Mansions of Madness

We played for the first time today. Enjoyed it but the app resolution is not made for iPhone 14 pro. Never mind I thought - I’ll just download it for my mac. But apparently you can’t get this relatively simple app for any mac without an M1 chip. That seems ridiculous. Please fix the iPhone res at least.

Lost Temple of Yig is not functioning. There are small writings all over the screen saying “Start State” and “Do Nothing”. Doors do not work. When you click one the just flashes red and black underneath the Hall Chambers. Restarting does not help. How can this pass quality check before releasing an update? Annoying to have set up the game and not being able to play...

Maybe

Seriously... why haven’t you gone through the efford of paying someone to read the dialogues for the app? It would increase the atmosphere 100 times of we had a good voice actor reading all the flavor text. It just feels cheap, lazy or greedy that you haven’t done this already...

This app needs an ipad pro aspect ratio fix, the ipad pro 11” was released months ago, and this app is relevant, furthermore its based on unity, so the fix is simple. Shame on you...

This is a great game and I love most everything about it. HOWEVER, of the 22 scenarios available to play, only 2 of them are a 2 difficulty level, and one of them requires an expansion purchase.

Range is defined with "range" everywhere. Such a bad game. Clearly no testing was done with people who didn’t know the game yet. The first scenario we get to the portal and the puzzle makes no sense and we die. Nothing in the whole house gives a clue what the puzzle means. I’m throwing this game away rather than selling so nobody else has to suffer through it.

The game $100, with four scenarios. This would be fine, except that it seems to have three functional scenarios. Escape from Innsmouth is flat out broken. You get one chance to interact with Agent Craven. Then he locks the door and you can’t check again once you have more information. This makes the scenario unwinnable. The game doesn‘t bother telling you this, but you’ve lost. If you do convince him he vanishes with barely any hint where he went. You can find him again, and present the evidence. But you then have to get back to him to let him know the boat has arrived, with nary any hint you need to until you get to the boat without him. So you pay $100 for three functional scenarios and also Escape from Innsmouth.

This is the app companion for the board game and is done very very well. A very Immersive game that requires very little amount of rules to learn and keep up with. This app will be your guide and will allow that one person who always get the job to “manage” the game to finally take a break and enjoy the game like the rest of the group does. I am the games manager for my group. I love this game. There is a good amount of expansions you can get to enhance the re-play. If you get the expansions you will play approx. 20+ games before you ever have to re-play a scenario. And when you do, the scenario will be played and managed differently by the app.

One issue was that the game glitched. It wouldn’t let us confirm the investigator phase. Well in matter of fact it wouldn’t let us confirm anything. Please fix this issue because we ended up not being able to save and just ended up losing all the progress we made.
