Escape from Crimson Manor Ep.1 App Reviews

This game absolutely does not deserve the rating that it has. I understand that the controls are opposite of what we’re normally used to in games like these, and that can be annoying in the beginning until you get used to it, but if you look past the controls, this game is absolutely beautiful. The puzzles are great, the storyline isn’t over-complicated, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. It’s a shame that the rating does not reflect the game-play, but the controls.

I think this is a great series. I saw the 3.6 review & that seemed extremely harsh. I love games like “The Room” & “House of Da Vinci”; this series definitely falls in that category. My only complaint is that the visual ascetic of the game is dark, which I like, but some of the puzzles can be hard to solve. There isn't enough of a contrasting color to be able to see them well. The only way I could solve the puzzles was to take a screen shot & zoom in to be able to tell what was going on. But th

The toolbox puzzle has the 2nd slider bar far to the left basically off screen. The slider is outside of the puzzle and to far to even slide it. So I can’t complete the puzzle and can’t continue on. I had to restart the game in order to be able to finally finish the game.

It’s a decent puzzle game. I wasn’t a huge fan of not being able to jump between rooms which would have made the navigation much easier. And awfully short for the price. I see that episode 2 is a larger game so is hopefully longer if I chose to buy it. Wanted to love it more!

Nice point and click escape mystery game. Took me 2 nights to finish, a few hours of playtime. The puzzles made me think but were all logical and with the clue button, nothing is difficult enough that I needed to use a walkthru.

It’s very glitchy. Have gone through a wall. It’s very sensitive. It’s hard to control where I’m going. A good plot.

Beautifully done. Fun, challenging puzzles. Helpful hint system….when needed. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Having played most all escape games, I love finding new ones that are well done. This game is a great mix: decent level of difficulty, layered puzzles, decent gameplay. If I had to suggest a few things… An option to reverse the drag direction: on most devices, you pull towards an object, not push to them. And option to pinch back out instead of the back button. And an option not to automatically catalog clues - this takes the fun out of figuring things out. But nice work, I enjoyed it.

This is easily a 4+ star game. Room, House of DaVinci, etc. well worth getting. Support the dev. and let’s get the next episode!

The controls at extremely frustrating. I want to drag around the screen, but get it wrong almost every time. I thought for sure this would be a setting, but nope.

I just purchased this game and wasn’t expecting the layout which is different but ok, I really can’t play this game unless there was an inverted option to navigate, big 👎 for me

I really liked this game. Not too easy, not too hard. The perfect challenge.

Very entertaining game just like all the others by this developer. Can’t wait for the next part….

Everything in this short game takes way too long. All dialogue scrolls out so slow i thought at first it was a joke. And I was ready to just quit the game when I had to scroll through ALL the letters of the alphabet multiple times.

I was enjoying playing game on my MAC until the revolving bookshelf puzzle. It will not work when I click on the books. Nothing happens when I click them. I know I have the correct clue, but it just won’t accept the answer. I have closed out the game and restarted it. It is updated. This happened with another similar game. It is upsetting to get this far into a game only to find it will not work to allow you to continue to play, especially when you paid for the game. I am giving it one star b/c

This game made me so motion sick. Also, the controls do not play nicely with the iPad Pro. For example, in the library, the sliding tiles puzzle is impossible to move without also moving the room all around. I can’t play this game because it makes me ill.
