Ignac is a well known alchemist and craftsman who has been secretly experimenting with clay and fire. He has been trying to breathe life into a Clayborne to protect the citizens of Prague. Something goes terribly wrong however, causing his creation to wreak havoc on the city, and the King to sign his death warrant! Ignac's daughter Ilona must search for the truth and discover her father's true intentions to save her father from certain death. Ilona stumbles onto evidence that could lead to the abolishment of alchemy altogether, as she discovers daunting evidence of foul play within the Order of Alchemy!

Although this story is eerily similar to the Golems story, I found this game to be a well written and entertaining game, even if the storylines been presented in every way possible. The graphics are top notch and the puzzles are very clever. There are several Achievements to earn as well as 43 Hidden Fire Symbols to find. Some of the scenes have hidden pieces of Stone Plates that form Animal Alchemy symbols once all three fragments have been found.

The Hidden Object Scenes are varied and usually multi-layered, there are the usual types, Progressive Silhouetted Shape finds where you find the first item that matches the Silhouetted Shape and use that item in the scene interactively to expose the next item. There are also Listed items during a narrated story where you find items in Bold Print, Fragmented mirrors shards to find, and drawings that depict something missing or an object needed to achieve the end result. Some of the HOP's have a Morphing Object to find as indicated by a swirling icon. You can opt to play a game of Stepping Stones instead, a click and drag variation of a Match 3 game.

The Mini Games are quite decent, most of them are somewhat time consuming, but doable. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Open several doors to match identical pairs of cogs.

2) Select an image from the bottom of the screen, the sun and moon show how to set the hands of the clock on the top screen. Use the reference page to point hands to the correct zodiac symbols.

3) Move the buttons so the number match how many times the symbol is shown on a reference.

4) Turn the needle using arrows until only the three symbols indicated on the drawing are lit, then rotate the crystals to guide the light beam to the bottom.

5) Draw a Line that connects the starting point to each triangle with limited moves and without moving diagonally or crossing the same field.

This Collector's Edition has 43 Hidden Fire Symbols, 15 Morphing Objects within the HOP's, 20 replayable Puzzles, 15 replayable HOP's, replayable Skipping Stones games, a Souvenir Boat, 3 hidden Animal Alchemy Symbol stone plates for 8 different animals, 15 Videos, 9 Music Soundtracks, 8 Wallpapers, 8 Concept Art pictures, 14 Achievements to earn, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Adventure, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

HELLO FELLOW FISHIES!

I am diving into the pond today to tell you that I really enjoy “Myths of the World: Born of Fire and Clay”!

This game has exceptionally high graphic quality. There is a visually stunning attention to detail, deeply saturated, bright colors, with good contrast and lots of interesting things to look at in each new location. The soundtrack is very good, with crisp environmental sounds, nice sound effects related to using objects or solving puzzles and a very nice musical score.

I appreciate the overall level of difficulty versus ease in the adventure aspects of the game, as well as within the mini games and puzzles. I found game play simple enough not to cause undo frustration, with just enough challenge to make me think a bit. I find the puzzles quite fun to solve. As someone who is not a hidden object enthusiast (old eyes), I love that they gave us an interesting alternative game to play.

This game has souvenirs to collect, 43 fire symbols to find within the locations, 8 animal alchemy symbols to collect, morphing objects and 14 achievements to accomplish. The map transports and, if you like, will indicate areas of interest as well as objectives. As with most collectors editions, there is also a bonus chapter to play.

Overall, I strongly encourage you to give this game at least a trial play to see if you enjoy it as much as I do.

HAPPY GAMING!

