At the same time, a boy called Jack is raised in the woods by his outlawed mother. His apprenticeship as a stonemason paves his way to become a gifted master builder.

## The Pillars of the Earth Game Reviews in United States

### *---- "Do not purchase this app!!!!!!"
I paid the $5 because I love the book series and thought it would be great fun to lose myself in a game placed in the same world/era. However, the demo mode/controls for iOS are so abysmal it’s unusable. After the character moves about 3 steps the game locks up and the character can go nowhere. I have tried endlessly to get troubleshooting assistance or a refund but nothing addresses this issue nor have I been able to locate contact info for Daedalus. So at least if you’re using an iPhone or iPad, run the other way. Do not throw your money away on this app. It is nowhere near the quality of Ken Follett’s masterpiece.

### **--- "Great story, rough gameplay and bugs"
The story is really gripping, the characters are well-rounded and likeable, the way choices affect actions is really cool. Love it. Unfortunately I’ll have to read the actual book to find out what happens due to slow gameplay, and a real nasty bug. 

It’s never a nice experience when games force players to walk everywhere, especially games where you have to wander back and forth a lot. It’s not immersive to watch an avatar crawl across a screen, it’s painful. 

Similarly, not letting players read and skip dialogue—the voice acting is great, but sometimes the content isn’t exciting enough to wait around for, and other times you have to replay a scene because your progress wasn’t saved. Better to let the player be in control of the pace. 

The controls don’t work well on iPhoneX. The buttons are so close to the bottom of the screen that they trigger the phone’s app selection mode. It would just be a bit annoying, but it caused my game to fatally crash. Now I’d have to reinstall to play, and I just can’t bring myself to crawl around a story I’ve already seen.

### *---- "THIS IS NOT THE FULL GAME"
Don’t get me wrong, the 7 short chapters are beautiful and very entertaining. But there are supposed to be 2 additional books to this game, and they have not been released and it doesn’t look like they ever will be. So basically just as you start getting invested in the story, it just stops abruptly and leaves you very sad, disappointed, and unsatisfied. I’d give this game 5 stars if it was the whole thing. But there’s no point in spending your money just to play 1/3 of a game. I’m very unhappy.

### ***** "add language"
please add persian language
-- Mohsennn, 2020-02-10

### ***** "High production values"
Bought this great game to show my support for developers of full version high quality games on mobile, without in app purchases. Please continue to update and fix bugs, thank you developers !!
-- Chriss29, 2019-08-18

### **--- "Would be a great game if it didn’t freeze"
My game freezes after loading from either a save created my own (which I then stopped saving and depended on the games natural save which worked until the 6th chapter), or it freezes after loading it from the games save. So it’s virtually unplayable. I’m playing it on my iPad 5th gen mini. I can’t imagine playing this on an iPhone, it would be too small
-- =awesome, 2019-06-25

### ***** "Beautiful"
This is a beautiful game with a beautiful soul. Great point and click adventure game with a great story. It plays like the basic find and use items to solve puzzles in the areas to progress the stories, but also introduces another mechanic where you can use/interact ideas and or clues like you would an item on people or on your surroundings. This is a great idea that I believe the genre will keep around. Would highly recommend for fans of this type of game.
-- TrisolarisRex, 2019-06-08

### ***** "Worth the time"
So looking forward to the next installment. Great job working out the bugs. Daedalic puts soooo much into their “games”, it’s more like interacting with a movie than playing a game. Thank you!
-- Fat Salmon Creative, 2019-01-18

### ***** "Sets a very high standard in the gaming world!"
This is an amazing game.  It felt like I was in the story, making history. I had NO glitches whatsoever. Very easy controls.  I played on iPad Pro had lots of room on device.  The controls are simple enough for a small child to use.  I look forward to the next chapters and may play it again as it was that good. It would be the first game that I ever replayed a game in 30 some years. I recommend it to those who enjoy a good adventure game and a good story plus amazing sound and art work. Be prepared to not want to stop though and it’s not a two hour game.  Impressive in every way!  Can’t imagine how it’s not a 5 star rating or higher! I will watch for more games by this developer. My review although I sent it never viewed in reviews I am resending it before contacting the store. What’s up with that?  I’ve never had this problem before.  Waiting for the next chapters!
-- Beebuzzkill, 2018-09-15

### *---- "Pillars of the Earth"
The game frequently freezes. I turn off my iPhone & turn it back on & this helps usually.
