The Wanderer:

So far the game is very enjoyable. The way the story unfolds is beautifully told. However, in the beginning I was confused on what I needed to do to progress in the story. So a little direction would have been great, I did figure it out in the end. Although through trial and error for about 20 minutes I got the jest of it. I have came across a few glitches in the game some that was not so bad. But near setting out to the end of the world island is when it all the aggravation began. The game would just glitch and kick me out, but was it so bad at the beginning, but every time I got to the Scripturam Chapter and make it into the house and getting ready to click on something it kicks me out of the game and I have to begin the chapter all over. I have gave it over 7 chances and can not progress any further.

Thus far, my experience with The Wanderer has been nothing short of ethereal and magnificent. The characterization of Frankenstein’s creature is just as pure and heartfelt as displayed within the literary classic it hails from. On top of that, the game’s animation and overall design are a treat to witness, and has some of the highest quality I’ve ever seen within App Store. The storytelling and pacing is quick but readily addictive; once I started the story, I was too enthralled able to stop playing until I reached an unfortunate game crash once I reached Victor’s shack after Amphitrite spurned the Wanderer’s feelings. I saw that another player within the reviews experienced the same crash as I did. While we operated on different platforms (they operated from an IPad Pro), I personally operate the game from an IPhone X under iOS 13.3 and experienced the same problem. I hope my software information was also an aid in helping fix this bug. I truly adore your rendition of this classic gothic piece, and firmly believe you do the Creature’s narrative justice with your App. Keep up the good work!

It is pretty, and it is cause for reflection. I feel for any creature who experiences that level of dependency upon romantic love, and upon the acceptance of humankind in general. Such a pathetic being accepts no control over his own happiness, but rather leaves it for others to determine. The game gets very strange toward the end. It seems to break the fourth wall and start addressing the person playing the game as “you“ without warning, and what it’s saying and what is being asked for are not very clear. But it is a pretty and artistic game and, as I say, cause for reflection. Enjoy the enigma. I will add that I very much appreciate that the game is kind of sprawling, long and covering much geographic ground, and that there is little to no combat or violence anywhere in it, with the possible exception the very end, at which point the violence is almost more inferred than seen. It’s strange, but it is a good experience to have had, and I may replay it in the future in search of other endings.

The game is beautifully crafted, that being said I’ve had to play a chapter several times (the familia) because it freezes right after winter. the game doesn’t save until you complete the chapter which takes what seems like twenty minutes. This is obviously quite frustrating as I purchased this game. I’m afraid I don’t have the tenacity to complete it after the third time I’ve had to start over so I cannot give the game five stars tho the artists and sound engineers definitely deserve it. If the game was more user friendly and less buggy it would be completely worth paying money for. as for now I’d say wait until the issues are fixed before purchasing.

This game is absolutely beautiful and I am genuinely upset that I cannot continue to play it unless I start over on the same (very long) chapter for the third time. The game keeps glitching out, first in spring when talking to the family, then in winter after chopping wood. The chapters take at least 20 minutes to get through as there are many dialogue lines and animations and tasks for each, and the game does not save until you get through the whole thing. It is too frustrating to sit through everything yet again and I suspect if I did try to do that it would just glitch out on me again. Such a shame I really love the game itself but due to the bugs it was a complete waste of money.
