  • Faithful adaptation to the Miss Fisher TV series with well-portrayed characters, atmosphere, and music that captures the 1920s vibe.
  • Engaging, cozy detective visual novel with light hidden object and puzzle elements; enjoyable for fans and newcomers who appreciate storytelling and character development.
  • Beautiful artwork and wardrobe collectibles add charm and extra engagement; narrative choices and witty dialogues enhance immersion.
  • Game is incomplete with only two episodes available, leaving the overarching story unresolved, disappointing players hoping for continuation.
  • Gameplay mechanics, especially deductions and repetitive rechecking locations, can be clunky and unintuitive, forcing unnecessary backtracking and multiple plays.
  • Limited interface options, lack of voice acting, poor save system, and technical issues like crashes and no windowed mode reduce the user experience.

  • story

    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers two self-contained mystery episodes with well-crafted, engaging stories that stay true to the original show and characters, providing a fun experience for fans and newcomers alike. However, the overall narrative remains incomplete due to the cancellation of the third episode, leaving the main plot unresolved and frustrating for players expecting a conclusion. Story choices offer minor variations but do not significantly impact replayability, making the focus largely linear and story-driven.

    • “Writing and art are excellent, and the game feels like a real Miss Fisher story.”
    • “+ The storytelling is very well done (I got really curious about who was the murderer - and no, it was this time not the gardener or butler!).”
    • “The cases were intriguing and the story fantastic, as well as staying true to the character I'm familiar with from the show; they did a fantastic job, I'm only disappointed that there won't be a 3rd episode to finish off the bigger story.”
    • “The game has the weirdest pace where plot is just skipped through but random irrelevant parts the game just spends a weirdly long time on.”
    • “It's a shame the story will probably never be finished.”
    • “But episode 3 got cancelled, so the story doesn't have a conclusion and there's really no reason for anybody to buy this now.”

  • music

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 52% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its authenticity and atmosphere, featuring period-appropriate tracks including the recognizable theme from the TV series. It significantly enhances immersion, complementing the game's suspense and comedic moments, though occasional volume issues in certain areas were noted. Overall, the soundtrack plays a major role in capturing the essence of the roaring 20s and enriching the player experience.

    • “It's very atmospheric, with wonderful soundtracks and illustrations.”
    • “The graphics, writing and music manage to capture the essence of the show really well.”
    • “Overall, the music was amazing and played a major role in building the atmosphere whether it was suspense or comedy.”
    • “I burst out laughing when within the first introduction of the morgue lady and secretary they are shown to fall in love with a music sting to go along with it... who gives a damn?”
    • “Some places have music in the background that is too loud (I am used to using headphones, my gosh, what a difference between the theatre and other places...).”
    • “The music was the same as the credit music in the TV series, and it was nice period background and atmospheric music at the right places.”

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay is primarily a point-and-click detective adventure focused on examining locations, gathering clues, and making deductions, which keeps the experience engaging and varied. While generally praised for its story integration and unique mechanics, some users find the repeated need to re-check areas with different companions unnecessarily extends playtime. Overall, the gameplay is well-received for combining investigation with narrative, though it remains mostly linear with minor choice impacts.

    • “This game is based on point-and-click adventures, a gameplay style that works really well with detective mysteries.”
    • “Although I felt the story was strong and good enough on its own for a game, it was really good they had the examine scenes and the deductions as it kept the gameplay varied and fresh, and the deductions just make sure you are following the story and keeps you more engaged.”
    • “The gameplay has Phryne, sometimes accompanied by Dot or Jack, wandering around locations and speaking to characters in order to get clues to the case she is on.”
    • “The biggest flaw is the mechanic requiring you to re-check spots you've already examined later with a different companion. It's completely unnecessary and feels like a cheap way for the developer to increase gameplay time.”
    • “There are two different cases at the present time (episode 3 is coming but the number planned is unknown). The second case is better in terms of gameplay and offers more story choices, although these choices only result in minor differences as both cases are mostly linear.”
    • “The gameplay involves Phryne, sometimes accompanied by Dot or Jack, wandering around locations and speaking to characters to get clues related to the case she is on.”

    • “The graphics, writing, and music manage to capture the essence of the show really well.”
    • “Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze is a cozy little crime game with a very nice story and beautiful graphical expression true to the television series aesthetics.”
    • “The artwork is spot on and the characters are true to the TV show, even though they get less screentime in this game.”
    • “There's no graphic settings at all (not even a windowed mode or a resolution toggle), I ran into numerous bugs, no voice acting... the achievements are fine, as is the collection, but it's all very basic.”
    • “Poor graphics and animation, no voices, repetitive stuff, long to play; so many 'pick your choice' with one choice available.”
