Escape from Crimson Manor Ep.1 for Android

I really really wanted to love this, because I’ve very much enjoyed MediaCity’s other adventure games. Unfortunately I can’t handle the smooth-scrolling graphics with the contrary swipe action. It makes me nauseous after a few minutes’ play. Just now I tried playing the game again after a break of several months, hoping that the effect wasn’t as bad as I’d remembered. Alas, after a few seconds I knew I couldn’t continue. Two stars, to catch the attention of the developers. Please, I beg you, give us an option to set the swipe action to normal. That should have been the default in the first place. I have no problem with the smooth scrolling in the Room series, for example. I’ll give a positive update once I can actually play the game. I imagine that you’ve worked very hard to make a beautiful game. I don’t understand why you haven’t quickly responded to all the requests to give an option reverse the swipe action, because why you would want to prevent a substantial number of your fans from playing the game? Here’s the thing: if you don’t suffer from motion sickness, then you’ll have no idea at all what we are complaining about. The only way you’ll know is if you listen to what we are telling you about our playing experience.

I wish I had known that the graphics move the way they do before I spent money on the game. It almost makes me sick when playing

Having played most all escape games, I love finding new ones that are well done. This game is a great mix: decent level of difficulty, layered puzzles, decent gameplay. If I had to suggest a few things… An option to reverse the drag direction: on most devices, you pull towards an object, not push to them. And option to pinch back out instead of the back button. And an option not to automatically catalog clues - this takes the fun out of figuring things out. But nice work, I enjoyed it.

I almost didn’t purchase this game because of the rating and the reviews, and I usually don’t purchase games that don’t have a free trial, but something told me to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. This game is very under-rated, I loved it. The graphics, the storyline, the puzzles, all great. I do however, wish it was a bit longer, although for the price, I feel like it was adequate. There were a lot of complaints in other reviews about the controls, I didn’t have a problem with the actual controls of the game however I wish they were reversed. Great game, look forward to more by this developer.

I am currently playing this game. Love the style, art design, puzzles, 3d effect. However there are some bugs and glitches. For example, I am playing in the second room, when zoomed in aa puzzle, I move a block and the camera zooms all over the room. So I can’t really finish the puzzle. Gonna keep trying though, push through the glitch to finish the episode. , cuz i really want to see the ending
