The Great Unknown: Houdini's Castle (Full)

Turned out better than I thought. Had a lot of places to go and a lot of items to find to keep the game interesting.

there is something wrong. at the fish tank. I used the claw then it just stop and will not work. what do I do I payed for the game.i cant go forward. please help Microsoft.

Love format and puzzles - cannot finish! I've played a lot of HOG on full screen. This is first time on smart phone (HTC M8 windows). Need good light because of screen size and eye sight. Graphics are well done. Love the ** which calls for finding related objects. I'll be looking for more games from this producer when I'm done. Need to update: got stuck and could not accomplish task. Strategy Guide described items I could not win. I am starting over... there were time lapses while playing so I hope I can play through this time. Would rate as a 5 if I could finish game.

I have encountered freezing problems with the game that I don't normally have with my Win 10. I had to close everything else I was running to get it to stop, but had to restart the game from the beginning several times until I figured that out. I did not follow the walkthrough frame by frame, but had to refer to it when I wasn't able to find a crucial item to move forward. It wasn't helping so, I looked up a walkthrough video series on YouTube - I discovered that one of the HO scenes I played did not give me a button for the cash register (#8) as it was suppose to, and another did didn't give me a Jar to place the fly in. I've backtracked all through the game, and can't get a scene to open up to supply those items. So, basically, if you don't follow the walkthrough step-by-step exactly, you won't get the items you need to continue the game - the game won't pick up and let you do that later. So, after several re-starts, I now have to start all over again ..? I don't think so, I'm done.

I'm only on the trial and just started it. This is the kind of game I play a lot of. However, the bright blue loading that pops up between every scene is so annoying I don't think ill spend the money. Why do you do that? There are many games like this that go from scene to scene without pause and those are way better. Another problem is the map. Its useless except to go quickly from one place to another (between loading). But it doesn't indicate if there is action in an area. So unless you have a perfect memory, you have to jump around between numerous scenes to find one thing to use or do somewhere else. All in all, its just aggravating. Between the map, the loading and the spinning direction arrows, I quit before the trial ended and will uninstall.
