jammityjammer,
Wonderful and compelling but…
I wish I’d known from the jump that this game would be such a money-guzzler. The storylines are interesting and the graphics are very good, but it takes a ridiculous amount of energy to do something minor, like handing an object to another character. Because every single thing uses up energy, you run out extremely quickly. The rate at which the energy is refilled is like molasses. And if you bite the bullet and pay the $2.99+ to actually be able to play the game, then it’s money wasted because it doesn’t even get you 5 minutes of game play. I’ve spent more money than I ever wanted to because I got so into the plots and twists that I had a hard time putting the game away. I’m really frustrated both with myself and the design of the game. My advice: download this game if you have unlimited funds (because you will blow through it like wildfire) or you have the patience and self-restraint of a saint. Otherwise, unfortunately, I don’t recommend this game. I hate to even say that because the game is really really fun and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into the plot and characters and graphics. But ultimately, it’s too expensive. If tasks cost less energy and the energy was refilled faster than 24+ hours, I would recommend this game to everyone I meet! I just don’t have the impulse control to play a game like this.
Loucrecia,
I love this game BUT...
This is such a well developed game. I have loved every aspect of it so far, BUT there’s one big drawback. The game itself is free, but everything you do uses energy, & some things take a lot of energy, such as simply watching the comic storyline so you know what’s going on. I don’t think there’s even a way to skip it if you wanted.
So, they don’t explain all this when you start playing, & they give you some free energy to keep you going long enough to really get into it. Then you have to stop because you run out of energy, & you have to either pay (way too much for what you’d get) to instantly have more energy & keep playing, or you have to wait over 26 hours to totally rebuild your energy! You CAN play again in less than 26 hours, but that’s how long it takes to totally restore your energy. You can wait several hours & still not have enough to do certain things, or only have enough to play for a few minutes, literally.
This seems to be such a well made game that I would actually buy it if they had a version that cost a few dollars & I didn’t have to run out of energy so quickly. Or if it didn’t take so long to rebuild the energy & it didn’t deplete so rapidly I would love it. But there is no way I’m paying $2.99 for just a few minutes of play!!! I wish the developers would reconsider ways to improve this one aspect of the game.

Best and Worst Game on The App Store
This game is by far one of the best and worse crime mystery/hidden object games available on the App Store. Visually it is amazing but the worst and most disappointing part is the amount of energy needed for every little thing as well as how long it takes to regenerate. I don’t believe it should cost so much for more energy when it’s utilized so quickly as well as the ridiculous and minimal energy you’re given after so long of waiting. Then when you’re in the middle of a hidden object scene and run out of energy, you have to spend all your regenerated energy again to do the same things you’ve already started before. It does not pick up exactly where you left off. For example, If you are in a hidden object scene and have already done a few tasks and found items but run out of energy, none of what you found before that is crossed out, stays crossed out so you have to waste the same regenerated energy to even try to get passed what you have already done. Why should it take 30 energy to watch a scene or open a door? There has to be a way to get free energy elsewhere. You look so long and hard for collectibles and when you finally find one you only receive 5 energy which does no good for the amount needed to do anything at all. This would be the perfect game if it offered free energy or daily spins or any incentives for how much energy it takes for tasks. Other than that, great visuals and presentation!
Hinita Hyuga,
It’s interesting,fun comes with a lot of twists,but it’s rlly time consuming!
I’ve had this game for over 2 years now and I still haven’t finished all of them! It has nice graphics and fun gameplay and I play it at night and in the morning! I would recommend this to anyone with patience or someone who is willing to spend money on this game. I would also like to recommend this to anyone with a strong stomach and basically anyone who got through the whole squid game without being intrigued or disgusted. What I think should change and what all of think should is The Who long energy takes to regain and how much is used during the gameplay. What I mean is that when you do a hunt or when you are looking for something in the game it could take 100+ to get all the items out of the way. Then it would cost a lot of money or a lot of patience to even play again. I know they have to make money and all since it they have to pay everyone but they should they should think more about the gamers then their money. They keep saying they will change it but it still takes forever it still costs a lot of energy and it takes a ad or two to get so more energy. Another pro is that it doesn’t have a bunch of ads. That was my take on Murder in the Alps thank you and hope this helps before you download.
gutherchacha,
Not a mystery game!
This is billed as a mystery game, and it kind of is, but 80% of the time that I spent playing it you are actually just “finding objects” in a messy room, like ispy. There are occasionally puzzles too, it’s not primarily an action/conversation based interactive game, which it seems like it is from the ads etc. It has little snippets of that in between these other things. For example, in the morning my character woke up, and then had to search for fifteen items before finding her hat, and I couldn’t leave the room without it. Then someone gets murdered and first you have to go to the kitchen and find a knife (again you’re really finding 10-15 items each time you look for something so unless you use the hints it takes forever, and then they limit your hints if you ask for too many) then you go back and they say, go back and find a magnifying glass, then you do that, then go backAnd find some baking soda, three items that could have been found at once, or even just find the one item instead of fifteen!…no interaction with characters, all just finding these objects which you don’t even need, all you actually need is the one object. Not for someone who wants to actually interact with a story. Also, the complaints about energy usage stand. I would way rather just watch an ad, or even just pay for a game, but you can’t do that, you pay over and over in little bits, or you wait 24 hours and then your energy gets used up almost immediately. Very stupid design.
timagine,
Beautiful, and benefits outweigh the cost.
First of all, the stunning art style must be addressed. It is probably one of the games with the nicest graphics. The animation, though slight, still helps bring the whole thing to life. The graphics are super realistic and have an almost surreal quality. Then, there’s the interspersed comic-like scenes, which are also beautifully drawn. I would highly recommend it just to experience the art.
Now, I mainly wrote this review to address the concerns people have about this app: namely, people complain about the energy, and that it takes too long and the developers want money. First, although the energy runs out fast, the system’s improved and you can simply watch a video to gain 20 energy. Doing this repetitively makes it very easy to get though parts of the game quickly. Secondly, there’s nothing wrong with watching those ads; it’s a relatively short amount of time for the fun payoff, and the developers do need money. There’s nothing wrong with that, especially since the payoff is good storylines and stunning visuals. That takes a lot of equipment and, more importantly, talented artists who need to be paid. Labor is expensive, and that’s fair. The developers are far from being greedy about it. Ads are a small price to pay to experience this lovely game quicker.

