Dark Romance: Performance

I have played this game several times, and decided to give it another go. While it is an older game. It still plays well - although part of the sound disappeared about halfway through. Still, it definitely doesn’t disappoint, and for me, it’s far better than a lot of current offerings. Developers, take note - I am playing an old game instead of spending NEW money on one of those “installment” games some seem to enjoy. I don’t understand how buying smaller pieces of a larger thing (but paying for each piece) instead of buying it all at once makes sense to some people. I don’t think I am alone in that! More games like this one, please!

UPDATE : March 3 Good news everyone! It seems that Domini has installed their update for Mystery Tales, and Dracyy, who is an original Dream Team Elite member, has informed us that the game is working well and enjoyable to play! Domini, thank you for the quick response! As far as Artifex Mundi goes they have been untruthful to the gaming community. Secret Order 7 Shadow Breach is shown as unavailable in this country/region, yet they are advertising it and reporting that they have released it. How can you tell gamers a new game is released when its not and then charge them a monthly subscription fee for their AM club, in which you are supposed to have one new game per month? They are underhanded and I for one cannot support this type of behavior. I have unsubscribed from their AM club and I suggest you do the same if you joined. I have sent them 3 emails and they refuse to respond. If this game is not released as of today, they are going to receive a very unpleasant email from me. I did tell them that they would suffer a loss in revenue as a result of this fiasco. I hope that many of you will contact them as well to complain about this unfair situation! Remember I cannot do everything myself and neither can my amazing friend Catalina. I am sorry to give you bad news but it is our obligation to keep you informed. UPDATE: February 28 Hey gamers! Two new releases on iOS today, so good news. First our beloved Oleg from Domini released a new Mystery Tales and Artifex Mundi purportedly released the Secret Order 7. It’s not out yet but should be available later today.That’s probably Sunward, but I don’t know yet. If they don’t release it today, they’re in violation of their AM club, so I told them they had better do it and they’re somewhat afraid of me so check tonight! Update: At 9:00 pm this game still has not appeared on the App Store. I don’t know what the issue is, but I have contacted Artifex Mundi. Truthfully don’t be too quick to sign up for their club. It doesn’t really seem to save money if you’ve already bought all their games. I will probably cancel my subscription. In any event at least we have some games to play, thanks to our DTE. I want to invite a couple of gamers to join. I am extending an invitation to undercover zip and I’m an Awesome Person (you really are) to join me and the DTE. All you need to do is write thorough reviews and hype the games. No automatic 5 stars if they have flaws! It’s just an honor bestowed for loyalty and we need your help. If you have any additional information on other developers please fill us in. Welcome aboard! Remember gamers look to us for help because that’s what we try to do. For those of you who don’t know, Catalina and I worked tirelessly with Oleg and Domini, as well as Elephant, developed a relationship, and now we have games. So you must review if you want these games and don’t complain about pricing. Thanks everyone and have a great day! Thank you Oleg for another fabulous installment in this beloved series! This twisted adaptation of Phantom of the Opera will delight fans of Domini and the series. As usual, you play from the perspective of the two protagonist lovers. The game is gorgeous, lengthy and exquisite, and you can customize every aspect, from the general gameplay to the map indicators, as well as the difficulty level of the mini-games. For collectibles enthusiasts, you must collect gems to decorate a dressing room, artifacts associated with opera, and posters. The graphics were colorful and exquisite. There were tons of complex items to assemble, and when you apply inventory items, expect a magical occurrence. They might open a hidden cache, thrust you into an HO scene, or into a puzzle, or you will receive another item. Each location had a plethora of tasks to accomplish, and you will meet many helpful (and not entirely altruistic) spirits along your magnificent and magical journey. The HO scenes had a terrific variety, as well as an alternate match-3 puzzle. The puzzles/mini-games were mostly rotational in nature, but there were also games of logic, dexterity and skill, codes and an interesting one where you needed to use a map. Gameplay was exciting and held my interest. Truly it is bothering me that I cannot rate it a full 5 stars, but there were a couple of issues that prevented me from doing so. Even after the game had been updated, which was very quickly done, some of the mini-games were impossible to manipulate and I had to skip them. In addition, the map occasionally indicated an available task before the necessary inventory item had been acquired, leading me to wonder if I missed something. Normally Domini has amazing quality assurance so I don’t know what happened. However, it was still an incredible game and well worth the price of only $2.99. Thus, my true rating will be 4.5 stars. This is a must-play adventure! Happy gaming everyone! UPDATE: I play with the game muted so I didn’t know there was an issue with the voices. Welcome back to KimTwilight. I missed you! Thank you for recognizing the lengths that Catalina and I went to in order to get games. Unfortunately we both got very sick with shingles, because it was so horrendously stressful. I am confused about a “reduced price.” I thought the game was priced at $2.99 without a trial, and that was a steal for what you get from Domini. I still haven’t played Secret City but I am looking forward to it, and everyone has been rating it highly so I probably will love it. Oleg, once again thank you! You have restored our faith that there are wonderful people out there, no matter what BigFish did to us!

It might be a good game, but there was a white box where hints should be, but no hints. I am not going to purchase.

This was reported to you in March and here it is December and the Skip/Hint button still not fixed. Big white square and no matter how many times the button is hit nothing happens. Giving this 2 stars.

The skip/hint button did not work at all! I just play the casual mode, because I do not need more stress. I liked the story but i was disappointed.

When playing the first scene, the hint mask appears to go to its place, but then the hint box is just a white square with no hint available. I tried deleting then restoring my purchase but it didn’t work. Any suggestions?
