Murder by Choice: Mystery Game

loveee it

this game is

so easy to lose energy life

a little weak in the middle of things but excellent,exciting,dramatized 😄

I just started, but not bad a game so far

fun and easy to learn

loved it . reminded me of criminal case

ok

The game is good, but the amount of energy you need for simple tasks is outrageous. I didn't play for 9 hours and my energy was only halfway refilled. I played for less than 10 minutes and I was out of energy already. How was I at 132 energy after that long and each item in a search game takes 5 or more energy? I understand in-app purchases are how game companies stay alive, but it's not worth spending any money if you burn energy this fast. Really disappointing.

great game

The game gives 200 energy that refills in 1 day but is used up in tasks within 5 mins then the game begs for 700Rs daily for just 200 energy which is unreasonable or you have to wait for 1 day. It will probably take a couple of years to complete the game.

it's awesome

awwsome

nice game

i cannot play for how many days now, i am on the part where carla and ruben are on the abandoned house solving the puzzle on the box place on top of the well. the box cannot be tap nor selected so i cannot move on. done uninstalling then installed again, force stop and clear cache, but still it does not work.

that was a wonderful fun game. Im waiting on the second one coming

FREE FUN ! Great graphics and I am loving the storyline.

super 💯

more attractive

adorable game its so entertaining and realistic 5 stars

this game is definitely a good mystery

Great game 🤩 Ads are fast and don't really disrupt the game play. I like that it the story has audio so I can listen to the characters and their different voices. this is unique because games like love island that use similar formats doesn't offer audio except the same music. so this game is amazing!

Interesting and fun with a bit of adequate challenge. Perfecto

✌✌👍👍🎀🎀💅

Updating: We're getting frustrated with how much it costs to play the game. You get 200 energy points per day, but they're gone in 10 minutes of gameplay. Buying energy is way too expensive; we've spent $40-50 so far, and are nowhere near the end. It's a fun game, and we're enjoying it so far. The character accents add a few grins. It's nice to have different choices that can affect the outcome. It might be nice to add more exploration options so the game isn't quite so directed.

The story is immersive and the graphics are great. Gives you decision making through the story. the sad part is the energy. without purchasing, you can hardly play much. every conversation, mini game action consumes charge and even 100 gets consumed quickly. If you are ready to purchase, pls go ahead and enjoy the game. I watched atleast 30-40 ads a day and since I didn progess much, had to uninstall in frustration.

Played it alot but it's a shame from the recent update having technical issues I cannot even load the game anymore

Great programming and art, and the voice acting is also good. Very entertaining and well done! unfortunately there is a car race mini game that does not respond well to swipes or taps without a stylus, this will cause most players a lot of aggravation leading to the game being uninstalled. There will be no fix as this has been a common mention for years.

I partly played this game a few years ago and wondered why I ever stopped, tonight I realized why. There's a scene where you pick up the Admirals knife, my screen freezes and suddenly I remember that years ago this is the exact spot this happened before. Completely different device and different account but still the same freezing point. The screen pops up to collect the knife and nothing is tappable anymore. I love this game so much but why is this happening.

I really love this game

very fun thankyou

Game's a lot of fun. Story is well done and hidden object search is challenging. Also, love the ability to alter the story with decisions. I just wish it didn't take so much energy to play, you use energy watching a story, not completing a challenge.

4 stars for the energy that you have to wait for. But I finished the game and I'm waiting for part 2

I have the chisel & microchip put it disappeared now I cannot progress in the game the is no device on the wall game crashed after completing the task and it kicked me out. I have contacted support & sent a video but still no help still the same problem

LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE

Phenomenal

waste game

good

it's very captivating 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

fun,brain twister, challenging

This game doesn't open up, I've downloaded it twice now hoping that the problem may've been solved by now but no, it's still not opening, I see you seem to get back to reviews that praise the game but not when there's a technical issue, I downloaded this game again three months later hoping that something may have been sorted but still it won't open on my phone

Good so far. Just started playing but I'm having fun!

due to energy. Wait, yaar, but the game is okay, but energy kuch karo

I like the game really and the puzzles sometimes it doesn't make sense but then you get it anyway 🤔🤔🤔

it doesn't even work. all I get is just a blank screen.

I love the game

loved it so much

It is so interesting till the end I could not figure out the killer the clues and hints where there but at the end I had a hunch and it came true but still the game was so mysterious the setting the voice acting were top tier quality But i do have a complaint the in-game tasks where way too long and boring at some times but still overall great game 🔥

nice game

Not worth it. Free play cost too much energy just for just a few minutes play on such short tasks, mainly spent on conversation, and can only progress a little on the story at a time.

the game freezes after finding objects

doesn't let you explore or figure things out on your own. the tutorial is unskippable and will force you into moving to the next area. if you take too long it will just highlight the next step. I'm not sure what the point of a puzzle game that won't let you solve the puzzles yourself is. maybe this game is meant for young children? seems odd since the main plot seems to be a murder

fantastic game

It's cool

get an I'd get 100 in energy, but I never received it

Hi to any NordCurrent developers, I am very happy to play this game much,the visuals, the comics, and voice of the character gives me enthusiasm! I need to tell you for the update! I have finished playing chapter 1, and I hope I can get any good news from chapter 2, I need to hear an answer tq, bcuz I hear many old players had been waiting for chapter 2 for 4 years oredi! If can I want to hear your response for the new chapter updates pls tq!

very very strict 😕 and stupidest game

Fun game, my 2nd time playing it. I guess no 2nd part because its been over 2 years since I last played it and the last update was 10/28/25. Check out their similar game: "Murder in the Alps"

good

Good storyline, good animation, good soundtrack, good controls. But you have to watch 3 ads to get 1 hint and wait 7 minutes to refill 1 energy unit, which is the major downside. In addition, I would have liked to see the Hidden Object quest end as soon as the desired object is found, instead of continuing to find every unnecessary thing. The choice to penalise random tapping during the Hidden Object quest with 10 energy points is atrocious

very interesting game enjoying it so far

so far, so good. Great storyline.

fun but,interesting!

