Dec. 2024

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is another point and click game released by Artifex Mundi, and I must say I had a lot of fun with it! First of all, I thought the game's characters looked a bit wonky at first, with their weird teeth and eyes, but as I got into the game I realised the game and history was awesome! Even though the game was trivial, the story was really exciting, maybe even a little bit scary. To avoid telling to much, I recommend this game. Note to self: You, the detective is in Snake Creek to look for your missing friend, who is a reporter for a magazine. Even at first glance, and just a minute into the game you feel something is off and not right.

Nov. 2024

9 Clues: The Secret of the Serpent Creek was a game published by Artifex Mundi back in 2013. If you count from the year I played this minus its origin, the span is 11 years. This game has been out for 11 years and still delivered beyond its capabilities. The story felt very simple but the voice acting was phenomenal, specially for the main characters. I believe this is what painted the story in such fascinating light. The accents in the voice acting brought its characters to life. There is really not much to mention that stood out from the game besides the voice-acting and a small design change for dialogues. This design change is the dialogue with the NPCs: they come in square chat bubbles, not the usual upper subtitle. This change felt like a breath of fresh air, even for a game from 11 years ago. A 100% run in one playthrough is feasible as well, but keep in mind that small errors may cause your run and not getting to 100% achievements. This happened to me but I managed to run another playthrough to fulfill the minor errors. I ended up with only a little over two hours for full completion (in consideration of having no side stories for this game), two full hours if you simply count without the 100% completion. For a two-hour playthrough of the game, it is a good piece of nostalgia for throwback. I would definitely recommend this game, rating it a defined 7.5/10 .

Oct. 2024

One of my favourite Artifex Mundi distributed games. Sort of great in the same way you would consider 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' or 'Troll 2' to be. It's a fun guilty pleasure with very casual and easy going game play that will have me coming back to it again and again

Great fun, simple but very entertaining. Another enjoyable game from Artifex Mundi

March 2024

A nice few hour game with easy puzzles and compelling storyline. You can choose your own playstyle (very hard clue and hidden object or easy), achievements are easy to get (although one is easily missable so read up on them before progressing too far). Use map for quickly getting to places and keeping your eye on things to do (saves time on remembering which way is where). Overall great game, everything made sense and the gameplay was smooth.
