The Eyes of Ara for Negative User Reviews

✓ No clear solution for puzzles, etcThis is the first time I had to google a walk through for a game. I should have read the reviews first because it seems that many others did the same. So with that my review is similar in that while it’s interesting and graphics are great, the actual figuring out the game not so much. Not sure why certain things needed to be collected because many things were not needed in the end and clues for puzzles were not helpful at all..Courtness312Version: 1.2.2

✓ DisappointingThe game is ok but I have got to a point where I was stuck so reverted to YouTube to work out what to do. The sequence was followed to the move on two different puzzles and neither worked so I have given up..D3GGYVersion: 1.2

✓ Very mixed reviews on this gamePros: it's a beautifully produced game with a good story and exquisite graphics in a nice 3D environment.... navigation works well.... there are lots of puzzles, superb attention to detail, and it's long. Cons: clues and puzzles are vague and everything is so spread out that the environment became a hindrance, and there's no map. So if, like me, you're not someone with a photographic memory for where everything is, you can spend lots of time just trying to find rooms that you've been in and want to return to. It's lovely that there are a lot of rooms but after a while it just became annoying. Some rooms only have one thing in them. I got so tired of going all over the place trying to remember where something was. I also agree with the reviewer who mentioned how there are numerous puzzles that require much work and end up only getting you an achievement... doing nothing to advance you in the game. Personally, I don't really care about achievements and each time this happened it was disappointing. I thought I'd had a breakthrough... but no. I could go on, but suffice it to say that the frustration level has surpassed the pleasure level. I'm exhausted and It's not fun anymore. Not sure if I even want to try to finish. This game, while beautiful in many ways, has worn me down..SuzshoVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Beautiful Graphics5 star graphics and interesting story, on an ipad the manipulation to move and interact with objects can be clunky and subtracts from game about half a star. What really botches the game is lack of map. Over an hr wasted in Chapter 1 moving back/forth and getting lost. Needs an option to engage a map to show you rooms/jump to them. Also needs an advanced/easy/hint mechanism. Normally I hate walk thru’s but needed to use twice in Chapter 1. Really excellent game ruined significantly due to lack of a map..Lili99999997979Version: 1.0.1

✓ The Eyes of AraAbsolute Rip Off Don’t Buy Apple keeps on taking your money out of your account for this game even after you delete game No support or help..DriftHawkVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Too Hard, Not Intuitive, TediousThe title says it all. Too much work, and too much tedious trial and error when solving puzzles, even if you know how they are to be solved. Not always clear when you solved something (missing feedback at times), leading to lots of running back and forth to check. No in-game clues, so have to depend on walkthroughs if stuck. Items do not disappear when picked up, so lots of wasted time picking up things you have seen before. Clues and such stay in inventory even after they are used and no longer relevant, creating bothersome clutter to pick through when reviewing clues. Requires advanced math and physics skills in some sense. Beautiful graphics, but long-winded narratives to read through, making the game a real slog. On some levels, just orienting yourself to move where you want to go can be a challenge. Often did not know which way I was facing, and spent many boring minutes just trying to get to a place I was before. I just wanted the game to be over at the end… having invested the time. As I write, I have only a few steps, and almost want to stop even then, because it is so tedious..Frequent FandagoerVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Very disappointedI purchesed this game and disappointed I have got to the gate room to solve the puzzle on the ceiling and cannot seem to go any further as I have tried many ways of fixing it Could the developer of this game pleas fix this issue with this part of the game.Smokeyjoe1971Version: 1.2.1