I love this game it's so fun and not to challengeing

energy depletion

love it 😀

good game

it's ridiculous I tried multiple time but again again server problem appear

great game

it's amazing... it's interesting and entertaining as well... I've never played game like this before. it's 10/10 👍🏻💯

I really love the game

please make the energy increase when we play game

could be a way to get more nits with out watchibg adds

such a good game to play, im loving it. One thing i would like for you guys to improve is the energy bar, it runs out and you dont get to play very long. maybe make some things that take for example 10 of energy, make it 5, and so on. maybe for certain actions it doesnt need much energy or none at all, that way we are able to play longer and not run out of energy longer. I would also say for the energy bar, make it more than it is now. Instead of the 200, make it 500 or 1000 to last us longer.

Very good game

Great game. It's relaxing

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING AND FUN GAME

very bad game please you don't download it very bad and this very only one story very bad game

next update waiting from 5 months please response

good game i love it

nice play games wonderful and so many puzzle hehe

Charge up of energy is extremely slow

SO GOOD I REALLY LIKE IT

If u like mistery and solving problems.. This game it's for u... Too bad its an online game 😫 I could really love it if, It wasn't an online game.

Amazing art and voice acting + good storyline, i love the interactive puzzles and finding collectables. My only problem is that just interacting with a scene or person cost 40-50 energy and each click of solving a puzzle cost 5 energy. It also takes 7 mins to refill just 1 energy so it will take 29 hours just to refill the energy bar to spend it all with 5-10 mins. The game has no ads but you will be tempted to spend big money just to buy energy to progress more with the story

I have completed the full game. When will the next chapter will be introduced.iam eagerly waiting to play next chapter.Really happy to play this game. When will the next chapter will be introduced. When will the New Chapter begin Wedding bells story. Eagerly waiting to play the new game.shall i play this game from starting

Great concept, but it is impossible to play more than few minutes a day, if you don't pay for energy. It takes hours to collect energy and most tasks are consuming half of what you've collected during the day. One of those things should be fixed, eather you get 1 energy for one minute or you don't spend 40+ energy points on one unimportant conversation.

I enjoyed the story and game, however the cost to play is slightly expensive

I love the game. I just hate how fast the energy goes with each move. you get 200 energy and the only way to get more is to buy it, other wise wait a whole day.

The game is so realistic and challenging. I love to play this game very much .

great game, but horrible energy consumption rate.

excellent

Loved this mystery sometimes dragged on for no reason

Very interactive, amazing visuals, engaging and fun puzzles and overall a wonderful game

wow, I got so captivated in just the first few seconds.

good

noice

love these type of interactive games so so much😍

I really enjoy playing this game a lot, however, several chapters in I hit a game breaking glitch. While the support team was quick to respond to my submission they have not done anything (that I am aware of) to fix the glitch. It has over 2 weeks since the glitch occured.

great game and graphics but it lags in the finding part !!

This game is actually really good, the story line is fantastic, and it's surprisingly not pay to win! It makes you take a break to really draw out the game which you CAN pay to stop if like a book you want to just keep going, because the story is just THAT good, you want to know what happens next, and by the time you finish the game (because yes there IS an end!) you're going to wish there was more! Please make a second MBC!!

I love hidden object games. My favorite are the Five BN game series's that they have. This is different, but I really liked it. Once I figured out I could look for collection items and get energy from getting the sets completed without having to have energy, I played it more. It took me a while to finish it but was glad bc I really enjoyed it. Waiting for part 2 still tho.

I love this game a lot, BUT I haveee to mention the fact that you can only maaaybbee play a few minutes a day unless you wanna spend a good chunk of money. Your energy bar runs out super fast, which is frustrating. So every 3 days you can maybe get 15 min of play in at the most? It sucks, I wish I could play longer. The game is fun and interesting, just. Yeah. Sucks having to basically ignore it for a long time until you can finally play a small amount. But the storyline is fantastic I want more

This is an edit to my original review. Before, I had 5 stars and hyped it up, but that was just getting started. As play progresses, the energy value gets ridiculous. Takes 24 hours to get to 200 points and some of the tasks take 50 on their own. It takes 20 points for some tasks and then 10 more to pick up the item at the end of that task and then other 10 to set it on a table to look at and 20 more to actually look at it. Game also wastes energy if you double tap. 24 hrs for 5 min of play

The energy system needs serious rework. Waiting almost 24 hours for 2 minutes of play time is getting ridiculous. I've already gotten free energy from playing other games and following on Facebook, but that really only let's you play for a few extra minutes. It shouldn't cost all of your energy for a short bit of dialog or even handing something to a character.

After playing several days, I am revising my rating to 2 stars. The game is fun, but it's a money grab. You need energy to do anything in this game and lots of it, but the max you can accumulate is 200 a day. You search the same areas multiple times. The story is interesting, but never ending. I broke down and bought energy instead of watching the endless videos to get free energy, but 2000 energy was consumed in less than an hour. Don't waste your time. It gets really old fast.

