Haunted Hotel: The Evil Inside Reviews

I liked the plot and flow through the game. Nice combination of puzzles and hidden objects. I had one freeze but restarting my iPad took me right back and no further issues. The creepy music and some scares were great. My minus one star is the hidden objects are dim and often double-action (you have to move things or grab things, etc.) I don't like that it's tedious.

Honestly, how many amulets can there be? This is a never ending progression of find amulet, insert amulet, receive another amulet!
The hops are list, silhouette, and find the matching pairs. The mini games are interesting, ranging from easy to medium. Graphics are good. I got excited, based on the opening scene, that our protagonist was going to be a black male. But no. Morphing objects in all 25 scenes, yes just 25, including the bonus game. Morphing collectible cards and picture pieces to find as well. Although there is not an achievement for finding any of the collectibles. Storyline poor. Spoiler alert: You never find out who killed Bella. Was it Alexander? If so, why? There’s nothing to indicate that they were anything but a loving couple. Why does the house kill everyone but not James? The story could have been good but they just didn’t seem to care. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars, would have given 4 simply for the better than average mini games, but the repetitive gameplay made me go with 3.

This game is very well put together and enough spook factor to keep you on the edge of your seat. Loving it! Some very clever tasks to perform. Hidden object scenes are fun and have a different variety to them on some. Lot’s of puzzles to keep any brain cobwebs from forming. Teleporting map, as well as morphing and collectible items. Highly recommend picking this one up. I personally, found it Very Entertaining!!! 😁
Happy Spooky 👻 Gaming Everyone!!!
KdBoots 🤠 ( Too bad it wasn’t a longer game) Games are way too short these days - especially when we only get 2 New Releases a week. Need more releases Big Fish 🐠

So far, it’s a great game! Solid story, pretty good graphics, and the voice acting doesn’t make me want to barf. The reason I’m giving it 3 stars though is because of the controls. And by controls, I mean selecting objects on hand to use. The object list is on the bottom of the screen and to use one, it’s click and drag. If your like me and have an iPhone, unfortunately, this is also the motion to see all open apps. So it takes a few tries to actually get an object rather than change the screen. Infuriating at times, but I can live with it.

I got to the screen at the hotel after the man went into the hotel and the door slammed shut behind him and the graphics are really screwed up. I get a washed out scene with what almost looks like a series of various washed out photo boxes all over the screen. Unfortunately for me I paid to unlock the game before I got to this screen and am completely unable to play the game. I love Elephant games and have played many Haunted Hotel games and I’m really disappointed that this game so far is garbage! I already tried to reboot my iPads (had the same problem on my two iPads) and I deleted and reloaded to game multiple times......no luck!

I'm sure you devs are aware by now, but the inventory is right on top of the home control on the new iPhones. And you have to drag can't even click them then click again where you want to place the item.
But other than that it was pretty fun. I'm a bit biased as a huge fan of The HH series, (The X was incredible), but it was a bit short and as others said the colors were super drab to look at. Plot was also feeling way too familiar to a lot of BF games, but I digress. Still was kinda creepy but please kick up the creep factor some more!!

The cut scenes are grainy and low resolution and the main game is pixelated and looks very strange. You cannot see anything and the screen is broken up into various sized rectangles. It’s obviously not compatible with the iPad but it’s being marketed as if it is. Developers probably know this but they’re just hoping people purchase it without checking the game out first. Dishonesty at a criminal level. Elephant and a big fish are getting worse and worse over the years. They used to be the best and now they’re getting a little shady in how they do their business.

There is something seriously wrong with this game upon installation while the opening movie plays fine the minute you get into actual gameplay it’s a weird white screen with lots of boxes. You can’t get past that to any other scene. Refreshing +and uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn’t fix the issue. I requested a refund from Apple, which I got. I usually love the haunted hotel games but can’t recommend this one until they fix the glitch....Which doesn’t look like elephant games and/ or big Fish is in a big hurry to do

Purchased game but cannot play it. It starts out fine but after the first scene, when you’re suppose to enter the hotel it goes to a screen that you cannot do anything other than get the pruners. It’s just blocks and when you try to go to the next screen it states Task Blocked. I paid for this game and if you cannot fix it, please refund the money. No stars given because you cannot play the game, so how can l rate it? Sheesh, you have to give it a rating to be able to send....well, l guess 1 star will do.

You can play for about 2 levels but then you get stuck into an endless loop where you walk into a room and a load screen pops up that tries to force you to buy a collectors edition. If you don’t buy it, you are trapped forever between the room opening and then the purchase popping up. You don’t even get a real chance to see if the game is worth the money or not. You absolutely can’t play unless you’re willing to buy you’re way out of the room you are sent to investigate. Don’t bother downloading.

Looked fun and was actually enjoying it but it doesn’t conform with the iPhone screen and every time I try to use any tool it either closes the screen or shuts off what I’m doing. Very frustrating

Installed the game and noticed right away that the graphics are completely distorted. Even the menus pop up with almost no recognizable options. After tapping randomly to start the game graphics remained distorted with the screen appearing mostly blue with white borders spread throughout the active screen. Text windows display no text just a white box with a faint “x” in the corner to close. Was really looking forward to playing this game however I am going to have to uninstall it as it is.

I was playing the game, but have reached a point where I can’t continue. I don’t know how to reach the developer to ask for an update or a refund. I would be happy to talk with someone and tell them where the bug is if someone could contact me. I was enjoying the game until now. The bug involves needing to pick up an item to scare an animal, without giving too much away about the game! I would be happy to give exact details to the game developers.

It didn’t say anywhere in the about section of HauntedHotel that you need to purchase the game for a full version, which blows. I spent a good 20 minutes really getting into the game and then found out I needed to buy the full version to continue... pretty upset about that. You guys should definitely put that in the description of HauntedHotel . It was a fun game until I couldn’t play anymore.

I used to enjoy this series but they are all starting to blend together. Overly dark and drab colors throughout making it difficult to discern items in the background. Overly touchy controls. One tap a hair too close to the bottom and back you go. Same few scenes but lots of back and forth with no overly logical reason or game flow. If I wasn’t bored I would have passed.

I tried playing this game, and the entire screen is just full of white. It’s like the images all lost their transparency and have a white box around them. The cutscenes don’t have it. When I tried to start playing, it was the exact same for everything else. I don’t know if this is supposed to be intentional, but I can’t play a game where even the menu has a white box around it.

Got to the second floor, put key 12 into lock, got in the room but before I could start playing, a skull came up stating that it was loading, bedroom scene came up, then back to loading, then to a page where you can buy the bonus edition. Clicked the x to get out, but game kept going to the purchase page. Had to delete entire game. Not working correctly.

Unable to play due to graphics being totally messed up. Purchased this a long time ago and tried to replay it when I noticed the problem .Played fine several years ago. Deleted several times and reinstalled still unable to play. No response from developer for a fix. Don’t waste your money on a game you can’t play.

Game is designed well initially, but it asks for payment to continue before the player has a chance to become involved in the story or really see whether it’s worth the money. Some of the puzzles are elementary and should be redesigned (moving a ball through a basic maze by tapping arrows) and the creepy vibe really wasn’t selling yet.

The introduction was fine, but once I got to the first game scene, everything was covered in strange disjointed boxes. I tried removing the game and then bringing it back from the cloud. I tried changing player names several times and restarting. The results were the same, a garbled mess. I would like to get a refund on this game since I could not even get I started! If I could, I would rate this game at zero stars!
