Witches' Legacy: Covered by the Night Collector's Edition

Magic is an important part of fantasy games, because it allows the writers to come up with many interesting concepts that make the adventures much more enjoyable. Sometimes the ideas are a bit too far out there to make sense or encourage immersion, but every now and again someone has a really interesting take on sorcery and puts it to good use.

Witches' Legacy: Covered by the Night is a hidden object adventure game that allows you to go on a riveting journey in a magic-infused world and use a variety of interesting spells to defeat evil creatures. Everything you do can be resumed to a few simple mini-games and hidden object sequences, but if you are a fan of the genre you can get behind the concept and just enjoy the challenge.

As far as the story is concerned, you have to do everything in your power to find Anabel, your girlfriend, after the Witches’ University has been attacked. However, it turns out that an evil sorcerer is behind the whole deal, so the pursuit gets more interesting along the way as you have to overcome his traps. Naturally, the plot is anything but complex, yet it can still keep you engaged from start to finish.

The scenes feature a variety of useful objects that must be picked up in order to advance, but every item has some sort of purpose in the grand scheme of things. Thus, you never end up with junk in your inventory, since everything fits together quite nicely. The actual puzzles are fairly challenging as well, even if most of the time they rely on finding the right patterns and applying them a couple of times in a row.

However, the atmosphere is always engaging, given the fact that you often deal with supernatural events and magic spells that are quite neatly integrated into the action. The wonderful, hand-crafted artwork helps in this regard as well, as do the cutscenes and the decent voice acting that makes the character more believable sometimes.

Witches' Legacy: Covered by the Night walks the same path as its predecessors, which means that it should be the perfect choice if you have enjoyed the rest of the episodes. On the other hand, you shouldn’t expect anything original in the gameplay mechanics department.