I had to change my rating from toggling between 5 or 4 stars, to settling on 2. The game does have a great storyline and engaging play with choices, mini games and read aloud/voice dialogue. I have spent my own, real money to continue playing. It's honestly ridiculous and unfair how quickly the energy goes. You have to use energy in the hidden objects, continuing dialogue, actions; with days to get back it's so greedy and makes it almost impossible to enjoy the game anymore 😞

Much more interactive than the hidden object story games I've played in the past...a reasonably competent cast of voice actors for the characters, and a fair attempt at a plot line so far. I've only played the first few sections, so too soon to tell what the final rating will be; but so far so good! --Follow up: all good until I got stuck on the stupid joystick type mini-game, & no option to skip - I hate those! Have completely stopped playing, no patience for that kind of aggravation!

Each correct selection costs 20 energy (compared to 5 for five-bn and artifex mundi games). If you select too fast (4+) you are penalized 10 energy. I paid for a $4.99 special for 1100 energy+3 and hints only to see the energy plummet as it ran out within an hr. As far as i can see, there is no way to earn more hints without paying for them. Energy replenishes very slowly, and only up to 200 max, which allows you 10 choices to advance in the game. Beware, some actions dock you 50 pts.

I downloaded this game after playing Murder in Alps, my husband and I play them after the kids to bed to unwind. It did not disappoint! It is a decently long(but not too long) game. The story line was engaging, I love that we can make decisions on which direction the story is going to go! My ONLY complaint is that every little action takes quite a bit of energy, if development could make a way that we could watch ads to build up energy pasted 200...❤💜💙

I LOVE this game! The graphics are amazing and the story line keeps the player interested... but you can't play much each day day- 10-15 minutes max - due to the amount energy completing tasks take and then it takes forever to remew energy to be able to complete any new tasks !!! It's a huge bummer to find such an amazing game and can barely play. Thank goodness you can watch a bazillion ads and receive free energy

Ridiculous energy system. So unbalanced that it's pretty much unplayable. You'll be able to play 5 minutes every 24 hours unless you spend a ton of money. Insane. And before the developers say some stock BS about earning extra energy with collectibles and achievements you have to be able to play for more than 5 minutes for that to be worth it. Just do better.

The game is really fun and the story line is very interesting by I feel like it's such a waste of time when you have to spend 24 hours in real time to have a full energy bar in the game! That's honestly ridiculous. And then literally every move in the game costs energy so you spend 24 hours for your engery to be replenished to just spend 5 minutes in game because you immediately run out of energy! The game literally isn't worth playing at this point 😒

The game is definitely fun. My issue is how slow the energy loads. I can use all my energy in 5 minutes, close the app for the night, and the next day the energy isnt even half full yet! And with the other reviews about purchases not going through, I refuse to spend money just so I can simply play a round or two when I want.

Interesting story line and characters. Main problem with this game is the amount of time it takes for energy to replenish and the amount of energy each task takes. I seen where the developer said participating in contests and unlocking achievements give you energy but kind of hard to do that when it takes alot to do everything in this game. Ill keep it a bit longer but if the energy situation isn't fixed, ill delete

I enjoy the actual story of the game which is why I'm still playing it. But it is extremely aggravating to play with how much energy it costs to do anything. I'm used to energy being used for moving or completing a task but not for every single object that needs to be found. Plus the energy takes forever to reload and it takes three videos per hint if you don't want to spend money

The game is great. I enjoy playing it. It is a challenge finding items which is a good change of pace for search games. The energy usage is absurd though. You can only play a few minutes at a time and takes way too long to get the energy to build back up. If you want to spend money playing or only play for 10 minutes a day it's good. Otherwise, it just takes way too long to accomplish anything.

This game was a lot of fun with a great storyline. The only drawback was the voice actress for Carla Paige. Yes, she spoke clearly but she also spoke exceptionally slow... so slow that I zoned out in the middle of several sentences... the other voice actors were great (even Genie!); she should take a lesson from them.

The actual game itself is great. The puzzles aren't too difficult, but hard enough to make you think. The graphics and storyline is great. The only reason I am rating it a 3, is the amount of time it takes for your energy to refill. It literally takes approximately 12 hours to refill fully, and it takes about 5 minutes of playing for them to be completely gone. So if you're not wanting to dish out money for more energy, you get to play approximately 10 minutes a day.

I like the game. It takes to much energy to do items. It sucks that in the puzzle every time u find an item it takes energy and I don't have money to keep contributing to buy energy. Watching the ads is a hassle to go thru. This doesn't make me want to play the game. This makes me want to delete the game all together and play something that doesn't require so many purchases and energy revives quicker than what this game provides. Please don't give me the same responses that u gave everyone else

Horrible...it was fun at first, but once your in it, you can't play for more than 5 minutes twice a day. The energy use is stupid. It's a cash cow. Plenty other games that let you play with an option to by extra stuff. This game allows you enough time that your sitting in a drive thru line to run thru 200 energy or you have to buy more. I do not recommend playing. It reels you in to play for a.good bit at first, then rips into your wallet to enjoy the rest.

