This one is worse than the prior, in my opinion. I credit the dev for the aesthetics and theme, and the story is not bad, but: - more often than not, the puzzles made no sense. I wasn't sure what I was meant to be working towards, especially in chapter 3. It's not like other games of this ilk where you know what to aim for; some just didn't make sense. - the writing needs a proof read if releasing to English audiences I play as long as he makes them, but a little frustrating.

Pros: nice graphics and storyline Cons: no hint system which could've been used to place ads instead of awkwardly having random pop ups in the middle of the game. The puzzles don't have any instructions either so it can be confusing to figure out for harder puzzles. If there won't be a hint system anytime soon, I suggest posting a walkthrough video on the same day as release date.

Overall, I think the first one was better. It started well, the puzzles weren't easy but also weren't impossible to complete. Then it started getting a bit all over the place. Some of the answers to the puzzles didn't really make any sense, and I'm not sure how you're supposed to solve some of them using logic and not by just clicking around and trying to guess. The story seemed rushed as well, some things were left unclear. In the end, it was fun to play, hope there's a next one.

Good game, but very obviously rushed for the release on the promised date: this can be seen from how things don't maintain their state when you zoom in and out (the grates that appear locked after you open them are one example). If you lose, you have to restart the application to get back to the checkpoint. However, the main reason I'm rating low is the terrible performance that drains battery and immensely heats the phone for no reason. As good as this is, it could have used more beta testing.

This game was so fun to play, I did give up a few times and may have cheated by watching a walk through but still, the storyline was amazing Aswell as the art. I think I like this game better rather then the second game. The only problem I have is that when you watch the ads for the hint its not really helpful and I was stuck for a while.

So far I really loved the game, even though it was a bit short. The storyline and graphics ard really lovely. But, I feel like it may have been a bit too hard and some solutions were a bit illogical, therefore making it harder to solve. I'm not sure if there is now a walkthrough, but when I played there wasn't any and I struggled so much I almost quit. To sum it up, this game is really good and challenges you, if you're up for a mind twist try it, but start with the alchemist first. :)

Rather disappointing after the 1st game , which I loved ! ( Except for the rather obtrusive soundtrack) After 5 minutes I bought the ad-free version ! The ghost vision, which was my favourite feature in the 1st game, is only regained at the end and instead of having your items on screen you constantly have to open the briefcase . The entire game is situated in a psychiatric asylum , so the decor is quite boring. I hope the 3d game will be more like the 1st one !

Game is glitchy, some puzzles will not complete unless you exit and try again. Some puzzles I had no idea what the objective was, but I got through on luck.

I'm facing a strange problem. There are black stripes covering like half of the screen. I can see space between the strips but it's making it hard for me to play this. I thought that it was a part of the game but then I looked up on the Google and here and it was not. I had already reinstall it but am facing the same bug. Yeah, now it's working properly.

Very nice, however, i found the first one was more intriguing. Other than that the game went smoothly and easy to play along with the graphics compared to the first that improved. The storyline went smooth along the first game. Im hoping we have another game of his adventures and him finding out more of himself and whats within him. 😁

Ok game. I def needed a hint to get chap 3 started & it's a pretty challenging game but very short and I escaped but it seems like there was stuff missed. We're the slides significant? And the brain? Were they mini games? Or just pointless. Idk.... Not a really impressive game. First one was a lot better. Imo.

Love this game - thanks for making it! The art style and music are great, and the puzzles are very nicely done. The mood you set is awesome. I love how the story moves along, and how you re-used the same scenes with paths along the story. Please make more! FYI - one minor bug I found - when first doing safe-cracking with the stethoscope, the waveform was not working - it was just a straight line. I had to leave/re-enter the game, and then the waveform started working.

Not bad, had some issues. Sometimes, clicking on things was near impossible. Sometimes, I had to restart the game to get something done. When I came back to the game, ouzzles were reset back in place, but the progress of finishing the puzzles was saved, so that was a bit weird. So even with the glitching, I did have fun. The most frustrating puzzle was the laser board. It took me forever. Your hints are also incredibly unhelpful. LOL. Either way, hurry up and make the next one!

I really enjoyed the game! My suggestion is that there needs to be an indication that you've pressed something during the mechanical games - either have a noise or light up the area that you've touched. I enjoyed all the puzzles but it was difficult to know how to play some of them. The difficulty level was good but I was often guessing what to do, like how to play it. Overall it was a great game and I'll definitely be following as I'm sure you'll keep improving! It was worth the $2 to support!

For me, there was a glitch in the laboratory I was unable to move past. I had to un- and reinstall the game in order to get through. Also, in the 3rd chapter, it cut me off before I did anything and said, "Thanks for playing". I hadn't yet solved those puzzles, I only looked up the stairs, the doc said I'm not getting out and the game ended...

A solid escape game/mystery sequel. The third fish tank puzzle was taking me forever, so I looked it up on YouTube, but the rest was straight forward enough that the hints were enough if I got stuck. These are a bit more advanced than a lot of escape games, so keep that in mind, but they're overall good, especially if you're looking for a challenge.

Great game! Had a lot of fun playing this one. Great story & puzzles (all difficulties, but hints helped - usually lol). Only criticism & it's minor would be I thought it was short, the 3rd chapter can cut you off prematurely (exit game & restart, just don't go upstairs) & some hints should either help with puzzles/clues or get rid of ads for completed tasks. I did some things out of order & had to watch ads for tasks I did or needed help with something I couldn't have help with a couple times.
