Cons

----Lag moving with the Circle Pad**

* Just Easy Mode in the Demo

** Tested in Demo

*** I don't like the reverted controls,left is right and right is left.
This applies for the Touch Controls.

**** When you try to scratch the picture second time

IMPORTANT:This was tested on the DEMO VERSION not on the Full Retail version.

Yeah the controls aren't perfect, but it seems like it's not a big deal. I preordered the game already so w/e
One word of warning for anyone who wants to buy this: DO NOT SAVE IN PUZZLE/ESCAPE ROOMS. It can wipe your save file due to some nasty bug.

the demo wasn't bad, the puzzles were confusing at first but i solved them in the end, the game copies a lot from the saw movies though, even down to the part where they are kidnapped and places in a unknown location, i like it though because i like the saw movies.

Rising Star Games said that they are gonna fix that.
But yeah, till then don't save in puzzle/escape rooms. xD
But to be honest, i won't buy it, i mean that's really a big bug found in the game.
Won't buy it till they fix it xD

 

[chyyran]

I really want to get this game, but it seems there are some pretty big bugs.. Hopefully they fix it, but this has been on my wishlist for a long, long time.

 

[Arras]

Yeah, the main problems AFAIK are random crashes and save file corruption when saving in puzzle rooms. I really hope they fix this, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Oh I didn't know there was a demo for the 3DS out.
I played the one for PSVita and now I want to play this one to see the differences.
I didn't notice any FPS-drops or freezes though and the touch controls were fine to me.
I'm going to decide which one to get after playing the 3DS one, but it sounds like the Vita one will actually be better.

Does the save-error occur for the PSVita-version too?

No, the save error occurs only on the 3DS for some reason. I hope they'll patch it, though (or maybe the PAL version won't even have the problem, but I doubt that)

I asked around and no one has encountered it yet. So hopefully it's fine *Touch wood* And the Vita's demo works flawlessly. That I can attest to.

RSG did look into this matter and according to them, when they were going through their version of codes, they said that theirs should be fine. How true this is is anyone's guess.

Well i was talking about the 3DS Demo.
It has some FPS drops.

I'm used to 10FPS on my old PC, so maybe I just don't notice drops. I can't remember seeing them in the demo though.

 

[emigre]

Yeah, I'd take bug fixes over english voice acting.

Ah well, I'm only paying £22.50 for my copy.

Yeah I got it a little late so I paid £25. Still not that expensive though. Thanks for that link by the way

Its selling for £30 on the eshop so not that great of a deal.

But physical copy is always more expensive no?
And I prefer how we get the cart, booklet and box and other fluff

Converted from euros £32.50 here though, so that makes up the difference

 

[emigre]

It looks like VLR has a low price to try and attract people.

It lags when scrolling in the room.

Ok good to know.
I just didn't want to buy another game with save errors, like Assassins Creed Liberations.
That really pissed me off.

It's not a huge problem if you know not to save in puzzle rooms, but I still hope it'll be patched when I get my game in about a week...
