Mystery Case Files: The Revenant's Hunt Collector's Edition

There are thousands of monster stories all over the world, regarding everything from dragons, to ghosts and vampires. Some apparitions appear more common in certain parts of the globe, but there’s definitely no safe place if you are willing to believe such legends. Naturally, the subject is much safer and more approachable in the world of video games, given the fact that you are never really at risk.

Mystery Case Files: The Revenant's Hunt is a casual puzzle game with hidden object gameplay mechanics, in which you play the role of a supernatural investigator and travel to America in order to tackle a curious case. Since the game follows the usual standards set by the genre, the fans should feel right at home from the beginning, while beginners can use the tutorial to get the hang of things in a matter of minutes.

The story starts with the main character setting off to America, or more exactly to the town of Avondel. Here, it would appear that a monster of some sorts is terrorizing the locals, and things get pretty hairy as soon you step into town. Hence, you have to track the beast to the best of your abilities, as well as prevent it from making more victims in the future.

As you might expect, most of your time is spent trying to collect useful objects from every scene, because they are required in order to move on and unlock certain key items. Sometimes the objects are hidden in plain sight, but other times you have to tackle challenging puzzles in order to get to them. There are also all sorts of mini-games that diversify the experience along the way.

In regards to the visual presentation, Mystery Case Files: The Revenant's Hunt is as pretty as the old technology used to develop it allows. Granted, the hand-drawn environments are definitely detailed and colorful, while also requiring very few system resources. The game features full voice acting for every dialog sequences, which is always nice to have.

When it’s all said and done, Mystery Case Files: The Revenant's Hunt is clearly a bit more polished than your average HOPA, especially in terms of puzzles and the graphics.
