New York Mysteries 4 9+

Why can’t I buy?

Update: it’s been years since I’ve played and am crushed there were only a few games collector’s addition available.. on top of that I’ve purchased almost all your CE games previously and I had to repurchase again!! That’s crappy. And I really despise the F2P game standard! Why not just give your players a choice to buy or free play? You still produce the best quality games out of any other competitors. Love them,,!!

You usually put your games out for purchase at 6.99$. I don’t care for this “FTP” stuff as the map is really useless and doesn’t tell you where available actions are waiting. I don’t want to pay for hints and there’s definitely not many free ones! Same as skipping a puzzle, you have to pay. I love your games more than any other developer so I guess I just feel disappointed you’re releasing them like this. My memory is so bad from cancer treatments these days it’s hard to recall where I need to be in the game at times so I need the hint, useful map and skip but not if I have to constantly pay for them. Please release them as purchase to play. I’m a long time fan and hate to give a bad review when I know the game probably rocks!

Not 1-3 but still good

First off I love the F2P. I played all four and it Didn’t cost me a nickel and the play was so smooth with no annoying pop ups. Just spend time in the beginning with ads to build up hints to like 20 or so then I’m off. No big deal. Games free, helps developers, win win. I don’t get all the complaining from some folks. Why pay $28 or so for 4 games when you can pay $0. You shouldn’t need that many hints at this level of game. Take your time and figure stuff out.

Anyway:
The first three were next level. Find clues at one location and transport to a totally different location. You have to take notes and really use your brain. The first three are probably the best escape games I’ve played. Developers did an amazing job. This 4th one, although just as smooth, wasn’t quite as fun for me. Your at one location and when your done you never return there. No taking hints, clues or items to transport to other locations to use them. I really enjoyed that. Also this one almost pointed you to where your next step was. Not a big fan there. And lastly some of the rooms were just crossing off search items that you find. Word search style. Boo on that. Again I’m just comparing to the first 3 NY Mysteries. So that’s a tall order. Will play more from this developer and hopefully more F2P. Great job y’all but probably shoulda stopped at the 3rd one. This one felt like it was shortened and rushed but that’s just my opinion. Off to more escapes from you guys.

Love every NY story!

These stories are well written, they keep my attention, and have varying levels of difficulty in their puzzles that I find so unique. They take time to finish and I feel are so worth playing! They challenge your memory to find where objects can be used and have a great system using the map to teleport you to where you need to be and do not give you things in sequence requiring you to really pay attention! Often when I get stuck, I find I just didn’t look hard enough in the scene and missed that the object that was right there in plain sight but I thought it was part of the background. The bonus chapters are so great to have, since I am always left wanting more gameplay at the end. And the side game of finding all of the hidden objects throughout the game that allows for bonus puzzles at the end is genius! I cannot believe this whole series is FREE!! I hope there are many more versions to come!

Developer Response ,

Hello!
