Huh. You know, I definitely remember the first Fairy Tale Mysteries game being better than this.
This dev publishing for Artifex Mundi is one of the weaker ones, and this HOG is a weak game. It has a peculiar system where all the items you need to use are acquired by gathering its components throughout the world. A handful of other hidden object games do this, but never this poorly. It’s telling that this ‘objective item gathering’ system isn’t used in its little extra episode.
The story’s kind of meh, and the voice acting isn’t great either. The two female guardians have nice costume designs, though.
This is on the lower rungs for hidden object games - unless you really need your hidden object fix, feel free to pass this by.
Next up: Recently BLAEO user Zelrune was nice enough to gift me a game, and I’m going to play it!
See you soon!
