Paranormal Files 13: Detective

Hhhh

How dare you give us a game that takes up a tiny sliver of our iPad screens! The game looks like it was created for a phone instead, and you were too cheap to create a full-screen version for tablets. If you keep this trend up, you will not be around much longer, because my population of iOS gamers won’t purchase games that have tiny graphics, and are not full-screen. Your target demographic is women age 55 and over, and eyesight plays a huge factor. They cannot make out the text, and playing both HO scenes and mini-games is a nightmare! Remember IMAX Interactive, once known as ERS? Well, they faded into obscurity, and if you keep up your trend of creating games more cheaply and shoddily, you won’t be around for long. Remember, I have clout and a review team. They will not purchase a game if it is not full-screen, and fewer purchases mean lower revenues, which will eventually lead to no more Elephant! 😡 What a pity! This was a fabulous game if not for the issue with the gameplay interface. It was lengthy, scary but exciting, had some very innovative inventory tools, creative HO scenes and mini-games. If it had been a full-screen game, I would have rated it 4.5 stars. The deduction would have been for lack of touchscreen sensitivity on the gameplay interface, as well as hindrances faced during mini-games. Some of them functioned improperly. However, playing on such a tiny screen was torture on my eyes, (I have cataracts) and I will not reward Elephant in the least. First they took away the zoom feature, and now they are creating the games so tiny that it’s nearly impossible to play! It’s obvious that they are trying to save money, but they don’t realize that they will lose revenue if the players can’t see the game well enough to play it!

Found this game to be scary. Not a fan of that
