Survival RPG 4: Haunted Manor

This is a great game

It’s really good for wasting time

Any game with pop ads gets 1 star.

It was all going well until I got to the rats in the basement quest. The game glitched when I killed rat #14 and didn’t give me credit for it, and since the rat didn’t respawn, I now am faced with restarting the game and hoping for a better outcome next time since I can’t finish the quest. Don’t know if I have the heart to do it :(

Worthwhile time-waster. Lots of fun and not insanely difficult. Looking forward to the next one!

Lots of fun and I really like the pace. There’s plenty to do, it’s straightforward to play, and new elements are steadily revealed to keep me interested. The puzzles or challenges are hard enough, but I never feel frustrated. I hope there are more in this series!

You can tell a lot of work was put into this. The only thing I hate about it is the ads. You might be thinking to yourself “well just put it on airplane mode” that doesn’t work. There are internal ads built into the game that pop up every time you change scene. Like, go to a new area or go to bed or go in a cave or go in a house or etc etc which is probably about every 30 seconds or so. With the ads usually being 10-30 seconds long depending on if it’s an internal ad or an internet one. So you spend maybe half the time playing as you do watching ads. Not a good experience. Because of this business model, I won’t be playing any more games by this developer. A better method needs to be developed. Maybe a “free trial” where halfway through the game at Chapter 4 you begin to get ads. That’s long enough into the game where you can decide whether or not you like the game enough to want to spend money on it to remove ads. Oh but also, if you pay to remove ads, it only removes the pop up ones. You still have to watch an ad if you want a hint if you’re stuck on one of the quests. This game has a wiki page but it’s entirely unhelpful when it comes to quests. So you’re on your own. You can also use diamonds but as I’m sure you can guess, they’re a rare in game currency that you have to pay to get more of if you run out of all the free diamonds, which are rare. Also, you have a book that details your quests, but wouldn’t you guess, they’re purposefully vague so you have to pay, or watch an ad, or do both if you already paid for no ads, to look at the hint to remember what you were doing and what your last quest was. Mind you, it takes DAYS to complete this game. So it’s very possible if you put the game down for a few hours or a day you might forget what you were doing or where you left off. Sometimes I take on multiple quests at a time and some are so vague, that I can’t even tell which quest is which. If that tells you anything. Overall, the tactics of this developer are money hungry and predatory. All games deserve compensation, but do it in a way that is dignified and earned, not desperate, forceful and predatory. I have no problems giving my money to developers who I feel earned it. Even games that had no ads to begin with, I’ll pay for something just to support. But THIS? No. Disgusting. Having to watch ads every 30 seconds when there’s a scene change? On top of that watching ads for a hint when I forget something? Even if I PAID for no ads? No thank y

This one picks up where lost in time left off. Fun new world to explore.

Five star

It would seem that they have all the bugs squashed! Wonderful game!
