10 Positive User Reviews for Mistico
Quitting is the only problem
This game was actually fun and challenging, but as the other reviews have mentioned, quitting the game cannot be done. Literally had to unplug my iMac to exit. Option return does not work, and putting the cursor at the top of the screen doesn't drop down the tool bar like it does in every other game I've played. Once this issue is solved, I will go back and play it again. This game will be incredibly fun once this is fixed.
Not much of a story
For those who like escape room-style games, this is not a bad way to spend an hour. Like most games in the genre, the puzzles are not related to the story. In fact, there isn’t really a story at all! Controls are fine, except it would be nice to have a way to highlight the hotspots. And the visuals are impressive, especially for a solo developer. I hope the developer will make more games with a more suspenseful story—this is a promising start, but there’s plenty of room for improvement.
fun but glitchy
for one, I couldn't exit the game unless i forced my mac to shut down. Also some of the puzzle answers didn't work, had to input numerous times or shut down, start again, only then did the answer work. The safe dial didn't spin all the way around, almost gave up, had to "spin" the pointer around 10-15 times for it to get to the higher numbers. but overall, i liked the story, the puzzles were medium difficulty, a fun way to spend 20-30 min.
Atmosphere yes, story and puzzles leave you wanting
Impressive effort from a solo developer. I bought the game on sale for 99 cents, don't think it justifies a higher price (in comparison to other titles).
This offers a high level of immersion and foreboding (feels similar to great titles like Meridian 157, Adventure Beyond Time) that isn't quite fully realized with the story progression.
The puzzles are pretty run-of-the-mill, with an over-reliance on figuring out safe combinations.
Hoping for greater variety and depth in future titles.
Fun Adventure Game
Good fun and well worth the price!
Nice Game
Enjoyed playing very much! It was a relaxing way to spend an hour playing an escape game frustration-free
Short but good
I just finished this game. It is very short but enjoyable.
MISTICO
With all of the code sequences I have had to totally close out of the game and once I restart the code works

Inital Review
Fist off, I cannot exit the game. I'm unable to enter windowed mode and Option-Return doesn't work either.
I'm not ready to give up on the game yet... but need to be able to save and exit the game without resorting to a FORCE QUIT.
Short and Simple
This would be great for a 4th Grader. The solutions are linear from beginning to end. Enjoyed the effort but this is not even close to a single puzzle in the referenced game from the past.
