Ms. Holmes 5: Unsolved Case

Fab game, would love some scary horror games 😘

Haven’t finished the game as yet. A few glitches along the way so far. Using the arrows in the brain summary part, the arrows do not always want to stay where they are put. I checked the guide and in fact where I was putting the arrows to the clues were correct. Unfortunately the arrows often would not stay and I would spend ages trying to get them into place. Then all of a sudden they would stay and I could move on. The hint button doesn’t always work as well. A case of moving backwards and forwards to different scenes then the hint button would kick in. I like searching for the collections and puzzles. On checking three times to see if I was anywhere close to picking up a collection, and yes I was, but no amount of tapping around the area would release the item. I am playing on iPad Pro iOS 18.3. Pointless trying to take screenshots to forward, game moves on before that’s possible.

The storyline was very confusing, and I did not care for the annoying and repetitive deductions. Sometimes, the map failed to indicate ANY available actions. Also, some of the characters talked and there was no text on the screen, so I had no idea what was said. (I play on mute.) In addition, the lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface was appalling. It was especially frustrating to find objects in the HO scenes when Elephant no longer provides a zoom feature (all of our other developers do so, but Elephant is creating these games cheaply and it shows in their quality assurance). It was difficult to obtain certain collectibles as they were located behind the menu and strategy guide icons. The entire game was very short. However, the general gameplay was fast-paced and enjoyable, I completed all of the mini-games, and there was some innovation taken with inventory usage. I was able to follow the bonus chapter storyline with ease. Despite the quality assurance issues, I liked the gameplay. My true rating will be 3.5 stars, and would have been higher if the quality control had been up to par. Keep the crime stories coming! They are so much better than fantasy! Note to Elephant: the sort filter on the App Store does not work, so you are losing revenue because your games do not show up. One can only find your new releases on your hub. Truthfully, since I have never been given an unlock code for all the help I have given you, I will not be bothered to tell anyone in my population when you have a new release. Every other developer sends me codes to recognize the time and work I put in, as well as the huge amount of revenues I incur, but you have never so much as thanked me. So be grateful that I told you about the sort filter.

Good Detective story. I thought though it was a bit short. That’s why I gave it 4 stars. The graphics were good. The story was good. The bonus story line was better in my opinion. Of course we know there is a 6 coming since the ending was left with a question. Keep the games coming please. Love your games!

I really enjoyed this game! No issues at all. Smooth gameplay. Very short though!
