Grimey games / Mystery Case Files
Anyone else really just sad about Mystery Case Files? I used to really look forward to their yearly release and for big fish and it’s very generic games they really were an anomaly among them. The games were gothic, grimey, the dialogue was cliche but funny at times, it's aware of its parody nature, and the music / atmosphere was incredible plus the puzzles are actually quite difficult and fun. It’s a shame the series became a flanderisation of itself, the puzzles got easy and repetitive, the graphics butchered and the story was just bad and worst of all boring. I feel like it hasn't been the same since Fate’s carnival and I just miss grimey hidden object games and obviously the good games (early Ravenhearst etc) are getting more difficult to play on computers as time goes on. Love to know what people think plus if there’s any recommendations for similar games I’d love them.
