About the previous episode: Yoomurjak’s Ring
The story begins when Jonathan Hunt, a journalist from New York, arrives in the city of Eger in Hungary for a break. He has local ancestry and speaks the language, but this is not the only motive for his visit. In the heritage of his great-grandfather, the globetrotter professor Samuel Hunt (known from the Agon series), he found two letters dated back in 1898. The letters were from a somewhat lunatic Hungarian scientist about a time machine he claimed to be working on. The references point to Eger, and Jonathan wants to find out what happened to the man and his preposterous invention. But soon he realizes that someone is desperately trying to stop him…

pros
✅ story is intriguing. journalist Jonathan Hunt is approached by a friend who works for Atomki, a Nuclear Research Institute, to investigate the disappearance of her brother. What begins as a simple missing persons case soon turns into something much more than Hunt bargained for, which sets him on the trail of a piece of ancient meteorite nicknamed "The Devil’s Stone".
✅ when you press the space button, hotspots are highlighted, so there is no need to pixelhunt
✅ decent english voice acting
✅ there is a nice variety of interesting and eccentric side characters.
✅ well quality FMV
✅ generally well acted by some lead actors
✅ decent length
✅ there is auto save
✅ mostly nice variety and many complex, challenging puzzles. There are also inventory-based puzzles to solve, so you can also make multiple combinations in your inventory and create new items. The majority of the puzzle solutions in this game are based on science and historical scientific figures.
✅ there is a quick travel map, which prevents some backtracking
✅ there are two difficulty options (easy and hard)
✅ there are some interesting indoor and outdoor locations from Hungary.
✅ nice background musics
cons
❌ there are too many boring scientific and mundane conversations with side characters
❌ there are no Steam achievements and cards
❌ some campy acting from side actors.
❌ general B movie and cheesy feeling
❌ there is too much back-and-forth between areas
❌ the last six safe lock puzzles are quite convoluted and tedious.
Overall this is an interesting and fun to play/watch FMV interactive point and click adventure game.
I have a soft spot for FMV games such as this one; nowadays the trend leans more towards choices matter interactive movies rather than traditional FMV adventure games. The English dubbing in this particular game isn't great, but the rest holds up fine. Yoomurjak's Ring stood out to me a bit more because it featured more puzzles, better story and the gameplay felt like navigating Google Maps Street View.
