Crashes wayyyyyy to often
Update: (June 13) I removed it again from my phone... I then left it removed for all of yesterday. I reinstalled it this morning and Im happy to say that I got through the first cut-scene but the second chapter start one that I was having trouble with before... In fact, I just now am at the point where you wake up in the desert. So try that to all the peoples who be crashing: uninstall, wait a day, then reinstall. Lame but it worked for me. You now get three stars and I will re-rate higher once I complete, provided it doesnt cause me any more grief.
Update: (June 11) After the update you guys released, I made it to the part where they are talking about how filthy the crucifix is.... And then CRASH! I dont think yall fixed it after all. Also, just removed from my phone (losing all data) and reinstalled... CRASHED on the first cutscene... You fixed nothing.
I got a new iPhone 5 on the 5th. I purchased this app yesterday the 6th (June 2013).
First impressions about this game got me excited. Second impressions got me even more excited.
Now Ive just about had it with this game. Ive had to watch the same cutscenes numerous times throughout gameplay. Like another review, the game freezes and then the phone restarts. It is the most aggravating thing I can imagine happening in a game where you are forced to watch cutscenes.
Currently, after figuring out the hospital and finally escaping, a cutscene happens that must be near 5 mins but I couldnt tell you for sure because no matter what, at some point, it crashes my phone. Ive tried pressing the home button twice and clearing out all the background noise as well as plugging my phone into the wall hoping that would work... It didnt. Then finally I get to the words indicating the next chapter has begun (after watching the cutscene 6 times or so) and Im thinking, "finally! It probably saves the game when that happens so I dont have to watch this bleeping cutscene again!" Nope...
The next scene begins with another cutscene at the smithsonian or some museum and Wham! The game crashes and I have to start back at the bloody hospital, and will have to endure the seemingly endless cutscene again with my phone most likely crashing again.
Other games work fine... Not this one.
Suggestion: make the cutscenes skip-able or create more save points in them so after watching something for 5 mins I dont have to do it again because the developers over-extended the resources of the phone in regards to this game.
Im just a little ticked off because not only did I invest $5 on this but Ive invested my time and thats worth way more.
Thanks for a great concept and terrible execution of that concept. For shame.
I want my money back.
