A Short Tale

This game was a real surprise to me. I expected it to be a low quality short puzzle that I’d get through in 30 minutes. I found it very, very well designed and much more difficult that I anticipated. It took me 2 days and I still cannot figure it out 😅 Well done Glitch. Keep them coming.

The trick of the train of thought really upset me. It was unfair and illogical. I like to finish games on my own. I spent two hours trying to figure this trick out. When I finally gave up and saw the walk through, I realized that even if I spent 50 more hours I would've never figured it out. How am I to know that a bunch of arrows and shapes are supposed to be used as letters??!! I spent about 12 hours to solve everything else up to this point on my own and I was okay with that because everything made sense. But this train of thought made me very angry!!

Camera icon covers the photo album icon. You can work around the issue by going into the item menu and accessing the photo album that way.

Have tried this on my iPhone as well as my iPad. The camera placement covers the photo album, so you can’t access the photo album. It just takes another picture (which you can’t see). I would need to use two devices to play. Reached out to the company and have heard nothing back. It looks like it could be fun, but very frustrating.

My son and I enjoyed solving this game together. We would work on it some and then take a break to mull over some of the puzzles. A good variety of puzzle types to keep us both entertained.

This game was so much fun. I’ve never played a game in this genre before where the entire setting is available to you right away (minus some small areas you need to gain access to). In the beginning it’s a challenge, but by the end I knew where everything was like the back of my hand. There are some really out of the box challenges and puzzles here - ones that really make you think, which is no surprise from Glitch. There were a few places I got stuck and had to look up a walkthrough, but each time it was because I had overlooked a clue which isn’t surprising in this non-linear, single-room setting. I kept photos of everything I hadn’t solved yet, so when I got stumped I could swipe through instead of having to check the entire room out again. Overall this is a fabulous little game - I would absolutely love to do another one like this!

Love this game with its rich environment, plethora of puzzles and clever clues, and charming story line. Fun!

This game was amazing. I loved every bit of it, from the storyline to the puzzles to the graphics to the funny little characters. Never disappointed with Glitch games. Thank you!

This is a fantastic game. I have played all of them at the time of this review (this was the last one I played) and I am greatly enjoying it (not finished yet). I like that many of the puzzles were multi-faceted. A lot of this type of game is basically fine one thing and then use it. Glitch games have a great knack of making you chain clues together to work out a solution. My only “complaint” is that the game, quite often, would lock up. The navigation button(s) would not display and nothing reacted to tapping. This may be due to the fact that I tend to click quickly when I know where I am trying to go. This is why I am reviewing before completing the game. But, despite the annoyance of having to exit force the game to quit and restarting it still is a great game, and the camera feature is invaluable and much better than what other games do by automatically filling in a notebook. I prefer to figure out what is important rather than being told, or even worse not having a way to record the important bits. In many other games I am forced take pictures of the screen (iPad) with my phone.

Fun game but some of the puzzles make zero sense. The hint button is not working either. This is a very old game as I understand. Other Glitch games are much better written games than this one. Note: this game does not use microphone despite you see voice command input in the game.
