Faces of Illusion

Another mistakenly erased review because the "delete" button is so close to the "edit" button. This new review format is TERRIBLE. If it isn't remedied, no one will bother leaving reviews. Please, everyone, let Google know how you feel about this. I refuse to rewrite what was a good, honest, constructive review designed to help people decide if they want to purchase. No, I refuse to rewrite it. Just wait 'til it happens to a review you've carefully written. I hope they don't make a review boycott necessary. 1/21/2017. And if you DO decide to boycott, please type the word "Boycott" in the review space. And Google, please - DON'T be telling me to "write a short review"". I'll write a GOOD review, short or long. Prospective buyers deserve nothing less. Thank you to Angila and Koki and J Mo for really good, comprehensive reviews!

Uninstalling...no bonus game. Graphics 2D. Gameplay so basic. Having just come off playing Phantasmat and the Haunted Halls Dwellers this game doesn't begin to live up to my standards at all. I'm going to think twice before purchasing AM instead of immediately buying like I always have. No bonus, weakcollectible, weak storyline, etc.

Very disappointed in am the demo literally had one and a half scenes. Will not purchase because i DK what I'm purchasing don't waste ur time data or storage space to download this demo it's literally 5 minutes of game play. Come on AM we all know ur better than this.

Cute, but not one of AM's best. The graphics are well done, but the gameplay was sluggish at times & items were difficult to see & discern. The English language was broken. The journal is nice, but lacking. Fast travel map is a plus. Length was way too short. I completed in just over a hour. No bonus chapter. Overall, it's okay, but not worth a full price purchase.

This was really subpar compared to other Artifex games. Graphics and controls seemed like older games. Plot was cheesy. Game was short. No bonus, not worth more than $1.99 in my opinion.

I normally love the games that you come up with but the game could have had more information about the history and character interaction. The game also lacked a bonus chapter. Bad move.

Sooo disappointed.. Really corny to say the least.. Am you can do so much better than this..

It's was alright. Story and graphics were decent enough. Upset there wasn't a "Bonus game". Liked where it was headed but it needed a little more. Still love AM!!!

I liked the game. It moves a little slow and a bit hard to make out some items in the hidden object sections. Someone needs to proofread for grammar errors and spelling.

Not Impressed. Short game with no bonus chapter. The story has potential but fell short. We have an interactive map, illusive objects and cards to collect. I like that you can zoom and pan through hos without mistap penalties. There's a couple hos where you don't even know what you're supposed to be collecting. In some of the hos all the items listed will fade on the same spot instead of where it was located, kinda weird. Artwork was gorgeous, as usual. All in all I feel that $3.49usd is too much. If the game was longer with more substance to the story it could be great. Oh! What I'd give to have a new Grim Tales, Enigmatis, Nightmares of the Deep or Eventide. $5. That's what I'd give. LOL

3 ☆'s is a stretch! Beginners or people looking for simple play may rate higher but. ...Definitely too short and lack of play content to pay $3.49! It has custom difficulty level, hidden travel cards and illusion objects (that I didn't even find half), teleporting map and that's it! VERY SHORT GAME (Trial was unbelievably short when unlock screen popped up) NO BONUS CHAPTER/GAME, NO STRATEGY GUIDE, NO MORPHING OBJECTS, etc.... EXTREMELY BASIC, more appropriate price would've been $.99-$1.99!!! BIG disappointment considering it's from Artifex Mundi! NO desire to play twice...Uninstalled!! >>>***PLAYSTORE THIS NEW RATING FORMAT (the paragraph portion) is totally

Enjoyable game with good graphics, nice story line. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THAT THERE ISN'T A BONUS GAME. My only negative.

Fun but short game with cheesy graphics. Story needs work....Not too many hidden objects, no glitches. Overpriced even on sale.

No bonus game. Collectable's are hard to find. Too short of a game play for weak game and high cost. I expect better from AM.

I have to agree with the other comments it is not the usual AM . I don't think I'll be playing this one again!!! Disappointed. Better luck next time.

