Mystery Chronicles: Murder Among Friends [Game Download] Review

This is a wonderful game for older children, and in particular, for adults. Unlike many hidden object games the player has to select the option to be given a clue. In some games the object will sparkle slightly if enough time has passed in between finding objects. Not so here, and some of them are so well hidden that asking for clues is going to be necessary, even if you have incredibly sharp eyes.

The puzzles are challenging without being impossible. Although on two separate puzzles the instructions are written poorly enough that I had to consult an online guide to even begin the solution. That would be the only proviso, some of the instructions are not written in a clear manner. If you don't have familiarity with some of the games referenced, do yourself a favor, stop the game and hop online to read basic instructions for the game reference (examples: Sudoku, Minesweeper, Mahjong) as the game instructions are not sufficient unless you've already played the referenced game). This game is likely too difficult for a child under twelve in spots, and may require adult assistance. Also, the subject material is better suited to older children. There are two options "relaxed mode" which will not time the game, or "timed" in which it is possible to run the clock out, if you are not using hints, in the later chapters in the games.

The puzzles do increase in difficulty up until the last chapter. Younger children will require assistance and may grow frustrated.

This is probably not the best game for beginning gamers as some familiarity with the hidden object/puzzle games will help in the more challenging areas. Great graphics, and well designed, the weakest part of the game is the story behind it. However, that's the least concern when it comes to actually playing the game.

A rare hidden object/puzzle game, clearly designed to appeal to adults as well. Highly recommended. Although playtime runs right around the five hour mark, please be aware that if you re-select a chapter to play, the required objects list changes. It's not simply the same game over and over, so it does warrant a replay.