*Warning* I liked this game at first. Had great graphics and an interesting story line. The energy drainage is a major issue though. Takes way too long to relill the energy and it drains in a matter of minutes. Not to mention, after purchasing energy to play a little longer the game completely crashed and will no longer load at all. So I'm completely out of my money and uninstalling the game. *Edit* In response to the developer. Was using in-game achievements etc. Still no refund after reinstall

I am enthralled by the storyline and game play. So much so that I purchased some energy that caused the game to lag. No worries, the update fixed it... or so I thought. Ended up purchasing some energy again. And now it's lagging AGAIN. The server is forever not responding. So great game, should definitely play; just DON'T BUY ANYTHING to make sure it will play properly. Just an odd glitch to not fix.

So overall I love the game, I'm giving it 3 stars because after playing for about 30-40 minutes I ran low on energy and purchased a energy package. Ever since then I haven't been able to play the game. It won't go past the intro screen and I've tried everything. Deleted and re-download the game, restarted my phone & have even let it sit there and try load for like 20 minutes. It's very disappointing because the game is great but I just wasted my money. Smh

I really like this game, it's very well done, but you run out of energy after a few minutes. For example, it cost 30 energy to unlock a door and it was just 1 click to move a key. Then it takes the entire day to get all 200 energy back. You also need to watch 3 ads to earn just 1 hint. I know the goal is to get you to spend money, but most people won't do that and it's very easy to forget about a game when you can only play it for minutes a day.

I actually enjoy playing this game. However, there are many glitches. Currently, I have lost almost $50 to the game when trying to purchase energy. Also, I am to a certain point and every time I try to play it says that the server is down and check back in 15 minutes. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and turning off/back on multiple times. I hope the people who programmed this are reading this. The game play/plot is awesome. Also I would like my money back or get the energy...

*Update* The app has not been loading for over 24 hours. I have uninstalled/reinstalled and restarted my phone. It will not finish downloading. It's not my phone. My other apps are fine, including Murder in the Alps. Love the game! I am experiencing some glitches on Android, but other than that it's great especially if you are a fan of Murder in the Alps.

Terrible. After playing for a bit, you have to pay crazy money to continue playing. Energy depletion is insane. 5 energy for one measly task. Do 5 of those and you can't play for 24 hours or have to pay up. I adored the work that went into this graphic wise, but will not play again because of needing an infinity amount of money to get anywhere near the end of the game.

I've been playing this game for a while & noticed I haven't received my play 3 days in a row achievement. It's been bout a week now. Overall the graphics & concept of the game is excellent just wish energy was easier to obtain. I don't even have the watch a video option. Giving it a 3 stars because I actually like the game just have something's that can be different.

I'm intrigued by the story & the graphics are awesome but as other comments have said the energy goes waaay too fast. I understand that you need to make money to support yourselves but I'm not about to pay $$ every hour because I run out of energy. And I'm an adult that works full time! I'd rather purchase the game once for a set price and have no energy consumption.

Been a fan since Day one with murder in the alps. Waiting for next storyline. Love murder by choice the newest addition. But sadly I recently purchased an upgrade but now can't even play the game. It freezes right before the interlude. Can I retrieve a refund or can My gameplay be rectified. Server not responding for two days now. I did give this game 5 stars when I finished it. Spent a lot on collectibles and hidden objects. Now my latest purchase is just gone and no way to recover it.

I love this game. It's everything I want in a game. But the only two ways to get energy is waiting an ungodly amount of time or spending mega bucks to get it. It also cost a ton of energy to do anything. To get a hint you have to watch not one ad but three! I want to keep playing this game, I really do but I don't know if I'll have the patience to continue. And the only choice I apparently have is to join their FB group. I'll be deleting the app soon

Good graphics, however, stamina is drained soooo quickly and takes FOREVER to replenish. walk into another room, pick something up? BAM, 20-30 stamina gone depending. Mind you, you max limit is 200 and from 0 won't replenish overnight. It's either the creators don't want you to play the game for more than 5 mins or they want you to spend copious amounts of money on it. I'm going with the money. Disappointing.

Story-line, plot & execution are good. They use a "comic book" type layout for cut-scenes. Most of the game involves finding "hidden" objects, among others in certain areas. Unless you want to spend Small bits of time playing a game over several months....this Isn't the game for you ! This is a Pay-2-Play game, pure and simple. Energy is used doing most everything: mini-games, conversing, finding hidden objects, collectables, and charges @ 1 in 7 minutes. I Won't be playing this type again !!!

I just started playing, but so far I'm enjoying the game very much. The plot is interesting. The directions are simple enough. The object searches are a bit small, and tricky, but that's the point of the game- to challenge the player. The biggest complaint I have, is every 24-hr time period, you only get 200 energy points. That can be played in about 10 minutes, and you have to wait 24 hours again, or spend real money to progress. That's very frustrating!

I really would like to play this game. The story and the scenes are very well done. The only issue, and it's pretty massive like others have said, is energy takes literally forever to regenerate. Everything you do costs energy. Select a dialogue response? Energy. Enter a hidden object scene? Each find in that scene costs energy. It's ridiculous. For that reason alone I won't be playing unless it's fixed.

It's a good game, but pricey. Can easily go through $20 without asking for hints,it seems like every move will cost you points. They ask you to review the game while you are still in the free credit part of the game so you won't see that review unless someone comes back to edit. Your energy will replenish overnight and you can get a free hint by watching 3 (long) ads.

An interesting premise that I feel could be super engaging. However poorly balanced energy mechanics sabotage this game from the start. The rate of energy regeneration to action cost means you can maybe only play for about 5 minutes once a day (with one scene and hidden object puzzle) without resorting to pretty low return microtransactions or a bloated 3 ads to one hint or an ad for one conversation or two clicks in a puzzle. This means you don't connect to or invest in the story.

