Strange Investigations 1: F2P

Absolutely loved the game at first. The story and all was great but then you have to wait for energy or pay. Screw that. I will not play a game I have to wait to play. It should be a one set affordable price to play the whole game or not. Deleted and won’t try another. 😞

The game was already a little annoying because of the energy requirement thing. Whatever that is. It just seems like a way to get money and I don’t care for that. But the game itself was decent but then in the middle of a scene, my item started to just disappear so I couldn’t use them on anything and when I went out of the game and came back in the whole game started over without me doing it. Definitely going to get my money back.

Paid for this game in 2021. Now the format has changed and it asks me to pay to play for “energy.” So much for the “Pay once, play forever“ promise. Developer is too lazy to just make new games, just trying to remonetize old ones. Insult to injury? Support button doesn’t work - clicks nowhere - and game crashes back to beginning. So long Elephant …..

The games are fun, but the energy is so annoying, especially when it takes an entire day to refill. I refuse to spend money on it.

After the game reset twice back to the beginning, I just deleted it. I couldn’t get past the movie theater

I loved it because it has a variety of puzzles and great graphics to go along with the storyline. Looking forward to playing the next game.

I purchased this game eight months ago and I've played it several times. When I downloaded it again today it's asking me to pay to recharge the game at different points. Plus there's no strategy guide anymore like before. I'd like to know what happened to the buy it now play it forever promise. Absolutely nothing about this is right. What is up with you elephant games?. This stinks!

I’ve played a lot of games similar to yours, but the best part was when I ran out of energy and couldn’t play again until it filled up. It’s so difficult for me to walk away from playing, I’m enjoying it so much. I’ll be downloading it again in the future. Thanks!

You have to use energy to complete every task. Even with the 200 energy they give you as a gift, you’ll be out in less than 30 minutes and will have to buy more or quit until it replenishes. This is not what I consider f2p and it’s not the model other f2p adventure games follow.

This game is terrible, not once do they tell you that everything cost energy until you get a surprise notification.
