About

Two years ago, the young Japanese inventor Hayao Maelström came to France and settled in a quiet countryside. One day, he suddenly received an invitation personally signed by Nikola Tesla, inviting him to attend the once-in-a-decade scientific gathering at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Hayao set off for Paris full of anticipation, but during Tesla's opening speech, the venue suddenly plunged into darkness. When the lights came back on—Tesla mysteriously vanished in plain sight!
While the police launched a comprehensive investigation, Hayao and his clever dog Alpina resolutely set out on their own quest for the truth. Determined to uncover the truth behind this bizarre disappearance case.


At its core, this game uses puzzles to drive the story forward. Players will explore a meticulously crafted Paris, engaging in conversations with characters across various scenes or interacting with objects within the environment. Each character or interactive object may hold a hidden puzzle. Solving these puzzles will advance the story or yield new clues. One by one, the puzzles eventually weave together into a captivating story.


The game features a wide variety of puzzles, each one thoroughly engaging, challenging your powers of observation, reasoning, and logical thinking from every angle. If you hit a snag while solving a problem, you can always check the hint scroll in the bottom-left corner—no need to worry about getting stuck.
Not everyone in the game will be honest with you. Some people weave lies endlessly to conceal the secrets buried deep within their hearts. You must meticulously analyze their testimonies, pinpoint logical inconsistencies in their dialogue, and turn "evidence" into ammunition to shatter their psychological defenses—extracting crucial clues that advance the plot.

Maelstrom LEGACY: The Tesla Mystery employs exquisite cartoon artistry, blending steampunk mechanical elements with Art Nouveau's elegant curves to create a dreamlike and uniquely imagined Paris. Every scene in the game is meticulously hand-drawn, brimming with vivid details—from the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower to the tranquility of rural lanes. The character designs are charming and full of personality, brought to life with smooth animation in a whimsical cartoon world.

