8 of 10Not spectacular, but many hours of entertainment.
This is an awesome port and translation of an awesome classic text based adventure game- I loved them as a child and here is one for my ipad! Hurrah!! *However*, there is no walk through or technical support available ANYWHERE other than writing in a form. You have to figure it our yourself, which is great, except for things like, "how do I save my location in the game if I close the app?" This is rather frustrating! So, just know this going in.
I bought this game in December and I think it was glitchy. In March I bought it again. This time it was fixed. This game requires A LOT of going around and asking the same question again. This game was HARD! It's impossible to have a walkthrough for. And if you are stuck go back and ask everyone everything. You will get the answer. I recommend this game. It was quite fun but takes a lot of patience.
I was so excited when I saw this and all the pictures that u show are in English I give this zero stars n will greatly give it a million if u can update n English version Please IM ON MY KNEES BEGGING YOU , IF NOT I REALLY WANT A REFUND PLEASE,!
Beautiful visuals. Intriguing plot. Unexpected ending. All around great game. The only negative would be the amount of clicks needed to get something done. Please translate the rest of the games.
J.B. Harrold Murder Club was one of my favourite games for the TG-16, so finding this a few months back REALLY thrilled me. And it didn't disappoint. I'm just hoping Althi translates the others to English. As I know Murder Club has an English translation out there , that would be easy enough. Please Althi!!!
No matter what happened, I could NOT put this game down! It is deceptively deep, and unbelievably addictive. This is, without exception, the most fun I have ever had with an iPad game. Please translate them all!
Some of the translations were odd, but a good game otherwise. Having owned 'Murder Club' as a kid and having never beat it (lost the disks years ago), I really hope they translate it and the rest of the series to English soon. I would buy them all, if they were in English.