✓ No hints when stuckThe graphics are great and while I have not finished the game yet so far many times I am at a complete loss as what to do next. I have had to resort to online hints and actual walkthroughs to figure out what to do next. I was able to finish 2 of the Room games without doing this so I have some experience in playing games. A nudge in the right direction would be a great help sometimes. The puzzles seem to find this thing to do that but leaves me wondering how is this advancing the story or is their really a story behind the puzzle solving..OldgamespaulVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Cannot return to main room to get blue globesI have played this beautiful game four times and each time I get to the point where you take the stairs down from the other side of the second level, The game will not allow me to go downstairs and get the blue globe or to bring the shield to complete the puzzle that provides the other blue globe. The first game I was allowed to play all the way through until I was not able to access the final series of puzzles because I didn’t have all six globes to pass through the door. I assumed at some point I would be allowed through to finish the first puzzle but it never happened. The story is intriguing, the puzzles are challenging and the atmosphere is gorgeous. Just can’t finish the game and I can find no bug fixes or anyone else who has reported this problem. Too bad. It would have been a five star rating for me..Polonius MonkVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Too complicatedToo hard to be fun. Some places you can’t even zoom in, then you do something and the you can zoom in. Wouldn’t buy another from them. “The Room” is much better..Rtm rblVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Good game, third chapter is impossibly hardI got through the first two chapters without using cheats. Got to the third and I can’t even move in there without looking up cheats. And even then, it’s still super difficult. Some of the solutions are still making me scratch my head. If you download the game, enjoy the first two chapters but know it might be impossible to get to the end..NewlleyVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Very Hard Puzzle, You Will Need HelpThis was probably the hardest puzzle I’ve ever done. Frustrating at times, but somewhat fun. I got stuck a number of times and needed help from a walk through, which on past puzzles, I didn’t have to do that often. A lot of the clues were not that helpful. It was fun at times, but I really can’t recommend this puzzle. I’ll probably avoid anything from this developer in the future. Nice try though..Draff 8-29Version: 1.2.2

✓ I phone 11 notchThe notch on the screen hides some of the items on the left hand side !! Needs fixing !.StuydooyVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Disappointingly faultyI had high hopes for this game, however am unable to proceed past an early stage in the game and it has become a little tedious already. After solving the generator puzzle, I am unable to insert it into the generator, and am therefore stuck in that room. I contacted the developers for help, but have not received a reply yet. Seeking a refund for this app..Lara_Rome0Version: 1.5.0

✓ Very nice, but buggy - Tech support requestedI love adventure games, especially those with great graphics and interesting puzzles. This does not disappoint in that regard. However, several puzzles were very glitchy (specifically the roating discs to untangle a painting) and more importantly one in which it prevents me from going further in the game (the planets in planetarium do not turn on/off or activate.) The story is interesting and engaging and for the most part the puzzles are challenging without being too frustrating. I agree with some reviews that question why some puzzles are necessary for advancement but do not yield anything but coins or trinkets which are inconsequential otherwise. Overall, great game. ...Just wish I could advance to finish. (Played on an iPad Air).AikiUserVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Too hard!It has been a long time that I have been writing a review but feel compelled to do so this time. I really enjoy puzzle games like the room series for example and was so excited about this one... at first! I do think that I am pretty decent at solving puzzles and enjoy it, but in this particular game I got extremely frustrated and then ended up playing it with the walkthrough and STILL having a hard time!!! WIth all this back and forth and sometimes not even knowing if you did a puzzle correctly, because the effect of it is somewhere totally different - I finally gave up on finding all the little “extras” and just wanted to at least finish the game - ahhh... bad idea, because you can’t finish the game it seems if you don’t get every single darn coin, photo, and warrior figurine! If you want to play a ridiculously hard game - then this is for you, otherwise I cannot recommend it..BiancardVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Very disappointingAfter playing the Room series & Davinci house this is very poor. I’m quite disappointed that I had to pay for this. If you completely new to these games it will be ok but the level of interaction compared to the others is simply poor. Also you have no free movement...you land up tapping your screen all over randomly to try find something you don’t even know you need. No logic in puzzles or problem solving. Seen many lower quality graphics escape rooms better than this. I have deleted this game & lost my money.MarvelmanJasVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Love the app but there’s a glitch on newest releaseLove the app, but there’s a glitch on the newest release and I can’t find a place on your site for assistance. In the study, there are 6 symbols on the ceiling, no matter how many times I enter them correctly (I have the symbols from the book and even looked online to make sure I wasn’t mistaken), nothing happens. I’m basically dead in the water and resetting the game at this point would be beyond annnoying..Nightsky1800Version: 1.2.1