I think this is one of the best games offered thus far in 2016. Myths of the World: Born of Clay and Fire Collector's Edition is a hidden object adventure game in which your goal is to collect useful objects and combine them in order to advance from one scene to the other. There are interactive hidden object scenes and puzzles to solve as well, and they usually REALLY challenge you to find the right patterns, or to move certain objects in such a way as to unlock a certain mechanism. You play the role of ILONA, daughter to an acclaimed Alchemist. Your home town of Prague of under the threat of destruction and you must face the Tyrant Libor and his Gargoyle army in order to save the day. When a Clayborne Super Gargoyle is forged from clay and fire the situation seems almost impossible to defeat, but you must and use all of your Alchemy knowledge in the process. It is your duty to protect the other inhabitants and find out how to stop the creature from destroying the city altogether. As always, the graphics are sublime, at least if you do not mind the lack of a third dimension, or the inability to walk around freely. However, in my minds eye this means that every scene is beautifully hand drawn and as detailed as possible, which is a lot more pleasant than a lot of 3D games out there. In addition, there’s really excellent voice acting to add some personality to the characters. I thought the story was very unique, original, and extremely engaging. Half way thru the adventure I almost referred to the strategy guide because I was confused about directives, but I didn't because I feel like I am cheating when I do. I have played all of the Myths of the World editions and this one seems the most difficult with regard to gameplay and some of the puzzles were way to hard and I had to "SKIP". Some of these puzzles might require quite a bit of reasoning, but you always have the option to "SKIP" them entirely if you choose a lower difficulty level. It may not be fair, but there’s nothing fun about the game if you struggle and you are frustrated all the time. All in all, Myths of the World: Born of Clay and Fire Collector's Edition is a great entry in the series, a well as quite the pleasant hidden object adventure game on its own. Hence, if you are a fan of the genre, this should definitely be on your list. Beginners may need the strategy guide so I am glad its included. Worthy of far more than just 5 stars this series just gets better and better...I highly recommend!!!

It’s time to pull out those dusty chemistry sets and find some special ingredients as we become master alchemists in this new Myths of the World game. Prague is in turmoil and what’s even worse; your father has been arrested and sentenced to death. He is suspected of creating the monsters that are decimating the city so it is now up to you to save your father in this absolutely terrific new Myths of the World Born of Clay and Fire. You play the game as Ilona, the daughter of a respected alchemist in Prague. As you try to save your father you open up some secrets and uncover what might have gone wrong with his work to create golems that would serve the king and citizens of the city.

There are four modes of gameplay that you can choose: Apprentice, Scholar, Grandmaster, and Alchemist (custom mode). In custom mode the hints can be set to recharge in a range of 10 to 120 seconds and the skips offer a range of 10 to 400 seconds. The terrific graphics should not come as a surprise and coupled with the voiceovers and sound we have the total package that creates an excellent game. The game has six chapters and in the CE is accompanied by a 48 page strategy guide – a good indication that this is a game of decent length.

The interactive map is found at beginning of game. Early in the game you acquire Chalk that provides you with a special ability. Thankfully, I didn’t have to complete a mini-game to activate it before use and I wouldn’t classify it as a gimmick.

The HOS are nothing new but are interactive and excellent. The HOS include a nice mix of scenes including silhouette, list, very interactive and storybook that help to keep things interesting. If you enjoy the mini-games then you will find some excellent ones in Born of Clay and Fire. IMHO, the mini-games seem to be a bit more challenging and some I haven’t seen before. Although I hate to do it, I had to skip one of the minis early in the game because I couldn’t figure out how it worked. Guess I will have to cheat and peek at the SG I know that many gamers are much better at understanding and completing some mini-games so for them they might seem easy but for me they were more challenging than usual, which I do happen to like.

The CE extras include collectibles, morphing objects, achievements, bonus chapter, strategy guide, replay of puzzles and HOPS, a souvenir boat, skipping stones, videos, pictures, music, and the HOP skip mini-game – skipping stones. At least for me, this is a fairly good CE package that will make it worth the extra dollars.

Myths of the World has become one of my favorite series and I eagerly look forward to each new game knowing that fun times lie ahead. Born of Clay and Fire is no exception and I was captured by the demo and knew this was a game I had to add to my library. The story is put together in a logical manner and is quite interesting, which coupled with the gameplay and all of the other features make the entire game excellent. This developer has a knack of creating some of the most interesting games on the market and this one seems to be close to the top of the list. After playing the beta for the game, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the full release to see how it all plays out. Even though I happen to love the game, please try the demo to see if it is one you will enjoy. Show less

I recommend this game!

I was leery of this being just another HOG, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. The HOG games were, for the most part, more than just find and click objects, and that gets a high mark for me.
