Mystery Trackers: Queen of Hearts

Sometimes a single person is able to have a significant impact on a situation to change its course, whether for better or worse. Hence, heroes and villains are very interesting, even more so in fictional creations such as books or video games. On the other hand, their exploits must be somewhat believable, otherwise the stories become too childish to evoke any emotions.

Mystery Trackers: Queen of Hearts is a hidden object adventure game in which you have to solve puzzles and explore the environment in order to discover all the items that might come in handy. There are no incredible advancements in regards to gameplay mechanics, so if you are familiar with the genre you should be able to get to it from the first minutes.

The story is nothing out of the usual either, since it features the same hero tale of courage, luck and wits. In short, you have to tackle a plague that takes over an entire town, although its origins are a mystery. Hence, you also need to find out what caused the strange illness, while also fighting against the clock to cure as many people as you can until your goal is achieved.

As mentioned before, the mechanics are nothing out of the usual, which means that you have to explore each scene for useful objects and use them to unlock the way further. There are also puzzles that require your attention, but most of them are just simple mini-games that feature simple solutions once you find the right pattern to unlock them.

Lastly, at least the graphics are as beautiful as you would expect when it comes to hand-drawn artwork. Every scene is incredibly detailed and nicely animated with slight special effects added on top, but nothing too fancy in this regard. Thankfully, at least the sound effects and the music are nice enough to make the atmosphere more pleasant, and so are the cutscenes that explain the story.

In the end, Mystery Trackers: Queen of Hearts can easily keep you busy from start to finish, but it’s not exciting enough to be memorable. The puzzles fall flat, and the story is a bit too simple as well.
