A very fun simplistic puzzle game where you are a detective solving murders. It's mostly casual, although there are a few tricky parts. You click around to find items and occasionally have a "hidden object" minigame which is almost always super easy since you can just click around until most of it is solved. The actual puzzle element is good, though. You don't see a lot of recycled puzzles here, though the actual...

A murder mystery with a nice storyline and beautiful artwork. The Lonely Hearts Murders is the second game of the series Brink of Consciousness, the story about Owen Wright who is searching for his missing daughter. What worries Own more is the murderer who is still on loose, a mysterious man who kidnaps young people with heartbroken, killing them on the 30'th of their kidnapping. The Victorian style of the game adds...

I'm getting tired of this crap. How am I supposed to enjoy the story if the gameplay doesn't make any sense. Everything is just so random... I mean, there is a secret compartment in someone's house containing a puzzle piece that fits in a puzzle in MY house and when I open it I'll find a door handle or something, because that was worth hiding, right? Why the hell is a cuckoo from my grandfather clock hidden on the...

This second installment in the Brink of Consciousness series serves as both a stand-alone Victorian detective story with a slight touch of occult, and a vague prologue for Oscar's tale in Dorian Gray Syndrome, for the perceptive gamer. I most certainly liked it. The terror factor is lighter compared to the first game, yet the elegance of Victorian Gothic is present and well grasped. It serves as an adventure game...

Anyone experienced with Artifex Mundi's extensive oeuvre (whether developed or only published) will very quickly become familiar with certain hidden object game tropes. In fact, good as they are, it can sometimes get to the point where, from one title to the next, it can feel like a re-skin of previous outings. But what I really like about this and Magicindie's previous Brink of Consciousness game is that they're...

One of the best hidden object games I've played so far, if you can forgive it's weaknesses that come from it's genre. Some story elements and puzzles makes absolutely no sense (Part of your clock ending up I think in a police officer's safe??), and the way characters move is a little rigid - though the developers took their time to animate whole body-scale moving of lots of (!) characters, this is quite a minor...

This is a high quality HOG game with excellent voice overs and stunning graphics. It is a pretty linear detective game with a map. However there is no fast transport to a scene, so a bit of backtracking. Owen Wright's daughter falls into the hands of the Lonely Hearts killer who murders people whose love affairs have gone wrong. You have 30 days to find her before she is killed too. You join forces with your...

Disclaimer: I play hidden object games often, which means I'm used to the weirdness of them (item over here solves random thing over there, picking up crap you have no idea what it does, having an item that could logically solve your problem already but needing to find the "perfect" one, etc). I don't mind it. But I have to give this one a thumbs down. It's not terrible, but there's just nothing special here and...

Rather short (4 hours) and... Deadly. It lacks everything. HOGs are rarely logical but this one wins the absurdity trophy: the story is totaly silly, clues are hidden in everybody's homes and the characters rarely make any sens and constantly act stupid. The graphics are very dark and dull; and when they're not dark they lack contrast. So it's hard to distinguish anything and it makes everything ugly. It also makes...

Childish puzzles and boring problems. You spend a lot of time running from screen to another and back again without actually any valid reason. I guess that increases gameplay nicely.. Definitely not a diamond of P&C genre.
