User Reviews

An enthusiastic nostalgia piece: a faithful yet buggy iOS port of Advent; praised for nostalgia, auto-saving, scrollback, and keyboard support, but plagued by crashes and gameplay bugs (water/plant issues, candle/rose puzzles), non-working commands, and version confusion. Many want the original 350-point option or a separate version, and some desire visuals. Overall, beloved by fans of the classic, but reliability and consistency need polish.

Pros

Nostalgic, faithful recreation of the classic Advent (Crowther/Malmberg variants).
Solid iOS port with automatic saving and scrollback features, preserving the feel of the original.
External keyboard support helps with typing commands on iOS devices.
Free to download and accessible for fans to try.
Attention to detail in the port (background image, text handling) and overall port quality.

Cons

Widespread bugs and crashes, including memory instability and hangs that affect gameplay.
Specific gameplay bugs: water-in-pitcher/plant-watering issues, candle problems in the crypt, and rose puzzle not working.
Start/play issues: disabled play button or not starting, and input focus problems hindering gameplay.
Version fragmentation and dissatisfaction with upgrades: many users want the original 350-point version or an option to choose between versions.
Some commands (SAVE/RESTORE/NOTIFY/HELP) don’t work or don’t persist as expected.

I mean the game is fun, if this was released today it would definitely use ai in some way, but the game is kind of confusing. Also what is with the random photo of that person with like minnie mouse slippers at the beginning?

Play button fixed, but still can’t water the plant with bottle of water, unless I am doing something wrong. I’ve tried every command and even tried to use the stone pitcher.
