Gamer reviews for Murder by Choice: Clue Mystery
Showing all reviews:
It’s mysterious and keeps me guessing. I like how I have to make decisions to figure out the game. And I like the tiny scavenger hunts built in too. Awesome game!
So far so good, but early days, I have only been playing for two days.
So far it's fun but frustrating that if one item can't be found. Sometimes the hint button isn't of real help.
It’s a great game and I loved it but the only down fall is the energy runs out to quick as it takes 20 or so Energy just to make a choice.
Uses way too much energy to do the most mundane things, but it's got great potential and amazing graphics.
It’s fun and frustrating, I enjoy it but right now I can’t get any farther because it doesn’t tell me what to do with the Chisel I found in the wine cellar
I wish the energy would charge faster. I really enjoy the game, when I can play it....
App gamer became my go-to for this as some objects are extremely hard to see on a phone screen. It's a nice idea but everything you've read about the energy issues is true. It is extremely heavy on HOPs and some circumstances are really inane, like the resident doctor is treating you for head trauma but makes you go through an HOP to find her equipment. Some of the voice acting is not awful but the main character is not one of them. It really sounds like a bunch of friends got together to do the voices regardless of acting ability, and the clarity is inconsistent. TBF the main character articulates nicely but is not acting. Graphics are nice but cutscenes are done in a very amateurish comic book style that I thought detracted from the overall video quality. But worst is that you get nickel and dimed to death if you want to play for more than a few minutes. They don't even warn you that the very slow energy refill cuts off at 200 and that if you go above that either by waiting, watching insanely repetitive ads, or shelling out money, the automatic refills stop. I have games that I've been happy to pay the flat fee of $5.99 or so, as I would have, but this issue ends my engagement with Nordcurrent. You need literally thousands of energy "points" to get through the game and they dock you if you touch the screen too many times in one area during a HOP, very unfair as the screen's sensitivity on HOPs and scene transitions is very inconsistent.
I would give Murder by Choice 5 stars. The story line was interesting , I liked the characters in the story. I liked the concept that the choices that I made would have an influence on the outcome of how everything would play out, although I doubt that they did. I think the story was set to play out a certain way regardless of my choices. But it was a very fun game too, and l would like to continue it to see what's happens in Chapter 2 ( Wedding Bells) ,that is, if it ever does come out.
Could have better energy preservation/spending.
Love the game, sure keeps you guessing as to what is really going on in the island.
Not bad. Wish energy wouldn’t be used on silly things
30 energy’s to do basic stuff is way too much! The energy use should be a set number like 1 since it takes forever to get more. The game is interesting but I think ima gonna delete the app since the energy issue
It is fun, but not enough energy to play longer than a few minutes.
1 energy every 7 min is a long wait.
Leuke game. Maar de energie raakt veel te snel op! Net als bij Murder in the Alps. En daarom weiger ik extra energie te kopen. Eerst maar een verbetering hierin aanbrengen. Trouwens in murder by choice kom ik niet eens in de shop want dan stopt de game. Jammer want de game is echt leuk maar op deze manier stop ik er weer mee.
I love it. The server has issues some times, and unfortunately the energy gets drained super fast, but the gane is nice.
I LOVED THE 1st one, now I'm waiting for the wedding bell update
The game was fun but did need a lot of energy to get things done but really getting tried of waiting for next chapter might delete it for another game as right now it’s just taken up space on my ipad
Like the game wish I could earn more and quicker energy points
Excellent. Lots of fun. Just wish the energy levels came quicker
Very involved and intricate storyline that captivates audiences
I really love this kind of games. The only bummer is the amount of energy you need to keep progressing, or maybe I just hate to wait XD
I love this game. It’s been fun playing it. I still have a ways to go. I am pretty sure. I like to find the items.
Love it. I keep looking for clues until I can't get what I need, then I will ask questions. Glad you have this site because things are cleverly hidden but at times really hard to get access to the clue.
It's a really fun, engaging game with fantastic artwork and animations for a hidden object game. The player can choose between listening to the voice actors or reading scenes like a comic, and influence the story with their actions. The one complaint I have with the game is the hellacious time it takes to recover energy.
I really like this game because there is nothing timed, and I can take my time to look for the items! Well, I don’t like as if I have to do this all over again because I can’t get Ruben to take the cane!
A bit tedious. I'm finding I don't care anymore about who dies and who the killer is. I just want to complete it and move on.
I’m loving playing this! This story definitely makes me want keep playing to find out what happens next!
I love this game - really fun mysteries. I just wish energy reloaded faster!
Love it but frustrated by how quickly energy is used.
It's fun, the energy is a pain in the rear end though...
THIS was simply brilliant. I loved it from start to finish. Many players have complained about the energy running out too quickly and I HAVE to agree. Times are hard enough just now without paying a fortune to get to the end. CAN WE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have an option for a one off payment? It would make it sooo much more enjoyable
Looking forward to the next chapter however.
Like the game just wish energy would renew quicker.
