Unfortunately, this game is a mockery of the first. I don't think the developers even look at the playability of their game before and after applying new quests, because there are so many (Text not found) errors. Players are left wondering what they are supposed to be doing. My suggestion? Let this game die a natural death. Stick with, possibly revamp the original, with coding that actually worked. Try testing your work, instead of giving it to the players to fumble around with. Bah. I tried, I really did. I enjoyed the premise. The gameplay was ok, at first. Then, you just stopped caring. It really shows.

So basically I have to play this game online ??? Servers seem down.

Pretty nice HOG, the game works fine for me, and it takes only 52mb disk space. The negative reviews are mostly because the game couldn't be played, but the devs have fixed it. However, I wish the magnifier mode works to help lessen the eye strain.

This game is crap. Piece of s&it. Some malicious code in the background processes also.

Could be a pretty good hidden object game if it wasn't for the serious and intentional problems. Very much pay to play. Some hidden objects are almost completely hidden--just a tiny sliver shows. Rooms have timers, sometimes just a few minutes, and you need to pay in-game currency to try again, which runs out fast and then you need to spend cash money to buy more currency. Heavy reuse of the same rooms and objects makes it kind of boring pretty fast. Mis-click by even a pixel and you can be penalized 20 or more seconds off the timer.

Broken game. 'text not found' everywhere, items so small you can't distinguish, doing the same scene hundreds of times before you can see a next one, events that don't work.

Atmosphere is really good though, you really feel like this game is made by a sadist who just want to see you suffer playing this game... This game makes you play the same 4 rooms hundreds of time before maybe having a new room... No good.

Uninstall this as soon as possible.

Great concept, hoverver game is very glitchy. Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't. A lot of "value missing errors" or "text" where graphics should be.

I think I am writing this after everything was fixed - because I'm not running into any of the problems others have...

I am playing Panic Room 1 at the same time. There are a few little spoilers I have run into so far, since this game takes place 10-20 years into the future (can't remember how long exactly), and I'm almost on season 2 of the Panic Room 1 game - but those spoilers I had already figured out early on in PR1 so I didn't mind.

Things I really like about this game -

* The rooms still closed off to me in Panic Room 1 are some of the first to open in Panic Room 2. Namely, the Film Theatre, the Winter Garden and the Study (so far), so I feel like I'm getting to play most of the mansion. And those that are open in both games look different enough - with different furnishings, time of day/night seen through window, etc, - that it feels a bit like playing two different rooms, so doesn't feel too similar.

* The story is interesting, with a bit of mystery invovled.

* This game also has events - as soon as one ends, another begins. And it has contests, like the first game.

* It is a more simplistic version of Panic Room 1, but with much the same setup - friends to gift, puzzles to find, karma to give, collections to gather, daily presents from the devs - with a weekend boost to health or half price of rooms - and it is also fun. :)

Yes, there are ads to use real money to buy - ALL daily games have them. It's how the devs earn their profit since the game is free to play. But I did not find these ads so frequent as to be annoying. And some of them are for buying with in-game items - coins you earn while playing the game.

I recommend you give it a whirl - what do you have to lose?

Keep getting unable to connect to server

I just tried Panic Room 2: Hide and Seek and it works fine. Maybe it's a little inconvenient for this game's servers to be online to play, but besides that it's like many other games from this genre. You either like it or not, and if you do then I'm sure you will have fun playing this game.