I loved this game when I started, but the energy depleats too fast and paying for more energy is too much. I decided to delete it due to that fact. Everything else in the game seemed awesome though, and if the energy can not deplete when talking to the other patrons, or take so long to refill, I would def re-download and give a 5 star rating.

Game is great. Good graphics, story, and gameplay but you'll never experience it because it takes so long to recharge energy and every tiny action uses a ridiculous amount. I'm not against in-purchases if i feel it's a fair value but their's are overpriced. 1 energy is 7 mins to recharge. Plot conversation is like 10 per response. Most actions are 10-50. Full recharge is 200. They won't fix the problem, they'll tell you to compete on Facebook for 20 mins of energy.

Sounds redundant as all the other reviews. Ok graphics & story line. Bad on play time energy. I left the game overnight and didn't receive any new energy. I am not purchasing more. Once it’s completely out I'm deleting it because it is not worth it. I can find other games that are similar whose energy does regenerate. I had high hopes after Murder in the Alps (which I loved), but it just wasn't meant to be.

Loveeee the game!!!! Hate the energy depletion from everyyyyy little thing you do. The game was so interesting, I almost bought some energy then I thought about how fast that would go & decided against it. Hate to do it but I'm going to uninstall & maybe check back down the rode to see if anything changes. Thanks for the few minutes of play everyday though! Fun Fun Fun. Bittersweet.

It's ok. I like the graphics and the story line. I do not like that the energy runs out so quickly. It uses energy for everything, including just walking to another room. Why not only use energy for the main objectives like finding items or playing the sometimes included mini game, instead of just walking from one area to another?

Seriously the BEST puzzle and hidden object game I have ever played! Whoever wrote the story, the choices the player is given, and the game mechanics truly deserves an award. The story was not only engaging but I found myself wanting to play this for hours. I loved the graphics and the comic strip like storytelling for cut scenes. My only complaint is that energy is consumed quickly and it takes more than 18 hours to fully recharge. You basically have to play only once in 24 hrs or buy energy.

The energy taking 24 hours to fill, and then only being able to play for LITERALLY 10 minutes before running out again is very irritating. Ten minutes of play a day is ridiculous. It's gonna take me a year to finish the game! Also, I've played for the past four days in a row, but the "hooked" achievement is still saying 0/3. So that's bogus as well. Other than that, I like the game.

The game itself is great and I'd totally rate 5 stars if I could actually play. The reload time to get a single energy is like 7 minutes and 1 action can take anywhere from 5 energy to 70. I went to bed on empty energy and went back to play at noon the next day and only managed to have 120 energy which lasted me all of 3 minutes of game play. There's so much wasted potential here.

Love the game itself, but you cannot play for long because you run out of energy very fast and then it prompts you to spend money. Even if you leave the game overnight for hours, the energy is not fully refilled. Its something like 8 minutes per energy point and everything you do takes energy. Uninstalling because its just frustrating how long it takes to do anything if you dont spend money.

I just started this game and it seems fun and has a lot of potential but the energy draining and taking so long to regenerate is a big problem I've been waiting all day to play again with full energy and its barely half way through. I didn't even notice that I was using energy at first because i was just walking around, talking to people, and finding items but it never says how much energy is being taken. Honestly if the creators don't fix this problem I will be uninstalling this game.

The art for the game is really good. The characters are a little bland. The story is alright. One of the main problems I have with this game is that advertising is turned off so you can't gain energy from that. The energy isn't balanced. At least walking from room to room doesn't take energy. I feel like if the energy amount was tweaked and how much is used during basic interactions then maybe it could get a 4 star rating.

I really like the story line, but im most likely going to quit pretty soon! It costs to much energy for every little thing you do! So you don't get to play long before you are out! You can choose to watch ads or pay! I refuse to pay when the makers of the game give you no choice but to pay or else! F U! I'd buy the game if they weren't so money grabbing and a holes about trying to make you buy! You have to watch 3 long ads to get one hint! And you get 5 energy for watching an ad!

I love the game play, however my biggest issues are, A: watching 3 ads for 1 hint? Ridiculous. B: you have to wait so long for the energy to refill, but every play costs alot of energy so its very little playtime, you have to either wait or spend a preposterous amount of money to get energy back, id even he willing to watch an add for energy but not only do they not have that option but based how the "currency" works in game, it won't be alot. Its frustrating paying to play.

The game is pretty, the story is good, but the energy system is absolute bs. It takes forever to refill and everything you do costs energy(when you're searching an area, every single item you collect costs 3-5 energy)so you run out within one puzzle and have to wait almost a full day to play again. So if you're okay with 2mins of game play a day, you will enjoy this game. Also you can't even watch ads to collect energy, this developer is only about the money, not you actually enjoying their game

First of All... Thank you Developer's of Murder by Choice. I have really enjoyed this Game. But?? Your tactics for game play is a bit?? Off the beating path. Your Graphics are good? But the story line is magnificent. You should really think about making this game a full pay game. And upgrade your characters to new digital form. Plus, The timing for updating your play time? Is not warranted. Even the hardest of free Hidden Object Games update their time at least(30) mins. Installing now. Sorry

The game is fantastic. The energy setup is awful. I would rather pay $15 or whatever up front for free reign. The energy spend for every single action is outrageous compared to the one (one!) energy point you get every 7 ish minutes. For comparison, a mini game costs 50. Handing an item to a character costs 20. Opening a scene costs 10. It's insane. Love the game, hate the scheme.

