Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective Collector's Edition

Fantasy stories rely heavily on the reader’s ability to detach from the real world, but they have to make things at least somewhat believable in order to have the desired effect. Hence, this is why stories like Lord of the Rings have been received so well, given the fact that although there are elves and orcs in there, the conflict and the characters are very relatable and believable in most instances.

Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective is a time management game in which you play the role of a detective named Rose as she takes on a weird mystery. In case you are a veteran of the genre, everything should be familiar to you from the first minutes of gameplay, given the fact that most things are the same. Hence, you have to collect resources and complete objectives as quickly as possible to pass the levels.

The story starts with Rose receiving a letter telling her to go to Route 66 in order to meet her estranged parents. However, a tornado appears and sends her to a fantasy land full of intriguing characters, which is where she also learns that her parents have been kidnapped. Using her detective skills, she must now investigate the colorful land for clues regarding the mystery at hand.

As mentioned before, there are no groundbreaking advances in the gameplay department, so it all revolves around clicking on things and waiting for your workers to complete the tasks. Removing obstacles costs resources, and it’s also possible to build facilities in order to streamline the resource process. Naturally, all sorts of unique objectives are part of every level as well.

The top-down perspective never gets old, and it’s definitely the right choice for a time management game. Not only that, but the environments are very detailed as well, which is always a plus. You can easily issue multiple commands at once, and your workers are very good when it comes to accomplishing them in the desired order. The background music is pleasant for the most part as well.

Even if it doesn’t bring anything new to the table, Rose Riddle: The Fairy Tale Detective can still provide you with a few hours of fun. It’s a treat for the eyes as well, while the multiple difficulty levels allow anyone to have a blast without too much effort.
