Dark Things - detective quest

I love the cookie option. I get the game for free and y'all get paid. Win win. I like the nostalgic graphics. The dialogue is funny but in serious need of spell correction. I ran into a few glitches. When I would re-enter a room an item I already picked up would be back in its place until I clicked on it or a text box of something I had already investigated would automatically pop up. Nothing serious. The game is overall short and not challenging enough to pay for but still enjoyable to play. 3*

Great point & click adventure game! Imaginitive game play, storyline, and entertaining dialog. I do wish there was a walkthrough available. Totally stuck on episode 3 in finding a symbol of fortune - and I've tried everything in my inventory as well as clicking on every person & object I can find. Without a walk-through, how do we know it's not a bug in the programming? Otherwise, it's a fun game and I look forward to more episodes.

The stories are incredibly short, short enough that I can't justify paying $0.99 for three extra ones. The puzzles are simple enough, excluding the little games with the characters like the coded door and Connect 4. It is nearly impossible to get the right code or win the game, after playing for over an hour. The controls are a little off, and bugs explained away as in game quirks and features by the developer. Would not recommend or play again.

this was stupid. the game was very short. but mostly it was dumb. if i click on something it goes into an unstoppable sequence of text that i have to run through every time. there is no way to escape from it. the story didn't make a lot of sense either. i couldn't even quit out of it. there was a christmas game there too, that was even more clumsy to play. at one point i was playing some kind of game with a monster, there were no instructions, i had no idea what i was doing, or how to get out of the game. i had to actually go back to the main screen of my phone and erase it. old ega games, looked like this but there were more navigation friendly, had better jokes, and were overall better.

The game is fun, and the puzzles through it are good. It just takes so much cookies to unlock each subsequent episode. You get 15 at the start but you can't buy the next episode until you have 18. The cookies are also used as a hint system, which is nice, lots of games make me look at a walkthrough because there are no hints. I haven't actually used any, the puzzles aren't that hard. Making each episode cost a little less cookies would be nice, but it is good that it's not a paywall.

The graphics along with no cues make this game a frustrating waste of time. You have to tap and drag your finger around HOPING to land on something that is part of the games content and not just a background prop. Because the graphics are so bad it's really a stroke of luck when you land on something.

Nice. Witty dialogue, some simple and relaxing puzzles (except the sliding puzzle, which I hate), moderately interesting story, pixel-art graphics. Also, with some patience the game can be played for free in its entirety. Downside: lots and lots of typos, in English as well as in Russian.

It was fun! I enjoyed the puzzles, and the story was a ride to follow along. I especially likes the occult elements because they made everything much more interesting. I do wish Miss Cole had more of a use rather than just a source of ingredients (and a commentator...?), or that the parrot tagged along on more adventures, but I suppose I'll have to wait for the sequel to see more of them.

Its short and nice. The graphics are simple but pretty and charming, the stories are interesting and made me chuckle at times. The only gripe I have is really that I wasn't smart enough to figure the door lock puzzle in the first chapter out fast enough and so the game simply unlocked the door for me after a bit. I would have liked to have the option to simply continue trying to solve it myself
