The Wisbey Mystery

This is a low budget HO game. It's not bad, it's not good either. It's just what to expect with these kind of eastern european releases. It's a typical old abandoned house setting, where you get access to more and more rooms. There's a very basic plot but nothing spectacular. The voice acting must be one of the lowest points in the game, completely robotic and emotionless. Fortunately, there's more emphasis on puzzle solving that solving the same HO tons of times. The HO scenes are limited and there's only a couple of them. There are some blatant typoes all over the place, they should really get a better translator. It's a short game that is enjoyable for a bit.

It have some great puzzles, but even in difficult mode, they where quite easy

This is quite a short hidden object game. It's not the best one on steam but it's not the worst either. It has a few good points - music is nice, graphics are pretty, relaxing to play, puzzles aren't too difficult but not super easy either, simple to learn how to play, the game lets you know when there is still something to find in a certain area which was helpful, unmissable achievements. But it also has a few downsides - spelling and grammar are not very good, the voice acting isn't very good either (at least it's a minor part), stiff cut-scenes (but they were short). I still rather enjoyed it. But would recommend getting on sale considering the length of the game.

I knew this would be a poor quality game from the other reviews but I bought it on sale and playing it while high so it's a laugh. Will say it's bugged out twice so far in regards to the Hidden Object Scenes being a static image and requiring a restart. Determined to see it through, though. :D

Por muitos anos, as pessoas de uma pequena cidade mantêm distância de uma mansão local à beira da floresta. Suas paredes escuras e destruídas guardam um terrível segredo sobre o assassinato não resolvido do xerife e sua esposa. E agora a história continua, quando um jovem jornalista, escrevendo a história sobre o incidente, desaparece em circunstâncias obscuras. Talvez o diário do maníaco que ele encontrou antes tenha algo a ver com isso… Resolva o mistério da mansão e salve o jornalista antes que seja tarde demais!

This is an average HOG with some annoying bits. For example, some of the hidden items were labeled with non-American names. I can't say if they were appropriate for UK English, though I think I'd usually get those. For example, I know what a spanner is. One of the HOG puzzles in this game said "Blade," so of course I looked for a knife. But it was actually a spatula?!! In another instance, a fishing lure is called a "Troll." I can see "trolling lure" but not "troll." Otherwise, the game is OK but there's a lot of running back and forth. And the story is rather weak. I still recommend it if it's on sale.

The Wisbey Mystery, developed by Argali Entertainment and published by RunServer, is a hidden object adventure game that immerses players in a chilling narrative set in the eerie Wisbey Manor. Released on January 18, 2017, the game presents a classic point-and-click experience where players take on the role of a detective investigating the mysterious disappearance of a journalist who was last seen delving into the unsolved murders of the sheriff and his wife. The game's premise is steeped in suspense, drawing players into a world filled with secrets and dark histories. The gameplay revolves around traditional hidden object mechanics, where players must search meticulously crafted scenes to find items that aid in progressing the story. These scenes are rich in detail, capturing the decaying grandeur of the manor and its surroundings. The puzzles are integrated seamlessly into the narrative, requiring players to think critically and observe their environment closely. While the game offers a familiar formula for fans of the genre, it does so with a level of polish that enhances the overall experience. Visually, The Wisbey Mystery employs a realistic art style that contributes to its atmospheric setting. The environments are meticulously designed, with attention to lighting and texture that evokes a sense of foreboding. The manor's interiors are filled with intricate details, from antique furniture to weathered portraits, all of which add depth to the game's world. This visual approach not only supports the narrative but also immerses players in the game's haunting atmosphere. The audio design complements the visuals effectively, with a haunting soundtrack that underscores the game's mysterious tone. Ambient sounds, such as creaking floorboards and distant thunder, enhance the sense of immersion, making the manor feel alive with its own secrets. The voice acting, while serviceable, adds an additional layer of depth to the characters, though it may not stand out as a highlight of the game. However, The Wisbey Mystery is not without its shortcomings. Some players have noted issues with the game's pacing, particularly in the latter stages where backtracking becomes more prevalent. This can lead to moments where the experience feels more like a chore than an engaging mystery. Additionally, while the story provides a solid foundation, it occasionally relies on clichés that may detract from its potential impact. In conclusion, The Wisbey Mystery offers a solid entry into the hidden object genre, delivering a compelling narrative set against a richly detailed backdrop. Its blend of traditional gameplay mechanics with atmospheric design creates an experience that will appeal to fans of mystery and adventure games. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it provides a satisfying journey through a world filled with intrigue and suspense. Rating: 6/10

Overall a decent game experience but it lacked enough puzzles and HO scenes that I would expect with a hidden object game. I really enjoyed the voice acting and was disappointed by how sparse those character interactions were.
