ISOLAND4: The Anchor of Memory

I especially loved this instalment of Isoland! And the nod to TS Eliot and rock music :) It was an easier format due to the navigation, although not having the scribble option meant I had to make notes on paper to solve the puzzles. The music btw was incredible!

Beautiful graphics, challenging puzzles, intriguing adventure and engaging music make this a continuation of all the wonderful content that Cottongame creates. There are even some popular song lyrics woven in. A masterfully done, clever game. Worth every cent, and then some.

Isoland for the win! My very favorite point and clicks, surpassing Rusty Lake. Wonderful puzzles, artwork, music, overall vibe. I think I got to the end, but online walkthroughs show a bit more to the game - a room behind ouroborous, for example.

Very engaging, all the puzzles made sense, and the aesthetics is as pleasing as ever.

Update: there are now some walkthroughs available and I was able to proceed. This is an amazing game with so much to explore and enjoy! I do wish it had a hint feature, but overall it’s the best game I’ve played in a very long time. absolutely love the old school Cotton games and I’m so glad they went back to their roots with this one! The game functions flawlessly and I can’t wait to play more of it. Unfortunately, there’s no help, hints, or skips if you get stuck. I can’t progress any further until I complete a picture crossword puzzle, but the puzzle makes zero sense and there aren’t any directions. I can’t find a walkthrough online, and there’s no way to contact the developer. I tried going to their website from both the link in the game and from the link in the AppStore. There is a website, but it’s not in English and most of the hyperlinks on the page seem to be broken. I would normally give 1 star after running into such issues and getting stuck with no way out. But Cotton Games is my all time favorite developer and I have really enjoyed the game so far. It’s a great game, I’m just not smart enough to figure out one of the puzzles and now I can no longer play. Someone please post a walkthrough, since the developers did not.

I’ve been playing this series from the beginning and it’s def the best one yet. And that is an achievement since the other installments are incredible. Layered puzzles, dynamic items, wonderful imagery, and super-imaginative. Everything is solvable without hints and makes total sense, but it’s not easy! My message to those who complain either that it’s too short (since you used hints) or that the hints are terrible should maybe just stick to Candy Crush. I love when a new Cotton game comes out. I just wish there were more!

This is so fun!
