Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Review

Mystery Case Files-Dire Grove is a truly one-of-a-kind game that combi😼nes some el♍ements of first person adventure with a hidden objects game.

Great Graphics, Some Live Acting

🌳As you walk around, you discover areas marked by sparkles that indicate to search for objects that will help u🌃ncover the supernatural legend of Dire Grove. The graphics are truly wonderful and even include scenes with live actors.

Some Uninteresting and Time Consuming Activities

One of the major downsides of the game is that time spent hunting for objects is greatly reduced because searching for new locations and learning which items unlock new areas is very time consuming. The tutorial provided in the game is very limited and will often leave players out of new locations to hunt objects and no indication as to which inventory object is needed to unlock 🅘a new area. Furthermore, objects remain in their original location🎀 when an area is revisited, reducing the re-play value of the game.

Conclusion - A Good Effort That Falls Short

Although Dire Grove has a distinctly original plot line and outstanding graphics for the genre, the amount of time spent hunting objects is too little and the conf𒊎usion created by the unique navigation of the game is too great, ultimately belittling its value.
