Delightful

This game was so much fun. I’ve never played a game in this genre before where the entire setting is available to you right away (minus some small areas you need to gain access to). In the beginning it’s a challenge, but by the end I knew where everything was like the back of my hand. There are some really out of the box challenges and puzzles here - ones that really make you think, which is no surprise from Glitch. There were a few places I got stuck and had to look up a walkthrough, but each time it was because I had overlooked a clue which isn’t surprising in this non-linear, single-room setting. I kept photos of everything I hadn’t solved yet, so when I got stumped I could swipe through instead of having to check the entire room out again.

Overall this is a fabulous little game - I would absolutely love to do another one like this!

Great but Glitchy

This is a fantastic game. I have played all of them at the time of this review (this was the last one I played) and I am greatly enjoying it (not finished yet). I like that many of the puzzles were multi-faceted. A lot of this type of game is basically fine one thing and then use it. Glitch games have a great knack of making you chain clues together to work out a solution.

My only “complaint” is that the game, quite often, would lock up. The navigation button(s) would not display and nothing reacted to tapping. This may be due to the fact that I tend to click quickly when I know where I am trying to go. This is why I am reviewing before completing the game.

But, despite the annoyance of having to exit force the game to quit and restarting it still is a great game, and the camera feature is invaluable and much better than what other games do by automatically filling in a notebook. I prefer to figure out what is important rather than being told, or even worse not having a way to record the important bits. In many other games I am forced take pictures of the screen (iPad) with my phone.

Clever

All Glitch games are exceptional and I hope there’s a lot more to come! I found this game to be wildly addicting and clever but also a bit frustrating. This is the third one I’ve done without using hints and it was definitely challenging. I loved being able to mix up a solution, and the graphics of that transition were really cool and realistic. The creativity and cleverness are so delightful, thanks again Glitch guys! I also enjoy the creepy themes of all the games, but this one I can play with my kids so that’s pretty fun. My 2 year old is a big fan of the surprise spider :) I felt a bit frustrated with this one since there was more delayed gratification, especially toward the end. Going through a long convoluted puzzle thinking your gonna get a reward at the end and then... nothing...AAaahhh! It started to get me down after a while. I almost gave up at the end bc of another review saying the game was glitching at the end when really they didn’t finish the last puzzle. I restarted the game, played it all over again and realized... Ahaha! So don’t be a dummy like me and listen to that guy, lol.
