This game is creepy fun, finally! Most of your activities make sense with what you are doing. There are a couple of locks to pick but it isn't with every step you take and not to pad out the game to make it longer. As always, I wish for more hidden object scenes vs. puzzles. However the puzzles aren't too bad for a non-puzzler like me, I only had to skip a couple. I found this game way more enjoyable than several new ones out lately. Give it a try! It is quite enjoyable, in that creep vibe kind of way....
I recommend this game!

You actually have a storyline that makes sense and activities that fit the story. I always wish for more hidden object scenes so, of course, I wish this game had more. It was a great change of pace from the mindless non-story 'adventure' with picking locks and fixing zippers and dumpster diving for bits and pieces to put together being the main part of the game, at least this one wasn't one of 'those'. After the same old boring stuff being put out here lately this game was a breath of fresh air.
I recommend this game!

Amy is an organic, probably essential oils 'tree hugger' who would have said plastic over paper which we are now learning was a HUGE mistake, BUT even so this game is fun! I would have not bought it if I hadn't beta tested it and I would have missed out on a fun game. I do wonder why the cashier always falls asleep on the job and isn't fired. Why can't the gardener see his plants need water or have bugs? Watch out for the crying kids with their red crying faces and work as hard and as fast as you can so you don't have too many customers with red angry faces who will soon leave the store! I knew it should have always been paper over plastic, glass over plastic. I also can tell the difference between all the plastic invading our clothes and natural cotton and wool so I puzzle over why someone into organic everything can't. Even so, Amy and her 'Greenmart' are quite a fun challenge! Try it and see! I heard there was an Amy's Greenmart 2 but am disappointed that I was unable to find it on here.
I recommend this game!

I would like a game that is in present day, that doesn't involve alternate realities or other worlds or hidden universes...I also would love to have more hidden objects and yet let the game still be an adventure. This game is the same scifi yawn all through. It is pretty, the graphics and scenes are great. But you pick up pieces of garbage, a little here and a little there and then you might be able to put something together. Most times the storyline is so poor you are clicking hint and consulting the map to see where you have to go and what you need to do. The story is convoluted, you set out to save your friend who has a doppelganger? in a parallel reality, who is, of course, a princess, and is, of course,sick. Except you never see her or save her or heal her and somehow you end up going after a bad guy???? Are you as lost as I? I think I'd rather clip my toenails than play yet another scifi freaky game. Let's have a little scare! Horror here and there. Paranormal anyone?
I don't recommend this game.

This would have been really cool if they had worked as much on the game as they did on the intro. I also wish they were more aware of people with vestibular issues who have problems with streams of water hidden object scenes with items on leaves floating downstream, spirals, twirling, swinging, etc. Don't you get tired of awaiting adventure only to become a professional lock picker and dumpster diver with broken bit of this and pieces of that all over your inventory? Tired of preschool busywork puzzles to pad out the game? Don't you long for a real armchair adventure with actions and activities to match it? What about repeatedly having to click hint because what you need to do is not clear enough or makes no sense and you have no clue what to do? This game has all of that! I finished the series! I made it through! I'm glad I am done! I bought the whole series! It was NOT fun! ALWAYS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!!!!
I don't recommend this game.

First off, I am not a scifi/fantasy fan for they never make any sense to me. I also go along with the other reviewers who speak of having to run all over the place, a common tactic to pad out a game to make you think it was longer and more worthwhile than it was. Back to the scifi/fantasy, I just don't understand...I am still Eve Glover and I am still multidimentioning. I am the guardian of the universes, as many as there are stars in the sky. Yet....one of my first tasks is to feed my fish, apparently when I fed my fish yesterday the clasp on my satchel broke and I wasn't responsible enough to remember to fix it until I had to feed my fish today - how's that for a galaxy guardian? I think we're in trouble. I am also a klutz for I can't seem to feed my fish or open a clasp or lock without breaking it. Who keeps their open shaker of fish food and a magnet together in a satchel - what a mess! Going through the portals is a vestibular nightmare. They can't decide if Exarch is ch as in chair or arch as in ark. Why do they all have to have such strange names? Nidoli, Onslow, Brood, Lucien, Arden, Chalice, Eranus, Lyen to name a few. Either I break every clasp or lock or piece of machinery I come across or no one else has used them until they are old and broken? But, they don't look old and broken so I sense busywork and this story is inane. Why are there always floating things and fairy twinkle lights, alchemy and potions. The Nidoli elders' names: Hosul Etny, Toar Saysuk? Itgar Neet, Wortas Garel, Arom Cyet, Vorom Umari - wish they had been as creative in making up a game! It is all like watching a godzilla movie when godzilla gibberish spews forth. What exactly is a Guardian of the Universes' job description? It seems to be to find bits of things to open locks and doors, cubbies and drawers etc. And if I am the Guardian then why do I have to do all the grunt work, shouldn't the grunts under me be doing it? Why are things like Chalice personified? Nope, this type of game is not for me. I was so relieved when it ended. I only have one more in the series to go and I have learned my lesson well, ALWAYS do the trial before you buy a game!!!
I don't recommend this game.