Really fun and exciting to play so far. I'm enjoying the story as well. Keeps a person on their toe do to all of the suspence that is going on as you help the characters out. Now that I have been playing for awhile I must admit I don't like the amount of time it takes to fill back up. It takes forever to regain the energy back, thus which makes the game almost impossible to play unless you're willing to by extra energy. Otherwise everything else I mentioned before hasn't changed.

I am only rating this game a 3 star because I actually like the game itself. HOWEVER, the amount of energy this game takes is crazy. Every time you talk, every time you find a single hidden object, it takes energy. You get a good 2 minutes in before it's gone. I did purchase the 4.99 beginner pack, and 1000 energy was gone within minutes. And you aren't earning much in return, the meter takes forever to refill. This game could be great, but the energy problem killed it for me. Please fix it 😭

Has potential. It's a nice looking and sounding game but the energy system is insane. Too much energy per action. Sure you can watch ads for a whopping 10 energy each... you can't even make most of the actions with 10 energy, it's the bare minimum. Half a conversation, a cut scene, and then run out of energy at the start of a mini game. That's how far 100 energy just got me in my game. Ridiculous.

The story, puzzles and graphics were ok. But I'm deleting the game because it takes too long to load the game, too long to load each room, and the load screens are black making it seem like the game crashed. Also, running out energy is annoying. You can buy more energy but I won't since it takes too long to load.

This game would be good if you didn't run out of energy as fast. And if the energy loaded faster. You can wait an entire day and the energy is still not full. I think it should go to. If you want to skip something then you have to pay for it and if you watch a certain number of ads then you can get help after the initial amount runs out. Other than that the th game is very easy to follow and to play.

While the storyline is great, the amount of energy being used is not. You use up so much energy for each scene and it runs out quickly. So far I've only gotten a one time option for 200 energy and the watch ads is not available for me. Hopefully they fix the energy issue as it is excessive. I will be removing the game for now.

As a fan of Murder in the Alps, I was excited to try this game out as well, but it just feels overall a lot slower. I have the same issue as other people, where I can only play for a few minutes at a time, and the option to watch ads for more energy is unavailable. I just get the feeling that the past few days of play, after the second major event (avoiding spoilers), haven't really had much actual substance.

Wonderful game so far!! Interesting story line and full game play. Best game of this type I've found in a long time. However there r some issues....many times out of nowhere my screen has just gone black and then suddenly I'm back on my tablet homescreen. Also ever action uses too much energy (I tried to buy more but clicking on the button had no effect, it wouldn't take me to the store to make the purchase). Hopefully most of these r just bugs they will work out cause game can be fun!!

I really want to give this game 5 stars because I like it a lot. But it takes so long to move through the game because I have to wait forever for it to build back up. I waited all night and my energy wasn't even full for me to play for more than a minute this morning. It takes way to long to rebuild the energy unless I download another game from you. Phones do not have that kind of space available all the time for a ton of games at once. I recommend you make the enegy increasing better.

The developer.. they make great clue hunting games (this is 2nd one I've played). However, it does not matter how unreasonably fast your energy depletes in both games, nor how unreasonably expensive it is to purchase more energy - they don't care. Read reviews on both games and 99% of them complain about the same thing. Unless you spend an exorbitant amount of money trying to keep energy plentiful, you get about 2 minutes game time, with 2 days waiting on full refill. (Their response says all)

The game has plenty of potential to be good. But the energy refills too slow for what is consumed for the tasks. You have to wait a day to basically fill the gauge, that you blow through in like 10 minutes. I understand the want of revenue, but make it through a fee ads here and there or make it so the game has to be bought and drop the refill time. 1 task taking 30 energy just isn't worth playing when it takes hours to get that back.

Love the game... HOWEVER... It's totally ridiculous to have to pay to play. If you don't pay, you have to watch a million ads to get enough energy to do one simple thing. I understand having to watch an ad or two, but really??? This is being money hungry. I've been playing for a couple weeks and I'm about at the point to delete the game because I refuse to pay constantly to play. Sorry

I wanted to give it a chance because it seems like an interesting game but unfortunately it's not as I had hoped. The energy gets depleted too fast. Also, it keeps crashing when I installed it on my tablet (I can never get pass the title screen) so I had to download it on my phone which is slightly uncomfortable for me. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as clearing the cache and restarting my tablet but nothing seems to work.

I love this game, it has so much to discover and I think anyone who likes murder mysteries would love this. The one problem I have with this is the energy, just to talk to someone or pick something up it takes 5 energy and you get 1 energy every 7 minutes! I would rate it a five but the energy gets annoying and I'm not gonna spend my money on it.

MOST FRUSTRATING GAME EVER! You can only earn 200 energy unless you buy them. If you buy, you stop earning those earned every few min., so you don't earn until paid for are all gone. Can't mix earned and paid to extend the length of play. Energy goes so fast, half the time you're in the middle of finding a list of hidden objects, and run out of energy, so you can't collect the object you just found. Would be a great game if you could play more than 5 min. before waiting 12 hrs for more energy.

I think this has potential to be a fun game. But unless you want to spend some serious cash; this game will take you FOREVER! Without spending money your energy is maxed at 200. 10 energy for every "choice". Every item in a hidden object costs 5 energy to collect. And energy takes 7 minutes for 1. So it takes 28 HOURS for energy to totally refill. That's ludicrous. I don't mind spending money here or there on an app game because I'm enjoying it and WANT to spend it. Not when it seems mandatory.

