[quote]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app[/quote] True Reporter. Mystery of Mistwood is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. There's only a superficial "game" here. This mobile app isn't free. It's a weak ripoff of the hundreds of Artifex Mundi mobile apps, a weak and badly written detective adventure with the usual Adobe Flash tier hidden object "puzzles", but this is just a demo and not the full game, you have to unlock that by giving your credit card details to the shady mobile devs who dumped this cancerous monetisation on Steam to try gouge PC gamers they same way they do mobile peasants. This is not okay. You also have to pay money to unlock "helpers", without which some of the puzzles can't be solved at all... this is cancer. Putting toxic mobile app monetisation aside... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I don't think you did either... this kind of mobile app has no place in your Steam library. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

«Динамичный детективный сюжет» и «Интересные беседы с жителями города» - две главные особенности игры, которые обещают нам разработчики. И знаете что? Они нагло врут! Игра настолько вялая и скучная, а главная героиня настолько деревянная и, я извиняюсь, неадекватная, что буквально каждое её слово вызывает дикое раздражение. Читать диалоги - скучно и бессмысленно, т.к. все они строятся по типу: "Это улика? Это улика. Мы нашли улику!" - в какие то моменты мне вспоминались Братья Пилоты с их диалогами, но у них это было забавно, а тут уныло. Ещё хуже дела обстоят с пустой тратой времени - вы выбираете задание, ГГ по карте идёт до нужной локации, вам открывается окно локации, выбираем задание, заходим на локацию, выбираем снова задание, играем 1 минуту, окно результата и награды, окно повтора задания, аааааа, меня бомбит!!! Энергия заканчивается быстро, реклама постоянно всплывает, и, в конце-концов, баги! Я параллельно играл в «Цена свободы 2» и там, по факту, всё тоже самое, но там игра умудряется завлекать. Хотя бы своей скоростью. Потенциал конечно был, но я просто не в состоянии его осилить, не уснув при этом.
I love the "find the item" style games but i couldn't care less about the story you're trying to tell, however i was willing to play it until i came across the whole "energy" and micro transactions part. Yeah i get it, it's a free game but there a loads of free games on steam i can play completely and fully without having to wait for my energy bar to refill by itself. Go back to facebook with these weak games. I'd rather pay a one off sum to access the full game without an energy bar. Not recommended
Zu viel Grind, zu wenig Spielspaß. True Reporter: Das Mistwood-Geheimnis enttäuscht durch eine extrem aggressive Monetarisierung. Ohne Echtgeld-Einsatz stoppt der Spielfluss ständig wegen Energiemangel [1]. Die Wimmelbilder sind oft unfair gestaltet, da Objekte winzig oder unlogisch platziert sind, um den Kauf von Hinweisen zu erzwingen. Am Ende ist es eine repetitive Klick-Orgie statt eines spannenden Krimis.
Yes.
There is pixel problems that makes u unable to click the actual item u find and drains your timer til u find the exact pixel far from where it should be. Also invisible items that actually dont show. and no its not cause im blind i actually used up extra time just to be sure the item was gone. This started recently and i been goin 100% with no issues so far. Just fooling you into buy coins etc. to buy stuff and time when sometimes its not even your own fault but the games graphical. This game works good for phone and facebook games, not if u wanna spend time at pc for a little adventure.
Sarà che sono abituato ai giochi della five bn ma questi fatti da loro non mi piacciono proprio, tutti uguali. Lentezza, bug, pochissimo tempo, oggetti MEZZI nascosti , traduzione in italiano fatta coi piedi che non permette di capire che sfaccimma di oggetto devi cercare e un continuo reminder di pagare per avere più aiuti dato che ne hai solo 3. Pessimo, non mi sono divertito ma esaurito.
Хорошая игра. время убивает
Jeu gratuit et agréable.
