Mystery Masterpiece: The Moonstone

Very hard spotting little objects, when click hint make sure you find everything but main clue otherwise it will only show you that for hint and no other item and when clicking on a item you have to be exact or it says not there when it is, so after all that it makes it an annoying game instead of fun.

Very glitchy. Can't get past brushing for fingerprints on a bottle because it thinks I haven't brushed the whole finger print.

I play a lot of HOG's. This is one of the more interesting ones simply because the concept is different. It's not supernatural. It's not horror. It's an old fashioned mystery you get to solve by actually investigating the people in the mansion on the night the precious stone is stolen. As for positives, I felt the story was an interesting one with enough potential twists and turns to keep it fresh. Negatives: The artwork is awful. The HOG's can be really difficult to discern the individual items from the background. I never have enjoyed that type of thing. It's also got a slow hint refresh and no way to speed it up. There's a strategy guide, concept art, and music files, but you have to find them in the game files on your computer. In general, I would recommend this only for people who have a lot of patience with very small, difficult to find items in HOG's or for people who enjoy mysteries. Otherwise, nope. It's not going to be your thing.
