Hate searching for things in real life, love it when I do the same on a screen. Can't explain this phenomenon!
SUch a great Object finding game with a good story behind it
love the game the story and game play is fun and very thought out
I used to play this game all the time when I was 7 and coming back it is still awesome
I give it a 34 pineapples out of 2 berries :)
love this little series shame they stopped making new stories
Lovely point and click. Not enough good reviews here. The graphics are awesome, the content is historical and engaging for fans of literature, and the whole thing has a very moody tone going for it that few games in the genre match. I like all the Midnight Mysteries games, but this one is a clear step from say the first one about Poe..
These games generally have high-quality music and graphics, and the ride is never too rough in the logic department. Animation is generally spot on and makes the journey worth it. A great way to spend some time clicking things. Definitely a must have for any Mark Twain fans. There are also a surprising amount of extras in this edition.
As for the negative reviews... well I don't agree at all. Very few HOG games incorporate even light historical elements, and even fewer have nice animations on a lot of the background and gameplay elements. I had these free from the internet, but decided to buy them here on Steam. On sale they are well worth the full package for the four games. Complaints are mostly petty nonsensical. This is a solid game with a great vibe. Grab a Steam Grid from the database for your LIbrary if you get it.
Theoretically interesting (Mark Twain's ghost asks you to help him unravel a mystery via time travel, Shakespeare, Faust & ghost boats!) but the puzzles are visually muddier and more obtuse here than in past entries, and there's no real sense of urgency. So a cool-sounding plot is ruined by bad mechanics & visuals.
Your standard Hidden Object Point and Click game. Nice graphics for a 7 year old game. Has more different puzzles mixed in with the Hidden Object ones, which is a nice change. The plot is decent, mixing historical facts with fiction which I rather enjoyed. :)
Okay, a few of puzzles this one were very tricky. It took me over an hour to solve one of them. Kinda made me angry when I finaly figured it out.
Overall game was pretty good. The puzzles always had some clue to solve them if you looked around and the story kept the game flowing. The only "con" I could see was that the game was fairly short. It does however offer various other play modes after completing the main "story" that does give it some replay value.
I am once again pleasantly suprised with MumboJumbo and this installment of the Midnight Mysteries series. So far, I like this one the best. It has a good story and nice crisp graphics. I enjoyed the atmosphere/jumpscares. I wished more HOGs did this. It is nice to experience a slightly scary atmosphere without having to go to the horror genre. Sometimes you just want spooky but not "Outlast" scary. I also liked all the extra goodies included. Would recommend if on sale.
Very good hidden object game. The graphics are dated at this point, but still well worth playing. This one and Haunted Houdini are my favorites in the Midnight Mysteries series.
Not the best puzzle/hidden object game in the world, but it's got some good atmosphere and offers a decent run if you get it at a bargain price.
Good point and click hidden object. The Midnight mystery series are on a follow the ghost style plots and this is one of the best in the series.
This is a Hidden Object/puzzle game and it's pretty fun. The puzzles are a good balance between easy and hard (though I did get stumped a couple times) and the Hidden Object scenes are quite detailed. The story took me about 2 and a half hours but once you finish it, a bunch more stuff unlocks to keep you going for a long time to come!
The Midnight Mysteries series contains some of my favorite hidden object games. These are the more typical hybrid type games, that have some adventure elements (puzzles, moving between locations, talking to people) as opposed to the find-objects-only style.
Midnight Mysteries are interesting in that they are based on real historical events, then add some fictional what-ifs to fill in blanks or give alternate explanations for known events. As a result, not only are the fun as a game but they spark some interest in reading about the real events on Wikipedia.
MM3 goes into Mark Twain's past and the story of what happened to his brother. Very interesting stuff.
Just like Salem Witch Trials, this one is definitely more involved than the Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy with the puzzle-solving aspect, but has some *seriously* revisionist history going on in the story. Only recommended if you like hidden object games and if you buy it in a bundle with the other three Midnight Mysteries.
Rating: 3/5
Fun way to spend 5 hours. 3 has substantially more scene "scavenger hunts" (not sure what they're actually called) which are my personal favorite part. These scenes also have started to include more crossword-type puzzles than the earlier games did. The story of Mark Twain and his fictional characters was equally good. The cutscene graphics are good enough here. It's still very linear, but it's worth a few bucks -- as long as you aren't an achievement hunter.
This spooky game is perfect for any dark and mysterious night. This game has a guide if you get stuck built into the game, plus a hint raven that gives you hints on where to go if you leave the game and pick it up later. Great imagry used with tons of scary effects as you follow the twisted life of Mark Twain as you uncover Shakespeares most dark secrets.

Bridgets historical background on Mark Twain and Shakespeare:
Mark twain was born the day Haleys comet flew over head and as his father said of his newborn son, "He will usher in a new era of peace". Little did he know lurking in the shadows was Shakespeare twiddling his mustache waiting to thwart the plans of Mark Twain. Mark Twain trained for decades honing his martial arts doing menial chores to enhance his KungFu, such as painting fences, as Mr.Hukkleberry would say "PAINT UP, PAINT DOWN!". Twain found Shakespeare on skull island in the Globe theater contemplating his plans for world domination. As Twain approached Shakespeare who was a master witch, he found him leaning over a cauldron saying, "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble." Before Shakespeare could complete the spell to take over the world, Mark Twain lept across the room jump kicking Shakespeare in the face. Lying on the ground Shakespeare looked over at Twain saying, "Hey Twain have a taste of my Shake-spear!!!" Shakespeare yelled at Twain, "COME HERE!", whereupon from Shakespeares wrist, came a spear attached to a rope. Twain dodged the Shakes-spear using his cat like reflexes to grab it out of mid air. Seeing the rope attached to Shakespeare's wrist, Twain pulled the rope so hard it flung Shakespeare through two walls! Dust filled the air as bricks and boards fell all around them. What Twain didnt know is Shakespeare had rigged the Globe Theater to explode. Shakespeare stood up, "You think you can stop my evil plans to take over the world, you'll never escape Mark Twain!". Shakespeare pulled a blanket off the wall revealing a pile of explosives. Twain turned towards the door running as he heard the maniacal laughter of Shakespeare breathing down the back of his neck.
Shakespeare rushed to the balcony of the Globe Theater standing with a knife in his hand, when he spotted Mark Twain running. Shakespeare lept off the balcony as the globe theater exploded into flames behind him screaming "I'LL CUT YOU EAR TO EAR MARK TWAIN!". Mark Twain proclaimed, "Its never too late for the light of liberty to shine Shakespeare!". As Shakespeare hurtled towards him, Mark Twain did a combat roll grabbing an American Flag impaling Shakespeare killing him instantly. Twain looked down at Shakespeares dead body saying, "Sic Semper Tyrannis". Shakespeare uttered his dying words to Twain, "You can strike me down, but my theatrical literary works will become more powerful then you can possibly imagine!". Shakespeare's diabolical plot to invent "Homework" had succeeded. Children all over the world were forced to read the works of Shakespeare instilling hatred for generations to come.
fin
Le meilleur et le plus abouti de la série, je recommande de commencer par le 1 et le 2 histoire d'être bien dans l'ambiance (et d'oublier que le 4 existe!!!).
Gameplay is identical to the 2nd one--just a different story and maybe a little more of it. It is as good as the 2nd one and maintains interest throughout, but doesn't offer anything unique that makes it stand apart from its predecessors.
