XON Episode Four

The only negative thing I can say about this game is that it is the last in the series. All 4 chapters of XON are spectacular in their own way, and these guys are absolute masters at creating beautiful mega-puzzles that are laid out across vast landscapes. It’s such a rush to solve these incredible puzzles.

I got dizzy rotating around in circles. The instructions for moving around don’t make sense. Arrows? There are none. A total waste of money. 1 star is being generous.

I did this after finishing myst and riven, and it is as wonderful as they are. The main difference is that myst has a sort of storyline (more like a soap opera) running through the whole thing, whereas this leaves it to your imagination to figure out who you and why you're there. Also, and you may or may not like this, there are no handwritten journals to read in the con series. (I have a limited tolerance for having to remember who did what to whom and who needs what in order to gain world domination -- there's a reason I prefer game playing to socializing with humans) this game had a quirky little not in each chapter, except 4 - or else I never found that one. But otherwise you just figure it all out as you potter around. I adore the ambience and the lack of pressure. Once you solve a puzzle it says solved, switches stay switched. No need to race around in time limits. I really really wish you'd make more chapters. Oh and what the heck is that final sound effect? I made it replay the last scene again just to experience those last few seconds. Hilarious. Kudos to the creator. Best entertainment ever.

I loved the entire series. The only other game series that comes close are “The Room” and “The Eyes of Ara”. The only problems are that XON has set such a high bar that all other games are boring and lacking and that it is finished. The length of the game is great, the controls are fantastic as well as the graphics. Figuring out what to do is the perfect combination of hard and doable. Please, please come out with another episode.

Admittedly I didn’t play this for a spell because it was quite hard to figure out a certain area. Hint (it has a lot to do with what you see from where you stand) Anyway this is such a great game. I don’t know why it hasn’t been updated for newer devices though. Or why they haven’t made more of these games. If you like Myst and The Room, you will like this too. !!!!!! If you make more of these games you can have more of my 💵💰

On my iPad the game shows upside down when the home key is on the right. That’s the natural orientation for iPads with covers. Please fix! Can’t be that hard. Otherwise: love it!

I finally finished this episode & it was most definitely the best of the series! The graphics and puzzles were so well done, my only regret is that there are no more chapters to look forward to. THIS is the type of game I yearn for. My only regret is I hadn’t discovered these sooner. Bravo!!

Finally got around to playing this episode, the last in the four episode series. This is also an excellent standalone game. Everything is fantastic (visuals, sound design, gameplay mechanics and gameplay evolution) just as with all the previous games. Imo, this one is cooler. A few of the puzzles were difficult (obtuse) so I did go to the dev’s hint page to get help, but it didn’t spoil the fun at all. I’m replaying them all now and I recommend starting with Episode One and playing through the series in order. That lets you really appreciate all the dev’s effort, creativity and hard work. Note this: I played two episodes on an iPhone 6 and two episodes on an Android tablet; both played beautifully. Highly recommended!! January 2020 Edit: Replaying this episode now and it’s still great!

I have all four XON games, and love them all! The clues for this game are a little tougher than the other three. I anxiously am waiting for XON 5, but I suspect four may be the last one. :-(

Challenging, awesome game with stunning visuals and a logical progression of clues.
