Review of Ink & Clues


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Pathetic

What can I say. Disappointment is an understatement. The game was a chore to play right from the start. Nothing but reading, reading and more reading.

Every element was the same as the next and the solution just shows that the whole game is one giant red herring.

We didn’t receive access to half the resources we needed and what’s worse is that we didn’t even know it until we read the solution.

‘It was the only other person left and he has a dog’

Pathetic pathetic pathetic.

I waste of an evening, do not waste your time and money.

We're sorry to hear that this was your experience.

Mystery games of this type do involve a fair amount of reading, as the gameplay revolves around analyzing case files, evidence, reports, and witness statements. We understand that this style of game may not be for everyone.

What concerns us most, however, is your comment that you were unable to access information required to solve the case. Our games are specifically designed so that players can reach the correct conclusion through logical deduction based on the evidence provided, without guesswork. If resources were missing, that suggests there may have been an error, and we would like to investigate what happened.

I can see that you've also contacted us by email, which we really appreciate. We'll continue the conversation there and do our best to understand the issue and improve your experience with us.
