Mysteries of the Undead

Im Großen und Ganzen spielbar, allerdings sollte man den Übersetzer ins Deutsche feuern. So wird aus einem Baseball "Bat" bei der Übersetzung ne Fledermaus, die man suchen soll, oder aus einer Krabbe im Glas wird eine Krabbe in der Dose gemacht. Wer kein Englisch kann, der sucht sich an mancher Stelle nen Wolf.

Unfortunately this particular HOG experience is a nightmare. I usually never use the hint button and always try to not miss-click inn hog scenes. This game makes it impossible as it suffers from a multitude of technical issues such as having interactive parts in hog scenes but the mouse pointer not reacting to objects that can be manipulated. This results in aimless clicking all over the scene in hopes of opening something. Having the hog items clickable area in worst cases be only a few pixels wide again resulting in several dozen clicks before the game actually pick the item up. Weird object naming which in cases assumably can be something lost in translation such as roller skates being "rollers" which is still somehow understandable but then ranging to very outlandish interpretations such as a trumpet being "pipe" to completely irrational ones such as a number 2 being "hunter" and an umbrella being "cup" ... It makes no sense at all. On the technical side, apart from HOG scene issues, I've had to skip one puzzle as there just was no apparent solution, the mechanics seemed broken. The story could be decent (as far as hog adventures come, let's face it, logic is not usually the strongest suite of these games) but is also ruined by some of the most frustrating, infuriating "acts" and primary tasks I've ever had the misfortune to come across. In the first part we spend what seems like countless hours of real time fetching a bottle of water to an injured guy who for reasons X refuses to move until we do so and obviously the only way to get this is to painstakingly filter this with a machine. In the second part this theme continues. We are surrounded by zombies (or whatever), the lab is about to explode. We come across this engineer dude who has a crucial data disk but is scared and refuses to move his ass when its imperative for his own survival. The solution is to get him a piece of his favorite chocolate because his ass is a tad peckish... ! The whole second part revolves around getting him this damned chocolate bar ... Not sure if this is intentionally making fun of the fuzzy dreamlike logic these games usually have, if so then kudos, but it only managed to rile me up since I was already irritated by the technical shenanigans ... Potential lost by stupid storyline and almost gamebreaking technical issues.

Yes, but only if you are experienced in HOG games and want a quick chill adventure. I liked the setting, atmosphere, graphics and music, it can be comfy. There were a few easy puzzles and a handful of hog scenes. The flow is fine, you don't have to backtrack much and there is quick-travel with map hints. The story is fine but feels way too rushed and underdeveloped, also no voiced dialog. However, some of the hog scenes were tricky and not for beginners. There are hidden items behind other objects with no interactive cursor indication. So you have to guess and start clicking at random. Also I encountered 2-3 cases where the item was mislabeled! Like the word was "cap" and it turned out it was an umbrella. It is OK

This game was decent. I've def played worse. I thought the animation was beautiful. The story was ok and unfolded nicely. There was no voice acting, which is better than poor voice acting. The only gameplay issue I had was that some areas did not have a hotspot. basically, if an item was used without zooming in on the zone, hen there was no hotpot - you just had to know that an item could be used there. I would have also appreciated achievements, but overall, worth a play.

I liked it! It's not a super hard puzzle, nor super easy either. It has a really helpful tip system that recharges every few seconds, so you're never really stuck. The only problem I found was on an item you have to search, that will only be clickable on the right side (it's a drawn feather). It exasperated me, because I could only see that one, but fortunately someone already went through that problem and that fixed it. If you just want to relax and play a "smart" "no-brainer" game with a story to it, then got for it. I really recommend this one. It's a quick one, but feels just right. It's regrettable that it is not repayable, since the story is the same.

This game was a pleasant surprise after reading some of the not so happy reviews. A story about zombies and magic basically, I hadn't encountered a zombie HOG until this so it was pretty refreshing and I had a good time. While clicking had to be pretty exact in the hidden object scenes and puzzles, there wasn't anything broken or bugged in the game. There was frequent cutscenes as the story progressed and the map felt well utilized. I would have loved if the game was voice acted but the story was fine without it. I will probably check out other HOGs by this developer.

Most of the graphics are OK for an older game's standers and story line if fine, but HO is terrible. No indications where you can find objects that are blue (no pointer changes, or glimmer), items hard to see, many mislabeled items. Devs could have fixed this long time ago and put out a fixed version or a patch, but no one did anything about it. No voice overs and "music" is quite annoying. Stay away from this game and before you buy an other game from this developer find a free demo of the game so you don't buy an other badly made game like this again.
