Time Mysteries: Inheritance - Remastered

Ich las vorhin einen Bericht, in dem es darum ging, ob Trump demnächst verkünden wird, dass es außerirdisches Leben gibt. Gleichzeitig aß ich zum ersten mal in meinem Leben Tempeh - ich wusste nicht, dass das Zeug Schimmelkulturen enthält, also gewollten Schimmel, solchen, den man mitessen soll. Googel bestätigte, dass alles korrekt so ist und so sein muss. Was soll ich sagen, wenn Trump jetzt Außerirdische ankündigt, bin ich bestens gewappnet. Wer einmal Tempeh gegessen hat, den schockt erstmal nichts mehr (gruselig das Zeug). Kann man für das Jahr 2026 scheinbar gut gebrauchen. In diesem Spiel kommen leider keine Außerirdischen drin vor. Aber ein lustiger Zeitreisender. Und je nachdem, könnte der wohl auch als außerirdisch durchgehen. Das Spiel gehört nicht zu den, die wirklich schön sind (da gibt es wirklich sehr viel beeindruckendere und sehr viel besser umgesetzte). Da es aber ist, wie es ist - so ein wenig holprig seltsam - ist es irgendwie sehr amüsant. Die Dialoge, die Kleidung der Leute (auch wenn sie aus einem anderen Jahrhundert stammt), wie sich der Kopf leicht verformt, wenn sie reden... Irgendwie hat das fast was faszinierendes. Auf jeden Fall sieht es lustig aus. Ansonsten ist das Spiel eher einfach. Man hat eine Szene, von welcher aus man durch Türen in die verschiedenen Zeitepochen reist. Hinter jeder Tür befindet sich eben eine andere Zeit, was jeweils aus zwei Bildern/Räumen besteht. Man kann sich also nicht verlaufen, muss nicht durch die Gegend rennen. man sucht dort, was man braucht, löst die Rätsel, kehrt zum Ausgangsszenario zurück und startet durch die nächste Tür. Zum Vollpreise würde ich es wohl nicht kaufen. Ich habe es für unter zwei Euro bekommen, was okay ist. Das Spiel geht auch nicht lange. 2 Stunden und man ist durch.

Hidden-object-puzzle point-and-click story game. You have recently won an award in Physics and are eager to show your father. However, on returning home he is nowhere to be found. Instead there is a talking crystal ball and seven odd rings with which to find him, somewhere in space and time. Fix the ball (after it gets broken). Find the rings (after you drop them). Find your father. Dig through piles of crap. Artifex Mundi specializes in hidden-object-puzzle-based story games. These aren't hidden-object-puzzle things like Where's Waldo, or even A Park Full of Cats. These are story games in which you're trying to figure something out, and along the way you occasionally need a special thing, and you need to dig through a pile of crap to find things on a list of crap to get the one special thing you need. This isn't necessarily a horrible thing, especially if you like hidden-object puzzles, unless it's done horribly. If the image of the pile of crap is clear and not fuzzy and not muddy-colored, if the list of crap doesn't contain obscure items you might need to go look up to recognize, if there's some sort of hint system for when your eyes give out, and especially if there's a zoom-in option, it can be great for people who like hidden-object puzzles. I don't consider this game great. Hidden-object-puzzle games are not my go-to, but aside from that this game had issues. I thought the pile of crap images were fuzzy. There didn't appear to be a zoom-in feature. While the items on the list of crap were for the most part not obscure, it was certainly hard to recognize some of them: I'm more familiar with baseball bats than cricket bats, but I couldn't spot either one except by accident. And all I ever saw of the golf club was a thin black line. The music wasn't bad, and not obnoxiously distracting. The voice-acting for the cutscenes was a nice attempt, but the dialogue itself was tiresome at times. And the mouth movements on the characters was weird and sometimes disturbing...the first time I saw the female lead's mouth move, it made me think of a giraffe trying to yodel. Maybe there's a decent story there, but so far little I saw left me compelled to find out. At least the hidden-object puzzles could be skipped by instead playing a match-3 puzzle, though I'm not a fan of those either. And this is supposedly the "remastered" edition, which makes me cringe at the thought of what it must have been like before, some time over twelve years ago. Got it in a Humble Bundle, so likely for around US$1. At this writing it's listed in Steam at $1.49, on sale from its usual price of $15. I wouldn't pay $15, and at this point I might not pay $1 unless it was in a bundle with something else I wanted. Maybe I'd play it if they paid me instead. Maybe.

Time Mysteries: Inheritance is an interesting game, with a decent story, beautiful music and exciting places to visit. I enjoyed those parts very much! On the other hand, there are other things with this game, that makes me want to not recommend this game. The fact that this is one of the older Artifex Mundi games makes it very much different than the newer games, especially with the hidden object puzzles. I'm actually happy with the amount of hidden object puzzles in the game, as I just played a newer games from Artifex Mundi, where there were almost none at all. The graphics and how the items are put into these puzzles makes it really hard to see the items though, and I feel the amount of time I spent on these puzzles also took some of the focus away from the actual story. It's not fun when you have to guess, instead of actually solving the puzzles. The worst thing however with this game, also related to hidden object puzzles is actually something that almost made me throw up, even feeling nauseous, and made me physically ill. Some of the hidden object puzzles, especially the ones in the "main location", had a feature where it would turn the light up very bright, and then dim it again. My eyes hurt, and I had to put my blue light filter on my monitor to level 4, and that's with windows night mode on already! So yeah. If your focus is on the game and story itself, I would recommend it, but for people like me that enjoys to do puzzles and achievements without help, well maybe you should pick a different game.

Tried to play on mac. When in the hidden object games, it doesn't register mouse clicks AT ALL!!! and that means to get out of the hidden object games you have to quit the game entirely... but then you can't get to the main scenes to continue the game. In short, it's so buggy that it's unplayable.

The music is very pleasant, but the visual quality is horrible. The object scenes are plentiful, especially compared to most HOG's out there, but it is quite frustrating to play when you're looking at a vague pixelated screen. It's a pity, because the game could actually be fun had it not been for that. It's also short, without any bonus. I bought the series on sale, so I hope the next editions are a bit more HD.

Vergebe 5/10 Für Spielen zwischendurch ist es ok, aber es gibt viel bessere Spiele von Artifex Mundi. Läuft sehr gut auf dem STEAM DECK. Übersetzung ist mittelmäßig z.B. wird CD-Spieler gesucht und ein Kassettenradio muss ausgewählt werden…

Hidden Object, Strategy, Mini Games, Time Travel, Story line - This game has it all. Interesting but same -o every level starts the same but different encounters. Different Characters but Main character is connected to all in some way. I just kept playing, it keeps drawing you in. Usually, I play awhile then come back. This one I played and came back twice I just couldn't stop.

a good hidden object game, find items, solve mysteries in a pursuit to find your father
