Tales of the Neon Sea Wiki

I bought it on launch day. Like what I have played. I’m using a iPhone 11 Pro Max. I haven’t ran into any bugs yet myself. I give 5 stars bc it is fun and has a lot of detail. It has a good story I have played about two hours into game. I would recommend people to buy the game. If you like pixel art point and click games with a great story then buy it. I know the developers worked hard so I like to support indie games. I have bought a lot. The game is worth the money. I’m surprise it was only $3.99 I figured at least $5.99. Anyhow I see some negative reviews about bugs. I’m sure if people are using a really old iOS device they have lower ram and stuff it will be buggy.

Help! I’m on the US version, but when you walk into the 7twenty convenience store the dialog turns into Japanese characters (I assume, I can’t tell the difference) the name of the game is also in the same characters on Home Screen. Overall though there are only 2-5 actually enjoyable games a year that come out in the App Store, and this is ABSOLUTELY one of 2020s. A fabulous point and click adventure with beautiful pixel art! Still on chapter 1 but loving it. Will edit my review once language issue is fixed.

a great pixiel game, last time I played something like this was witch’s isle. Great artwork and filled with various content. Detailed plots with many hints hidden in daily life. Interacted with everyone and I love how they all have their stories. Recommended to my friends. Only reason of low rating is probably because of translation not enough (I played the game in original language which is Chinese) Looking forward to future stories.

I really don’t understand how anyone can give this game anything other than 5 stars. I honestly don’t understand how it’s free either. This is a great throw back to the point and click adventures on pc like Kings Quest, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, etc but with a cyberpunk vibe. The environments are beautiful, music is great, and all the puzzles are varied and non repetitive. My only gripe is that the app icon name is in Chinese.

To be honest, this game is pretty good if you overlook some broke grammar every once in a while. The story line is pretty good and the balance between puzzles and dialogue is great too. The only thing is the achievements you can earn at the final chapter like visiting the lab, finding the clones, choosing to save Luna, solving the first murder case, the second murder case and third case are broken. The achievements aren’t granted to the players but it’s not that big of an issue.

First impressions. Immediately thought that the game wasn’t forgiving after dying four times at the VERY beginning. The art is absolutely stunning! It’s reminiscent of Dead Cells turned science fiction. Some of the descriptions could be polished but are understandable. Prologue. Seems to be a mystery/puzzle game mixed with fighting. Was really upset that you’d have to tap so much to run fast, but apparently you only need to tap it once and you’d be sprinting. Would be great if the icon, you know, lit up? Not really necessary outside the tutorial. You can VERY clearly see when you are walking versus when you are running. Chapter 1. You awaken in the past? The descriptions are reflections (albeit, simplistic) on Chinese society and China as a whole.

I’ve discovered this game recently because I’m quarantined and I am having a lot of fun with it. I really like the art style to it, the puzzles are fun’ and the gameplay is just overall good in my opinion, but. I made to the water wheel puzzle and can’t figure out how to do it. I looked at walkthroughs and they have two switches to divert power on the bottom left. I looked at the control center map in the room beside the generator and it says there’s also 2 switches there, but when I go down there they don’t exist... If this is a glitch please fix it and if it is just taken out of the game for some reason and there’s another way to complete the puzzle please tell me how to, it would be very appreciated.

Pixelated graphics are top-notch. Gameplay and storyline engaging. Most of the side puzzles are easily completed through not only logic but also trial and error (walk-throughs available via web search). The completion of the majority of the quests are unnecessarily frustrating in their methodology to complete: also via the web. Pleased that I waited until this game was free, would have been infuriated had I paid the original asking price due to the aforementioned comments. Overall a decent gaming experience.

Love the game! Great art, story and puzzles. However I am stuck on the water wheel in chapter 2. I can’t lower the second drawbridge in order to get to the wheel itself. My theory is I discovered the hidden wall section too early and now it’s drawing away power I need... I tried looking up walkthroughs but the puzzles seem to be entirely different. If anyone knows how I can fix this please help!

Is it a side-scroller or something else? I think it is a side-scroller, which normally means the controls should be pretty straight forward, except they are not. Turns out it is a side-scroller with puzzles and the controls and lack of light make it impossible to figure out how to interact with and solve a puzzle. If can’t see what the game attempts to refer you to as part of the puzzle, how can you solve it? I will probably mothball the game for now and comeback to it in a few months to see if it is fixed. At the moment, it is waste of storage.

I think it is a good game but the puzzles are impossible to figure out sometimes. I even tried walkthroughs online but somehow parts are different almost like the makers changed the levels in a semi big way. I am currently stuck in the tunnels on chapter 2 and cannot figure out how to power the portion hidden behind the wall and the rest of the water turbine. I think I also have a bridge left to lower. It’s so frustrating with the lack of info to figure it out

So far, my only reason for docking stars is that there are characters and interactions still untranslated. All of the characters in the 7-12 shop spoke what I am guessing is Mandarin... I’d improve my review if the translation issue was solved. Also, the game is dark, but when you run by something interactive/important it lights up a little icon so you know to interact. I play on low brightness on my iphone8 and have had no issues with the side scrolling format or puzzles.

It’s been a fun game overall. The puzzles can be sometimes challenging and confusing but they are solveable. My main complaint right now is that there has been a few sections where the text reverts back into Chinese and I can’t understand what the characters are saying. In the beginning section at the ramen shop when I talk to there it reverts to Chinese. Just recently I got the the part where you go back to being a cat after you finish investigating the first part of the second case. It will probably be a while before these bugs are fixed. It is pretty unfortunate considering I just got the game yesterday and it’s unplayable.

This game pulled me in immediately with its gorgeous visuals but kept me with its intriguing storyline and gameplay. My current issue is that I’m noticing that my version seems to be missing key features. For instance, I can’t help the drunk woman off the floor. Also, after watching some walkthroughs, it seems that my back room wine cellar side quest is missing features. I can’t interact with the dart board as well as other things. This game is incredible and I want to experience it to its fullest intent. If I can gat help with this, I would gladly update my rating to 5 stars!
