I just can’t get enough of Alchemy-themed games, it would seem. In addition to my well-established love of the Atelier series of games – JRPGs in which an alchemist has to create her way out of troublesome situations – I’ve enjoyed every one of the botany/alchemy games that Artifex Mundi has put out.
After the Botanist hero’s success in saving the Slavic theme park and saving a rare plant in Eventide, it’s time for a mountain-climbing vacation with her niece. Her mistake – going mountain climbing in the same region where the first game took place, an area she knows full well is packed with goblins, imps, and villainous magic.
It’s another game preview from the good folks at Artifex Mundi! This time it’s Prince of Persia-themed, as well as being another entry in the unofficial ‘herbalist’ series of games that give players a chance to make the healing potions that keep adventurers spry and vigorous!
Wartime isn’t a particularly popular setting for Hidden Object Games – they are, by their very nature, not particularly combat-intensive – so I was excited to see how the developers at Brave Giant were going to handle the combination.
I’d played the last game in the Nightmares From The Deep series, and enjoyed it thoroughly, so my expectations were high going into this game. I’ll start off this piece by saying that yes, they were met, and this is another high-quality game published by Artifex Mundi, but in addition to general production excellence, the game had something of a huge surprise for me.
So take the title with a grain of salt. In the first place, I’m relatively certain that whatever happened in Kisilova, there were fewer sliding block puzzles involved than the game would suggest. Still, the game presents an intriguing premise – people are dying in a remote village, vampires are […]
Set in and around a tourist park deep in the woods of eastern Europe, Eventide casts players as a botanist attempting to help out her grandmother by using her expertise to help preserve an ancient and mystical flower. This leads her on a journey through an ancient forest populated by […]
As the second game covered in my ‘Hidden Object Drinking Game’ series, my memories of this one are a little muddy, so please bear with me on some of the finer points. The game concerns a woman (a reporter, maybe?) whose father or grandfather (definitely one of those) has an […]
This review is going to be a little less precise than usual, as Emerald Maiden was the subject of the first ever Hidden Object Drinking Game, so my judgement can't be trusted 100%. Still, I'm fairly comfortable with the amount of attention paid to the game, and that this […]
It's time for another HOGuru Preview! Hidden Object Style! Which makes it a 2-peat! Although I guess they just have the word repeat. Once again, Artifex Mundi has provided this game through their beta testing program, and just like with Grim Legends, they're allowing me to post my playthrough of […]
