Mirror Mysteries Reviews

A strange little game only because it wasn't really a HOG or Puzzle game however as you progress through each mirror you do have to find items in order to finish that section which will include several scenes you travel to to retrieve items and place them where they belong in the scene or elsewhere. The 'mini-games/puzzles' not sure what to call them really are a few scattered throughout the game however while there is a skip button there are no instructions so you just sort of have to figure out what to do. The graphics are static, don't expect a big production. characters are still pictures and really it's only centered around the mom who has to progress through the mirrors to do tasks in order to finally find her children. It's a simple no frills game. I picked it up with the sale so for a game that may sell full price at the standard $9.99 or bit less at $1.24 I was satisfied with the fun I had. I will say the voice acting was enjoyable though I found myself laughing after a few times when the mom speaks. The V.A's for the most part each had their own personality and it didnt' feel like the V.A's were just reading from a script as I felt at least they put an effort in having a personality behind the voice. If you like to play just a small casual game like this then try it while it's on sale or wait for it to be included in a bundle where it may be even less. So for what it is I"d say 1 1/2 to maybe 2 stars. Also if you have young kids I think this would be a pretty good choice for them. Also I think it will show my playtime shows 3.7 hours however I often keep games up even if I am not actually playing so if I was to play this without breaks I think it's a game that can be finished in about 2hrs. So I'd say this is shorter game ( average standard editions games I think are about 3-4hrs). Happy gaming~

Super Easy Hidden Object Game !! Time Played i have on this was from Start to Finish ;) Good if you are new to HO games or a younger player.They would enjoy this game more !

A very nice and pretty small game. The story is not really something new or special but the little sub stories and the worlds are pretty nice and well made. I really like this kind of HIO. Its like Mortimer Beckett, at least the first two parts of MB. A nice little game that can be played in about 2 hours. Its really nice. I can really recommend it

So let me get this straight... The family decided to have a picnic near a creepy ass house... The woman, instead of watching the kids laid down to rest... Then the kids were gone (obviously), going inside the house... Clearly no one taught them any stranger danger... Then they thought it be fun to smash the mirrors... Because they are destructive little fs and... That's where you begin... WOT? It was... An interesting distraction. Seriously, don't forget you have a MAGNIFYING GLASS! Items are so small... Some... Yeah... Good day with a thank you!!! :) =)

You're passing time with your children when a strange thing happened: they've broken a magical mirror and the only way to free them is to restore it by travelling to other worlds through mirrors to track down all of the shards... Mirror Mysteries is a hidden object game mainly, meaning that each scene you'll visit will have a list of items to find. Some of them can't be obtained before gathering other items in other locations. And that's what you will do everytime: find objects, place some on the scene because they're missing, head to another location, repeat the same thing and solve one or two puzzles thrown at you. While this gameplay is interesting, I had a major problem: some items are so hard to find because they're partially hidden by the end of the screen or they're so well matched with the background that you don't see them. However, you have a visual indicating that it can be found as they're not in grey and as the game doesn't tell you that you're done with the location. And sometimes, some of the active areas aren't really highlighted, meaning that you don't know what to do in the scene. After a while, it's boring and frustrating. Even if the plot makes sense, I would have expected more background on the mirror or on the worlds you're travelling to. You end up running from the mansion with the kids, which is expected but you don't know nothing about the mirror. The graphics are acceptable though I found them a little too... dead. I mean that I was under the impression that there was like a grey filter on nearly each location and I find that it was adding frustration to find items. The soundtrack and voice acting is ok, particularly the voice of the mirror. I know that Mirror Mysteries isn't a recent hidden object game, however, I feel like that there are better out there. I didn't really enjoy this one and I'm wondering how the sequel will be, if there is any improvement. Anyway, sadly, for Mirror Mysteries, it's a big no from me. I suggest you to look at other games, like Mystery P.I. or Mystery Case Files.

Fun and stress-free game. Hidden-object with a mission and purpose. Instead of clearing out roomfuls of miscellaneous objects, you find & collect pieces of things you need to assemble to complete or repair items in the story. You are rewarded at certain points with cut scenes before moving on to the next locations. This makes it feel more like an adventure game than a hidden object game.

Thumbs down! This game is over ten years old and there are glitches when running it under Windows 10. It didn’t work fullscreen, only in a windowed mode. This is a big drawback for a hidden object game (HOG) since it makes the hidden objects much harder to spot. Trying to get old games to run is always a gamble. Some people were unable to get this game to run at all. The store page shows the release date as 2014, but I think that was when it was released on Steam. The game itself was originally released in 2009. Nowadays, HOGs are usually a mix of a point and click adventure, finding hidden objects, and an assortment of mini-games. This game was almost entirely finding hidden objects. Maybe this game would have been okay ten years ago, but it’s disappointing compared to modern games.

Very Short point and click hidden object. As in I beat this in under 5 hours and I spent half that time doing real life stuff and not playing short. Simple plot. But the puzzels are good, midlevel difficulty. The voice acting isn't unpleasent. The graphics are good. It's just really short and there's no replayability. I got it on holiday sale for less than a buck, and that's what it was worth.

Amazing adventure to mirrors world. Any age children or adult. This game good for any. This is logic game. Solve puzzles and be careful/ You need try it. Can you solve the Mirror Mysteries?

Well, not bad at all. Still, it would be nice to get an idea, or some background story to be revealed about the mirror itself when you complete the game. Oh, well. Won't know until I play the sequel of the game. So far, so good for a hidden object game. Yeah, I do recommend for people who like the genre and wanna kill some time :)
