Detective Agency Gray Tie - Collector's Edition

An exciting and entertaining game with a good story. If you seek that than this is the wrong game for you. This consists of HOG after HOG...each not very good and mostly done with low res scans. Story? eehh nonexistent. A true shovelware product.

[h1] 前言：寻物解谜类型游戏[/h1] 《Detective Agency Gray Tie》是一款关卡制、寻物解谜类型的益智类游戏，专业侦探阿曼达接手个新案子，帮助收藏家找回被盗的珍贵小雕像。看过神奇陆夫人“翻译迫击炮“系列视频、或者玩过“Artifex Mundi”公司的玩家，应该对这种类型的游戏不会陌生。 这类游戏的玩法可以分为两部分，寻物和解谜。寻物，便是根据列出的几条英文单词、找出场景中对应的所有物品，如果是标有绿色或紫色的英文单词，还需要通过场景交互、道具组合才能找出，比如用钥匙开锁、将CD盘插入光驱、接上玩具的头部、掀开地毯之类操作。而在寻物完成之后、便能获取一项可以和大地图场景交互、用于解谜的物品。 [h1] 玩法：阉割了地图解谜、因而比较简陋[/h1] 寻物方面正如我上面介绍的，经典根据单词寻物的玩法+每个场景还隐藏着一只小浣熊和一个财宝；但由于本作压根没有地图部分，取而代之的是关卡制的形式，因此，本作的解谜部分可谓是阉割的比较彻底、让寻物的意义降低了很多似的。整体一共48关，基本是一个寻物紧接着另一个寻物，仅少量拼图、翻牌配对、一笔画、找茬之类的小游戏解谜。 虽然游戏没有中文、全靠自身英文基础、或者勤动手翻词典，但由于游戏并没有乱点后一段时间禁止交互的惩罚机制，所以遍历形式的乱点也可以；反正我是中期开始就直接不看单词、看哪些图形和场景不融洽+乱点通关的；且具有提示功能，即便遇到一些刁钻的隐藏物品而卡住也可以依赖提示。总之，难度可谓很低。 [h1] 剧情：南无三，何等精彩的侦探故事啊（个屁）[/h1] 相比阉割了地图解谜，纯粹以寻物为主，同类型里面算是中等偏下的游戏玩法，本作的剧情就得狠狠吐槽了！ 众所周知，寻物解谜游戏多多少少有点剧情，至于本作的剧情呢，如有，剧情都是一段话直接表达自己的收获与案情的推进，简单粗暴、流水账都不如，且后期更是演都不演了、“一句XX可能是犯罪者出没的场所”就开始寻物、可谓是地图式搜索、脸都不要了！ [h1] 具体吐槽与详细剧情[/h1] 从获知收藏家由稀有矿物制成的独特公牛雕像被盗，我们经过一番寻物之后，便根据侦探翻出的档案文件，将嫌疑人指向了一个绰号“无面者”的罪犯！（先确定罪犯再去看案发现场、牛的！）而在收藏家丢失雕像的房间中一阵寻物过后，我们又找到了一个有趣的符号与脚印，一场拼图小游戏后，发现这其实是一张通往阿姆斯特丹的票（emm，什么样的菜鸡小偷能在犯罪现场留下一张机票呢，我不经陷入了沉思…） 来到阿姆斯特丹，女侦探找了个助手帮忙寻找“无面者“；然后她们又在机场找到了一个不寻常的脚印，发现脚印通向堤岸（反正我已经不想吐槽了，机场找脚印，我愿称之为侦探之神）而来到堤岸的两人找到了一个无面人标记的报纸、跟踪报纸上的地址？这里不像是贼窝，（谁家坏人把贼窝标在报纸上啊，好人也不这么干啊！），就在两人以为是误导之时，地毯式搜刮下又找到了一个暗门，杯子还是热的（所以这还真是贼窝），什么无面者刚走（停顿），但它留下了一张加密名片（振声） 小游戏之后破解发现这是一家五金店的名片，店员告诉侦探有个奇怪的年轻人购买了潜水装置（这个倒是能理解、买潜水装置这事本就奇怪、不挑你刺）但是！！店员还说，这种潜水装置，居然还专门是用来在挪威的某个湖里潜水用的，泛用性这么差的吗！（如果是一般的侦探推理故事，我会认为是凶手在刻意诱导侦探、利用侦探去解开没能破解的谜团、或是引诱他们去揭穿某些黑暗黑幕，但这款寻物解谜游戏里，我真的毫不怀疑！） 此时，女侦探突然发现自己一直携带的手提箱不见了，寻物解谜过后，不知两人以什么方式，找回了箱子，并一副惊讶的口吻“不敢相信无面者居然一直跟着我们，但这也是他犯了第一个错误、他丢了个戒指“（真的吗，我怎么都数不过来这第几个失误了，并且这个戒指虽然也有无面者的猴子标志、但压根没提供任何信息啊），所以两人还是老计划去潜水装置所指引的挪窝某湖、虽然又迟来一步，但它们还是发现了一副被水浸透了的地图。 而接下来的干脆是理由的懒得编了，中间一句XX可能是犯罪者出没的场所，就开始搜完健身房、图书馆、监控室、珠宝店、小巷子；就这么搜了N多关，最终莫名奇妙查完化学实验室，来了句现在搞明白了、无面者是想要用人工制造同样的稀有金属，搞得我都怀疑自己是不是哪看漏了；最终一个寻物解救了昏迷科学家，从他口中得知“无面者”正在码头要跑路，于是就在码头经过一个寻物，怎么搏斗的不清楚、但反正结局就是夺回了雕像，却最终让无面者溜了。 坦白说，虽然侦探一路跟在犯罪者屁股后面、可谓是侦探类型剧情的常规操作、无需诟病，但本作纯粹成果汇报形式的表达、极度缺乏的故事衔接与故事逻辑，使得全程可谓是毫无爆点、毫无内容、毫无推理、毫无塑造，我怀疑编剧可能被无面者绑架了（肯定！） [h1]总结[/h1] 就我理解的寻物解谜类型游戏，归根到底是通过英文单词场景寻物+利用物品道具来地图解谜，但本作却是非常偷懒、利用关卡制直接阉割了地图解谜部分。整体共计48关、纯粹以寻物为主、辅以一些益智小游戏、难度较低。 而在剧情方面更是简单粗暴，基本就是围绕着找回被“无面者”盗走的雕像这个主线、进行流水账式的无用堆砌，缺乏故事性与故事逻辑、可谓是约等于无！ 整体在同类型里算是中等偏下的质量，且不支持中文，因此仅一般推荐。 [quote]加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GHYX]干货游戏[/url]&关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35106417/]咱的鉴赏家[/url]，不定期为大家带来游戏体验分享，也期待您来一起分享自己的游戏体验干货~[/quote]

