Mystic Escape: Prisoner Diary

I do enjoy this game. Please fix the frozen problem at level 5. I am in iPad Pro with iPadOS 16.5.1(c). Please please, I want to finish this. It’s a great game!

Games freezes on level 5 as noted in another review. Otherwise a great game

Really enjoyed this game for the first 4 chapters then the game will not go passed the that. I took all the Apple support steps even before they emailed with the basic instructions. Then I tried to contact the developer for support and it just takes you to a blog post where there is no information on the game and you can’t leave a message.

It does freeze up on level five, I love the game but I had to delete it because of this

I bought the game, and my screen is freezing on level 5. Is anyone else having this issue? Please help! I would like to finish this great game - the origami puzzles are so original and challenging.

Really wanted to love this game as it is similar to the Faraway games by a different developer, and I did like it...until it would not allow me to play Level Five. All other levels worked great, the puzzles were straightforward and easy to solve. (While I like origami after being stationed in Japan for 4 1/2 years, I prefer not to attempt it in a game. Thank you for the skip option!) I don't mind purchasing these games as developers need to make a living, too, but I also want finish the game I bought. All I get with Level Five are three dots, and a partial view of what looks like stairs going down into a lower room. Problem is this is all I get since the game freezes up every time. Not even the back, hint, and menu buttons work. I have to exit the game without closing it. (BTW...My iPad Air Gen 3 is updated with iOS 15.6, and I noticed this game had a recent update two months ago.) As far as troubleshooting: I have soft and hard rebooted my iPad, offloaded the game (keeps the data and personal info) and reloaded it, and completely uninstalled and reinstalled (twice). One time without and one time hard rebooting after the uninstalled. Nothing worked...Level Five is only three dots and a glimpse of stairs without any moving beyond the entry point. Please advise as to a solution or tell Apple to refund my $. As stated, I don't mind paying money...even more than the small fee I did for this game...but I want a game that works! If you give me a workable solution, I plan to update my review and rating.

Enjoying the game for the most part. Some of the puzzles are a little obtuse but the solutions are easily accessed if you ware stuck, and they update with you so you don’t have to scan through a whole level to find your part. Being able to skip the origami puzzles was good too because some of those were SUPER hard. However it seems that the puzzle in the middle of room 10 is broken. The one where you’re rotating the center cylinders to get the eye of the dragon. The solution walkthrough video from the hint button gives zero help on where to touch and slide on the screen to get the cylinders to work right. Seems like there’s not any consistency as to how they turn. There are definitely points that work but to get that specific interaction to slide the red differently than the yellow is so inconsistent. I could slide it one way but not back. Plus it being so low to the bottom of the screen I kept flipping out of the app which added to the frustration. I gave up after about a half hour of trying to pass this puzzle to no avail. Definitely needs a better more obvious interface.

Update 5/27: I’m beyond frustrated with this game. After buying all of the levels, I’m permanently stuck on level 6 and will not be able to go any further. This level is beyond ridiculous with the amount of moves you have to correctly make to get all of the lasers & targets lit up. I watched the hint video many times and can’t follow it because all of the lasers look the exact same, as does most of the terrain. Plus all of the moving and spinning (both in the actual game and in the videos) gives me severe motion sickness. The YouTube walkthrough for this level is literally 20 min of constant moving and spinning from one laser to the next. If you’re going to make the levels so ridiculously hard, then you need to have an option to skip levels and move on to the next one. I’ll be requesting a refund since I’m unable to play the levels I purchased. Update 4/20: after some updates from the developer, I gave the game another shot and was able to get past the puzzle I was previously stuck on. I’m on level 4 and really enjoying the game this time around. It’s similar to the Faraway series, but a bit more challenging. I don’t care for all the origami puzzles, but like the fact that you can skip them. I plan to purchase all the levels (though I have no idea how many you get with the purchase). It was good until I got to the puzzle with 20 squares and you have to turn them all from red to brown, tapping a square changes the ones adjacent to it. I can’t make it happen, the hint is zero help because it moves so fast I can’t see where to tap, and there’s no option to skip it. It’s become too frustrating and no longer fun because I’m stuck. Luckily I got stuck before buying the whole game, so I didn’t waste any money.

Jerky, jittery, hard to control movements in the game. It’s like driving a car with a steering wheel so loose that every twitch could lead to a ten-car pileup. I’m

I love this game so much, but I’m stuck on Level 8 with the box with the 9 sliding things. The hint doesn’t make any sense to me.
