SILK - A Leo Parker Adventure App Reviews

The game’s puzzles and atmosphere are well-designed, but the story follows a tired and somewhat arrogant trope: a Western scholar unravels an Eastern mystery, while the local figures are either obstacles or doomed by their own greed. The whole “foreign hero deciphering an ancient Eastern secret” setup feels outdated and condescending. While the game doesn’t aim for historical accuracy, this kind of storytelling still leaves an uncomfortable aftertaste. If you’re just here for the puzzles, it’s e

I haven’t finished the game yet, but I have spent multiple hours playing it at this point. I think it’s the best puzzle game I’ve found for iOS. It’s atmospheric, stylish, and mysterious, but not creepy or dark, which I love. It feels like a movie from the forties. The writing is excellent, which is often neglected in these kinds of games. I like that you can make a single puzzle easier, instead of changing the difficulty of the whole game. Would definitely recommend!

Great puzzles! Plus an interesting story. This is a great game, great atmosphere. I really am enjoying it. I had to opt for only one of the puzzles to take the easy solution. However I tripped over a bug in the game and got stuck in one of the first rooms. I wrote a note to the developers, they responded right away. They'd never heard of the bug I found but sent a fixed version as soon as Apple approved the fix. This is the fastest fix I've ever gotten on a program!

For $1.99 this might be my best game purchase EVER!!! I usually don’t care to review stuff but the music and ambiance mixed with the really challenging puzzles made it super fun and 100% worth it. The lore in Chinese and the specific Chinese puzzles (like rearranging the pictures) are wonderful and reminded me of the puzzles I’ve seen on my trip to China as a kid

Does your game use AI art?

I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the backstory of this game. It should be worth more than two dollars! To the game's developer, please keep making games and never stop.

I love these types of games generally but the story was kind of annoying. Didn’t really make sense except in an extremely colonial way. If you just want the puzzles it’s fun but not as good as other story and puzzle point-and-clicks out there that are the whole package. Not really worth the cost to me. If the clueless British man charging in to be the hero in a random country he claims to know a lot about but doesn’t seem to at all angle was more tongue in cheek I’d have enjoyed it but it just d

I’ll just list what I love 1. They give you a great experience before asking for basically nothing for the full game 2. The art is amazing 3. The puzzles are perfectly balanced. Not too easy and not too hard. It’s great. 4. The story is engaging and the cut scenes give you a perfect amount of story and info, no fluff. Great game. I wish I found it sooner. Great work
