The Office Quest Hack 5.0 + Redeem Codes

I’ve been looking for a point and click adventure puzzle game and this one fits the bill! The puzzles are clever and require a little thinking, but aren’t too difficult that it’s frustrating. The graphics are fun and simple but thoughtful, the world is interesting, and gameplay is smooth. It reminds me of a stripped down version of the Rusty Lake games, just a little less intricate. I’m really enjoying it.

However, dear developers, you need to add a feature to save your progress! It’s kind of an expensive game, the second and third chapter is $2.99 each, and I wish there was a bundle option because I would have definitely bought it. Spending $5.99 on the entire game is giving me pause, so I’ve stopped at the end of the second chapter. The chapters are good and meaty, a comfortable length, but a little long if you’re intended to play each one through in one sitting. Being unable to save progress mid-chapter, and a lack of option to pay for the entire game in one purchase is what brought my rating down to 3 stars, which is unfortunate because I really do love this game!

I paid $2.99 for the short second chapter back when it released. I didn’t know if we’d ever see more of the game, but they finally added a third chapter. Only problem is, I had to replay the second chapter again. And they added an annoying memory game to it, where you’re blindly tapping on TV screens to see what’s on them, hoping you’ll find enough matches before you run out of the six attempts. It’s completely random each time so you can’t learn from previous failed attempts. And I can’t access chapter 3 until I pass this. This game started off interesting but it’s clear these developers don’t really know what they’re doing. I’m inclined to just give up and move on. I definitely won’t be giving them any more of my money.

Update: I finally got past that miserable puzzle and made some progress, but the game didn’t stay in my memory when I minimized it. When I continued, it loaded up right BEFORE that godd***ed memory ****! This is a torture simulator, not a game.

Update 2: Since I write about mobile games for a living, I spent the $2.99 on Chapter 3. I was enjoying it...until I hit a timed platforming section with terrible controls. Since the game doesn’t save mid-chapter, I can’t take a break and come back when I’m less angry and frustrated, because then I would have to redo everything up to that point. This game has interesting puzzles broken up with the worst and most annoying mini games. Just avoid it if you’re not a masochist.

Alright, I’m not usually one to review games but I must say: BUYER BEWARE (since they already have my money, I’m hoping I can save yours)!!! So you get the first chapter free. Decent game, I really liked it THEN it asked me to pay $2.99 to continue on to the next chapter. Mind you, there’s a “so so” amount of gameplay for the first chapter considering that it’s free, so I thought that was a fair price to pay to continue to “unlock” what I thought would be the rest of the game. BUT WAIT! Within maybe half hour of purchasing I finished that chapter to find out they hadn’t come out with the next part of the game!!! Wow. What a disappointment. I still kept the game on my phone hoping they’d create the next part soon, which they did, as I had gotten the game about a week ago before they added more chapters. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!! I started and finished the next chapter within the same hour today to find out I HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $2.99 TO UNLOCK ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THIS GAME!!! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?? This game is very enjoyable and fun, but it is not worth $6 or more!!! Especially the fact that you must watch 30 sec ads to get any clues, 30 SECONDS, which is quite a lot of time in the app ad world, so the game is already gaining revenue from that too. I’m beyond disappointed of the greediness coming from this company.

I liked this game, well, the first 10 minutes. I got the game thinking it would be free. After all it was under top free. When I started the game I thought that this would be a fun and challenging game. It got both of those down, for 10 minutes. When you get past the desk with 4 coworkers it will ask you to pay like $2 or $3. I got the game because it was “free” and I don’t have money. I hope in the future the developers will fix this and either let you know that they are giving you a free trial or just make it free. The developers will be making money off the clues with more game to play anyways. The game was good but the paying aspect was not.

When I got this game a couple years ago and played it, it was so satisfying going from chapter to chapter. The gameplay and potential that this game has showcased is amazing for an indie game that I found on the App Store when I was searching one day. I get it, there’s money involved and everyone hates that. Well here’s what I have to say to you guys complaining about the money situation. If you look deep in your heart, and you really do enjoy playing this phenomenal game why can’t you spare the money. There’s Christmas, Birthday’s, Easter exc… in a year. Just get a 10-15$ iTunes card and use it. You won’t regret it I promise. I wish 11Sheep would make an Office Quest 2 because I genuinely enjoyed playing this game with my friends by my side solving the puzzles. #MakeAnOfficeQuest2

I actually really liked the game and would’ve kept playing however the costs were not upfront. It’s $2.99 per chapter. I wasn’t sure if it was this or 2.99 for the entire game. When I googled the cost of the entire game it said 2.99 so I invested. What the developers need to know is that I would have paid more for the entire game at one cost however not 2.99 per chapter nor the equivalent of it. That is outrageous. Super cute game however and would have loved to justified continuing to play. Nothing within the app stated the cost at any time and I looked for it. This left a very bad taste in my mouth when it didn’t need to be. Either state the cost upfront or charge one amount for the entire game and let players decide. All of their five star reviews are from players before other chapters came out and they were just playing for free. This all makes a lot of sense now.

I downloaded this game awhile back and struggled with the clues so I gave up. I decided to give it another go and was surprised at how fast I got through the first level and this time I was addicted. I was excited to go on to play the second level but it loads, asks me if I want to continue with level 2 and the options are two boxes: one that says no and one that is a solid white box which I assume was either Yes or the option to pay for the next level. I would have been happy to pay! But either of those boxes takes you back to the previous screen with the levels summary and I can’t even get it to take my money so I can move forward! Get it together!

I downloaded it free for the first chapter and enjoyed the little puzzles there. Saw that it had four chapters so when asked to pay $2.99 for second chapter I didn’t mind. Second chapter had some fun puzzles at first until about the second have when you have to do a memory puzzle. It reset and randomizes after 6 misses even though there’s a total of 8 matches so I was forced to make a chart just to pass it. The chapter ends soon after and I again had to pay another $2.99 for the next chapter. There are no bundles. No buy the full game for. Just $6 and 2 free levels (1 and 4). As of today I haven’t purchased that level because I feel a bit cheated as the first purchased level didn’t feel like it had enough content to warrant me paying again.

First, the game is quirky. The characters and style are fun and really the heart of the game. The puzzles are not exceptionally difficult which is fine because you want to see what is going to happen to the characters. Here is the problem, each chapter only takes about 30 minutes to complete and then you have to pay $2.99 for the next chapter. Now I got the game way back when it first came out. I enjoyed the free teaser chapter and paid $2.99 to get chapter 2 when it finally came out. That was a big leap of faith because it was MONTHS before chapter 2 finally arrived. To then play for 30 minutes and find that another $2.99 is required to play chapter 3 for likely only 30 minutes is just ridiculous and feels like a rip off.

I’m editing my review from 3 to 1 star. I checked back in after many months because I was curious to see if other chapters were available (not just 2) only to see huge list of reviews with the same issue I had with this developer’s ethics and deceitful advertising. And still no new chapters. I’m frustrated that users are still being scammed. Probably because this game is recommended by Apple and also has a rating of 4.3. With the amount of bad reviews coming in, I’m not understanding this. Perhaps this is a study in social psychology and not a game.

Game is advertised as free but 5 minutes into it you are told to pay $2.99 to continue. So thinking that I've paid this much for games before, for hours of fun, I purchased.
And then I finished the game in 15 minutes to be told "to be continued". If the next chapter is another $2.99, the game ends here for me.
I can't support developers with misleading advertising...independent or not...when there are others out there of similar quality and are up front about the cost and/or charge less.
Gaming experience includes the purchase/user experience. Unfortunately my enjoyment of this game was spoiled by the feeling of being shafted.
