Blue Toad Murder Files™: The Mysteries of Little Riddle

Wir machen Urlaub in Little Riddle und vor unseren Augen passiert ein Mord. So beginnt die Geschichte und führt uns in 6 Episoden mit je 12 Rätsel- und Knobelaufträgen zum Mörder. Optisch ansprechend und gut vertont im Stil der Miss Marple Filme. Leider nur komplett in Englisch, dass man auch beherrschen sollte. Der Aufbau der Episoden ist immer gleich: Man wird durch die Storyline geschleift und erhält alle 3-5 Minuten eines der Rätsel, welches man in einer vorgegebenen Zeit lösen soll. Dafür gibt es dann je nach gelungenem Abschluss Gold, Silber oder eine Bronze Medaille. Am Schluss der Episode wird der Gewinner gekürt, dass nur im lokalen 4-Spieler.Modus Sinn macht. Den hab ich nicht probiert, aber alleine wird es aufgrund des Aufbaus schnell langweilig. Zudem ähneln sich die Aufgaben sehr, die Story auch kein Knaller. Die Spielzeit beträgt ca. 6 Stunden gesamt, ich quälte mich für den Review länger durch. Ab der 3. Episode war ich eigentlich bedient und hatte auf das Spiel keine Lust mehr.

For this price, I'd recommend it. Especially to give to a puzzle-obsessed tween or something. So I've played through the first 3 cases at this point and my feelings are mixed. I hate the way the character models flop around with their arms stuck to their sides. I hate the low res still-image pictures used in flashbacks and photos. I hate the overusage of stock sound effects. I hate how figuring out the culprit in each case comes down to literally one thing that might as well be pointed out with a giant neon sign. That last point is my biggest gripe with this game. A good mystery is like a good cup of coffee. It's a balancing act of elements that, when proportioned correctly, make something amazing. Since the game makes a point to mention how big a deal paying attention is, there should be a good handful of background events that players will have to pick up on. There should be more clues hidden in dialogue and more conflict in testimonies. The moment where you can really see how threadbare these "clues" really is definitely [spoiler]the end of Episode 2.[/spoiler] These complaints really feel kind of silly when I think about how much of this is clearly intended to be a Jackbox-alike party game. The wit is there, the multiplayer element is there, the aesthetics are (mostly) there. Having so much of the story dumbed down for this multiplayer element feels kind of hollow. If you went into this expecting something inspired by Professor Layton, you'd be about half satisfied I think. The puzzles are nice (if a bit easy) and the narrator is funny and the characters are colorful. Seriously the Hotel Manager is the best thing about this game. The story is also pretty decent too. That's where it ends. It's linear, stodgy, predictable, weird to look at, with plot elements barely tied together. Also the train clips into the track at the beginning. That really bothers me for some reason.

I've tried a few times now and I just cannot get into this game. The format is clunky, the cut scenes too long, and the OTT Agatha Christie vibes do her a disservice.

Tags: Adventure - WC - Walk Clicker Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Very long drawn out cutscenes that are unskippable. Unclear target audience. Cryptic puzzles that can be hard to solve. Drag and drop touch-style interface. Cartoony. Childish in tone.
