This is a good game for those who like to spend a quick five hours(!) or ten or fifteen minutes looking for whodunit clues. It's all just for fun as you move into and out of street scenes looking for the victim, the plot, or the perp. Made by the same people as "Looking for Aliens" but less intense. Really like this and recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I really wish they would update this to 64 bit. I've played this game over and over, primarily because it's very soothing and mellow. No loud bangs (which I love also), no "Try to beat this!", just quiet music and good solitaire challenges.
A nice change of pace.
I recommend this game!

"Drawn" was one of my top three favorite game series, so I was very happy to see "Re-Drawn: The Painted Tower". Also happy that it had been long enough that I didn't remember all the puzzles and solutions. This version is just as high quality in story line and visuals.
Here's the problem: I'm running Mac OS 10.14, and I do lots of Photoshop high end work, so it's not like my computer setup can't handle RAM-hungry work. But it is taking 15-20 seconds to move from one scene to the next or even back to a scene that has already been rendered.
I did the math and that works out to more than six hours of waiting on scene rendering even if I didn't play to the end. Tried it for three hours and finally had to give up. Too tedious and frustrating. Don't know if it's the OS version or what, but I'm sorely disappointed.

A refurbished game?

I bought this game in 2014 and enjoyed it. I'm not certain why it is being touted as a new game. However, I really like this series by those terrific game developers, ERS, so It's a definite recommend. You might want to do what I did and check your Purchase History before buying, in case you got it in 2014 too.
I recommend this game!

Maze: The Broken Tower is an engaging game with some innovative game play that will keep the player's interest. While not as directly creepy as Maze 360, (what's creepier than a malignant little kid with power over grownups?), it has its "aw jeez" moments.
The puzzles are new or not as familiar in their design, so they keep your interest. I agree with one reviewer that this will probably be a play-again-game, especially because of the multiple opportunities to choose from a variety of actions and a desire to actually conquer a puzzle or two instead of hitting the skip button!
The graphics are well done: no gnarly perspectives or quick-draw backgrounds, and the audio is high quality with music being an important part of the atmosphere. Good story line with an occasional reveal that changes the player's assumptions.
Am I dead? Apparently, and you have no memory of how it happened. Death may be the least of your problems.

This game has a fairly interesting premise, but the execution is godawful. Puzzles get stuck and won't yield to the solution or even to the (last resort) skip button. There is nothing intuitive about moving from one location to another. You have to scroll all along the edges of a scene to know where the link to the next scene is hiding. There's a disconnect between the dialog and the individuals talking so that your character or another is saying sentences that are OBE (Overcome By Events).
I don't recommend this game.
