Software Reviews and Criticism

  Not Really an Artifex Mundi Creation

  Just because Artifex Mundi published this, it doesn't mean they had a hand in developing it. The real developer responsible for this stinker is Two Deperados, known for indie games. I'm normally easy on indies, but just cannot show leniency for this one. The voice overs are horrendous (my dog could probably do better narration) with flat, emotionless tone and delivery. The interface is weird. The music stinks. A couple of the menu options make no sense. I could only get through twenty minutes before uninstalling. I may have missed out on a good game and perhaps sound picky and critical, but only those who've played other A.M games will know what I'm talking about. I'm just amazed that Artifex Mundi would put their name on this; I was hoping to see some semblance of them in this game, but no, it never happened.

  I enjoyed it

  Does this game have the most involving plot or best voice acting or cleverest puzzles? No. But, unlike games that require great dexterity or the ability to devine the never explained rules, I found it involving and enjoyable. The puzzles are interesting and doable. Not for hard core gamers but fun for people who like a more casual experience. I appreciated being able to try the game before buying it (through an in-app purchase), and not needing to buy anything else after unlocking it.

  Short, and OK, but not a great game

  I liked some of the puzzles and the plot was good until about the middle of the story, the art was OK. But this game was short and casually produced. The detective (your avatar) is voiced terribly, which really made the experience less entertaining. If you want something easy and distracting for an hour or so, I suppose you won’t complain about it. But I should have read the other reviews, and won’t buy Two Desperados/Artifex Mundi again.

  A little bit of polishing 🤔

  I dont want to be rude… the games are awesome; all of them. But it’s a little irritating when the character voices sound like they’re literally reading from a script. It takes away from the ambiance of it. I say redo the casting, mainly the detective’s voice. She was super fake. I want to feel some emotion. I think we can all relate.
