks great would have enjoyed. There’s no help button either to be able to ask what to do…. Man I really was enjoying
Alright game, poorly designed.
The game itself is pretty fun but the display is very glitchy. The inventory overlaps with the bottom trigger of the screen so you repeatedly exit the game when trying to click and drag things from it. The inventory will also refuse to open or pop up and down repeatedly without being accessed it makes the game almost impossible to play.
Original story
These days when it seems like devs just copy their games off someone else, here is an original story. Kudos.
Платная игра((
Через определенное время игры тебя ставят пере выбором… или покупай или для тебя игра окончена. Зачем демонстрировать игру как бесплатную?
Enjoyable
A good game but I’m finding it all a bit too bright and colourful a bit difficult on the eyes
Constant glitches
I’m barely through the game and the inventory list just disappeared. I’ve turned it off and back on and cleared my cache multiple times just to have the same glitch. Please fix this.
Inventory bar glitches
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this game, up until the inventory bar keeps ‘minimising’ then when I need to use things uve collected to progress through the game, I press the inventory tab and it removes me to another room! So much so, I’ve got fed up and have deleted the game… I restarted the game 4 times and I’m still having this issue! Please look into this!
Reel fun HOP
Enjoyed this a lot. Something more games should do— when you use the “wrong” item, instead of just a generic “you can’t use that here” message, you get a glimpse of *why* that item doesn’t work.
Would be 5 stars if…
Please for the love of all things good…fix the darn problem with the inventory and back buttons being on top of each other. The setup is so good and what I did play I loved the theme of, but even though I paid for the game I will never finish it or buy another from you unless this update. I do not want to go back and forth 50 times every time I open my inventory. I don’t know if it’s any better on iPad but it’s horrific on my iPhone. Please. Please. Please patch it. I want to know how this ends
Free to play issues
I’m a subscriber and have noticed free to play games which is great. But if I select one it takes me to a game ive already play. Example, select FTP hunchback of Notreadame and taken to the reel horror. Please help
False advertising
Don't like how they let you play 25% of the game and then charge u $6.99. Shouldn't be in free games . False advertising
Eh
The game is fine and not to difficult. I like the options they give you in order to solve puzzles, play a game or skip. I dont like that you have to pay to finish the game. And every game from them is like this.
Play this game
i’ve spent many years playing mystery puzzles, such as this, and this game is probably one of the most fun that I’ve ever had. If you want to play a game or you don’t have to spend any money and yet still have a long fun game, play this one.
Puzzles
The maze puzzle has a flaw. After you cross boards won’t turn off the electricity. The mini game where you find the musical instruments, at least for me would not find the violin.
Bonus chapter
Each hint says nothing left to do on each screen, however I have items in my inventory that won’t work anywhere. The saltpeter is nowhere to be found even after looking in the strategy guide.
Good but…
I liked the story and the game, but it’s very difficult to navigate on a phone. The item menu is in the same spot as the back button so you constantly go back when trying to use an item. What a waste of money as it’s really unplayable on a phone.
Encharted kingdom
Format des Bildschirms ist zu groß. So liegen einige Bedienelemente außerhalb und man kann irgendwann nicht weiter spielen
Mystery Tales: Reel Horror by LynxMinx
Oleg, I wrote you a magnificent review of this game, extremely detail-oriented and accurate. Once again, my review has been deleted and all of them have been deleted as far as your games go. This was one of the best games you have created, but once deleted, I don’t write another review! My rating will remain at 5 stars for amazing!
Stuck at the cracked pillar
Cannot go past the cracked pillar. The hint button is no good it keeps telling you to go there but it doesn’t tell you what to do because something is missing. Looking through the guide it seems like I should have acquired an item in one of the past scenes from some puzzle I solved but you cannot go back and get whatever it is because it is not there. The only way I know how to try and fix it is to restart the game which I really don’t want to play from the beginning.
Some work
Controls need fixed tried picking up things won’t let me
Game form is defective
Using an iPhone landscape doesn’t work with game as your inventory bar is right where your phone menu bar is.
