    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is criticized for being extremely short, filled with plot holes, and lacking depth, leading to a convoluted and ludicrous narrative. While it offers some engaging puzzles and a bonus chapter that provides additional context, overall, the storytelling fails to leave a lasting impression.

    • “Just like all the Mystery Case Files games, it has a crazy convoluted story but good puzzles.”
    • “Beating the game unlocks a bonus chapter which gives you further details from a different character in the story as well as gives some vague hints about what the next game in the series may hold.”
    • “While they are serviceable for the story, nothing really stands out.”
    • “The story is extremely short with multiple plot holes.”
    • “Half a story, sequel to the harbinger, short, and bad.”

  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as competent but unremarkable, lacking memorable qualities compared to other titles that utilize royalty-free music. While the collector's edition offers access to the soundtrack and additional content, the overall impression is that the music does not significantly enhance the gaming experience.

    • “Additionally, as this is the collector's edition, you have access to the music, minigames, etc. in a separate menu.”
    • “The background music is competent, but certainly nothing stands out.”
    • “As this is the collector's edition, you have access to the music, minigames, etc. in a separate menu.”

    • “I wouldn't be surprised if the studio was only allowed a small budget, which would explain the visuals.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is noted as a positive aspect, featuring a variety of small games that add diversity and keep the experience engaging.
