Midnight Mysteries

Edgar Poe didn't kill himself

Love it! Graphics are a bit dated, some HO scenes were hard to decipher, and no widescreen, but excellent story and atmosphere. Recommend!

Ναι

A weaker entry in the HOG pile from Mumbo Jumbo. It's their first in the series, and it's very old, so this is to be expected. The follow-ups increase quality by quite a bit. This one is best viewed in 4:3 resolution, and the game itself switches my TV's input from Just Scan to 16:9 automatically, where it is stretched. The game itself is actually quite decent, and you can see the foundation of their work here in context with their other three Midnight Mysteries. It's more of a blast from the past than anything else. I think it's worth your time, but if you want something similar but higher quality go with MM3. That one is super solid but with Mark Twain for lore. Otherwise, get this one in a bundle cheap and enjoy what it offers.

Edgar Allan HOG

It’s FINE. For an HOG, it’s FINE. There’s no infuriating navigation, just hidden object scenes, and a few very easy puzzles to let them breath. A few objects look like indistinguishable blobs, but that’s what the lantern is for. Also, real cute with the non-indicative names. “Grooms hair?” “Propels boat?” “Blouse fastener?!” That last one is a button, by the way. It's not awful; if you like HOGs, you might like it. The story is slow and formulaic, yet also all over the place with the constant setting shifts, but the game's easy. I know it’s my fault for letting these games clog up my backlog, but I’m still clinging on to a hope of hopes that I can find one with true beauty or wit. For this particular title, I just need to let it go, move on. ...also, just to be even more petty, I’d like to point out that Boss Tweed was 26 when Poe died, an undistinguished volunteer firefighter in New York, 185 miles away from Poe in Baltimore, hardly the white-bearded politico depicted here.

BELLISSIMO 🖤🖤🖤👍

very old style game... no timer so good for relaxed play, no achievements to obtain
