Mystery Case Files: Black Veil

The game’s too dark and text too small to read.

Would have bought it for $2.99 but at $6.99 way overpriced

The game was pretty good, but the mini puzzles were baffling. Not that I could get the answer - it was that the directions were so bad I couldn’t tell how to start finding the answer. The puzzles might have been good, if I’d been able to figure out how to play them. I do a lot of HOG’s, and these were the worst puzzle directions I’ve ever come across.

Some games seemed really obscure.

… on the horned lady (no spoilers, it’s in the marketing images). Otherwise it was pretty good, lots of game time. Lots of creepy but decently done artwork, for some good spooky times.

I have over 60 BF games, most of which I truly love. Many of my favorites are MCF games. I don’t know what’s happened but Eipix seems to have lost the plot on this one. This storyline is absurd, characters are unimaginative, hidden object screens are just plain silly and the puzzles, which is my main reason for playing, are nonsensical and tailored to school children. I’ll be exceptionally careful about purchasing games from this developer in the future.

Not the same recycled mini games.

I really enjoyed this game. The puzzles were reasonable and not too much back and forth. But way too short. The prequel in the collectors edition should have been expanded and part of the main game.

I don’t play games for the cut scenes or the storyline so if this something you like this review probably wont mean much, but I do love a detective game where you can change locations and they bring new and different puzzles This one truly has great puzzles combined with great detective sequences. *It has a map to show you where to go if you get stuck (on easy level). *It doesn’t have any upgrades or “lives” to cost you any extra money! *It has good hidden object scenes. I wouldn’t say they are the hardest Ive ever come across, but they put them in at the right times and it works nicely. *You can replay all the hidden object scenes whenever you want after you’ve finished the full game *There are a few difficulty levels to choose from and there is always the “hint” button if you ever need it. *The price is fantastic for what you get! And Big Fish Games has the best options for this style of game: a little detective work, HOS, location changes, thought puzzles (although I always skip the math ones haha,) etc. *Big Fish Games has the best graphics out there for this kind of game. I would recommend all of their Mystery Case Files Collection including Ravenhurst as well as their Bound series and Queen Sands. 5 stars from me! Happy Puzzling fellow Detective Puzzlers!!

This game was just ok, mostly boring, and most of the puzzles were way too hard....and the HINT button never once worked. This was in easy setting.
