The Secret Of Arcanesium: A Mosaic Mystery

Mosaics are designed to provide you with a simple way to put your mind to work, as well as many colorful levels to gaze upon. The nonograms are not very difficult to begin with, but you need to be careful not to make too many mistakes, otherwise you have to take it from the top. The developers can also add a bit of a story in between the puzzles.

The Secret Of Arcanesium: A Mosaic Mystery is a puzzle game in which you have to solve nonogram puzzles and investigate a mystery at the same time. You shouldn’t expect too much of a story, on the other hand, especially since the puzzles are quite simple to begin with. However, you can still have a lot of fun investigating a simple mystery.

Thus, it all starts when the main character receives a message from a Professor Baumgartner, who tells you to find the Arcanesium. Obviously, the journey is full of interesting events and traps, so you might get a bit of enjoyment out of the adventure. There are all sorts of special items you have to find along the way, all of which come in handy sooner or later.

Nonograms are simple to solve in theory, but they are pretty tough if you do not take the time to carefully analyze them. Hence, you have to fill a mosaic with colorful tiles and follow the instructions for every row and column. Sometimes this is straightforward, but other times the high number of possible options force you to take a while to consider them.

Lastly, the graphics are nothing to write home about, but they are not very important in a puzzle game such as this one, fortunately. Every static cutscene and background is nicely drawn and quite colorful, which makes for a relaxing adventure. The same goes for the soundtrack, because you can easily get into the mood thanks to the nice music playing in the background.

In the end, The Secret Of Arcanesium: A Mosaic Mystery is quite the interesting puzzle game, at least if you like mosaics and nonograms. However, it can also get very repetitive after a while, depending on how patient you are.
