Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze

If you are a fan of Phryne Fisher through either the book series or the television series, you'll love this game. I have enjoyed the Australian made 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' television series for years and I was delighted to get another chance to experience this world again, this time through a game. I'm not a huge fan of the visual novel genre, but this had a little more going for it having some point & click adventure game elements such as an inventory you can interact with and some hidden object type mini-games. There are several choices you can make throughout the game that will change certain elements of the story but it's not enough to really make for an enjoyable replay. The graphics, writing and music manage to capture the essence of the show really well. One of my favorite elements is actually collecting all Phryne's clothing items. Her outfits are, in-game, as amazing as they always are in the show and it's more fun than it should be to change her outfits for the various outings. There's no voice acting done in the game but it's easy to imagine the dialogue being said in the same voices from the show. The puzzles in the game are few and far between but are relatively easy. Putting together clues is sometimes a bit annoying because even if you can see where something is going you still have to wait for specific clue pieces before Miss Fisher realizes it in the game. I found the clues and deduction system to be a little clunky, but overall effective for the game. This game has 36 achievements that you can earn. There are many that are story unlocked with each chapter and then there are quite a few related to collecting Phyrne's outfits. A few are related to specific story choices and there are several related to different endings. Collecting them all means playing through the game multiple times as it's difficult to manipulate the save slot to experience the different endings and story branches. For the most part those choices don't change the overall story which can make it feel more like a chore. If the story changed more based on the different choices replaying for missed achievements and different endings might have felt much less tedious. The biggest and only real drawback to this game in my opinion is that it was released as episodes. It contains two episodes each designed to be a self contained mystery with an overall story arc link. While I don't mind that it was created that way, only two of what would have had to be three or more episodes were ever made. That leaves the story arc unresolved and feels pretty frustrating, but finishing each chapter that is available still feels rewarding. If you are already a Miss Fisher fan, you don't need my review to convince you to buy this game, the franchise already speaks to you and you know you'll probably like it. If you've never watched or read Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, maybe experience it first to see if you like the franchise overall, that's really going to be the best gauge as to whether you like the game. If you love visual novels and period detective pieces... you'll probably enjoy this whether or not your already familiar with Miss Fisher or not.

[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Murder Mystery Adventure [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen die Ermittlerin Phryne Fisher und sind gerade dabei uns eine Oper Aufführung anzusehen. Doch plötzlich hält das Stück an weil die Haupt Akteurin Tod auf der Bühne liegt. Wir wollen natürlich jetzt herausfinden wer der Mörder ist. Nebenbei haben wir auch noch den Tod unserer Schwester nicht vergessen denn der Mann der sie getötet hat taucht in unseren Träumen auf und schon bald auch im Realen Leben [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Man muss gleich vorweg sagen, dass das Spiel leider nicht komplett fertig gestellt wurde. Es sollten eigentlich 3 Episoden werden aber aufgrund der zu geringen Abverkäufe wurden es nur 2. Die Episoden erzählen aber jeweils eine eigene Mordgeschichte und sind dadurch auch Abschließbar, lediglich die Hauptgeschichte findet so keinen Abschluss, was sehr schade ist. Aber nun zum Gameplay selbst, überwiegend lesen wir uns durch die Story, untersuchen verschiedene Orte & sprechen mit unterschiedlichen Personen um mehr über Motive & Alibis zu erfahren. Nach und nach sammelt man Indizien und muss zwischendurch auch Deduktionen durchführen, das heißt Widersprüche in Alibis oder Zeugenaussagen anhand unserer Indizien, was sehr cool gemacht ist. Was ich auch sehr cool fand ist, das man beim durchsuchen der verschiedenen Orte auch Kleider Teile einsammeln konnte um so dann verschiedene Kleider freizuschalten (man kann sich jederzeit umziehen). Das Spiel basiert auf einen Roman & einer Krimiserie die in den 1920ern in Australien spielt. Die Musik ist gut gemacht, typische Jazz Musik aus der Zeit [h1] Achievement Schwierigkeit 2/10 [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 36 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man beide Episoden beenden & alle Kleider freischalten. Zudem gibt es einen Haufen an Entscheidungsbedingten Erfolgen. Man kann alle in einem Durchgang bekommen wenn man mit dem Save System arbeitet [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Story ist sehr gut gelungen (wird aber leider durch das fehlen der Dritten Episode nicht Abgeschlossen) + Einige Coole Gameplay Ideen wie z.B. das einsammeln verschiedenen Kleider oder mit der Deduktion der Indizien + Musik ist passend (Typische 1920er Jazz Musik) + Achievements - Leider wird es wohl nie einen Abschluss der Story geben bzw. es wird wohl nie eine Dritte Episode geben [h1] Fazit [/h1] Ein sehr cool gemachtes Detective Murder Mystery Adventure mit coolen Ideen. Ich fand es echt cool gemacht das man z.B. verschiedene Kleider freischalten konnte, das gibt dem Spieler dann auch einen Grund alles genau durchzusuchen bzw. alles anzuklicken. Es ist Leider echt schade das es wohl nie eine Dritte Episode geben wird, ich hätte gerne den Abschluss der Story gesehen. Definitiv ein Hidden Gem was man als Fan von Detective Adventures definitiv haben muss. Wer den Roman oder die Krimi Serie bereits kennt wird sich hier sehr zu Hause fühlen. Wer diese nicht kennt aber gerne Murder Mystery Adventures spielt wird sich auch sofort zu Hause fühlen. Ich hatte sehr viel Spaß mit dem Spiel 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]

