I love this way to find the objects : no list but some parts of objects to find in the scene, one after the other up to the last one.
There are several broken mirrors. You have to find their pieces to restore them, and this allows you to travel and visit different worlds. I love games like this.

I love this way to find the objects : no list but some parts of objects to find in the scene, one after the other up to the last one.
There are several broken mirrors. You have to find their pieces to restore them, and this allows you to travel and visit different worlds. I love games like this.
I played the demo and i will buy the game, and for the moment the only negative thing i found is the horrible music of the first world (style years 1920), it gets on your nerves. I don't know for the moment how are the musics in the other worlds.
There are some mini games which are mostly not so difficult.
This is an original game that changes of the usual games. Show less

I recommend this game!

I actually give this a 4.5 stars.

Cons -
Storyline... have no clue, I saved someone at the end of the game and it was a little too silly for me.
Some hand holding
No map, but don't need one. Not to much back tracking
Easy to Medium game.

FROG .. Love finding fragments of items. I can tell some thought and work went into these. They are like mini-games. You use everything that you find unlike regular Hogs.
Futuristic setting.. Really enjoyed the different worlds. Cool Train and other futuristic machines.
Flow of game went smoothly and help Button worked good
Relaxing and interesting game and it was definitely long enough for me. I spent several hours just enjoying it. Show less

Seems this game is a tad polarizing, & after playing the demo I can understand why it's a love it or hate it game. Up front, i am totally loving this outrageously cool, unusual, creative, & yep, rather strange game from a favorite dev who seems to have stepped outside of the typical game box with this one. I don't favor fragmented objects over hidden objects; they usually just drive me nuts, but for this game i'm having fun with them, & it seems a good fit. So, we've got a FROPA i guess (fragmented object puzzle adventure # with a diabolical mirror with magical powers capable of abducting people into it's convoluted world, & we have been called upon by a certain young man's sister to investigate & find the missing fellow. We're finding mirror shards along the way, which somehow are going to help us do a rescue & escape. Once we enter The Mirror's world, holy wow! It's like Steampunk Junction, folks, & it is way too cool for me. Beautifully done artwork - i was enthralled immediately. Background music i've heard so far is really appropriate, being Victorian era calliope music, which i'm loving 'cause it's an innate part of the whole steampunk atmosphere the dev's created so well. Due to the frag objects that i'm not used to, i'm moving more slowly than usual thru this, which is a little frustrating, & my main challenge so far. But i'm really liking the oddly interesting storyline, excellent artwork, & smooth game mechanics. Initially you'll have several options to personalize your gameplay, & there's a journal & a hint button/mirror. It does not seem to be a hard game, but there's plenty going on & i don't foresee boredom entering the gameplay anytime soon. Again, i get it that some will feel this to be, as one reviewer put it, "a sensory nightmare". I'm on the other side of the fence, finding it appealing & rather stimulating to the senses, which just goes to show once again, different strokes for different folk. I can't wait to buy & enjoy this sci-fi, retro-futuristic, fantasy, or what you will as far as labels. I really think if you're up for something different, & especially if you tend to like the unusual & out-of-the-ordinary, you might want to give it a demo & see how it speaks to your gaming preferences. Against the grain, I'm gonna 5 star this for a stunningly cool visual presentation, fun & interesting gameplay, intriguing storyline, & for being one of those rare pieces of work that make you say "huh?"
- hopefully with a smile. Nice job, devs! Enjoy your gaming, folks! Show less

I recommend this game!

Reminded me a bit of Enchanted Paintings. Loved the water world with its floating islands. it rather resembled the blue world in the movie Avatar. The HOS scenes were interesting in that you had to create objects which impacted on the game. It was an enchanting journey and I wished it could have gone on and on. My only complaint was the game was too short. It was over too quickly! Show less

The HOS is the ones where you have to find all the pieces of each item to use them. Music is quiet, elevator style, nothing annoying. The only thing is when I made it 55 mins, it kept throwing me out. I will wait to buy, until I hear from others.

It better continue, for it is one of the keepes.

I recommend this game!

This wasn't a very long game to finish, but I loved so much about it. The music is wonderful and changes between "kingdoms". If you played the first one, you will have a better idea how the game works. I love that the hidden objects were different than usual, which is a nice change when you play a lot of HOGs. I just wish the game had more "mirrors" I could have played this for days! Happy Gaming

I recommend this game!

Having to find pieces of an object in order to unlock other objects and then place them where they belong has made this game not only fun but challenging. It's not as easy to spot certain pieces but that only adds to the challenge for me. I also note the graphics are superb, colorful and clear on these tired eyes. I loved the 1st game in this series and I'm already looking for a 3rd installment. Happy Gaming! Show less

Congratulations to the designers and artists who developed this game. I play with sound off. I skip the story. What a fun game! No lists of boring objects to find. No tools that I'm forced to steal. No houses I'm required to break into. There may be a bolt cutter on a padlock in this game, not sure about that. That doesn't work in reality. If you have a decent padlock.

No houses I'm required to break into. There may be a bolt cutter on a padlock in this game, not sure about that. That doesn't work in reality. If you have a decent padlock. I love the exciting creativity and use of colour and fantasy as well as each hidden object scene doubling as puzzle sets. The extra puzzles were also challenging. I think I skipped a lot. Perhaps too challenging for an ageing/aged brain. The artwork, the characters, the scenes are exceptional and I'm my granddaughters will have fun sharing this game play with me. Show less

The first Mirror Mystery game is one of the very few games I have played more than once.
I love the thought the developers put into this game. It was fun and interesting to play. After a number of years, the usual hidden object games fail to interest me anymore, so it was great to see one so different.

I recommend this game!
