spooky manor
I tryed this game and I was glued to the screen. I love everything about it. I was so into it that when it stopped playing and my screen went black, I was so mad. If you like hidden object games this is far one of the best ones out there. it has alot more to it than just looking for things. It is also a hard one too. I am going to buy this one. |

Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor
Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor completely captivated me from the first puzzle. This kind of game is what I’ve been looking for since Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst and Azada. Both games contain puzzles where players pick up or move pieces to make something happen. In these games, the puzzles are more of a guest star. In Secrets of Spooky Manor, the puzzles become the star. Only one drawback: It’s too short!
Each puzzle requires finding hidden objects — but not the normal way you see in most games. And this is NOT yet another hidden object game. Instead, you must find the pieces of the hidden object. A clock, for instance, could have four pieces for finding in the scene before the object appears in your inventory. Every scene hides the pieces of four objects, which boosts the challenge and cuts the predictability.
After reuniting all the pieces to recreate the objects, you can either go to the other rooms to find the rooms’ objects, try to solve the puzzle or place an object that belongs in the scene such as a putting a chess piece back on its chessboard. While nothing happens in object placement, it keeps the boredom away and makes solving the puzzle more challenging as you can’t easily figure out which piece goes where. Some objects belong in other rooms or the current room needs something from another room. For example, if you see an object needs turning off or on and your inventory contains nothing to fix this, it’s obvious the needed object hides in another room.
Creating a game with a variety of puzzles takes more time than simply throwing objects into scenes for hidden object games. Nevertheless, I hope the Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox, its sequel (no date announced anywhere), will last longer and provide as much delight as Secrets of Spooky Manor. Heck, I hope the developer plans at least two sequels! Unless you don’t like puzzles, finding things and solving things. |

It comes with a challenge
It's not your seek and find game that you look for listed objects on the left or right side of the screen. You're given objects you'll find below and what they look like, but you need to find parts of them, you can't get the whole object right away. It's also puzzle solving where to put what object.
It sums up to a great game that you can play on and on until you finish it. Sadly it's quite short but I'm hoping the sequel would come out soon. The sound effects and background music go well together and creates that spooky effect, as the name suggests.
Some object pieces are very difficult to find and you need to solve a puzzle to get the object piece. I suggest gamers to try this one out and feel the challenge. |

EXCELLENT GAME
The last games are really great but should be longer. This is one of the best games I've ever played but as the other reviewers, I think it was really short (the same thing happened with Azada)
And now? Just wait for the second part (they said that soon there will be a new adventure of Mortimer Beckett) |
