Jekyll & Hyde: Detective Story

It’s not for me, but I can understand why people like it.

Except a few moments where you play a two second "mini game", the entire thing consists of reading. Which is all well and good if that's all you want to do, but it should be stated that this app succeeds as neither a visual novel nor a game. You move the character(s) around a map and look at things and talk to people, acquiring historical factoids along the way. That's literally it. The only thing that qualifies this as any sort of "game" is the fact that you have to interact with it in the most basic of ways to keep things moving along. (I.e. Talk to so-and-so, then go to such-and-such area to talk to different so-and-so... lather, rinse, repeat) So as a game, it fails. Ironically, this same structure is what makes it fail as a visual novel as well. Whereas in a visual novel you can just sit there and read/watch everything, the app's whole "adventure game exploration/conversation" dynamic draws everything out to such a slow crawl that by the time you're halfway through it you'll be wishing you could just read the actual book. Decent manga-ish art, and decent music, but not worth it. Makes me feel pretty crappy, considering I dropped 10 bucks to unlock the complete app when a copy of the book would have been both cheaper and more satisfying. Oh well.

The story is actually very nice But I for got that other story of people you have to pay for but there that option to watch A ad to gain silver coins the game story is vey peaceful with the background music Also I’m not a bot saying this I am up late enjoying it so far but my own ideas can change but for now I bid any one reading this a good night or day or even or sunrise

I love Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde so when I found out there was a app about the game I was so excited! Love it!

I love how it’s based really off the book! Most games like to go off track for the players, BUT the originality and how the whole game is set up is very nice!!

Where to start with what’s bad with this game? Seems like the “historical facts” were given more attention than the actual game. You can only play as far as ads will allot, so you can only play for about 10 minutes before you run out of coins to move on if you’re not willing to pay large amounts of money. I really don’t see why anyone would. It’s just popping around a map having pointless conversations. I understand they’re trying to tell a story, but this is not a good way to do it. The chapters are waaaay too short. There are no rewards for finishing chapters. You can’t play the additional cases unless you have gold, which is not rewarded or given enough of from watching ads, which interrupts the story. The hints tell you whom to speak to sometimes but not where you have to go on the map so sometimes there’s popping around aimlessly looking for clues. The characters that are standing around in each part of the map serve no purpose. They make unrelated remarks that don’t help a player or advance the story or game. Overall, this is not a good game. Better off reading Wikipedia about the time period for information…or better yet READ A BOOK.

this game was so amazing… where should i even begin? i love the smooth mechanics within the game that allow you to move around to areas and visit different buildings, but the storyline was what made this game so amazing. throughout the entire story, every scene and every chapter had me eager to play the next. this game really got me thinking as it is a mystery game that truly pulls the player into the perspectives of not only the main character, but also the other characters as well, providing a much deeper understanding and connection with the characters and their stories. the music and illustrations were also so beautifully created and integrated into this game. They fit the demeanor of the story so well and also enhanced the experience! thank you so much for creating this game—it truly provided a great experience and i will remember it for a very long time to come.

Bought the Everything pack No regrets I’m now crying but still No regrets

I love the games by these people!! I would love to see more of these done with classic books! I actually understood the same book better after comparing with this. I would definitely want one for Sherlock Holmes!!

Why do we only have to pay in gold for the side missions while we have a option to pay In Gold or silver for the main missions it doesn’t make sense
