Here's the link: https://apps.apple.com/lb/app/star-diffusion/id1286669060 The interesting thing is while it's free + IAP for episodes in the US, it's an upfront paid app in other markets, but still contains IAP for what I presume are weapon unlocks? Not sure. I'm also not sure if IAPs are actually in the paid version too, or if they're just remnants of the free version showing up. I'm willing to take one for the team, but I won't be able to for a couple of hours...so...I just ask you lovely people stateside who can download this for free in the meantime...is that Fully Armed Plan IAP for $6.99 an all inclusive "unlock everything" IAP? It's worth noting that it's actually cheaper to get the whole thing in the US too, but until we can get some light shed on why there are different versions, etc. let's not pull an Apple Knight on ourselves and spend money immediately. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,177 504 113 #3 Brightsiderus, Dec 12, 2019 Yeah, it’s iap for weapon unlocks. I contacted the developer. Strange, but paid and free versions have different publishers metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #4 metalcasket, Dec 12, 2019 It's really interesting, isn't it? I mean, I can understand a publisher handling the release in the US instead of the developers themselves, but like, even the App Store screenshots and app description are different. Curious to see where this goes, because this legit looks incredible. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,177 504 113 #5 Brightsiderus, Dec 12, 2019 Developers said that it’s their publisher and the X version is for Canada, US and UK only. Other regions are handled by devs. Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #6 Royce, Dec 12, 2019 Last edited: Dec 12, 2019 Yeah I just checked all the major AppStore’s and those countries seem to be the only ones with this version. I’ll add some info to the OP with the other thread (not sure if they should be merged or what?). I think your info on developer vs publisher is backwards though. Celad is a large publisher, while The Time Tunnel appears to be a tiny developer. I could be wrong though. Edit: The Chinese version is also published by The Time Tunnel, but I’m not sure if that’s the same link as here or a separate version. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,177 504 113 #7 Brightsiderus, Dec 12, 2019 As the developers wrote: Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #8 Royce, Dec 12, 2019 FYI all the IAP for full game unlock is on sale for the first week. It will normally be $4.99. I just find it very hard to understand why these guys: https://www.celadgame.com/ would go to these guys: http://www.tttunnel.com/ and be like hey can you publish our game in 4 major markets? It’s really odd. Everything about this release is strange. Anyway, the game is really good so far, great tense action. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #9 metalcasket, Dec 12, 2019 Well, I mean, we really don’t know the legalities of releasing a game on the App Store. Maybe it’s easier for them to get a publisher for major markets. Let’s look at the bright side though...we got full transparency from the developers presumably before anyone spent any money! Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #10 Royce, Dec 12, 2019 Agreed. Also worth noting, though I’m not sure if it means anything, “X” is listed as version 1.0.2 with bug fixes and minor gameplay changes post-1.0.0, while the other version is simply listed as 1.0.0. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #11 metalcasket, Dec 12, 2019 Great game so far, but I don’t know why there needed to be this much IAP in a premium gaming experience. There’s definitely no one-off purchase of all the IAP, and I understand that they’re essentially cheats, but just seeing close to $50 of IAP is a little souring, you know?

Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #13 Royce, Dec 12, 2019 Yeah, I get that, but honestly I think for the most part the iaps would actually detract from the experience. I can’t imagine having a missile launcher from the start. All the tension would disappear. Infinite ammo likewise seems like an easy mode I wouldn’t be interested in if it was simply a built in game setting. I might buy one of the lightsaber iaps though if I continue to enjoy the game...

I’ve grown up playing survival horror games (especially Resident Evil) all my life and there’s just something off-putting about knowing there’s a workaround for something that should be a core mechanic (resource collection and management). While it definitely does seem optional right now, I wish the developers just increased the price of the game (full game unlock, in your case) to a cool 10-15 bucks and did without the additional IAP. With Dead Space gone, this is the only game of its ilk on the App Store and I wish it was just a one time done deal. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,177 504 113 #16 Brightsiderus, Dec 12, 2019 I can help you with that. In leftmost toilets there is a crowbar. Search all stalls. Lull4by Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 712 267 63 #17 Lull4by, Dec 12, 2019 Although there is an option to aim by yourself, I don't recommend to use it in this game because your bullets are limited, using auto-aim function for saving more bullets would help a lot, try to search every corner so you can get more loot, and it is necessary because you might miss the key items to solve some puzzles here and there. I don't encounter any pay wall here, you can just purchased the full game unlock and it is enough, maybe you can purchase a currency doubler to support developer I guess.

The problem is I can’t seem to remove them to put them where they need to be. I haven’t played since last night on my first run. I’ll have to mess around a little more later today. Thanks man metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #19 metalcasket, Dec 12, 2019 Are you sure you have ALL of them? I don't think specific mirrors go in specific holders. Wish I had read your post prior to passing that part. Would've tried to walk through it step by step. There's no pay wall in either version. Once you buy the game/full game unlock, that's all you'll ever be required to buy. My specific complaint is that there's entirely optional cheater IAP for a whopping $50. I'm just curious how much the game will be priced on Switch or PC. Yes, it's optional IAP, and the game itself is great, but I can't imagine them trying to sell it over 25 bucks max. Just feels a bit unfair that because this is on mobile, it's okay to have that sort of IAP in an otherwise premium title. Anotherkellydown likes this.

Insert them all in the holders and turn it on. No problems at all. p.s. it’s a very cruel game. Now I know WHY i have never seen zombie-kids in any game. It’s very creepy and there is a very sad moment in Nursery. Anotherkellydown likes this. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
