Grim Tales: The Final Suspect - A Hidden Object Mystery

I love it

The keys are not registering my touch and so I can’t even type in a name or click on “ok” to get to the game

This is the third game from Big Fish that I have installed on my new phone that won’t play. I have installed other games from other developers with no problem. It’s sad because I have been playing this developer’s games for years. Not anymore.

When the game begins, there is a short cutscene with a “Skip” option that doesn’t work. The game then goes to a screen that allows the player to enter their name. I am unable to enter a name or even accept the generic user name. The game is frozen and won’t allow any action or input by the user. Since I see App Store comments & reviews a year old from people who have had the same problem, it seems as though you may want to choose another game. While troubleshooting, I ran across an article on the Big Fish website that said Apple would no longer support 32-bit games with iOS 11; as of the writing of this review, that article had been updated 2 days prior. Since going back to look at the dates and iOS versions caused me to lose the first draft of this review, I can’t verify this might be the issue. As I purchased this game over 6 years ago, I think this is probably a reasonable assumption. If this IS the issue, then neither Big Fish nor Apple should allow this game to be offered on the Apple App Store. If the game is no longer supported, I’m somewhat annoyed the Apple & Big Fish still have it on the Apple App Store.

Can’t get past the title screen.

There was another review exactly like this and it also happened to me today. I have an iPhone XR and it won’t let me put my name in, I can’t skip that part, I can’t do anything!! Ridiculous of Big Fish to do this!! This needs to be fixed now, you’ve known about it for quite a while and no update to fix the problem. Why 🤷🏼‍♀️

Puzzles were innovative, but wish they were harder. Elephant goes out of their way to add little flourishes here and there. The HOs were varied; list, silhouette, FROG, match the pairs, and combinatory. The story is long, then after you finish there’s a secret room where you play a few puzzles and HOs again for an achievement. You collect morphing objects in every scene, and 16 stained glass pieces that comprise 4 mosaics, and once you complete a mosaic, you can play a HO. So, lots to do. I usually don’t use the teleporting map, because I like to feel like I’m really there. But in the medieval section it was absolutely necessary, because you kept going back and forth between two rooms a lot. Real rating of 4.5 bumped up to 5.

This game says it’s compatible with an iPhone but doesn’t even work, I’ve tried playing this numerous times, it’s stuck on the “name” screen. I can’t skip, or put my name in. It’d be nice if this was updated so people could play it, especially since it’s on sale right now. You would think this would be updated since Big Fish is still selling it.

...not very challenging. Decent graphics and story but not much else. A lot of back and forth; HO scenes were scant and so were the mostly easy puzzles. There was only one puzzle that was remotely challenging but it was like a poor man's MCF puzzle Played most of the way through the trial but not interesting/challenging enough to finish or purchase.

Thank God there's a map with teleportation or you'd be going back and forth for forever! The map tells you where there is a move to make, and, believe me, you'll be very happy to use it. The puzzles are varied in style and difficulty. The story seems rather blah, but I never pay much attention the the story. The game is okay, but not great.
