fromWould be interesting to know, if other big cities in the world have their secret parts as well?

The big cities and their dark sides are always worth a game….

In a way a weird story: there is not only the human race, which brought more or less problems to others, when they appeared. Caused by these, the other races drew back into a part, they called the Secret City. It is hidden from human eyes. Those other races are the Lakrians (four armed mages), the Yotuns (blue skinned giants) and the ...Show more

The big cities and their dark sides are always worth a game….

In a way a weird story: there is not only the human race, which brought more or less problems to others, when they appeared. Caused by these, the other races drew back into a part, they called the Secret City. It is hidden from human eyes. Those other races are the Lakrians (four armed mages), the Yotuns (blue skinned giants) and the dwarves. They have chosen to live in different parts of the Secret City, the dwarves underground, the Yotuns in parks and areas, left to nature and the Lakrians in the city. So much for the background.

We are a special detective, known for his skill and discretion. One day we receive the call of Sakir, a Lakrian, and he asks for our services to investigate murders in the Secret City. There have been two victims so far. The killer doesn’t kill, he takes the victim’s souls and leaves the lifeless bodies. Sakir is sure, the killer uses magic and hands us glasses, to see the hidden features in the Secret City, normally not to be seen by human eyes.

In the intro we learned of a couple, who wants to have children but they belong to different races and are genetically incompatibley, As a mage, the man wants to solve the problem with a ritual: he needs 12 souls. Here we are: the murderer is this mage and he will be difficult to stop. The glasses – are we back in the Mystery Tales? As there, the glasses show otherwise hidden features but not necessarily the events, that lead to the situation, we find. Perhaps the glasses will play a bigger role later in the game. But with these different races we have a fantasy portion added to a modern reality. Just a new spice in the soup or how will this play out?

HOS and puzzles are, as usual for Domini, quite creative and challenging. Hope, this will not be a successor of the Mystery Tales but a series of its own. Show less

I recommend this game!

I am amazed, stunned and blown away! I remember the feeling when the first Surface game was released and well I didn't think it would happen again since HOBs have been quite straight forward the past like 10 years. But this is new, uniqe and just as fantastic as that feeling of wonder I had 10 years ago. How it only recieve 4 stars is also a wonder....This is the game of the year for me!

I recommend this game!

This game kept my interest up all the way through. There were lots of collectibles, some easy some hard. The HOS were varied which made them entertaining and not the same old same old.

There is a map which makes it quicker to get around, and most of the puzzles were doable for me (I'm not great at puzzles) but when I couldn't do them I could skip.

This game kept my interest up all the way through. There were lots of collectibles, some easy some hard. The HOS were varied which made them entertaining and not the same old same old.

There is a map which makes it quicker to get around, and most of the puzzles were doable for me (I'm not great at puzzles) but when I couldn't do them I could skip.

The bonus chapter was just as well done, and one of the longest bonus chapters I've seen.

I really like this "hidden city" concept, and hope they will do more. I highly recommend this game! Show less

This was exactly the type of game I have been looking to play. The 90 minute trial, I usually get done the trials with other games with lots of extra time left. Usually that means that the games will go by fast for me. This game, I actually went through the entire 90 minute demo. It was challenging and fun game with a variety of challenging puzzles for all levels. I highly recommend it.

I recommend this game!

This is the best game I have played in a very long time. I thought the story line was quite interesting, in that the humans could not see the other races without special glasses. You play the detective (of course) hired to find the person / being responsible for all the killings and soul taking.

My biggest concern with the game, was the amount of hand holding when it came to finding various special items. As an intermediate/ advanced player, I would have liked to see a little less in the custom mode, but maybe not as hard as the advanced mode.

I really enjoyed the graphics and thought the voice overs were very well done. Some of the music and sound affects were a little annoying, but you can always turn them down.

This game IMO is the best I have played since returning to Big Fish Games. I have been gone for almost a year out of boredom, but with games like the Secret City series, I will remain a loyal player. Be sure and try the trial game before buying. Show less

I recommend this game!
