Report #144: Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy

Short HOG


I just beat my best time for playing a game after winning it on SG. Thanks to Last.M I won Midnight Mysteries yesterday, which was shared in our group here and Playing Appreciated. As I was required to play this game within a month I decided to install it and give it a try right away. Turned out to be very nice and rather short. So about 3 hours later I already beaten the game, even before the winner of the second copy had the chance to active their key, haha.

The game itself is a bit older. So there was one downside: You cannot change the resolution. You are stuck at I think it was 800x600 or something like that. And you have to very precise with selecting objects. For example if you are supposed to find a wheel and click in between the spokes, it does not count.

I liked that you can click on the item list and see the silhouette of the object. Makes it easier for non-native speaker.
