It's difficult to recommend Blue Toad because of its short length, high price tag, and complete lack of replayability. The lack of a hint system is also a major omission, and the ability to skip through puzzles makes the game all too easy. With the right group of friends or family members, Blue Toad is definitely good for a few giggles--just be prepared for a short and expensive ride.
Independent studio Relentless Software has removed the mandatory price tag from Murder Files as they kick off a 'pay what you want' campaign, with 20% of proceeds going to charity GamesAid.
CEO Andrew Eades admits it's "an experiment as much as anything" and didn't want price to block PC gamers from discovering Murder Files. This could happen more in the future.
Relentless Software co-founder Andrew Eades has revealed some very tasty sales figures for Blue Toad Murder Files.
The charming and child-friendly digital-only title has now reached over 500k sales for its episodes, with the number jumping to 827k when free episodes are included.
"Between 13th and 27th April in Europe and 19th April and 3rd May in North American, Episode 1 of the successful franchise can be downloaded free by all PlayStation Network users."
April 19th was the first day this game was offered for free. The time frame of this was interupted with the network being taken down on April 20th. When the PSN store comes back, it would be a logically prediction to say the Blue Toad Murder Files First Episode would still be free to download. Some of you have been complaining about owning all five games Sony offered, it is unlikely you have this one.
I've played through the entire game. It's more fun with a full set of 4 players.