He heard about this famous detective agency that had resolved some of the most challenging cases in the world. After hearing Gino's story, Amanda, the lead detective, thinks that the heist was probably executed by the famous thief, the Faceless, who seems to have taken an interest in art statuettes in recent times. Amanda and her associate take on the case to find out if the Faceless took the statuette and for what purpose. All will be revealed in Detective Agency Gray tie - Collector's Edition. Detective Agency Gray tie - Collector's Edition is a casual Hidden objects game with puzzle elements (mini-games) developed by AVI GAMES and published by HH-Games on the 30th of October 2022, on the Steam platform. The game consists of 48 levels in the main story, including mini-games, and offers an additional 16 levels after finishing. It is a short game, and you probably will see it through within two hours. However, I did enjoy the story and how the game sequences are presented. You basically have a hidden object level with two stages, a mini-game (puzzle) as the next level, and so forth until the end of the game. As much as the hidden object scenes have beautiful and colourful graphics, I find them to be very easy in terms of finding the objects. It's pretty much the same for the mini-game levels. However, the developers have tried to give a bit more replayability by including a raccoon and a special object in each hidden object level. But, again, both are pretty easy to find at first glance at the picture. I have a bit of a dilemma here. As an adult who enjoys these casual games, I'd like a bit more of a challenge. Yes, I’d actually like to feel some frustration! frustrated because There’s a satisfying sense of challenge if I can't locate one or more of the objects I need to find on the picture. Hitting the hint button once or twice adds to the experience. Unfortunately, that didn't happen to me with this game. Having said that, I think it might be a good initiation to the genre for people (including children) who have never played these casual games. I believe the price they are asking is reasonable, and you will be entertained. The graphics are good and colourful, and the soundtrack is fun. I like that you unlock an additional 16 levels when you finish the main story. The only language available at the moment is English. Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Nice graphics + Good soundtrack + 48 levels in the main story, + an additional 16 levels to unlock when completed + Good initiation to the genre for newcomers and children + Good price point Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - No achievements or trading cards - Short game with too-easy levels - Not much replayability A beautiful, colourful Hidden objects game, but short. It would be a good introduction for newcomers to the genre. 6/10 Key provided by the developer/publisher for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

a rather short and simple hidden objects game with basiaclly no real story. wouldnt buy it at full price. if you really have nothing to do or are procrastinating this is a quick max 2h filler game.

A very simple HOG but I like it! The 2 detectives take you from scene to scene and you find the listed objects. It reminds me in a way of the Park Ranger games in that you have one silhouetted object and one raccoon to find in each scene along with the objects. The mini games are super easy and I like that too! There's no stress here...just move right along, enjoying the game. There's really no challenge so don't get the game if that's what you want. It's a decent game for the price for sure and I will be looking for the next in this series. The only thing I don't like is the music--some of it was okay but there's one extremely irritating repetitious "loop" of about 10 screeching notes where I finally took my headphones off! Other than that I am enjoying the gameplay!

This is a short, but very fun game. I enjoy HOGs, and this one was literally a series of hidden-object scenes with related puzzles every 3-ish scenes. The story line is a bit thin, but that's to be expected with such a good HOG. Plus, there are extra hidden-object scenes to solve when done with the regular game. I give "Detective Agency Gray Tie" a 10/10 for the hidden-object scenes, a 10/10 for the puzzles, and a 6/10 for the plot.

It's a slow game with no action, just bouncing from one hidden object scene to another. It is unfortunate that the developers decided to punish people taking some time out by requiring them to redo entire hidden object scenes or a series of such scenes. I am uninstalling this game.

Very basic HO game. No VO or too much story.

Not a bad game buy on sale even better it's a simple HOG with text storys
