“I love that it has no ads and that there's lots of different stories to choose from.”
“The game is basically free, with you only having to watch ads to unlock a chapter and keys to play one.”

“3 hours (or 1.09€) to unlock a key that gives you a max of 30 mins of gameplay is just plain stupid.”

Overall, users find the game to have good replayability, particularly praising the "choose your own adventure" style that enhances the experience. However, many express frustration over the limited availability of hints, which can hinder replay value, suggesting that improvements like daily rewards or easier hint access could significantly enhance playability. The potential for multiple endings and randomized elements is also noted as a missed opportunity for increasing replayability.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed the new interface; I think the developers should import all of the AE games on this platform, as it will increase replay value.”
“The 'choose your own adventure' style in the story really has given that game incredible replay value.”
“Five stars to the parts that are playable.”
“Huge missed opportunity to not have multiple endings or randomized character and weapon locations for replayability, which is what makes Clue!”
“It's okay, but once you run out of hints, it's game over unless you want to keep switching back and forth from Google to find a walkthrough, which is very time-consuming. Maybe if there was a way to get more hints or a way for it to not cost so much, like maybe 5 daily stars for logging in or getting stars for completing things without hints, or even watching videos for hints, if it was more playable then I would give it more stars.”
“And I think that maybe you can include a daily reward (keys or maybe even stars) when we come in to make it more playable.”