These have all been awful for me, a big lesson in always try the trial before you buy the game. In all fairness I am not a scifi otherworld fantasy whatever person, and I find stories like this boring as heck! It begins with: you must sacrifice your civilization in order for it to survive, by freezing it??? These storylines make zero sense to me. The world of Corra is in distress and why is it Eve Glover's mission to explore all the worlds, as many as there are stars in the sky? And why does this mean she has to go and try to save Corra? We don't know and we are never told and the story goes downhill from there. You can always tell a badly thrown together storyline because they will give you game after game and puzzle after puzzle for busywork to try to make it seem like a pathetic game was worth your money. All that said I did hold my own for a bit, then realized that I was beginning to feel nauseous and weird, I have vestibular issues and with this game you are constantly looking through falling snow and nothing holds still, if you have a paper to read it tips up and down - back and forth and sideways, teetering about. Things are always moving either in your face or in the background so this quickly became a game for me to get out of as soon as possible. I thought about ending it early but that didn't seem fair so I persisted to the end. And it quickly became 'click hint' for what to do next and 'skip' because of bad directions to some idiotic puzzle. Even the hidden object scenes made little sense and were turned into puzzles in some way shape or form (anything to make the game longer...) for instance in one hidden object scene it said "pinecone (2) poppies (2)" most people would think that meant find two pinecones or find two poppies - but NOooo, it meant find matching pairs. Sheesh!!! I am so glad to be done with this game and only have two more to get through before I can go on to something hopefully more pleasant. Take everything all the bad reviews say about this game, multiply it by 100, add in the vestibular issues and that was my horrid gaming experience with this one. I hope the next two games in this series are better but since those would be the exception I am not holding my breath. See you back with the stupid guardians....
I don't recommend this game.
Take on villains, magic, and luck itself to prove that love conquers all!

I cannot believe I wasted my afternoon playing the full trial. All busy work: it started out having me jump through hoops to find a key to get out of my own dressing room and open my own purse. It got worse from there. Running to and fro fixing this and collecting that, taking up time in order to hide the fact that there is very little story. 90 minutes, and all that happened was she got kidnapped, he couldn't find her, she found him. That's all. Not creepy, not scary, no mystery, almost no story line. Just tedious job after job, doing ridiculous things like opening drawers with belts, breaking furniture to have to prop it on books, etc. They seem to add all this busy work to make the game longer so you'll think it's worth your money, but I didn't even think it was worth paying the $2.99 for. Will not be buying, a waste of time. A poor storyline is a poor storyline, and I'm tired of being a professional lock picker.
I don't recommend this game.

Here we go down yet another world's rabbit hole. Strange how all these 'other worlds' are so similar! This is just not my type of game. I want something spooky, supernatural, mysterious, that will hold my attention. A well written storyline and great hidden object scenes. I hate all the busywork puzzles, must every lock, book, room etc have one? I don't think it would in real life - but then again, we aren't in real life are we? Now there is 'dark' harmonium as well as light. Dark and light Harmonium are out of balance so it's the end of the world I tell ya! I am with the CCPP although I never quite found out what that stood for, I think it was mentioned offhand in one of the games in this series. And by the way - all the moving rune puzzles were very dizzying for someone with vestibular issues. Please think of those with disabilities when creating a game. I have three more to go in this series and I question why I bought them every time - it was because they were done by Eipix. Now I know to try anything before I buy it!
I don't recommend this game.

I beta tested this game and it is horrid. I can't believe they said it got a bunch of positive reviews from the beta testers. Note too that this is not really Mystery Case Files but An MCF story - they are only trying to get you to grab it thinking it would be a Mystery Case Files Game but it is well below that. The reviews mention having to click hint and skip a lot and not being able to make it through the game - that is because the game storyline is poor and the actions you need to carry out make no sense. In confusion your only options are to click hint and skip or end the game and most of us will click hint and skip hoping the game will clear up and get better. This is like watching a bad movie you can't believe you sat through to the end. Don't even bother with beginning this game.
I don't recommend this game.
