Entwined: The Perfect Murder

Good story, quite nice graphs, nice voice acting, quite short and easy puzzles. But the first one is way better then this.

Nur zu empfehlen, wenn man es in einem Bundle mit abgreifen kann. Pro: - Die Story ist herrlich trashig wie bei vielen Vertretern dieses Genres. Contra: - Viel Recycling von Wimmelbildorten. Man muss regelmäßig gucken, ob alte Wimmelbilder wieder aktiv sind. - Sehr kurz - Keine Errungenschaften - Furchtbare mechanische Rätsel, wo man Teile in die richtige Position muss, aber man bewegt immer mehrere entgegengesetzt gleichzeitig. Die fühlen sich sehr unangenehm an, weil die Steuerung mit der Maus nicht sehr gut ist.

Average HOG, at best. Scenes were well-drawn, visuals are the best part of this game. Translation errors in the text (english) and descriptions of the hidden objects. Arachnaphobic? Spiders in almost every HOG scene. As a law enforcement officer, I spent a lot of time breaking things in the 'name of the law'. Surprisingly sudden ending. Also, I left the stove on.

Entwined: The Perfect Murder is a mobile app-like hidden object point and click adventure game. Gameplay, like the hundreds of other HOGs that migrated from app stores to Steam, involves tapping on your iPhone screen to uncover hidden objects and solve other puzzle minigames. This one has a murder mystery theme. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. That's right, only 5. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason. Even the Artifex Mundi mobile apps on Steam are better than this. Entwined: The Perfect Murder has the ridiculous, laughable price of around $6 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer. Because this is the kind of game you can just play for free on mobile phones, it's impossible to recommend anyone should pay money for the same experience on Steam.

This hidden-object adventure won't blow your socks off. It does well enough for what it is: a fairly short detective story taking place in a rather small locale. But it just doesn't quite manage to rise beyond mediocrity. The hidden-object scenes are fine. The puzzle mini-games are easy. But the story is trivial, the characters one-dimensional, and it's just not that engaging. It's not a bad game, but it's hard to recommend for anyone other than hardcore HOG fans who have already played everything else.

Chilly, noice.

I enjoyed this simple game that took me 3 hours to complete. Kept you guessing!

A competent hidden object game - and a pretty good mystery. I do have one complaint is pretty normal for these sorts of games for example, you have a rope that needs to be cut and during half of the game you find 5 cutting implements and the first 4 don't work (it was a bit more annoying than usual). Achievements would be nice.

[code]For other game reviews, please [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40640212/]follow us at What The Game?[/url][/code] Entwined: The Perfect Murder is a hidden object mystery game where the player is a police detective investigating the murder of a local lawyer at his mansion. The story is a typical whodunit with a list of suspects that could all have a motive. E:TPM has the typical three modes; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. These modes control how quickly the player can get a hint or completely skip a puzzle. The only control for the game is the mouse, it is all point and click. The story in E:TPM is a little more engaging than many similar hidden object games, with more dialog than average. As is typical of many of these games, the dialog is somewhat broken English. That artwork is passable; mostly hand drawn, but with some scenes that look oddly photorealistic. The puzzles are the standard fare, but there are a few that are different. One different style was a fingerprint location subgame that is reused a couple of times and finding every last finger print is a challenge. Solving the "find a list of objects" puzzles are as expected, however, many of the game locations where this takes place are reused several times. The logic puzzles are all fairly easy to solve, with a few being mildly challenging. There are a few chokepoints where a player would have to be on a mind-altering substance to come up with the correct solution without using a hint. These are things like the player possessing an object that does something, somewhere, but having no idea at all what it's use is supposed to be. E:TPM is a challenging, if cartoonish hidden object game, with a decent story. The vast majority of players would need to use hints; it is unlikely that the advanced mode is possible to do, due to a few of the choke points (at least not without shot-gunning every scene with clicks on every screen location). [b]It's recommended for hidden object lovers and is also a good start into the genre because of the smaller setting.[/b]

I liked it. Not too hard, not too easy. Just a chilled laid back mystery to solve. Perfect for a lazy Sunday evening