parkerac21,
A bit of a shame.
I have been playing this game for over a week and haven’t been able to get through the first chapter. The story is excellent, as is the art and storytelling. The puzzles aren’t that difficult. The issue of why it’s taking me so long is the energy restoration.
To get full energy, you have to wait 26 hours, which will end up going fast as each puzzle will take you at best 60 energy (12 items), but what makes it interesting is each search has a hidden puzzle or two that will take 5 or 10 energy to solve. If you add that to 10 energy to hand over the clues, 20 energy to watch a comic scene, 10 more to pick up story items, and 10 more if you need a hint, you are getting less than half an hour of gameplay every 26 hours, but which point you are reaching for the diary just to see where you need to go. I know this because I’m a bit of an achievement hunter by nature and after playing for 9 days, my clock for solving the case in 3 hours hasn’t even hit the two.
It makes it very clear that the company is not interested in the experience of people not willing to drop some major money for their energy boosts, and that makes me wonder why they made it free in the first place. With the quality of the product, I would have been happy to shell out a competitive price to play through the story without the energy system.

Awesome Gameplay w/o Energy to Even Play
This game has great character storylines and amazing graphics, but I’ve had the game for over a week and have hardly been able to actually play due to how quickly your energy points are used and how expensive it is to replace them. You can only access points at no charge by subscribing to the game’s emails or linking your Facebook account. I don’t have a Facebook account, so I only received 50 free energy points. This is hardly enough to get you through a single scene. If your energy runs out in the middle of a puzzle, be prepared to start the puzzle over from the beginning once your energy is restored. I understand apps need to make money. I’ve spent money on several games, but always knew my spend was justified by the value received. I was able to get about 250 energy points for .99 during a promotion. It took less than 5-10 minutes to use that energy. It doesn’t make sense that each item you uncover on a hidden game requires multiple energy points. If the energy point system was more reasonable, if there were more ways to earn free energy points without the 24-28 hour wait, or if energy points were less expensive, I’d easily give this game a 5 star rating. Games like this should be either priced on the front end (purchase app) or allow more opportunities for users to accumulate points at no charge as well as making points more valuable.
MegaHarryPotterFan,
EIGHT. FREAKING. MINUTES.
Okay, let’s get one thing straight. I like this game. I like the story. I like the gameplay. It’s clear someone put a lot of thought into this game. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that one energy piece takes a whopping EIGHT WHOLE MINUTES to load. Eight minutes! I mean, why? It took me forever to just get past the very first chapter of the game because every time I ran out of energy, I had to wait eight minutes just for one more energy piece. And if there are 200 energies total then 200 x 8 is 1600. So that means it take 1600 minutes for every piece of energy to reload. That’s the equivalent of almost 26 hours! So it takes a whole day just to reload every piece of energy. That’s just— absurd! One thing is for sure, unless you’ve got the patience of a hibernating bear, do not buy this game. Honestly, this game has probably earned the lowest review I have ever written. All because it takes forever to load energy. And, honestly, it wouldn’t be as bad if every little task didn’t take such an enormous amount of energy. I mean, even just handing something to another character takes a ton of it! Why? If you’re gonna make the energy take so long to load, at least make it last longer! I already mentioned that it would take 26+ hours to load a full tank of energy, but all that energy never lasts me more than I five minutes.
Gabby9887,
We all agree
This game is so fun but the character periodically needs energy and it throws off everything. I just walked in and saw the corpse but the moment is ruined because I need energy, and can’t progress until I have some. Just let us buy the game and not have to deal with the energy restrictions. Having to wait is really a bummer, but oddly it doesn’t matter if you don’t play for a day or a month, when you get back you will have earned the same amount of energy, which is lame.
Also, are just going to sit here and act like home girl doesn’t have the stickiest fingers we’ve ever seen? She’s asked to find a knife, but she’s actually taking your curry. Maybe if she ate some she’d have enough energy. The puzzles that make sense (like fixing the phone), those are good ones; but I can only play so many games of ISpy: robber addition. (I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t enjoy playing solitaire, I just don’t know what the point of it was).
That all being said, these characters are super fun. There’s one death from the first game I’m still upset about and I’m several games later, you start to care about these characters! (The animation is slowly declining in quality though, the first chapter gave each character much more detail, which I really appreciated. (Spoiler: Anna and Walter would have made a way better couple than Anna and Luigi, just gonna say that. But if you kill Luigi, imma be mad. )
