The Healing - Horror Story

Very interesting, pretty realistic (as in the characters are pretty real feeling, and the chat, phone "calls", pics, etc are pretty immersive). I love these kinds of mystery chat games. Very fun so far, though I'm only still in the beginning. Good writing, pretty interesting, unique mini game. I just wish that the premium price (for the optional starred content) was a little less expensive. But it IS optional, not required, so I'm not going to dock a star over it. Overall very well done!

Overall, the game is good. There is an option to pay for extra content, but at times that does impact your choices (one will be starred, which is a choice you would pay for), and one is not. It is 9.99 go buy the pack for the choices (plus gallery photos, videos etc.) which I feel is a good deal. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the fact the good choices in the game, you would have to pay for (at times). And I feel like that isn't fair to the player. Overall, everything else is very good!

So far so good. The game is immersive & suspenseful and the characters are generally interesting to interact with. I am concerned about its potential to become another Duskwood where the mandatory minigames (which already break immersion and the story's flow in a somewhat artificial way) will get so difficult and frustrating so as to detract from the game's core mechanics... but that hasn't happened yet. EDIT: Scratch that. The difficulty on the puzzles spiked and I'm in a horrid loop. 1 star.

I would choose more if for the content alone, however the issue is that the game isn't playable. The autosave feature doesn't work. Every time I try to progress I lose progress. My phone is brand new (literally just got it like 3 days ago) and no other app gives me problems. I play lots of games similar to this one and some really high powered games too. The game is great, but I can't justify spending time or the money I spent for premium when I can't progress in it.

So the game has a good story line, however it's pretty slow moving and the mini games make it even worse. They draw it out way too long. Some of them are so difficult, it can take upwards to 20 or more minutes to complete, which is absolute waste of time. To bypass them, you need to buy the most expensive package which is something like $30 or $40 dollars, which is insane. Why not allow people to just buy the game for $4-6.99 or cut out the mini games entirely. We can most def do w/o them.

There is a clue to getting through the hacking mini-games at the bottom of the game screens. Click on the clue and you should make it through them without spending money. Loving this game a lot. I've had to seriously pause after certain events and remember that it's just a game because I'm totally invested in it. Oh... and thanks for the lighthearted breaks along the way.

Love that the game has the option to pay for "flatrate" for premium options and extra content AND to skip the minigames. Also: for those saying it's a "duskwood" knockoff: this isn't the first game they've made of this style. Their first game was before duskwood came out. And duskwood doesn't own the genre. Many came before them. The stories are each unique. They have upgraded the system from the Seven series before it and The Sign which has a similar UI system. The twists are great!

I really like this game alot,I would rate it 5 stars but the reason I don't is on the mini games ,they make you have to spend money for the coins. And had to spend $8.99 to be able to get the ability to choose any answers. If you earned coins like every a few hours that would be fair. Because the hearts really never are an issue,it's always needing coins, just in these first two episodes I've spent around $25 that's kinda pricey. Not including the premium thing. The Story is going to fast.

Really good game. The cutscenes are well made and the actors are top tier. I was kinda disappointed about not being able to catch the side villains(spoiler-oni) but the suspense was intense at times. Although I get the fact that the hacking mini games were meant to break up the story segments,it should have been done during phases of downtime unless there was a desperate situation to hack something (which not lying were pretty well done). It's like "we found a vital clue! Hack this!"😪

The story itself actually feels nicely paced, I've played it for about an hour and didn't want to put my phone down, that is.. until you reach the "hacking" minigames, that are very clearly designed just to force ads upon ads onto you, I would honestly rather the game make me watch like 10 ads on a row at these intervals than be roadblocked by this "minigame" it's frustrating and really ruins the overall immersion of it all, unfortunately I can't recommend people try it. 2/5.

Well I was loving this game. It's a lot like duskwood but it's fun!.... until they "upgraded" the hacking in ep 4. Now the game doesn't give me the ad for 3 more turns. I click it and it just says game over and counts it as a life gone. So I can't beat the mini games..... not sure how you're supposed to continue. I don't even mind watching the ads but if that option is glitching you become stuck.

The game is phenomenal. The story is fantastic, the puzzles are compelling, and the characters feel lifelike. I actually cared about what was happening, and the game caused quite a few emotional reactions at different points. My one criticism is that level scaling of hacking minigames could be improved. Some "easy" levels would take 20 lives, while the harder levels of the same type could be done in one try. However, this issue is not worth docking a star because the overall game is so good.

The only reason I'm not giving this one a 5-star rating is because sometimes it takes fits when playing the hacking mini games. When this happens, the offer for more moves by watching a video, and no ad comes up. The same thing also happens when there is that offer for more bics. It's pretty annoying, and when it happens it keeps happening, even after restarting the game.

When I first started playing this game, the option to watch ads for more moves worked every single time. After one of the updates (not sure which), that doesn't work all the time any more. Restarting the game doesn't make it start working again either. It's very sporadic and frustrating. The story line is really good! And the challenging puzzles aren't bad. I only give it 4 stars because sometimes I need those couple extra moves to win a puzzle, and watching the ads doesn't work every time.

Game was great till it glitched out. It's pretty much forcing me to buy coins to proceed, which I will not. I click the watch and add to get more coins as I only had 1 more move I needed but then it goes back to the mini game showing no moves left and doesn't show me an add to earn 1 coin. I have done everything short of uninstalling and reinstalling which I don't want to do as I will loose all my current progress.

I love this game, and I'm so glad I came across it, thanks to their game, Innocent. The story is interesting, and I'm excited to see what happens next. Of course, puzzles stop you before progressing, which I don't mind the challenge, especially needing specific stars, but my problem is the ads. The ads can give you more coins to help you with the puzzles when you run out of moves, but it's broken, meaning I will have to spend my money, which sucks. I hope they fix it because I need it bad 😭

I am only on episode 2 but I am really loving it so far. The story is fantastic. I actually bought the premium and I think it was worth it because the mini games were super hard for me for some reason. I think that was a me issue really lots of other people got through it just fine. I only have one little nitpicky thing. The ad options offered for extra bics or more moves in the game have never worked for me but other than that great game. I can't wait to replay once or twice.