✓ Trop compliquéTrop sombre Pas d’indices Dommage Ce jeu est trop compliqué à élucider.Sylbru1960Version: 1.2.2

✓ A bit of a chore. Clever and beautiful but not as enjoyable as it could be.I love these types of games but this one has some frustrating problems. It is beautiful and clever, but vague and spread out, no hints or a map, and some of the puzzles are ridiculous. It’s also too dark and buggy; my collected items and pages kept disappearing for no reason, coming back only upon restart. Unless you love running around somewhat disoriented in near darkness a great deal, pixel hunting ad nauseam for every morsel of info, this game will feel more like a chore. It would be far more enjoyable if the creators would add some ambient lighting, the occasional hint, and fix the bugs. As it is, it is nearly impossible to complete without a walkthrough. On the plus side, it is also lengthy and original. But for god’s sake, add a map!.NickNeiimVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Very boring gameVery slow and uninteresting. Tedious and a waste of money..DeeganJuniorVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Way to complicatedI’ve played tons of these games but this one is way too complicated. The graphics are beautiful and I wanted to like this game. I ended up deleting after finishing about half of it. Even with a walkthrough I couldn’t get it. The biggest issue is movement. A lot of these puzzles require you to go back and forth between multiple rooms. So you to the hallway and now there are five doors that look exactly the same. And some of those doors lead to more doors. So it’s super tedious to remember which door you need to go to and which one to go back to. Some of the puzzles didn’t need to be solved to move on, so I wasted time on those. The other annoying thing is the coins and photos you collect which seem to be worthless. You finally solve a puzzle you think will help you move on and it’s a couple of worthless coins. A better mapping system would help so you could open a map and move directly to the room would help. Either way started forcing myself to play bc I paid for it only to get annoyed quickly and frankly not caring about it at all. Beautiful graphics though..DzombieVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Puzzles are too difficult to solve on your own!If anyone can finish this without a walkthrough, they must be a mad genius!! And have a lot of time on their hands, because it would take ages to figure out the solutions based on the so called “clues” provided to you. I’m rather disappointed because the storyline surrounding the castle is really interesting (i.e I love reading all the hidden notes!!) and the graphics are beautiful, but the tediousness and frustration I have trying to solve everything made me stop playing not even halfway through. I play games to relieve frustration, not get more of it!.Lexyd1092Version: 1.0.1

✓ Trop difficileImpossible de faire ce jeu sans aller chercher des solutions. Plusieurs casses-têtes et sections ne sont vraiment pas intuitifs. Au début ça va mais ça devient de plus en plus difficile. Le graphique est très beau et j’ai quand même joué jusqu’à la fin en basculant de temps en temps vers les indices sur Internet. Si on le compare à The Room ou à Da Vinci House, il est aussi beau graphiquement mais vraiment impossible à faire sans aide..BrumeuseVersion: 1.2.1

✓ StuckMight have been a nice game, but after 10 minutes I lost ability to pan back so effectively stuck in one scene. gave up as no help available online. i’m playing on ipad. so others might have more luck on a different device..MS honey beeVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Review...Wicked graphics and gameplay for the first 80% of the game. But the ending became way too annoying for both me and my husband, which is highly unusual since we love these type of games, and so unfortunately we watched the walkthrough to see the ending. Would have rathered more of a variety of puzzles along the way than continuously being required to zero in on constellation type details. Would love to see a part 2 with more variety because the core operation of the game was great!.CinzzoVersion: 1.2.2

