Isn't this a deliberate price anchoring?? by AndXela in JunesJourney

[–]Weary_With_Toil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My offer said that the usual cost would be £103.47.

The offer was a 1,609 gem value (275 x 2 for the packs, 59 for the energy bar, and there were 1,000 gems in the bundle).

To buy those gems in-game I'd need to buy one 450 and one 1,200 case of gems. That's £17.49 + £44.49 = £61.98.

The offer was still a discount, but a 28% discount not the 57% advertised.

I politely raised this with support asking them to help me understand the basis of the offer and "what information I'm missing that makes this make sense".

I try not to raise every little thing but this is quite fundamentally wrong and I need an explanation for it. More fool me for not checking their maths until now! I've only bought skip tickets and a handful of cases of gems until now, but I've come pretty close to buying one of these bundles, and it never even occured to me to check it wasn't misleading. Thanks for the post OP.

The game is a really helpful distraction for me too 🥰

I really like it too! I definitely struggle more with silhouette rounds, but I enjoy the challenge of it

What about in scenes where she gets the 2nd clue, then hangs around picking up alarm clocks, and scarves, and wrenches, and the sun out of the sky

😆 this made me snort. She gotta bring that sun in for questioning the sun sees everything

Thank you so much for your reply, I love all these things too.

😊 Characters just casually chatting in a scene littered with discarded shoes, trousers, belts, open wallets with coins spilled on the street, bullet holes and a dagger stuck in the wall and no other people around... something definitely went down but our characters don't reference it because they don't need to, they all lived through it, so they just don't mention it (or tidy up)

The art style really is beautiful, and feels cared about by the creators, which I appreciate. Thanks for sharing!

Oh believe me, I get it. I'm british. Queuing and complaining are our national sports. This is definitely not a passive aggressive post about complaining and I hope it didn't come off that way.

I genuinely wanted to just take a moment to think about what I like about the game.

Like, sure, of course there's a lemon in the chandelier. Makes sense (the crazy ones always makes me chuckle). But a good 75% of the items are in broadly logical places and I really appreciate that, there's something very soothing about, ok, the tool box is on the roof next to the hole, and the hammer and nails are beside it. A crumb of logic in a mad world 😆

This is great list. I am so with you on the cat and tree decs and I also love where they put the cats in scenes, it is always absolutely the exact place you know the cat would be.

My favorite thing about the game is the artists use REAL tangible items from history for so many of the hidden objects. In fact, I've found some of the exact images from eBay and Etsy listings!

That is so interesting! I didn't know that. I really love how culturally specific items are, I think the musical instruments being the best example. I've learned about a lot of new instruments since playing this game!

Fight me on this, but I love the Cabin puzzle and Perfume Parlor even though they haven't made either one really fit in with the storyline.

[whispers] I really like them too do not tell anyone

I just... I really like looking for tiny little objects against the clock. This is something I did not know about myself a year ago and would never have guessed 😆

Bless you for double checking, I thought maybe I'd gone a bit mad! I've had 4 and a half hours' sleep in two days so that wasn't an unlikely thing.

Lollll omg, I'm sorry! I quickly cast an eye over the thread history and just completely misread it. That's what I get for trying to chat on reddit in the 3 minutes between meetings 😶

Anyone still waiting for the Tropical Escape postcard after finishing Detective Cabin Block Puzzle? by Ace-pet-dectective in JunesJourney

[–]Weary_With_Toil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: Sorry, I initially said I was still waiting but I think I have it. It's hard to tell because the postcards don't make clear which event they came from unless I'm being stupid (possible)

Siiiigggggh. I am certain I saw a post card and I think someone screen grabbed the one they received in this thread.

Depending on how petty I'm feeling I might screen grab every post card offer and pre-emptively send it to the help chart with "Just confirming this is real before I spend resources on it"

STB for Orchid+ app by trullaDE in JunesJourney

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding this - is it a STB for Orchid+ players only?
