Ratings and reviews

I want to like this game, but after coming back to it a few times, I just have to admit that I can't finish it. The puzzles often don't have logical solutions & sometimes (looking at you, paper airplane that must simultaneously be a drawing and a separate piece of paper) the bonus questions directly contradict the main puzzle. I like the storyline, the art style, and the gameplay, but the puzzles aren't stimulating like puzzle games should be; they're confusing and frustrating

Great start. This game was a a fun challenge 80% of the games had clear questions. The others were sneaky not thinking outside the box. Plus some questions were less than clear. I do think adding some normal logic or typical problem solving riddles or problems in there would be great. The only thing I didn't care for were the controls. I'm older and hated when I had to get around. I was always getting stuck. But I look forward to the next installment

Last time I tried playing this game, I was clipping through walls, unable to progress past the Symbols class in chapter 2. Now that I've upgraded my phone, I've tried again, and although the class doesn't take place I could move forward and solve the puzzles. Now I'm in Chapter 3, not too many major things but sometimes the newspaper puzzles require me to quit and clear my cache or I can't select certain squares. Now I can't get book twelve no matter which way I approach it.
