The game itself is decent enough, but I wish [spoiler]the title wasn't a bit of a spoiler for the plot twist...[/spoiler]
A evil book okay... That's the whole storyline, but the game puzzle match it very well so so It was a decent game.
Molto carino! Enigmi interessanti. Storia avventurosa e per niente banale.
[h1]🎭 Faces of Illusion: The Twin Phantoms - Misterio teatral y magia casual ★★★☆☆ (6.8/10)[/h1] [i]Una nueva inmersión en el misterio de objetos ocultos de la factoría de Artifex Mundi. Faces of Illusion: The Twin Phantoms nos traslada al París del siglo XIX para investigar un rapto en pleno teatro, ofreciendo la clásica fórmula de puzles ligera y accesible que caracteriza al estudio.[/i] [h3]🏗️ Jugabilidad[/h3] El [b]bucle de juego[/b] se mantiene fiel al género de las aventuras de objetos ocultos (HOPA). Encarnas a una joven periodista que presencia el secuestro de una prometedora estrella de la ópera a manos de un misterioso ilusionista. Tu objetivo es explorar los detallados escenarios del teatro y las calles parisinas interactuando al estilo "point-and-click". La jugabilidad alterna de forma constante entre la resolución de puzles de lógica (como alinear mecanismos o descifrar partituras) y la búsqueda de listas de objetos camuflados en imágenes estáticas, donde cada hallazgo te proporciona herramientas clave para desenmascarar el complot. [h3]🎮 Experiencia de Usuario[/h3] La interfaz es limpia, espaciosa y sumamente cómoda, diseñada para que el jugador se concentre únicamente en la historia y los rompecabezas. Como es habitual y se agradece como un gran acierto de [i]QoL[/i], el juego incorpora un mapa interactivo para viajar rápidamente entre las zonas descubiertas y marcar los puntos donde todavía quedan acciones pendientes. Además, dispone de niveles de dificultad personalizables y del clásico botón de pista recargable, lo que garantiza una experiencia fluida y libre de frustraciones mecánicas. [h3]🎨 Apartado Técnico/Visual[/h3] Visualmente es un título muy vistoso gracias a sus escenarios dibujados a mano, que logran capturar muy bien la pomposidad del teatro y el ambiente lúgubre de los callejones de la época. Las transiciones estéticas y los efectos de magia aportan un toque dinámico muy agradable. El apartado sonoro acompaña con una banda sonora de corte teatral y misterioso que encaja a la perfección con la narrativa. Su rendimiento en PC es impecable al no exigir apenas recursos, resultando un título ideal para disfrutar de forma pausada y portátil en la Steam Deck. [h3]🏆 Desafío y Logros[/h3] Alcanzar el 100% de los logros es un proceso directo que premia la concentración y la paciencia del jugador. Para conseguir el platino en Steam tendrás que completar la campaña principal (que incluye su correspondiente capítulo extra), resolver las escenas de objetos ocultos sin abusar del botón de pista y superar todos los minijuegos lógicos sin usar la opción de saltar. También incluye retos habituales de reflejos, como encontrar varios objetos en pocos segundos. Siguiendo estas pautas, es un 100% muy asequible en un par de tardes.

Oh, this game is nostalgia inducing. I love the colorful art of mystery and magic this game brings. I remember playing this game for once or twice. Came back now on my third playthrough. For a 2017 game, the font in the game feels too printed and rigid that it breathes no life into. It's like seeing text in a file document, too serious and less magical. Sure, it may be a nitpick, but the repetitive view of dialogues throughout the story can evoke the feeling of having it simply monotone. There is no indicators of acquired collectibles per stage, so you are bound to miss some if not most of the collectibles in the map. Some of the animations also felt a little wonky as experienced. The voice acting wasn't too bad, just the animations I had to nitpick. The game did have quite a positive reception from the little inherent quirks. The music is very intense and you could feel the tension drawing closer as navigation in the story continues. I appreciate having multiple puzzles in one puzzle, giving it a layer of complexity than your usual one-and-done puzzles in hidden object games. It was also interesting they allow the option to remove dubbing. It's up to the player whether they'd want to play the game and focus on the background ambiance or with the flair of the dialogue delivery. Despite the nostalgia, I fear the game is simply but a longing to it. I played for almost 3 hours with an 84% achievement clearing score. I missed one collectible and have no plans of re-trying the game for now to get it. Perhaps, one day or two to speedrun. But for now, this falls under a comfortable [u]7/10[/u] score. I'd recommend it, but only to a niche that enjoys mystery, a bit of magic, with the mix hidden object aspects.
so bad
Extremely derivative HOG. Every single puzzle have been in another similar (and much better) game. Let's see, we have, sliding blocks, "pipe dream", the one where you more two or three steps in a circle and need to color all fields the same color, some basic logic puzzles, a fuse puzzle where you need to put the correct fuse with the correct number. The story is mediocre with some terrible english translations and the inventory puzzles are definitly pushing the logic (why can't i pick up a crank in what looks like a feet of water and instead need to make a new out of seeweed and a stick...). The collectable achievement is also kind of BS in this game since some of them are in a maze where you only pass one time and there are no way of going back.
I've played half-a-dozen Artifex Mundi games. This is one of the better stories. Better animations (2017). Some puzzles are frustrating, but you can hit the skip button. I'd recommend é
good enjoyable hidden object game. No nasty tricks just good camouflage. Map works well for quick travel between distant areas - although there is not much backtracking and circle work in this one (another plus). Story is enjoyable. While there is no standout difference with this HOG, I found all aspects of the game were above average quality making it a great HOG.
super jeu! Juste dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de partie bonus. Durée de 3h