好玩
好玩!解密需要动脑,但会有提示,就是有些解密难度太大了,提升还谜语人。成就系统不好使,游戏结束一个成就没解锁,不知道是bug还是别的什么。
[h2] 以谜题为驱动的剧情推理解迷游戏 [/h2] 《特斯拉之谜》是一款与解谜为主的剧情推理游戏,玩家只有在游戏中解开一个又一个的谜题,才能继续推荐游戏,但谜题的难度还是比较适中的,会逐渐加深难度,但也会给足提示卡关了,还有提示卷轴,但使用卷轴与答错谜题都会扣除相应的分数,而这些分数是评判玩家,推理能力的依据,而且谜题并不像其他游戏那样,只要选择正确就能自动答对,而是需要玩家提交,所以不断的试错与穷举是没用的。游戏的故事背景也是相当有意思,处于欧洲工业革命期间,届时,玩家能够更加了解那个时代背景以及发明的各项工具,比如说发电机等等。 [h2] 游戏简介 [/h2] 游戏的序章给玩家短暂的展示了游戏的主要玩法,在一个气球艇上展示成果时,一些重要资料却在众目睽睽之下被偷走了,于是玩家将化身侦探来推导出最后的凶手,但此时常中的角色并不是主角,而是其父亲,在序章结尾你给玩家留下了足够多的悬念,至此游戏正式开始,主角也将前往欧洲,见识到许多的发明,解开谜题推进剧情,最后发现真相。 [h2] 推理过程及解谜 [/h2] 序章的推理过程,只能说是给足了暗示,当玩家错误的指认时,旁边的军官就会提醒,如果执迷不悟,就把你丢到海里等等话语,间接的告诉玩家,这并不是凶手。当聚在一起相互讨论正确时,我们将只需要简单的给出证据指认,那凶手就会不打自招,算是有点小儿科的。 比较有趣的还是游戏里的谜题,相当于脑筋急转弯,难度还是有的,比较有挑战性。当玩家一次通关时,还能获得很高的分数,算是比较有成就的。 [h2] 结语 [/h2] 总的来说,游戏是一款比较优质的解谜剧情,推理游戏解谜的部分很好,对于画面以及谜题的设计都很用心,关键是在于推动剧情的方式有点太过简单了,好处就是玩家,只要解开谜题就不会卡关,所以对于谜题感兴趣的玩家,可以来游玩这款游戏。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
Bugs and translation issues make this game fall flat. The achievements aren't unlocked after meeting the requirements, and some menu areas are missing text. The English translation is clumsy in some areas rendering many puzzles extremely difficult do to the wordplay required. The game states early on that there is a map, but it doesn't appear to exist. The issues turn this game into a slog, draining nearly all enjoyment.
Sadly I cannot fully recommend this game. As someone who sincerly loves Professor Layton, I was really looking forward to this game. But even though the style and the artwork is very nice, the game does not scratch that same spot for me. The story could not catch me (so far) and the puzzles are not challenging enough. But the biggest downside for me is that the puzzles are way to sparse for my liking. Oftentimes it just feels like I'm just clicking through lots and lots of dialogue to progress the story without any actual decisions or input from my side. And the time between puzzles is just to long so I lose interest in the game to often.
超绝预防老年痴呆的小游戏,每个关卡都是独立的解谜,很适合休闲的时候来一盘。 进度随时保留,谜题也是由易到难,感觉几乎没什么难度。 就是有些解谜是可以给些动画的,像水管那种最好还是有个流动的过程减轻难度,纯逻辑题就不太需要了。 建议是把大任务下的小任务做成任务清单,村里溜达一圈压根不知道哪个做了哪个没做,直接卡关。 (时长是之前睡觉忘记关了) 整体来说画风和玩法都ok的,bgm也很惬意。
I somewhat recommend this game. It's fun and clearly inspired by Ace Attorney and Professor Layton. It's got colorful art, it looks and sounds very french, and there's a nice variety of puzzles to solve through. The story is decent, although it feels slightly strange that a lot of real person names are used, because the juxtaposition between how they act in this game and how I think of them in real life is strange. The primary issue holding me back from fully recommending this game is the puzzle text. I played in english. The text was clearly written in a different language, probably french, and mostly translated to english. This works for the most part, except that puzzles rely on precise wording, so any ambiguity due to a single mistranslated phrase or missing context has the potential to ruin a puzzle. For example, an early puzzle mentions that "The Red [button] is among the first" in a sequence of buttons. Does that mean Red is the first button? Red is in the first half of the sequence? Red is not the last button? I don't know. Or a more misleading example, there is a puzzle hint that mentions something in the top-left, when the correct answer involves the thing in the top-right. The hint used the wrong term. If you can read French and have even a passing interest in puzzles, I recommend this game. It is fun, and I believe the French version of the game is solid in puzzle wording. If you cannot read French, I mainly recommend this game if you really, really like puzzle games such as Professor Layton or Ace Attorney games. The majority of puzzles are fine to solve, but the minority that have strange wording or hints will require you to look up the puzzle number in the steam discussions or on discord. I hear there is a patch coming in the near future to fix most of these issues.
L'idée est très bonne, mais plus j'avance dans le jeu, plus je trouve que les énigmes ont des énoncés très peu précis et parfois incompréhensibles, et pourtant, j'ai joué à tous les jeux Professeur Layton, et également la bilogie Puzzle Agent qui était parfois assez erratique. J'en suis à une trentaine d'énigmes dans le jeu, mais j'ai de plus en plus de mal avec ces énigmes souvent dures pour pas grand chose, et les indices n'aident pas.
[h1]一场有趣的解密探案之旅[/h1] 《特斯拉之谜》是一款非常有趣的解密游戏,里面的谜题种类很多,而且包含了很多考公题以及一些解密书籍上面的题型,可以说谜题设计很有中国特色的韵味。而且游戏的探案环节有点致敬“逆转裁判”的意思,经典构图以及一些有趣的吐槽都让这款游戏展露出不错的吸引力。 [h2]故事简介[/h2] 玩家扮演的是发明家骏雄,他有一个狗狗搭档叫阿尔皮娜。两人在乡村做了很多方面村民的科学装置,不料有一天,骏熊的偶像特斯拉竟然亲手给他写了一封邀请信,请他来参加科学家大会。不料特斯拉在演讲的时候突然停电,等骏熊修好电源后,特斯拉已经失踪了。骏熊则是不得不承担起侦探的工作,调查特斯拉失踪的秘密! [h2]基本玩法 [/h2] 游戏更偏向于解密,虽然推理环节也不错,不过一些推理谜题设计的不算太好。不过游戏的解密玩法确实是核心,有着很有趣的体验,而且涵盖的氛围很广,简单的相当于小学奥数题,难的则是有点偏离解密游戏的上限了,只能找攻略或者通过提示找到解法。 此外每个谜题在解答的时候都存在一个叫“时律点”的东西,类似于分数,使用线索则会降低这个数值的获取。大多数谜题还是比较容易理解的,不过也有一部分不容易看懂的,需要用到左边的谜题讲解。推导失败倒是没什么问题,最主要的还是尽量不要用线索,或者有了特定的不降分的道具再进行线索提示。 此外游戏里还有一种收集品叫“模数硬币”,大部分场景里看到黑色剪影的鸟就可以点击获取。不过有些场景的硬币会被人物挡住,需要换个时间节点过来才能收集。这个还有与之相关的成就,成就党收集的时候要注意。 [h2]总结[/h2] 《特斯拉之谜》是一款有趣的解密游戏,质量还不错,谜题种类还有很多,不过解密的表现形式挺像答题的。推理部分难度不高,而且逻辑也不是很严谨,不过因为这部分有在玩逆转裁判的梗,所以游戏玩起来体验还不错。对推理解密游戏感兴趣的玩家可以试试这款游戏!

Excellent Layton-Like a la française, je ne peux que le recommander, entre son style graphique absolument somptueux et sa fantastique bande son, Maelström Legacy : Le Mystère de Tesla est un petite pépite du genre qu'il ne faut absolument pas manquer (surtout a ce prix)