Really entertaining has me hooked. Lots of different games to play which can be challenging and fun
It’s great fun! I love the mini-games, the characters and the story. I LOVE Nordcurrent games. So far, they are my FAVOURITE!! I had trouble with the free energy n free hints in the shop. I watched a couple dozen ads n didn’t get my energy points and hints. Also, the game had a glitch where it said “ there is a discrepancy detected and a rollback has been issued”. It would go back a section, losing my energy points and I would have to play the same section again. It wasn’t a whole section and I didn’t mind that much but I didn’t like losing the energy. The 200 energy points didn’t go far. It was very frustrating.
Game is addictive. Can not stop to find out who the murder is.
I love this game. It makes my day go by so much faster I would recommend this game to anybody that loves playing hidden object games.
I love this game. It is beautiful and has a great plot line. It reminds me of the old movie “Clue” (Oops showing my age there).
I love Murder in the Alps, so I was very excited for this game. Unfortunately, this game is not up to that standard of storytelling or puzzle play. The choices offered are often not what I would ask or do. MC hasn’t asked some very obvious questions or picked up on some of the conversation clues from the other characters. The Collectibles are not in logical spots and are occasionally not even visible: I just keep randomly tapping until I find one in each location. And waiting 23.5 hours for the full 200 energy only to get 2-7 minutes of gameplay isn’t great for following the story. The further into the story, the more energy things cost; even making a choice takes energy. I can spend all 200 and not play a single puzzle. For example, I just played a scene where picking up one object (20 energy), putting it on a table (another 20), and watching the mandatory illustrated cut scene (50 energy) took less than 60 seconds. Nordcurrent clearly knows this and annoyingly offers deals on energy purchases every time I play. All that said, I’m still playing to the end, just to see if that’s as predictable as the rest of the story so far.
I love the game, unfortunately I've spent a fortune buying hints and etc..should l d be free!!
So far, it’s good. Stuck on charcoal bags, looking for help
Terrible. Amateur storytelling. The biggest criticism is that the game is called Murder by Choice. 80% of the “choices” were already decided. You could choose A and the game would say “ we’re going to do B instead”. So the entire premise of the game being a choice adventure was a complete lie.
Great original game. Far better than I've played. It's great that you determine where the game goes.
Good game. Very interesting. Need a long time to go end.
Good game just very costly. And if you purchase energy it doesn’t keep accumulating every so many minutes. They would be better off offering a paid version and cutting back on energy costs for free version. I would give more stars but it’s too costly with energy and purchases go buy a new Xbox or PlayStation game it’s much cheaper.
It is quite a nice game. Very interactive, making you wonder how the game would have gone had you made another choice. You can’t go back. Sometimes you would like to have more than two options. Love the designs and the story.
I love the game, I just get frustrated at the glitches that repeat parts you’ve already completed. Also energy doesn’t last long and takes forever to accumulate.
Absolutely love this game. There’s just one very big negative: you need a lot of energy for every little action and it fills so slow again…. Guess they want you to buy energypacks. Hints on the other hand you can get by watching (a lot of the same) commercial. But the game has a nice plot with unexpected turns, characters and keeps you wondering a long time. Can’t wait for the next one!
Great rainy day game, hard to solve puzzles and money needed to get any clue. Some of the puzzle are multiple and hard to solve
The voice actor for Carla was my only complaint. She reads slower than Genie.
It’s good but its annoying how quickly you run out of energy and how long it takes for the energy to refill
Not happy, feel as though I've literally wasted time on this game - only to be stopped in my tracks by the basement security door. There's no way I can enter the code as the game just doesn't respond to anything I do! Nothing works & now I can't proceed any further.
It worked!!! 10/10 recommended I followed the picture instructions step by step and I received the antidote I was stuck course trying to figure it out I had to search up a solution and this worked.
I really enjoy playing but I hate how fast the energy drains. I can’t even get through half a scene without running out of energy.
Game has frozen so can’t move on, very frustrating.
Too expensive for the ridiculously low time and number of lives per action. It’s a very good game if you’d won the lottery and expense no spared. Hence low rating
In my own thoughts I highly recommend murder by choice, see you don't need great internet connection to play the game like some other games and it's frustrating that the games don't even load because you need high internet but I don't have great internet in my area (mobile data) I llove murder by choice the story it's set on and the year period with a modern twist the satellite dish but I'm pretty sure it's based in the 1950s lol.
But don't let that distract you from the game, also the voice script is fantastic so you can keep up with story and I have played all of the games by Nordcurrent and huge fan and you should check them all out to and a great time waster, one important thing to remember and crucial to the game play in reference to the Calamine tea when asked to make tea, without spoiling the game and I hope all this helps. Cheers Jay-Dee
Just wish it was quicker to get energy I have spent nearly £20 already on energy
It's a well written game with a good storyline. For more advanced puzzlers, it is not very challenging and the game progresses ahead and does a lot of the guiding by telling where to go next and what you need to do. The mini games may be a breeze for some and it would have been nice to have the option for Easy, Medium, Hard levels at the start of the game. The fact the energy level expires with each click of the screen is disappointing as each day you can only play for 5 minutes without paying for more or watching ads - and that doesn't guarantee you get any more energy as there are "discrepancies" which resets the last scene and you lose the energy and any part you had just completed (annoying when you have to do the hidden object again). Overall, good game.
