Friendly Fox always delivers a game I can count on for a good story and plenty of activities. This one has our detective traveling to 3 world-famous cities as someone has a maniacal scheme to destroy civilization. Detective Agatha is tasked with trying to discover who the madman is and prevent the destruction.

It's a good mystery with a solid plot that isn't going in all different directions, I found it easy to follow. It includes a few familiar names from past mystery tales that add more interest to this creative story of murderous intentions for, as always, a crazy reason.

Graphics are clear, excellent color and artwork, scenes are full of little details that I really enjoy checking out, locations aren't visually boring. I loved every HOP, great variety, lots of interactivity. Not much challenge with the puzzles, they are themed, fun, but too many for me as usual and I end up skipping quite a few. I get too frustrated sometimes.

I bought the CE. Friendly Fox is always generous with their extra content, the usual play modes make the game fun for all skill levels. Show less

I recommend this game!

i loved this game - it was true to the Dark City series which was great. Love Agatha but missed Felix (the cat).

the puzzles were fantastic - loved the handcuffs and that the police person had to wait until a task completed. Loved the evidence collecting the map and the putting of animals back. Although some of the other puzzles i have seen before there were a couple with different ...Show more

i loved this game - it was true to the Dark City series which was great. Love Agatha but missed Felix (the cat).

the hidden objects were interesting and varied.

it was a reasonable long game - took me 4 hrs (on SE version). i have a feeling that older games are definitely longer games.

definitely true to the series and a great addition to my collection of Dark City.

Try before you buy - happy gaming :) Show less

I recommend this game!

Completed Game in approximately 4.0 hours (CE version)
(including completion of all mini-games & CE Bonus Chapter)
18 Scene Locations +7 CE Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner-Intermediate

Detective Agatha has certainly made a name for herself after solving crimes in London, Munich, Vienna, Dublin, Budapest, and Paris. Her expertise in Dark City crimes will soon become an International reputation when her services are requested to investigate some very unusual cases in three of the World's largest cities. These are no ordinary crimes, a Phoenix has been sighted setting fires in New York, London is plagued with paranormal monsters, and statues are coming to life in Paris!

Collectibles/Morphing Objects:
Normally, this developer has some of my favorite collectibles and morphs. In most Friendly Fox games the collectibles are opaque and can be challenging to spot, (I LOVE the opaque collectibles) and their morphing objects are really good because they are not so-obvious objects like windowpanes, weather vanes or building decorations and adornments. (one FF game had a morphing moon if memory serves me correctly, genius!)

This isn't the case this time! The CE Collectibles are 2 large beige-colored playing cards that can't be overlooked and the morphing objects are just additional objects added, such as a large planter. All I had to do was look for something that didn't quite match the scene's color scheme to spot them within seconds which has never been the case with this developer's games...HOWEVER, with Ukraine's current situation, I can certainly understand why their creativity was stifled, and why they need to get their games back into production! I have and always will stand with Ukraine, therefore, I definitely stand with Friendly Fox!

The CE version has 50 Morphing Objects and 50 Collectible Playing Cards that are used in a card game after completing the set. Each scene has 2 of each and there is a pullout tab on the left side to help you keep track of them (a feature I do LOVE)

Gadget/Helper:
Detective Agatha has two Gadgets at her disposal, a Journal and the power of Deduction! The Journal is used to collect Evidence which is done in the form of a mini-game requiring you to correctly place characters' photos onto the correct descriptions of events that took place (drag the photos from the top of the page to the blank sentences to fill in the gaps of the story with an actual name)

The EYE DEDUCTION is made to draw a conclusion by playing a quick Hidden Object Scene where you are tasked with finding 4-6 pieces of evidence. Afterward, Detective Agatha recreates the scene of the crime, followed by a reenactment video clip to fill you in on the story.

Hidden Object Scenes:
The Hidden Object Scenes tend to be a bit dark, but otherwise decent. Besides the repetitive Hidden Object Scenes associated with the Eye Deduction Gadget and several smaller zoom zone HO's, they vary with Interactive List Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Matching Pairs, Placing Items into the scene, and one where you place Zoo animals into their correct habitats. Some of the scenes uncover objects that are required to overcome a task, such as uncovering several silver keys required to open a locked box, and some HO scenes have quick puzzles to solve.

Mini-Games:
Most of the mini-games are doable on the first attempt, and I wish some of them were a bit more complex. I love games where you have to swap fuses by following tangled, color-coded wires that match the top & bottom colors, but this particular game simply required swapping the fuses until they all lit up. Another game required selecting two different flame emblems that would join two halves of an image and the goal was to find the correct 2, but the matches were all directly opposite instead of being randomly placed :(

Bonus Chapter: (CE version only)
You will play one of my favorite characters from the first chapter, Lieutenant Liz Brooks as she investigates the disappearance of the Treasure of the Maharaja during a charity auction, and of course, everyone is convinced that the ghost of Maharaja is responsible. There are 7 Mini-Games and 9 Hidden Object Scenes, including the Evidence Journal Mini-Game and Eye Deduction Hidden Object Scene. In reality, there are several tasks that may be considered a mini-game by some, such as entering codes or matching pairs to remove them. You will continue searching for the final 14 Morphing Objects and 14 Playing Cards which allows you to play a card game against your villainous opponent.

Collector's Edition Extras:
8 Wallpapers, 11 Concept Art Pictures, 7 absolutely beautiful Screensavers, 6 Music Soundtracks, 34 Movie Video Cutscenes, 25 Achievements, 19 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, 12 Replayable Mini-Games, 50 Collectible Playing Cards (play a card game when the collection is complete) 50 Morphing Objects, 3 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a Built-In Strategy Guide.
