Whispered Secrets: Everburning 9+

I loved playing this game. It was not short. Wonderful graphics. Good mini-games and HOP. You have to find some through paragraphs and some where you pull a cord to go back and forth in tapestries to gather objects and then place them appropriately. The main story is Chapter 1 Outcasts. Bonus is Chapter 2 Runaway and there is a 3rd Chapter Brilliant Mind which is misleading. First off, it is locked. You have to go to Extras and tap Marbles. There were 36 to find throughout the scenes and now you can go to scenes you missed and collect the rest. Then the chapter is unlocked. I thought it was going to be another story. It is just answering riddles (multiple choice answers) to collect bat charms and escape the location. Then the game is really over. That was disappointing.

I’ve been playing these games for over a decade. I love the mystery and dark story lines many follow. I’ve played games that were so basic, I was bored in mere minutes and some very well written games but never have I played one with so many levels of intrigue. My favorite part which is def unique with this game is the puzzles. The puzzles I’m used to aren’t clever, they are hard. Whoever wrote these puzzles, BRAVO! They are so clever. They are unique. And they aren’t so easy they are boring but are solvable with some thought. I very much enjoyed this game. I don’t believe I’ve ever written another review in ten years. Thank you

I’m really picky about these kinds of games. It’s been a long time since I found a game that I’ve enjoyed as much as this one. My only issue is there was a glitch when I found the craniometer-it broke apart immediately and I did not get an item that I needed. I had to start all over again but wasn’t too upset about it because the rest of the gameplay has been so great. There are a couple of small moments where the translation, while correct, does not match the time period. Not a big deal but it did take me out of the story for a second. Overall, the gameplay is fun-not particularly difficult but not annoyingly easy. And there are a few choose your own moments that were a pleasant surprise. I’m not sorry I spent the money.
