Is It Any Good?
CHRONICLES OF MYSTERY takes the hidden-object genre into new territory by weaving a deep and compelling plot -- in which the search for hidden objects actually makes sense -- and adding tons of variety with multiple other kinds of puzzle mini-games that pop up along the way, all of which are tied into the action of the story. The game feels less like a scavenger hunt for random items and more like a genuine interactive mystery. Fans of the hidden object genre should love this intriguing and atmospheric adventure.
