The Ghost Town Treasure

Fairly short game, completable in an afternoon give or take. Most puzzles are easy, some are finicky with exact placement, making certain puzzles appear harder than they are. Overall though, it's good considering its asking price and has puzzles between beginner and intermediate level. Nothing unfair or illogical.

Bumped rating up to 4 stars since can't give half star and would have preferred to give 3-1/2 (or even 3, maybe) stars. Liked some of this but not most. Like the ghost town setting but there was so much back and forth and some clues made little to no sense in relation to puzzles or problems/tasks to solve, while other solutions were super obvious, that I didn't find it particularly engaging. Almost decided to just delete it without finishing but played a little more and got interested enough, or maybe just progressed enough, to see it through to the end. Would have liked to have the option to be able to take photos of certain clues when I wanted--some clues were automatically added to the notebook but others that I'd have liked added were not.

Not too many Old West-themed PNC's out there so I'm being generous with the rating here, but very little in the way of narrative urgency. Puzzles are run-of-the-mill, though I was motivated to learn how an abacus really works (of course, I still didn't get its implementation here). This game could really use a hint system with all the traversing back and forth. The map doesn't isn't a huge help since it doesn't allow you to automatically jump to the spot clicked on. This developer seems to have good concepts for titles, but after playing most of them I just don't find them compelling.

There is a bug where entering the keyword into the typewriter doesn't work. There is no audible confirmation that it was solved (like a ding like the other puzzles) and the table does not open up and nothing else in the room changes. As much as I want to, I'm not able to finish this game ☹️ [UPDATE] Ok per the game dev, this has been fixed. Sesame worked! Thanks! Just updated my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars

I give a three star rating because I got into playing the game and to point of the clue of the typewriter I went to use the clue on the type writer that I got and the drawer that suppose open after you type in the pass code suppose to open the draw well it doesn’t on me and I even restarted the game over to see if I miss something that I should have done before this puzzle and still cannot get it to work. Great graphics and great puzzles but I cannot finish the game because I cannot passed this puzzle of the game to move onto the next puzzle of the game. Until they fix this glich I am stuck where I am in this game. Just be aware of this may happen to you. You will not be able to move forward in the game.

I purchased this game with high hopes of it being as entertaining and polished as the other Mediacity games, but was sorely disappointed. I found the clues, storyline, and visuals to be tedious and the music extremely irritating. The first thing I did was to turn off the music. I found myself accessing the Help feature in an effort to hurry the game to its finish and end the frustration. But when I got to the giant rock and discovered that I was unable to place the items called for near the base, I decided to just quit. I sure hope that future games will be an improvement on this one! Waste of time!

Mosey on past this tedious flop. The “puzzles” are nonsensically irritating as you try to figure out what the hell the developers were thinking; no rhyme or reason to any of it- just try to “figure it out”. You’ll know what I mean when you get to the briefcase “clue” which incidentally is where I was forced to stop; the numbers in the clue do not open the briefcase, not to mention the atrocious bug that prevents you from swiping the numbers properly. It’s a shame really because “point and click” games have inordinate potential... yet this one is strangled at the mercy of atrociously bad puzzles and subpar graphics.

There is no key to be found in the hotel. Cannot proceed any further without this key.

While some reviewers liked the graphics, I found them really strange. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that the backgrounds are inconsistent with the supposed setting. Just weird. Then navigation is clunky. Much better games out there

Pathetic hints, gave up