✓ HELP!!Great game but when I got to putting the smaller and smaller paintings into the big one, the notebook kept opening instead of choosing the paintings, so restarted my phone. Success with the paintings, but lost ALL my inventory and collections. Start all over again? iPhone XS iOS 14.3 btw..Turkey SlippersVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Hate to disagreeI don’t like to disagree however this isn’t anywhere as near as good as any of The Room series or House of DaVinci, or indeed a fair few other games out there. And it’s for the simple reason that there is absolutely NO logic in some of these puzzles. Also you have no idea when collecting multiples of items whether you’ve collected them all. The graphics, whilst good, cause their own issues and make it difficult to distinguish between something of interest or just blocky graphics. It reminded me of those dungeon trawling games from the 90s!! There are NO hints at all in the game so if you get really stuck you’re on your own kiddo. And if you’re rubbish at certain styles of puzzles like me I’ve yet to find an “ohh ffs I just can’t do this, help me out” button. I’ve been stuck on one puzzle for hours and I know I won’t be able to do it, I never can do those ones so I’m really stuck. I can see what was trying to be achieved but the end product looks rushed, unpolished and not much thought given to the end user. Frustrating and hard work to just keep randomly stumbling about hoping you’ll find something. When you’re relying on a walkthrough rather than the flow and workings of the game then i don’t think I’ll bother. If you enjoyed the room then you’ll be sadly disappointed..SplotsmumVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Unable to continueWas really enjoying the game, but got to room in which I have spent hours trying to click on everything, It’s a dead end. used the walkthrough videos and the items in the videos do not appear in the room. Hints would be very helpful, disappointed with my purchase..JacquimgraVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Work NeededI expected from the reviews and cost this would be a better developed game. It is very one dimensional. Graphics are ok, not great. Not even close to the quality of ‘The Room’. As a player you are zoomed-in to the area the gamer needs you to go in order to solve the next puzzle. I collect 4 snapshots, it only records 2. The coin count is also off. Why have multiple generator panels in the entryway? It appears it is just unnecessary busy-tasks to give the impression the player is achieving something. Obvious direction it, to obvious tasks. The game story however is interesting. Not worth the cost. Very boring..EilliannVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Needs some workI’m 45 minuets in, I’ve spent the past half hour going up and down stairs fiddling around with some lasers looking for some way forward, but I’m game endingly stuck. This game needs a hint system or at least some clues at to what to do next. I’ve tried interacting with everything possible, I’ve tried using the dagger doohickey to do something, anything, but I’m over it. I’m not spending anymore more time on this Myst rehash. Overall I’d say this game was a waste of money, buy The Room instead. It’s a far superior game on every level with the added benefit of helpful clues and a progressive hint system..ForestcrunkVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Doesn’t work well with iPhone 8 PlusI really enjoy the exploration experience of this game. I am frustrated by its failure to work well on my phone. There are a number of situations where objects collected are used to open puzzles. The Sabre (properly configured) took many attempts to engage the clock dial. I’ve now collected all six green gems but after trying multiple times to use them in the dial, which clearly has a ring of matching receptors, I still cannot get them to work. These problems completely destroy the ability to enjoy playing this game. iPhone 8 users beware. Maybe a newer phone would work….. I’ve given up and am writing of the money spent to a learning experience!.Fisher 4 TroutVersion: 1.2.2

✓ No hints?Where are the in-game hints. Stuck and can’t move forward. Was about to uninstall but remembered I actually paid for this. Not impressed so far..AuntypizzaVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Crap gameSome clues I would have never found if not for walk throughs. Puzzles are not intuitive. Controls are bad. Can’t listen to music with the game open on my phone even with audio turned off..Steph HearnVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Disappointing for the priceFor the amount I paid for this game I expected something along the lines of ‘The Room’ Trilogy but instead wasted my money on an expensive mimic that isn’t nearly as good. The idea is there but was not well done..The Ruby RoseVersion: 1.0.1

