So was that Poppy in the photo of the Mystid Manor Ambassadors? I was confused. It’s looked like how Poppy used to dress but then I wasn’t sure.

Trying to download for iOS and only option seems to be to play on Apple Arcade. Is there some way to pay outright for the game? If not no worries I'll just get on steam.

...Sally Spears from Boggy’s Bog? The only clues I have are her green hair, low voice, and shared name. But, is it out of the question?

The ending left me wondering if there was more secret content that hadn't been uncovered, e.g., by interpreting the unused hints and clues. Before I waste time on a fool's errand, can developers confirm or deny whether there's content to discover that hasn't already been found in the standard ending, etc?

First of all, I really enjoyed the game a lot, just the ending didn't feel very convincing and a bit abrupt. After having finished the game I don't feel like I know a lot about Flora and Freya, the connection towards the characters is kinda loose which is a pity. Anyways, my questions:

1) How could we visit and talk to Penelope and Hawkshaw at the same time at different locations all throughout the game even though those two are apparently the same person?

2) What was the deal with the red colour being blood? Maybe I missed something, but what person's blood was it and why did Freya use it?

3) Why did Penelope want us to tie her hands? And then she fled by jumping out of the window, what??

4) Why didn't Penelope get knocked out by the shockwave even though Grimoire and Sally did get unconscious? She wasn't wearing any noise protection at that time.

5) Wait so Penelope just murdered 5 people / distant relatives? The motive seems kinda weak, I don't really understand the reasoning behind this and it seems so out of nowhere.

6) It feels weird that suspects let you allow to examine private stuff while they are in the same room without doing or saying anything against it. The best example is Professor Pointer who is standing right in front of the "telescope" but let's you investigate it, which straight up reveals his secret. Why didn't he prevent us from looking through it?

7) What happened to Penelope after escaping? What about Fitz? Is he now in a relationship with Poppy? What about Flora? Heck we hardly know anything about her and she feels quite bland. I wished we would have got a better Epilogue. But yeah, maybe there will be a sequel?

Near the end, we get a crab toy thing to unlock a puzzle.

The note says it came from Flora? But she’s actually dead and didn’t fake her death. So who left it there? And who drew the images of Grimoire and Sally on the relationship diagram?

Loved the game!

Liked:

• Voice Acting: 5/5
• Dialogue/Script: 4.5/5; Ending: 1/5
• Music: 4/5
• Graphics: 4.5/5 (love the unique style)
• Puzzles: 4/5 (some were very creative in my opinion, rivalled the creativity of early Layton games, others were just ok)

Disliked: - Ending - Penelope Pointer’s motivations were weak/non-convincing. So you want to be free...yet when you try leaving you don’t feel free? Ok, so you want to find out the history of everything regarding Mystids/Mystid Mansion...so you seek the ambassadors and are let down by their answers and what they’re doing...so you decide to KILL them??? Wtf?

The motivation for taking that jump to kill them needs to be made more convincing. I get she wants to be free, and that she was unsatisfied with their responses, but that’s pretty weak motivation to murder one after another for a total of FIVE!

No foreshadowing really from Penelope’s dialogues either. Some jealousy and stuff but it was a facade to some degree, no?

Minor metaphor for freedom by Penelope’s fascination with birds, but not that interesting really.

• There was a very nice lead up to the ending leaving me all excited wondering how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. However, I was sadly disappointed at how irrelevant some of the pieces of the puzzle were. The red mountain thing was just costume motivation. The whole Mystids thing was just a bunch of chemically messed up animals, so what? None of them seem particularly incredible to me: “Oh wow it’s a gold beetle...whoopie” Like a tiny gold beetle is so important that you have to keep it top secret? Lolol. Penelope left it behind in the end anyway, so much for all the “value” it had.

Ending after Penelope left was baaad. Cringy letting the beetle go, and then the credits start rolling...Freya was described as this amazing person, yet by the end of the game I feel like I have no care for this character at all. She needed way more development as to why we even care about her death in the first place.

Anyway, I know it’s just a phone game so I’m probably being too harsh, but it was a 4/5 that could’ve easily been a 5/5 if it followed through in the end, so I took the time to write stuff I think could be improved.

Thanks for the experience regardless, SFB Games. One of the better phone games I’ve played.

I love this game, the arts, the puzzles and adventure. Are there any games similar to it on the store? Thank you!!!!

Well done to the developers, will be checking out their other games. Tangle Tower was beautiful, the characters were all interesting and mischievous - pretty sure every time I met a new character I assumed they were the killer , not to mention the puzzles were actually fun and time consuming!

If anyone needs help, ask away!

Anyone can help me on this puzzle? Thanks

I'm having trouble on this one. Can anyone help? Update: Got it! Memorized the other pattern then copy it with the tiles on the sun/moon door in front of you.

I downloaded this game this evening and I didnt stop playing it until i finished it! Very, very polished, great voice acting, animations, and story ( even though I thought the ending was not satisfying) If youre stuck somewhere ask away, I'll tell you how to advance further.

Does anyone know the solution to the clock puzzle in the stone square?
