Mosaic of the Strange

Great relaxing puzzle game! Minesweeper adjacent with a flair of paranormal investigation, and makes for a chill background game to dip in and out of.

murder mystery framing is a ton of fun (though it's completely on the rails/there's no player input on that end) and was just what this line of Mosaic puzzle games needed to freshen up a bit after i had started to reach a point of fatigue after hammering out the rest over the past two years. with that said, i largely just prefer when this was part of a big image/mural instead of separated pieces. the nature of the puzzle segments structure wise is making an already lightweight puzzle type even easier. which is fine for the most part, i usually chip away at these while listening to music, watching movies/tv, etc. definitely worth looking into some of the scattered difficulty settings this comes with, especially if you've played one or more of these before. i'll be sure to do that in the next game if it keeps them or if i ever revisit.

Same minesweeper-style gameplay as the other Mosiac games, but wrapped with lots more storytelling and a giant collection of psuedoscience references. Wiki the clues as you go for anything you don't recognize and you'll be rewarded with some amusing stories. The multi-colored crayons that it gives you all game are pretty baffling (you can use them to make notes I guess, but why?) and it throws a bonus difficulty factor right at the very end. Quite a good creation for its genre.

Damn, that super-agent mode broke me. Great game!

A variation on Ffrench's usual mosaic games. This one comes with a full storyline. The mosaics are scattered throughout rather than being regions of a giant puzzle.

I'm a big fan of these game, however I feel this misses the core appeal of the series, which is solving one big puzzle. I get trying something new with adding a story, but it just didn't work for me, just felt like it slowed down the game and solving induvial puzzles to further the plot, instead of one big puzzle just didn't scratch the same itch. I recommend playing the other Mosaic games over this one.

案件一点没看，拼图疯狂爽玩！

I've played several of this developers other games and enjoyed them, but this one is on another level! The same fun puzzles but now with a storyline where you get to solve a murder mystery while learning about various alien encounters, unsolved murders, and mythological creatures. There's also several levels of difficulty which make it easy to adjust your style of play - I played on level 3 out of 5 and the puzzles were challenging but still doable (and the hint system is pretty great when you get stuck). Highly highly recommend!!

Probably the most interesting of these that I've done so far. Blended with a cute, basic mystery with a couple interesting twists at the end.
