Very entertaining game with a whole lot of mumbo jumbo going on in my opinion! President Lincoln has asked for help locating a Confederate cache that he believes will be misused. Since we see and hear the dearly departed, we take on the case in search for the evil Jesse James and the hidden treasure. The graphics are crisp HD quality and the cut scene video was professional and of movie quality. ...Show more

Very entertaining game with a whole lot of mumbo jumbo going on in my opinion! President Lincoln has asked for help locating a Confederate cache that he believes will be misused. Since we see and hear the dearly departed, we take on the case in search for the evil Jesse James and the hidden treasure. The graphics are crisp HD quality and the cut scene video was professional and of movie quality. My favorite part is finding the 40 very well hidden clovers which will unlock unlimited puzzles. You must also find hidden ravens to acquire extra hints and I will admit that some scenes either didn't have any ravens or were so well hidden that I simply couldn't find them, either way that's how it should be! The HOS are interactive list finds where you must put two items together such as a banjo and strings, and there were a few items that were too small to actually recognize. The mini games are fun, in one of my favorite puzzles you need to place 6 pewter soldiers on a battlefield to cover the entire grid and all directions must be lit. Every scene has multiple areas of interest or inventory items to find so it doesn't become mundane. The map was a bit of a disappointment because you couldn't use it to travel to that area, but it's a decent game none the less, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

BASED ON DEMO

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Absolutely one of the best series ever, I cannot count the number of times I have played the other 4 Midnight Mysteries games. They have their own unique beauty and character, and this one has it too, despite being put together by (I think, don’t quote me) a different developer.

BASED ON DEMO

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Absolutely one of the best series ever, I cannot count the number of times I have played the other 4 Midnight Mysteries games. They have their own unique beauty and character, and this one has it too, despite being put together by (I think, don’t quote me) a different developer.

This game shows much that is new as well as the trademark elements of the series. Together, the result takes a few minutes to get used to, but that’s all you’ll need to get hooked on yet another compelling Midnight Mystery story.

SIGHTS & SOUNDS
The graphics are a bit unlike the previous games, and although they are clear and very detailed somehow fail to impress. It’s as if there is too much detail to be beautiful. Again, it’s easy to get used to. The scenes also seem a little dark, but visibility is high.

There is far more melodrama here than in the rest of the series, with both the sounds and images being designed to startle and the game is quite creepy in parts. The voiceovers are excellent, the English perfect and background noise intense. And the trademark tunes and cut scenes are still there.

WHAT’S HAPPENING
Our role as assistant to ghosts with unfinished business sees us visited this time by Abraham Lincoln. He wants us to track down a secret society and their treasure. It all has to do with the civil war, but then there’s Jesse James mixed in there too, and that's gotta be fun! (His character looks spectacular.) This story is much more threatening and supernaturally oriented, even though we’ve always dealt with ghosts. Before they were mostly harmless. These ones seem to include beings of a far more demonic nature. The story is compelling, and I was hooked almost immediately.

MAKING PROGRESS
This game is a good mix of puzzles and HOPs, following the previous games’ formula. The puzzles are not difficult, and the HOPs are all interactive lists. Some elements that I particularly like about the HOPs is that you can click on a word in the list to see a silhouette of it. As well, there is a final item which is the one you keep. Hints are collected by finding ravens, of which there are many, but if we run out, a new one will be generated over time.

There is a journal which also gives us an objectives list and a map which gives you current location and active tasks.

The SG can only be accessed through the main menu. Perhaps that’s best: I almost didn’t find the answer on my own to how to keep the cat inside – in the very first HO scene in our office!

BLING!
The usual gallery items, including two screensavers, as well as achievements, including finding 40 collectible clovers. A game called “Before & After”, and a book of Characters. SG was locked until after purchase, but we are talking about 15 each of the unlockable HOPs and puzzles, so I’m guessing a fairly good length. The demo took me 50 mins.

I am tempted to buy the CE just for the wallpaper of Jesse James and the raven screensaver, but I’m like that. Collectible clovers and ravens are part of the tradition of this series, so I doubt they will be exclusive to the CE. Show less

I recommend this game!

Graphics are clean and good and storyline is comparable to the other Midnight Mysteries, which I all own. It is an easy game, some minigames can be a bit challenging.
I play these games for the storylines and the funfactors. Still clovers to collect and ravens to find. Achievements as usual.

I enjoy games that are based on somewhat true events and where I can possibly learn something.
Yes it could be more challenging, but I love these kind of games anyway. I'm having fun and I got sucked in enough to give it 5 stars.
Even with this new dev I think they did a pretty good job.
I will be buying, especially with this sale going on. Show less

Mumbo put out another awesome game. I love this series and how Mumbo gives a little of the history with these games. The VO's really add characteristics to the game. BUT imho you don't need VO's to make an awesome game. I enjoyed the others just as much. It's the game that makes or breaks whether it's good or not. The spookiness factor is right up there with the others. The opening scene was a "WOW" factor as well. Very well done. Kudos to the team for this game.
Story: This one here we meet up with Abe Lincoln and he asks us to find the KGC before the bad dudes do. (Note: I don't emphasis too much on the story since you can read about it on the buy/try page) :)
Graphics: Beautiful. Kudos to the team. To me they were done just as beautiful as the others but a little more in depth.
H0G Scenes: Very clear. I didn't have any problems. There shouldn't be a problem for no one here :)
Mini Games: In the beta version I didn't skip one. Although the skeleton gate puzzle gave me a run for my money, but did do it. The puzzles were done just right. Not too hard or easy.
Music: Beautifully done. Really added to the game and the spookiness factor. Kudos to the team.
Hint System: Worked well outside the H0GS. None of this "There's nothing to do here, look somewhere else".
Map: Jump map. Best kind. Saves you from running back and forth like a chicken with her head cut off. I'm sure the detective appreciates it too. :)
Enjoy the game. I know I did!!!! Show less

It captured my attention with the story lines and the graphics best of all. Even the music matched the actions. My only complaint about it is with the notebook notations and it could be due to my graphics card. I played through the trial, then purchased the game a day or two later. Once I got into the game, I was trapped again and played all the way through including the bonus chapter, although it really had little to do with the game itself other than using some of the same locations. Kudos to the developers and creators of this game. Show less

I am not left feeling like a total dork because I fail to follow the story or can't find my way, everything is compact and sensible, but loses nothing in the game

There is always one hint, but if you keep your eyes open for crows you can amass even more as you go along. The hint crow takes you along to the next point and never leaves you with the 'there is nothing here' frustrating sentence.

The collected clovers have a count down and an indication that there is one in the scene, so you are not left feeling you have probably failed to find it.

All and all, I feel the Midnight mysteries are among the best of the HO games and this one didn't fail my expectations Show less

I recommend this game!

Yes, Mary Todd Lincoln was a spiritualist! What a fantastic series- I've been buying these cookie cutter games for so long (BF should name a wing after me) so I scoured the old games. As you can see, this is a very recent review, but this brings it home- barely any hand holding (YES!) Outstanding hand-drawn graphics...and the dark side of history!! Sure, the developer took some artistic license for the story's sake, but all of the characters were real people. And the puzzles jogged my brain!! Job well done- today's devs need to go back to this!! Show less
