Victorian Mysteries: The Yellow Room

головоломка, где игроки расследуют загадочное преступление в викторианской эпохе, решая головоломки и собирая улики

Average Game - Detective Fred Larson is the main killer but sadly you cannot kill him as he escaped in the train. Pathetic ending if you ask me. I like satistying endings.

Victorian Mysteries: The Yellow Room adapts Gaston Leroux’s classic locked-room mystery into a modern-leaning hidden object adventure. Traditional search scenes are gradually supplemented by inventory-based tasks and light puzzle mini-games, giving the game a more contemporary structure. The story is conveyed clearly, but the player’s role remains largely observational. As Sainclair, you document evidence and follow events while Rouletabille conducts the actual detective work. The environments are detailed and easy to navigate, yet the investigation rarely feels interactive or intellectually demanding. Presentation is competent rather than striking. Cutscenes show modest animation, voice acting is serviceable, and the classical music — drawn from Tchaikovsky — is effective but repetitive. A full playthrough is short, lasting only a few hours. Overall, The Yellow Room offers a faithful but restrained interpretation of its source material. It suits players interested in narrative-driven hidden object games, but may disappoint those looking for a more active or challenging detective experience.

No fast travel, no clear indicators on the map of where to go if stuck, no hints outside of the HOS part of the game, and no clear instructions on the puzzles. I love HOGs but this one was annoying to play. Doesn't help my opinion that the game crashed when I was about three puzzles from finishing the game for good. No idea if my progress was saved. Dark Parables are better HOGs to play.

I really wish I could've played it, the beginning was very promising. But during some HOG scene my screen was just frozen & after reboot I decided to request a refund

Fun little mystery game with some slightly challenging puzzles. Fast paced and entertaining six hour long game. Worth trying if you can find it for five dollars.
