Dark City: London

It gives you just enough free play to get sucked in and then it costs to play. With so many free games, why would I pay to play this game? Immediately uninstalled

I’m new to this series, and love it. Between the puzzles, graphics and story line, it’s one of the best, in my opinion. One question, is there a certain order I need to play this series or are they independent of each other. Thanks for the great game. I’m playing the London game now.

I like the game. Aesthetically very pleasing and great story. But there are too few puzzles ab the ones they had are super easy.

Hey this start out with witchcraft but it lightens up. Nice long game. It’s a large map, and things can get confusing and it gets a bit slow at times. I like the drawing, the story, and most of the puzzles. Very good!

Great game. It was very challenging. I’m what you call a novice player. I Like to enjoy the game. I always buy a game with a guide. So when I get stuck. I can reference it. This the second game l have played. I can honestly say I use it very little. Make think about before using. Thanks for making a great game. Chris

This was a joy to play. The playtime was sufficient as was that of the bonus game. I experienced no problems throughout. Very well designed and programmed. EXCEPTIONAL!

This was my first Dark City game that I played years ago. It was a wonderful introduction to the genre, and I went on to buy just about every game made by the developer. Being middle aged, I’m now playing the games again because I’ve completely forgotten all the puzzles and story. It’s a great game even on the second pass. If you haven’t played games from this developer before, don’t be scared off by the fact that you have to pay $5.99 to complete the game. They give you a significant taste before you have to pay, and you’ll definitely get hooked. The price is a bargain! Each game is hours and hours and hours of sheer addictive enjoyment! The games are soooooo well done!

Love developer Friendly Fox, so was surprised to discover a change in unlock payments. Usually for HOP adventure games a one time unlock fee unlocks the main game plus bonus chapter and includes unlimited hints plus strategy guide. With this game, the main game play is one fee. The bonus chapter is another. Hints cost more money for gems and the amount of gems needed to skip a puzzle increase as game play progresses. The more gems purchased, the higher the cost per gem. No strategy guide or player difficulty levels are included. Very disappointing. On the flip side, the story was good and the art was lovely. Had hoped to purchase all the games in this series, but if this is the standard pay format, it’s a hard no on this, Friendly Fox.

Ok, so the first thing I see it says to wear earphones for better playing. Well, I always wear my earphones when I’m playing games, but no sooner do I read this and the sound crashes. Jeez, I did everything. I restarted the game, I rebooted my phone, but I guess it’s a glitch in the game. The second thing is, there is no tutorial and no explanation on how the game works or what to do. I’m sure 5 hundred kids are going to say, “but I had no problem”, lol. Maybe it’s because I’m an old lady now, but I have no idea what to do. Before anyone tells me to go knit something, or bake a cake, I should tell you that I play almost every game there is available in the App Store. All the survival games, all the fighting and some war games. (Right now my favorite is blades and weird aquarium) So, I’m not ignorant to game playing, but this one I don’t know how to play. So maybe you could add an option to use a tutorial, for those of us that need one. I really want to play this game, so I guess I’ll just keep trying and hopefully the sound will get fixed and I can figure out how to play the game. Thank you to the devs, this game looks so interesting. Still giving you a 5 star!

I’m so glad I tried this! I’d given up on HO games, but I’m now hooked on this series. The stories are interesting, graphics are beautiful, and the games are varied. The bonus games are just as good as the title game, and quite long. Spoiler ahead: Most importantly (for my taste) there are no evil spirits, demons, etc., but flawed people doing the scaring. I love that the last part is a determination of justice on the player’s part. As a comparison, I used to be a BFG member, but dropped it when I realized that most new games were about evil beings (with a few cutesy games once in a while). As the games became more and more complex, requiring a guide to understand it, they were no longer fun. Thank you for putting the fun back in Hidden Object games. I have now played all the Dark City series and will begin playing your other games next.
