I
am an avid fan of mouse-pointer games, especially if they belong to the Mystery
genre. After hours of skimming through the internet I came up with these little
gems, that too, for absolutely free. Mind you though, these games are beginner’s
level games where you barely have to read a walkthrough. You can figure out how
the game progresses yourself. So, let’s get into it. Simply click on the game
names to get the download links.
- 1. Vampire Saga series
This
is my most favorite starter mystery game ever. The story, as the name suggests
is about vampire. The first game in the series Pandora’s Box (2009) is followed
by two sequels: Welcome to Hell Lock (2011) and Break Out (2012). The games
offer Hidden Objects scenes, where you need to collect various item that will
help you progress in the story. It also has a good number of cut scenes giving
it a cinematic and sophisticated feel. The setting and premise of the story
give the player the perfect creepy chills. This is the perfect game for a chilly
Halloween night.
- 2. The Island Castaway series
If
you like Mystery games but do not like the Hidden Objects part, or you want to
play a game just for it mystery and not horror vibes, then, this is the perfect
game for you. Both the game feature the same game-play, where you need to
control the main character with mouse clicks. It does not have the Hidden Objects
parts, which can be annoying for some people. In this game, interacting with
the supporting characters is one of the main key points of the game to progress
the story-line. Not to mention, the graphics is quite clean and crisp and
refreshing.
- 3. Namariel Legends: Iron Lord
I
didn’t know I needed a Mystery game in a Steampunk Fantasy setting until I
played this game. Featuring gorgeous locations, interesting puzzles and a cool
storyline, this game took my breath away. The story is, however, a typical
Chosen One fantasy story where the main character is prophesized to dethrone
the villain Iron Lord. But the way it is told is, especially because it is in
the game format, gives it its justified glory.
- 4. Snark Busters series
Another
Fantasy game with a Sci-Fi Steampunk setting with quirky and amusing graphics
giving it a comic book feel. This is another Hidden Objects game, but instead
of taking the player to a separate location, the objects are hidden right on
the main screen. The premise of the story is about a secret club called Snark
Busters whose main aim is to capture the elusive and magical creature called
Snark – a creature so good at hiding that no one ever saw it but apparently
many people know about it. This game is a perfect blend of graphics, comical
music and baffling story-line which is sure to keep the players hooked on to it
till the end.
- 5. Dark Angels: Masquerade of Shadows
This
is an exclusively Hidden Objects game set in an Urban Fantasy setting. Even
though the game-play is almost similar to other Hidden Objects games, what stood
out to me are the graphics, the story-line and little mini-games side by side
with the finding hidden objects part. The magic system of the story is a mix of
witchcraft and shamanism. The setting along with befitting music creates the
perfect environment for a truly mysterious experience.
