The Secret of Raven Rock App Reviews

Like everyone else is saying, I, too, wish there were more apps like this. The puzzles range in difficulty, and you have to revisit certain puzzles after you find the right objects for them elsewhere in the game. Reminds me of myst. Perfect for people who enjoy puzzle adventure games without tedious hidden object scenes.

Cant turn off music so I had to mute the entire game. No skip function to avoid the tedious, old-fashioned slide-blocks-to-form-picture puzzles. I have no idea what the story line is. Very linear - cant even attempt puzzles before finding clues. Lots of useless info when you click on non-functional things. Graphics are fair, navigation jerky on my iPad Air 2.

A bit too many hints but well done game.

I love adventure games and the game mechanics in this one had some nice variants. However, there were too many slide-pieces-around-to-make-a-picture puzzles and there is no skip. Those puzzles were tedious at best and in one case positively buggy as the pieces wouldnt stay where I put them. Better navigation and better way to keep track of what has and has not been done would be nice too. The story ended without a proper resolution but that only made me realize I had long since forgotten the premise and was just wandering around exploring and solving puzzles as they were presented. In other words, this isnt really an adventure game. It is just a puzzle game and, ultimately, not that good of one.

Liked the game , but not some of the puzzles , the hints are vague, at best , so you have to trial and error to continue , overall cool game , would like to see more .

the graphics are quite amazing, in a retro 1990s kind of way. which is exactly what Im looking for...Im lovin it. also Ive never played a puzzle game where it actually utilizes your devices feature like the accelerometer. extremely unique and nothing quite like it. I would so love to see a sequel, it really deserves it. also a shout-out to Hidden World and The Lost City. Peace

Really enjoyed this point & click and I sure hope theres a sequel as the game leaves you hanging in the end. $1.99 price was perfect, gameplay was smooth, good graphics, no glitches, and not too simple. Good transport map, fun puzzles except those darn slide puzzles!! And OMG that flip puzzle at the end was tough...took me half a day to solve..finally got it only to get no answers! Sequel is a must.

This game Would get 5 stars if it werent for the "playing the piano" part... I just cant get it!!

Yes, the scenery is lovely. And the 3D movement is immersive. Hence the 2-stars. But after playing a bit more into the game...there are a few things that make this game difficult and not enjoyable. 1) slide puzzles. I mean really? How many do we need? All types of slide puzzles (including the square and ring types) are tedious and not many people enjoy them. At least give us a skip option. 2) the requires access to your camera. The bottle of poison needs to be mixed green. How could we possibly know that we have to aim our camera at something around our home that is green? Thats impossible to guess. And I had to look up the walkthrough. 3) the chess puzzle. Another difficult and tedious one...considering you have to clear 55moves. And again, i needed another walkthrough cheat. By this point, Im done referring to walkthroughs just to get through the mini-puzzles. I have given up on the game. I would request a refund but it is outside the time frame allowed for refunds. Btw...Im not the only person who has mentioned these problems. I suggest people pass this one up and save their money. At least until the developer makes some changes.

Perfect point and click fun for only .99c. And the final flip puzzle was one of the hardest ones Ive played in a very long time. Frustrating, but satisfying when you finally get done!

I love the graphics on this game!

I would to see a sequel

There’s a lot of good in this, but there are some problems that are serious enough I quite right before the end. There are at least two square slider puzzles and two circular slider puzzles and two "magic square" puzzles (all add up to the same sum). Then I got to what I suspect is the very last puzzle and it was yet another slider puzzle. Granted, it had an interesting twist (flip the pieces instead of slide them), but I was so tired of getting the same kind of puzzles over and over I just didn’t want to deal with another slider puzzle again. (I hate them!) There’s also no way to skip such puzzles. Also, there’s one puzzle where the clues is a sequence of 20 directions to move. The problem is you cannot move several steps, check the clue, then move a few more. The movement has to be done all at once. That’s not so much a challenge as it is a major frustration and pain in the neck. The piano puzzle is difficult if you don’t have full hand movement. I was dealing with RSI in a wrist at the time, and that’s why I was taking a break and playing games and reading for a few days and I couldn’t do the piano puzzle without pain because it required multiple touches at once. Along with that was a maze puzzle that made me have to shift around and, again, deal with the wrist issue, so I could play the maze. Please, developers, don’t give us mini-arcade games in adventure games. It’s not always easy for us to change modes and sometimes we pick adventure games because, due to injury or disability, we can’t play the other kind of games. The game is beautiful, with great graphics, but as you near the end, it becomes clear the big mystery is very much a deus ex machina that doesn’t fit with the rest of the story. This could be a great game if the puzzles were fixed. It’s too bad the developers stuck with so many copies of a few puzzles!