Shocked. The story was good so far, but the problem is out of all of seek and find games. You never had to use energy to find each object that's just silly. To be honest you can only play the game for 20 mins up to 30 mins because you use so much energy. For example 4 to 5 energy per object in the game so if you found five objects thats 20 energy gone. 20 to 50 to walk through the story and to select your answers on what to say. Spend 5 bucks for energy that gave me an extra 15 mins of play time

Great idea, VERY poor execution. I've been playing for 2 days and I'm already bored and thinking about deleting it. Where do I begin, first off it takes wayyy too much energy to complete tasks, you only get maybe 10 mins of play time a day if that. Energy regeneration is extremely slow also. I found the story very interesting but by the time I can go back and do 1 task I have to mentally refresh on what happened. The game also keeps lagging. I have more but ran out of room to type it here 🙃

So i have to agree with many other comments! The game is fun, interesting story and it really draws you in. Unfortunately, the recharge on the energy is SLOW. and certain tasks take up too much energy. Which leaves playtime anywhere from 2-3 mins at a time. Until the energy needs to recharge... AGAIN. I've played many games. Have no problem spending money when i feel its necessary. But i feel this is PUSHING IT. making it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy the game, WITHOUT spending your money.

This game is fun and engaging but your energy is spent very quickly. Everything costs energy and it takes a while to regenerate. This game is also not optimized for the Z Fold so sometimes I have to use the smaller front screen to find objects that don't show on the full screen. 1. Revamp the energy system. Instead of charging for each item in a hidden object scene - charge a flat amount. Make conversations free. 2. Optimize for larger screens.

Interesting game, but the energy replenishes WAY too slowly. I used all my energy last night playing (which took all of 5 minutes) and it's now the next day and my energy isn't full yet. It takes way too much energy with each action to play without full energy and even then, it lasts mere minutes. This needs fixed or else you'll be losing a lot of players.

I would live to give this a 5 star rating because foe the VERY short time I can play a day I really enjoy it. However like everyone else is saying I can literally play for 1-3 minutes DAILY. Energy takes 7 minutes for 1 energy and it takes 10-30 energy to do ANYTHING in the game. It takes 5 energy just to find one item in the hidden rooms. That means I can find 1 thing every 7 minutes. The balance is way way off. They keep responding tell them how to improve but we ARE talk about energy crisis!

Honestly this game is amazingly fun. It's fully voiced too. My only issue is the energy. It takes 5 energy every time you find something in a hidden object puzzle. It's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. I would like it better if it took around 30 or 40 energy once and you can do the hidden object and not stop in the middle and wait for energy. But I'm also not a game developer so I'm sure there's a reason. All in all it's a fun game with good puzzles and mystery.

Edit, update to 3 stars: Supt did respond to bug in the lighthouse room where you cannot pick up the acorn in the spinning cabinet. Told me to click more precisely. No, I had to click way less precisely, with my stylus! Took about 25 more tries. Did finish the game, great graphics & cool story. But...the energy system is still ridiculous, seems even worse than Murder in the Alps......

The detail is absolutely exquisite and is challenging and immersive. Wonderful! *edit* WOW, the energy imbalance is absolute garbage. They give you a ton of energy to get 25 solid minutes of game play in, then you have to either pay, or charge up for 3 hours per action. I let it refresh over night thinking I'd be back to full playing strength and couldn't even do the next 3 actions (go through gate, open door with swipe card, find med kit). At least let me watch ads for energy!

I didn't think a game could top Murder in the Alps, but this one did it! Murder by Choice offers a longer and more-detailed storyline. You truly become involved in the story and characters. I absolutely loved the ease of the gameplay, the graphics, and the voice-acting. The player will still need to wait a long time for their energy to refill, but MBC offers the opportunity to watch ads for extra energy. I loved this, I've recommended it to others, and I absolutely can't wait until Chapter 2!

It's a fun game but simple tasks like opening a door takes a ton of energy. You can only complete 1 or 2 tasks before all your energy runs out. There's no ads to watch to earn more energy. You can only buy it will real cash. If the character had a lot more energy and you could earn energy by watching ads, then I'd give it five stars. Also the game creator is only replying to 5 star reviews. Why not respond to the criticism and fix your game so it can be played for more than 2 minutes at a time.

I actually enjoy the game play and story line so far but it takes far too long for the energy to load. I left it overnight (10 hours) and it was only at 91 energy. That sounds like a lot but everything costs energy so I unlocked the door, opened it, went inside and started an item search and didn't have enough energy to finish the search because every item costs energy. If you expect people to play, you have to give them the means. Maybe a couple minutes per energy and not costing so much.

This game has an interesting story. I like how it's a "whodunit" mystery aspect. I gave it a 2 star because it lacks the ability to play longer than 3mins without the energy draining real fast. When I play a game I like to play an hour, not 2-3 mins per a day having to wait for your energy to be fully charged. After playing this for awhile I have a sense the developer wants you to spend money and more money to get the energy by taking your money because they know you "like" the game.

This game COULD be amazing. However each click or action cost between 5-50 energy points! It's absolutely crazy. You can play maybe once a day for five minutes before its all run out. Don't bother buying energy either it'll run out immediately. An easy way to fix this and have people actually enjoy this game is to reload energy quicker so we can check in a couple times a day. Energy should be full again after 2 hours. Or, I would much rather watch ads to actually get to play the game.