12/2021
Crashed several times. Raised issue but not heard anything. Had to use ‘easy’ to get it to work. Game as many games no good for colour blind people on colour related tasks. Had to actual cheat and look up how to get colours in correct place. Game would sometimes have inventory static open and sometimes would open and close to bottom of screen. Game good otherwise. Graphics enjoyable.
Another Fun Game
Once again I am enjoying playing a Big Fish Game. This game is a lot of fun.
Reel Horror
……is a real shame! It won’t open, and yes, I have tried deleting and starting over several times.
Suitably creepy
Good graphics, varied puzzles, plenty of extras. I enjoyed playing this one very much. Two gripes: ( 1 this is the second time I have posted a review, what happened to the first one? (2 Sebastian is a bore, a one note villain, and thoroughly tiresome by the end of his first appearance.
Difficult to See
This seemed visually appealing and fun, but I spent more time struggling to find objects and accidentally closing the game to end up at my phone’s home screen. This us not a hidden object game per say. It’s more like a hidden room game. I was more aggitatex than relaxed.
Learn your musical instruments!
One of my pet peeves in hidden object games is when musical instruments are mislabeled. In this game, you match outlines of instruments with the instrument picture. When you make all of the matches, you win an Oboe, NOT! It’s a BASSOON! Then, it is used to slide the top off of a coffin! Really????? Obviously the game creators are not musicians! Do your research!
Amazing
I Enjoy playing every single you’ve created, not only are the graphics and story’s , puzzles Brilliant. But you take the time to update and maintain the games. Keep it up!!
Useless app, games too expensive!
The app still takes you back to the same game, more than a year after developers saying it would fix the issue. Price of the games is extortionate. Also, why advertise that a game is free to play when it isn’t? So annoying.
Viel zu teuer
Das Spiel macht wirklich Spaß und ist gut lösbar. Allerdings sind 7 Euro schon echt happig für das kurze Vergnügen
Trial Game Only
“Free game for ipad” implies it is FREE. No where in the description does it say this is a trial only. It should clearly state that up front so you don’t get involved in a game only to discover it will cost $6.99 to finish playing said “free” game.
Great Game
Thoroughly enjoying this game. Thank you.
Complete Scam.
This game is appalling. So it seems free, you play through a lot of story, it was fun enough - and then it just pulls the rug. The creators then want £6.99 for what, half a game? A quarter? Who knows! Why not charge this upfront instead of attempting to trick customers? This kind of behaviour should be banned.
Schade
Wenn man das zweite Kapitel weiterspielen möchte muss man die vollversion kaufen. Sehe ich nicht ein... Das Spiel ist zwar spannend, aber mir ist es nicht wert zu kaufen.
Cut scenes way too long
Ok game, but I found the cut scenes, or dialog way too lengthy. Some of the HOPs were not great either - but I appreciate that you offered an alternative. Pop up tasks were annoying. Not a favorite.
Love
Cannot get enough of these GD games!
Game stinks
Way to many glitches for phone
Fun but too expensive for the amount of content..
This is a fun little game, but at $7, not a bargain for the length. You can literally complete it in a few hours. Should be more like $0.99.
Too expensive but great games
Great games but at $7 per game is way too much. The $5 monthly subscription is still way too much as you still need to pay $5 for each game. Stopped using Big Fish as they became a scam and was happy to see great games by Domini but please make them cheaper or have more offers for $3.99 at least once per week
Wow
I never write reviews for games but this was so much fun, creative, and very exciting. Great job to the developers. Nearly perfect in every way. So much fun and I’m almost 40. Lol. Great job.
Angry
As soon as I paid for this game I couldn’t open it!!!!!
Mini games buggy
Had to skip several games due to graphic issues and bugs. Some of the games had colors that were hard to distinguish what they matched. Others require 3 matches but reset after finding 2 matches. Very frustrating.
古風....
定番ストーリー＆古風なミニゲーム。定番の安定感より中古感が漂う。
