Truberbrook Hack 1.40 + Redeem Codes

I have to say, I felt a level of immersion in this game that I rarely find with other point-and-clicks. The art direction and animation is certainly five star worthy and it's a fun and quirky sci-fi storyline that's easy to buy into, plenty of interesting characters with a quality voice cast.

Unfortunately, some less than efficient game play and odd glitches near the end left me with less than complete satisfaction. I wish they could give you some text description for items in the inventory, guess they didn't want to have to worry about localization. Hoping there's another title in the works from this developer.

While nicely animated, the gameplay can become tedious. Frequently in order to progress, you have to repeat conversations with characters which is a bit illogical. The mechanics of using inventory items is devoid of any thought. If an inventory item can be used, it is automatically selected for you. Most games of this type require you to figure out on your own which inventory item or combination of items to use in a given situation. Finally, and most frustrating is a rendering bug I encountered as I was just about to complete the game. The bug has prevented me from finishing the game. Watching a walkthrough online, the bug became obvious. At one point Gretchen is fighting with Lazarus and a force field generates around them. When I played the game, the force field was a solid, grid of hexagons. When I watched the walkthrough, the grid is supposed to be transparent. This is essential to the progression of the game. In my case the sequence renders incorrectly and leaves me stranded after playing for several hours. Hopefully the developer does a better job on the next one.

I just completed this game in about 6.5 hours on my new iPhone 12 Pro Max. It was wonderful to find myself immersed in a game and its storyline. The gameplay took me back to the days of Monkey Island, Loom and Grim Fandango. I wish more people made games like this. My experience was completely glitch-free and the hotspot indicators ensured that it remained fun instead of being an exercise in frustration. This is not a game for the ADD generation as it requires thinking, listening and no killing whatsoever to progress. The only part I didn’t enjoy was the seemingly endless series of questions that needed to be answered in exactly the right sequence to escape the sanatorium. I must admit that I needed the help of an online walkthrough for that part. I loved this game and I hope the producers will make more such games. Truly a labor of love and thankfully without any in-game purchases or advertising. For five bucks this is a steal.

I played this on a 2018 iPad Pro and had no problems. Thoroughly satisfying game!!!
Just a couple bugs that didn’t affect game play or crash the game like others have reported. I have played it on my iPhone 7 as well, with no problems.
The best experience is with the big screen though. Lots of details. Be patient to find the objects. If you can’t proceed, you are missing something somewhere. Many times you have to revisit characters and ask engage them in new conversations.
It was a nice long game, but I am left wanting more! Truberbrook 2 please. Looking at the credits, it is hard to believe how many people it took to make this and I believe it. Well done guys. I will send the bug report.
BTW the credits are like Marvel movies, hint hint.

There’s a lot to like in this game - clever visuals, cunning puzzles, a genuinely oddball sense of humor - but it very clearly isn’t ready for wide release, which is embarrassing given how long it’s been on the market.

I agree with other reviewers about the amateurish localization. The English version definitely needs a thorough proofread for basic spelling & grammar. There’s also a general bugginess that would be frustrating enough were it not for other issues.

More serious problems turn up the deeper a player moves into the game. Playable objects (some of them crucial to completing puzzles) are missing tags, leaving players in limbo or sending them off in search of a walkthrough. Then there’s the ever-tedious issue of forcing players to repeat conversations in hope of uncovering a nugget of useful information. Much of the humor pales on the third pass, and the conversation interactions themselves are poorly engineered.

The biggest problem (for me, anyway) is a bug in Chapter 3 that presents an insoluble roadblock. Even though I’ve played the section correctly (I’ve checked several walkthroughs) an essential interaction does not work, so I’m stranded without recourse. (Playing on iPad Mini 2021, btw.) Don’t bother reaching out to support: nobody’s home.

So, one star for the clever bits & overall ambition. But spend your money on a game that actually works.

The game is strikingly beautiful, and the puzzles are fairly interesting. One complaint I have is that the pace of the game is incredibly slowed by the abundance of dialogue, much of which is un-skippable, and including a 5-10 minute musical interlude that also cannot be skipped. The layout is one of my favorite styles, classic point and click adventure in the vein of King’s Quest and Monkey Island, only the inventory items are chosen for you when you interact with something in the screen, and again, the pacing is nearly unbearable. Still I give it 4 stars, because it obviously had a lot of heart and a lot of time put into sculpting the world of Truberbrook.

Absolutely loved this point-and-click adventure. Gorgeous artwork. Lovely background music...which is often overlooked in adventure games...BGM is integral to an immersive game. Likable characters. The voice acting was fine. And the storyline was enjoyable.

(although I must add...the adult content is unnecessary)

The controls were easy to use. Interacting with inventory items was unique in that the action wouldn’t engage unless you had acquired the necessary item. So that reduced the difficulty of the game overall. On the plus side...there’s no drag & dropping every time you get stumped. But still, the entire game was logical and
progressed smoothly. No issues with glitches.

Seems that some negative reviews here are primarily due to glitches...which is not a fair review of the actual game.

And those people who are complaining about the game being slow or difficult should probably stick to playing angry birds instead. Point and click adventures are supposed to be story-driven and based in logic & creative challenges.

This game deserves 5⭐️!

I bought it when it first came out and asked for and received a refund because it didn’t work on my iPad 5th generation with 128GB of Ram despite the App Store stating it would.
After several app updates in response to a ton of warranted complaints about device compatibility, it is now working flawlessly on my iPad and I am so glad I repurchased this game.
I was rooting so hard for this game, since it looked so quirky and fun, and is had delivered so far after about 2 hours of gameplay.
No crashes, saves work, and very lovely attention to detail.
As a German, this game has so many little details and accents that are adorable and well done. A perfect game for fans of relaxing point and click adventures with good characters, scenery and storyline.
Please make more of these, but make sure they work for the majority of device owners.

The art work is beautiful. It looks like the story would be fun. It is however one of the more games that tired to play. I am a former “closed” game tester. This is one I would have had a lot of write ups for. It just does not want to work flawlessly. It takes forever to get one item. The controls within the game were tedious. I am sure the story line was awesome. I just can’t go on with this one. I usually never do a low review. I waited until there were some really nice ones to balance this out. Please read some from the good and the bad and the middle before you pay for the game and try it yourself. It may be JUST the game that YOU will enjoy. That is what ratings are for. Use the info and make a decision. Thanks

I really enjoyed playing this game. I did not have any crashing issues as some others reported. I thought the story line and puzzles were entertaining and also challenging. The only feed back I have is, I wish when you get the map that you could access it anytime rather than in only a couple areas. Other than that i had a lot of fun.