Game was well made, story was intriguing and well written and voice acting was excellent. It wasn't until it kept crashing, freezing and on the level where you are going to have dinner with the guests and the host it requires 30 energy no matter where you touch the screen. I uninstalled and am disappointed, if there's a patch or fix I will reinstall and would gladly update my 3 stars to 4 or 5 stars.

So far I really enjoy the game. The only things I would like changed are less waiting time for energy, not having to pay so much for energy in order to binge play and to fix the bugs where I end up having to close the app and go back into it to resume playing. PLEASE fix these and I bet more people will play. (:

I have been enjoying this game so far. The storyline is great, and definitely intriguing. The graphics are pretty, and I love the dynamic between all the characters. The reason that I'm not giving it 5 stars, is because everything requires a lot of energy, yet it takes so long to recharge. You can only play for about 5-10 minutes a day. I think that people would be able to play it more, if they cut the time to recharge in half, or if they lowered the amount of energy needed to complete tasks.

Game started off great. Interesting story line. Then I ran out of energy to complete tasks. No big deal, many games have that. Except this one takes 7 minutes per unit of energy to restore. Meaning the next task that requires 30 units of energy I either have to pay to restore or wait 3 and a half hours to do that one task to then wait 3 and half hours more for the next one. That is ridiculous.

it would be a 5 star.... i like this game BUT it takes too much "energy" to be able to play. each thing you do in the game costs "energy" to be able to complete it. i paid for an into bundle for 1000 energy and hints and it was gone very quickly. you have to wait a very long time for it to refill on it's own or you have to keep buying more. it's a little too much when you cant get through a scene because of that.

The game itself is pretty great, so far the story is awesome and interesting, but the amount of energy it takes to complete tasks is RIDICULOUS... 7mins , that's 8 energy per hour.... That's ridiculous..... There has to be a better way. I'm not paying for any energy when it is eaten up so quickly!! I will be deleting. I hate to but I'm waiting more, than playing, and at the rate of the energy is gobbled it's not at all worth it to pay for it. The watch ad is greyed out so. Sorry. I'm done.

I give this game a three-star rating only because you have to use way too much energy for the puzzles. I could understand using energy once you click on the puzzle to play it, but having to use energy every time you find what you're looking for is a bit much. And then you have to wait all day just to build your energy back up again. Other than that I like the story and it's interesting but I don't like having to wait all day just to play one single scene. I'll probably uninstall it pretty soon.

This is a wonderfully crafted game. The graphics are amazing. The game play is smooth. The storyline flows while keeping you in suspense. This could easily be a 5 star game if it didn't cost so much energy to do the tasks to get through the game at a relative pace. The HO's eat a lot of energy, especially if you are a spastic clicker, all the way to talking to characters, interacting, it takes a long time for your energy to refill so if you don't mind waiting a day great, pay for energy if not

So far the game is enjoyable except for the energy consumption, each task is a minimum of 5 energy, it takes 7 minutes to earn 1 energy point. Even after buying the welcome package of 1000 energy (thinking this would be enough to last through most of the game), it lasted about 40 minutes of play time. I doubt it will keep my interest to wait on the amount to finish the game. This is a greedy concept, unfortunate too as most will not finish the game.

GOOD game. BUT creators u could charge a set price. I achieved many of the achievements for extra energy & I ALSO BOUGHT a 2000 energy pack. But the game is intentionally designed to NEVER have enough to finish the game so u HAVE to keep buying. U may end up paying $20-$50 in total to finish. Because you literally can't. initial 200 lasts for about 3/5 tasks b4 you run out and have to wait (day for partial refill)you're taking advantage of people who support and u don't seem to care.Unfortunate

This game is great! Great graphics, storyline, puzzles! I agree with the reviews! It takes way too long to earn⚡️to play more! A whole 24 hours to restore your energy and it goes away so fast! I get it, you all need to be paid for your hard work. I've already paid $7 and it was used up so fast. But it shouldn't be this drawn out! All that being said, I will stick to the game a little longer because I am really hooked. But I probably won't spend anymore actual money. Hopefully this gets improved!

The game is enjoyable and great graphics, but the "energy" required to do EVERYTHING makes it so you have about 2-5 minutes of game play, unless you spend a bunch of money, in which case you'll have 15-20 minutes. I'll probably forget I even have the game because it's not enough play time to even get invested in the story.

The quick drop in energy levels is ridiculous. I would rather pay a flat fee to play rather than getting 2 minutes of play time and then be forced to wait a long time for energy to replenish or fork over money to buy energy which will be deleted again in no time. This has the ability to be a great game but in the current form it's not very accessible.

What a SHAME! Such an awesome storyline and graphics. Very exciting game until you're hit with the energy requirements. Just trying to figure things out you lose energy. It takes like a day to charge enough energy for 5 minutes of play. I would even watch ads for THIS game, but guess what...NOT an option. You either wait for nothing, pay a lot of real money for again...nothing, or look elsewhere. I'm hopeful they'll listen and let us actually enjoy their art!

This game is very beautiful BUT unplayable due to how the energy works. its very disappointing. You can barely get far without running out of energy and it takes forever to refill. Everything takes lots of energy and it refills 1 at a time with large time intervals. I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind this is. I spend money on games. I have no problem paying for a game I like but if this is geared to FORCE me to pay for energy, I don't like that. I'll just uninstall and don't come back.

Game seems great, if I could play for more than 5 minutes before I run out of energy and can't do anything in the game unless I spend money. It constantly shuts down in the middle of play, doesn't save my progress, and then won't let me back on the game because there are "too many people signing in" and it has reached its cap. I love this type of game, but I can't even play it.
