Built like a console game, but there isn't controller support. Trying to control the character and camera on a phone screen is not really practical the way they had it set up. It looks so good, I just wish I could actually play it. Disabling camera movement would ironically make this significantly more playable.

Did I just pay nearly $10 dollars to remove ads and didn't? The game is great, has storyline and minu pizzles fun to solve. Graphics and smoothness of their movements are amazing. But. Every door you open, every character you speak to, every thing you interact with gives you an ad that you can't skip. Then there goes your salvation, pay to remove ads and play ad-less. But does it really remove them? NO. Don't waste your money, it does not help you with the ads situation.

The game has an interesting start unfortunately, every time I answered puzzles my phone would buzz, which I do NOT like (I didn't see an turn off option). THE BIGGEST DOWNSIDE was the constant ads, really takes away from the plot, puzzles and game. The movement of the character could use some work as well, sometimes while walking the view will turn 180, and the walking isn't as smooth as I've seen from other similar games. (Running is ok.)