I didn't get enough time to decide I liked it or not. The free trial was two minutes. Waaaaaaaay to short to enjoy it enough to buy.

Enjoyd the game, loved the graphics n HO's, BUT there was No bonus game. Without a bonus game i only give it 3 stars...paying what i did for it...well hmmm..

Only on the first scene will update my review unsure if I read it wrong but I'm sure the young boy asked for a ball and what I had to give him was a bullet from the poster? Is there anywhere for the collection items to go? So you can see what you've collected and how many more you need to go? Love the interaction with other characters never seen this kind of character usage in similar games. Love that you can customise the difficulty so there's no annoying sparkles etc. ERROR: In one of the HO scenes it's says glob instead of globe. In the battery mini game it should say so all of the lights 'flash' green instead of turn green as they're already green. The game where the spherical images need to be rearranged to suit the bottom half of the image shouldn't say "swap the puzzles in the right places" It should say something like "rearrange the puzzle pieces in to the correct positions to complete the image" Another wording error "hide all the roots to the holes" shouldn't it say manoeuvre the roots in the correct order to release Arthur. Another wording error "break the string by targeting of projectile, when the target is green" Maybe it should say "When the target is green press on it to release a projectile to break the rope" I doubt string would be holding a chandeliar and another error " find three symbols in one stage displayed on the bottom of the screen" it could say "Locate three symbols within the grimoires light force that match the symbol below" there's also a lot of issues with the characters scripting. Game needs alot of work but it's enjoyable I'd like to play again once all of the issues have been rectified. Hope this review helps!

Not up to the quality of games I am use to. I'm sure they worked very hard on this, it just fell extremely short on many levels. Ending was a disappointment and also NO BONUS ROUND. Sorry guys I wish I could have rated higher.

I agree that the new review format is a pain in the ass, however its not the developers change. Game way too short before they want you to pay.

I just started the game. 2 min. in and they are already asking for me to buy, but it doesn't give you enough time to decide whether or not you like it enough to spend money on it. DISAPPOINTED!!!

Soooo short. Really pissed. I paid 4.99 for an hour long game? Seriously? And theres no bonus chapter? I may not buy another from you guys. Really disappointed.

Disappointed no bonus game. No guide and no going back to find any collectibles you missed, frustrating

Way too short and no bonus game. Not worth price. First game I ever though was a waste of money.

Having read the reviews I decided to play the introduction before purchasing, I am so glad I did, the graphics are really poor and almost two dimensional, some of the graphics even have poor perspective. The characterisation is appalling so playing with sound is not an option. As I did not play the whole game I can't comment on how the storyline develops, but from the little that I saw it seems to be a bit ropey. There is no bonus game, and if the game is as short as the introduction would imply then the game is really not worth the £2.75, (this is the 40% discount price) the game costs. Really not up to the standard of game Artifex Mundi usually produce.

Could not open the bag .Kept getting the hints but nothing happened

I am stuck in the illusion library can u help me. Thks

After purchase of game and only playing short way into it I've never had an AM game with such a terrible game play not thought of properly this game needs to be taken off and back to drawing board because it's clearly nothing more than child's play no bonus chapter no Collectables and clearly wish could get money back but wasted nearly £3 on a rubbish game stay away from game don't buy until you've tried it b4 hand I will next time round

Not as good as the other games & struggled to find the morphing objects

I paid and was expecting a much longer game. Dissapointed.

Could be a bit longer. A couple of the mini games had no explanation as to what to do, such as the wristbands. Enjoyed playing apart fro that.

Super short, glitchy demo. Uninstalled.

Boring. Dull. Weak storyline. No bonus chapter.

5 mins for that much data was a disgrace

Where is the bonus game artfex mundi I thought you were the best I am disappointed

It sucks every time i go to play the game it keeps starting me at level 1

Easy game and very short, not worth the money I paid for it

Very short demo disappointing

WOW that could not have been a shorter demo !

Good game, but not a masterpiece. Artifex can create real jewels.
