Review summary

The Haunted House app is praised for its engaging horror-themed storyline, good graphics, and challenging puzzles with multiple endings. However, many users face difficulties due to limited English translation and the need for Chinese language knowledge to solve puzzles. Frequent ads and technical glitches such as ad failures and chapter loading issues detract from the experience. Despite these shortcomings, the game's offline play and immersive voiceover make it enjoyable for fans of escape room mysteries.

Pros

Engaging horror-themed escape room game with an exciting storyline and good graphics.
Offline playability is a plus for uninterrupted gaming.
Challenging puzzles that provide a rewarding experience for players.
Multiple endings enhance replayability.
Voiceover and immersive storyline add to the game's appeal.

Cons

Limited or poor English translation and subtitles make it difficult for non-Chinese players to progress.
Some puzzles require knowledge of Chinese characters, causing barriers for international users.
Frequent ads required to skip puzzles or gain coins, which disrupts gameplay experience.
Technical issues such as ads not playing correctly and chapters failing to load.
Pricing inaccuracies and errors in puzzle details reduce user satisfaction.

2023-04-18	La*****	It's hard to play when some words aren't in English, but Google translate helped out in those situations. Challenging game. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be looking into the other games offered by 99key. Thanks!

2023-03-22	Po*****	When I first downloaded the game, I was quite enjoying the graphics and storyline until the puzzles came up. The puzzles are so hard to understand as I don't know Chinese, but somehow I made through the first chapter by watching walkthroughs but the second chapter just won't load as I'm not able to watch ads to get coins. Please fix the issue.

2023-02-15	Re*****	Not enough English. There is very limited English translation in this game and it's not enough to be able to do a lot of the puzzles. Some I had to skip, which requires coins (so either watch a ton of ads or buy them) sometimes I was able to use Google translate. If it weren't for that, I'd give 5 ✨. But that's a huge hinderance. If u don't know Chinese, it's impossible to play without help.

2023-01-11	Xi*****	Some of the puzzle require some Chinese knowledge, spend me some time to google and solve it. There a translation error on the pricing of vase/glass cup. Overall it is a very well done entertaining game. There is voiceover. The story line is excellent. And there are different ending. Would love to play such games again.

2023-01-08	Cc*****	Even you got the mini game right, you are still not able to get through it until you press skip (which means you have to watch 2 ads) and the Chinese dynasty timelines for the 6 ancient pieces, the answer is not accurate, please review. Will recommend to play Paper Bride instead for players who like this type of Chinese puzzles
