Dark City: London

This was a joy to play. The playtime was sufficient as was that of the bonus game. I experienced no problems throughout. Very well designed and programmed. EXCEPTIONAL!

This was my first Dark City game that I played years ago. It was a wonderful introduction to the genre, and I went on to buy just about every game made by the developer. Being middle aged, I’m now playing the games again because I’ve completely forgotten all the puzzles and story. It’s a great game even on the second pass. If you haven’t played games from this developer before, don’t be scared off by the fact that you have to pay $5.99 to complete the game. They give you a significant taste before you have to pay, and you’ll definitely get hooked. The price is a bargain! Each game is hours and hours and hours of sheer addictive enjoyment! The games are soooooo well done!

Love developer Friendly Fox, so was surprised to discover a change in unlock payments. Usually for HOP adventure games a one time unlock fee unlocks the main game plus bonus chapter and includes unlimited hints plus strategy guide. With this game, the main game play is one fee. The bonus chapter is another. Hints cost more money for gems and the amount of gems needed to skip a puzzle increase as game play progresses. The more gems purchased, the higher the cost per gem. No strategy guide or player difficulty levels are included. Very disappointing. On the flip side, the story was good and the art was lovely. Had hoped to purchase all the games in this series, but if this is the standard pay format, it’s a hard no on this, Friendly Fox.

Ok, so the first thing I see it says to wear earphones for better playing. Well, I always wear my earphones when I’m playing games, but no sooner do I read this and the sound crashes. Jeez, I did everything. I restarted the game, I rebooted my phone, but I guess it’s a glitch in the game. The second thing is, there is no tutorial and no explanation on how the game works or what to do. I’m sure 5 hundred kids are going to say, “but I had no problem”, lol. Maybe it’s because I’m an old lady now, but I have no idea what to do. Before anyone tells me to go knit something, or bake a cake, I should tell you that I play almost every game there is available in the App Store. All the survival games, all the fighting and some war games. (Right now my favorite is blades and weird aquarium) So, I’m not ignorant to game playing, but this one I don’t know how to play. So maybe you could add an option to use a tutorial, for those of us that need one. I really want to play this game, so I guess I’ll just keep trying and hopefully the sound will get fixed and I can figure out how to play the game. Thank you to the devs, this game looks so interesting. Still giving you a 5 star!

I’m so glad I tried this! I’d given up on HO games, but I’m now hooked on this series. The stories are interesting, graphics are beautiful, and the games are varied. The bonus games are just as good as the title game, and quite long. Spoiler ahead: Most importantly (for my taste) there are no evil spirits, demons, etc., but flawed people doing the scaring. I love that the last part is a determination of justice on the player’s part. As a comparison, I used to be a BFG member, but dropped it when I realized that most new games were about evil beings (with a few cutesy games once in a while). As the games became more and more complex, requiring a guide to understand it, they were no longer fun. Thank you for putting the fun back in Hidden Object games. I have now played all the Dark City series and will begin playing your other games next.

I absolutely loved this game and then ugh I have to pay to continue. Do I have to pay every time it is time for a new level. Na I can’t do that you need to get with the times and get advertising and have adds in your game it would do well then. I would download again but not until then.

Interesting game.

This game has great graphics and fantastic music. I’m really enjoying it!

I really do like to give reviews, I am too fussy and many games just don’t meet their hype. BUT, this game is the exception! I really enjoyed playing it! The hints were quick, and graphic and interactions awesome! The storyline was very creative so it kept me engaged. The bonus cracked me up and made me laugh. My only regret was my impatience to get through some of the challenging puzzles. I was so immersed in the storyline that my curiosity got the better of me. I highly highly recommend this game it’s long with so many interesting features. Well well worth what you pay and then some. To the crew who created this kudos, to engage me it has to be great and it delivered in every Way! Buy it I promise you will love it! I would challenge any review that critiques this as I found it well worth playing. Sometimes we get that comes along and is great those are the ones you really need to try.

I love it
