Watch out, Kate! That is NOT Murphy!
Why did you change the character design? I like the way Murphy used to look. You know, the character we’ve spent YEARS getting to know? You must know the guy I’m talking about… The one we were actually invested in. It’s like you’ve recast him, but with a way more bland, generic actor. And then, what? just assumed fans of the series wouldn’t notice? It just feels as sleazy as it does pointless.
Doesnt work
Solved the puzzle and it didnt let me advance. I even watched all the ads to get all the hints to make sure i solved it correctly.
The game keep glitching
One of the levels on this game keep glitching and I can’t play it so I had to delete it so I hope someone will take whoever made this game. Thank you.
Terrible game!
Terrible!
AI Art
I’m very disappointed to see AI art being used here. Especially since I had been spending money to support your team. I was so happy to support a brand that cares and wants to keep the point click adventure/escape/mystery genre alive, but I can’t in good faith support the use of generative AI. I wholly understand the effort and time to continue making the things we both love, but resorting to a tool that spits in the face of creative work is a sell out. Please take your time if it means being better than this.
Game malfunction
Legend of the time stones chapter 8
Just got into the tower . Found the lever handle on the left side of the screen under the rocks. It went into my inventory. I then opened up the past rif with the pink stone and gave the handle to Luna. She at that point was supposed to climb up the dragons tail to place it in its spot on the 2nd lvl in the past for me to then see In The present. However .. after I gave it to her . Nothing happened and if I go back in the rif she asks me have I found the lever again. But the rocks are still moved it’s not there or in my inventory because I already gave it to her and she was supposed to go attach it. So now I’m stuck and can’t move on. And I’m very upset about that. Is there anything that can be done to maybe reset this level or something

Fun
Fun but to much time reading everything
Money grab
I tried playing Murder Inn and it wasn’t intuitive at all. I had to pull up a YouTube walkthrough to help me through almost every step. Escape room and puzzles are some of my favorites games so I’m no dummy but this game just felt poorly made and an attempt to get you to throw money down for hints. Not fun and I don’t recommend.
Nope
I used to love these games but over the last few years they are no longer intuitive, obviously made to get you to spend money. I’m very close to deleting the whole lot of them.
Fun game some of the puzzles are too hard
I love this game but some of the puzzles are so hard there shouldn’t be an ad limit. Some of the puzzles seem impossible. I tried every variation to pour 6 cups in the coffee glasses and had to pass it even writing down every variation I tried there was no way to do it. I feel like it’s purposely made impossible to pass without purchasing which is disappointing compared to some other games. Right now I’m in a fight where the computer seems to get plenty of moves and the player is left with only one move in the third round and it always fails either in the second or third round. If the computer can use the knife 3 times then we should be able to use the two moves that actually either equal it or block it three times too!! But it’s fixed to make you buy stars and not everyone has the money to spend on games with the rising costs of everything.
Refuse to believe most of the positive reviews aren’t bots
This is one of the worst of these types of games I’ve ever played. The “beginner” level is mildly challenging in places (expected) and absolutely impossible in others. There was an entire chapter I couldn’t get through without hints for every puzzle. And half the time the hints are totally useless and you have to look up walk throughs online anyway. The answers in most of those cases are things no reasonable person would have been able to figure out on their own. And this is supposed to be the beginning level?
The final straw was when I finally had to get the game to GIVE me the answer to a puzzle and when I followed the instructions… nothing happened. IT GAVE ME THE WRONG ANSWER!!

Used to love it but…
This game used to be really fun but now all the new stories are pay to play and free one has less and less chapters. There is no reasons to look forward to an update anymore.
too many ads
fun game but way too many advertisements.
