Scarlett Mysteries 12+

Unique storyline with outstanding character voice overs - Very believable. The graphics are crisp, beautiful & clear. Loved the hidden object scenes & puzzles. Teleporting map was given early on. I always look forward to this companies games as they are so creative & always pay attention to detail. Looking forward to their next release - can't come too soon for me!! Thank you for this Great entertainment that you create. 😀 🌟 ❤️

This was one of my favorite storylines from Artifex Mundi with equally enjoyable gameplay. That being said, the game was short and, unlike so many other titles from this and other developers, there was no Bonus Chapter to unlock/play following completion of the main game. It pains me to admit that I would probably not recommend this title to others — despite the exciting gameplay and storyline, there are simply too many other titles I would recommend sinking your $6-$7 into. Countless titles from this and other developers will provide a much more satisfying ROI.

This is so unfortunate in that the game shows SO much potential!! I can only hope that any additional titles in this series provide a little more gameplay for my $7 (which I will likely seek out as I am curious as to how this story will unfold!!).

Also, there are 2 options for purchase. If you choose to purchase, I recommend downloading the trial version and purchasing through the app via the main menu’s “Unlock” option vs. purchasing and downloading the app labeled as “Full” (the one requiring purchase prior to download from the App Store) — the former appeared to be formatted better for my iPhone 11 Pro Plus. The objective text that appears on the left side of the screen was cut off a little, but I prefer that with full screen (edge to edge) graphics to an overall smaller gameplay screen. Just my personal opinion!

I love Artifex Mundi games and definitely have my favorites. But that means I compare every game I play back to those favorites (I.e. the Enigmatis series). The game is unsurprisingly beautiful, the music and noises are pleasant and enhance the game play, and the mini games are different but familiar. I do find that the story sequences are slow to end with a lot of time between the end of dialogue and when game play starts up again. The storyline is similar to other hidden object mystery games I’ve played before but with enough differences that I don’t feel like I can guess the outcome right away. My preference is for darker storylines and I would say this falls in a safer category when it comes to that. Overall, enjoyable and has all the qualities that I love from Artifex Mundi games but I was left wanting for a deeper/darker plot and faster game play.