✓ If only I could complete first roomThe yellow orb I’m suppose to find in the closet? Isn’t there on my iPad app. Other then that, it’s an awesome game, but as OCD as I am, I can’t move on without finishing level one and I will never be able to. Sad emoji face.ConzackVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Great game but ..It was torture to finish, so much useless navigating to and fro, drove me crazy, games should slide at completion, not become algebra...Ralph ZeroVersion: 1.2.1

✓ VolumeI started to play, the graphics were great, but then I’m not picky. For me the important part is the volume(it helps set the scene) and the puzzles. Well, the intro was silent, I thought, maybe this is just the way the opening scene is, but then it continued. I would love to place this, but I like music and sound effects when I’m playing a game. It doesn’t matter what it is, music sets it up. Without the sound, it’s a boring video. Maybe, if the problem was fixed. I’d finish playing, as it stands, I’m disappointed that I paid for something I won’t be using..Kaye KaseahVersion: 1.5.0

✓ Horrible game, get better gameplay somewhere elseFirst of all there’s no hints system so if you get stuck you HAVE to cheat and look it up online, Second you keep getting stuck because the puzzles are not explained in the tutorial, in fact the tutorial does practically nothing to explain any part of the game. sometimes the puzzles are the total opposite of what you think they are and it’s really frustrating when you spend so long on them and turns out you’ve been doing it totally wrong this whole time. THIS IS WHY YOU NEED THE HINT SYSTEM. Most annoying thing I find is that besides the main mechanics of the game there are collectibles which makes the game so much more hard and so much less rewarding, she works so hard but you still didn’t even complete the actual game in the end. And last of all the mechanics are horrible, if you want a good compelling game worth five dollars buy the room. This game would greatly benefit from a hint system since the storyline is actually compelling and interesting, but the often times confusing puzzles and mechanics of the game get in the way of that and ruin the experience..Lush widthVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not impressedPaid for the games and it froze on me. Couldn’t do anything. Wasted my money.MewareoVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Beautifully flawedThe game itself is beautiful, and the puzzles are all well made. The only issue I’ve come across is that sometimes the “clues” for the puzzles are a bit.....weak. For example there is a hexagonal puzzle box, you find a scrap of paper with the same symbols (that is your clue), but ALL of the symbols have been crossed out except two. So really the clue is for 2 pieces the rest is trial and error. For reasons like this I think the game could be well served with a hint system, similar to The Room. I love games like this, and I always recommend the good ones to friends. As it stands now (I’m not yet done with the game), I’d have a hard time doing so. I will certainly update the review if my opinion changes. One thing I will say, the fact that this game is the work of one man is truly remarkable!.RaidParadeVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Good game but tortuousLots of puzzles to solve but a lot are so obscure that you can’t really solve them without hints. Lots and lots of doorways so easy to get lost. Really needs a map so you can navigate and fast travel. Lots of pointless collectables. You spend ages trying to solve something only to get coins or a photo which are pointless. Detracts from the game. All this made the game too arduous. Good have been good.BerryskudVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Fiddly and FrustratingThey were making much better games of this format 20 years ago. Looks nice and feels open world at first, but you’re quickly locked into one boxy puzzle area at a time. Nothing makes any sense, for example a lever built into the wall opens a wooden chest that is resting on a chair. You try to navigate through a doorway and you load in the middle of a room with no idea where you came from and you’ve passed loads of things of interest in your way. There is also a loading lag when zooming out. It’s no wonder it took someone 30 hours to complete..Lou191Version: 1.5.0

✓ Way to glitchyHad to start over 3 times -beach time I was farther in. But things that should have happened didn’t. For instance I found all 3 stars for Orion, but only had 2 in my inventory and when I went back to all 3 places I found them, they weren’t there, had to start over. Then the second level I had a problem with the cherub puzzles, the picture of the horses and warriors were supposed to collapse into a mechanism to open the boxes, but didn’t. Had to start over AGAIN. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!.Mjk6stringVersion: 1.2.2