I cannot recommend this dated and dull murder mystery. Controls are not friendly to the PC and the main point of the game seems more to be hunting for hidden dresses than solving anything. The deduce model is woefully underemployed and the lack of freedom is suffocating. The source material is a TV show which I hadn't heard of and therefore I can only conclude that this appeals to fans of that show. That being said I would have expected voice performances rather than the text (so hard to skip?) and audio rubbish that this game gives. Overall totally unsatisfactory and not a surprise the third wasn't made.

This game is a really faithful adaptation of the Miss Fisher series, and I love so much that it exists! Fans will appreciate the attention to detail, from the quirky animation of the opening jazz sequence to the witty repartee between the beloved characters. Being able to dress Miss Fisher (always divine in her 1920s get-ups) was an unexpected delight. For non-fans, this is also an enjoyable, low-stress adventure game with a compelling story and item-search elements. If a third season is created (as I very much hope), there is room to improve the function whereby Phryne puts clues together in order to deduct a solution - the combinations are not always the most logically linked.

Imagine you're a detective solving a murder case. You expect to gather pieces of case evidence, but instead you're collecting pieces of clothing to unlock new outfits for your female detective. What a joke. A detective's job is to crack cases, not curate a wardrobe. The game writing needs improvement. However, the biggest flaw is the mechanic requiring you to re-check spots you've already examined later with a different companion. It's completely unnecessary and feels like a cheap way for Dev to increase gameplay time. Plus, it's easy to miss a key spot in a scene. This would be far better as a visual novel without the collecting. [u] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43342176-Why-Not-Games/#browse] My curator page[/url][/u]

Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze Un simple produit dérivé d'une série australienne peu connue en France. Il n'est disponible qu'en Anglais. Il s'agit d'un jeu d'enquêtes sous forme de point n' click et de déductions. Initialement sorti en 2018, Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze a un look daté, il fait plus penser à un jeu du début des années 2010. Les animations sont ridicules, il n'y a pas de doublage et la musique est omniprésente. Le gameplay est également raté, la collection d'indices et les déductions sont trop simples et on passe la plupart du temps à rechercher des items de garde-robe (digne d'un jeu Barbie) en cliquant au hasard sur l'écran. Le mélange des genres est à mon goût inapproprié. L'histoire est passable, elle se compose de deux épisodes qui devaient être suivis d'au moins un troisième qui n'est, à ce jour, toujours pas disponible et qui ne le sera probablement jamais. Je ne conseille donc pas ce jeu, à part pour les fan de Phryne Fisher et seulement en solde étant donné que l'histoire est incomplète.

More of a visual novel than a true investigation challenging the player. This game probably doesn't offer that much to those who are unfamiliar with the source material, but for fans of Miss Fisher's it's a fun way to spend some more time with the characters from the TV show. Although the story isn't super exciting, the characters are faithful to the original and have quite a few witty lines (you get to flirt with Jack!) A fun way to spend an afternoon or two, but don't expect too much of it. It's a shame the story will probably never be finished. It doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but I would have loved to know what happens next!

NON - Jeu totalement baclé. Les graphismes/animations sont ridicules pour un jeu aussi récent. L'enquête n'en est pas vraiment une, le scénario peu travaillé, les personnages sont fades, loin de ceux de la série. Du coup, on vous met une musique omniprésente pour faire oublier l'absence de travail sur le son. Les fans de Miss Fisher, passez votre chemin, les amateurs de point and click aussi.

Essie Davis is a stone cold fox in the TV version, but the visual novel format is a bit slow to maintain my interest.

It's very casual, it's more a light visual novel, with some light hidden object elements, with costume collecting. Did i enjoy it though? Yes! The cases were intriguing and the story fantastic, as well as staying true to the character i'm familiar with of the show, they did a fantastic job, I'm only disappointed that there won't the 3rd episode to finish off the bigger story. I would hope the Devs consider doing a kickstarter to make that happen.
