Puzzle House: Mystery Rising

This game is similar to The Room series, and there are games that claim to be similar and don’t hold up; I wish it was longer of course, and wish the storyline tied in better, but the puzzles are great much like the Room. If the puzzles tied directly into the story, and you did more for the plot- it would have been 5 stars- looks like there will be a sequel, which, the way this game ended there are numerous possible directions to go in, just wish it all came out at once. But great job, I love this kind of puzzle game!

I read the reviews and knew that the game was going to be rather short but I gave it a try anyway. I don’t usually buy games, I usually only play free games. But today I paid the $2.99 for this game and I’m certainly glad I did. It was totally worth every penny, considering the complex puzzles and graphics. Plus it didn’t look like it really “ended” where it did. Another part is coming soon, not sure when, and I’m not even sure if we’ll have to pay to access it or if it will just be an update. I will definitely keep my eye open. But for those considering buying this game, you won’t be disappointed. It took me over an hour to complete, it wasn’t like a 15-20 minute game. It was really fun and challenging. I truly enjoyed it. So I definitely recommend it!!! 5 stars for sure. 👍🏼 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There are some good things about this game; clever ideas, nice graphics, and interesting puzzles. But, to be a good puzzle, there has to be a logical, solvable solution. It can be very difficult, but ultimately one clue needs to lead to another. This one requires knowing a series of unrelated “click here” then “move somewhere else” then “go back” and “click something else.” Except, none of the moves is intuitive nor related, so the player either needs to have a 6th sense or use hints. In fact, there’s no way to solve this without using hints. I’m not an expert player, but even an expert can’t figure out non-existent clues. This game is a little like a murder mystery where the butler did it, but none of the characters is a butler. It leaves you scratching your head and feeling cheated.
