Publisher: Artifex Mundi
What I Paid: $2.19
Verdict: Not Shovelware.
What I Say:
Here we are with another Artifex Mundi hidden object game. The set-up for this story is that two brothers are at war over magic and your son has been kidnapped as a result.
What follows is fairly standard Artifex Mundi fare; simple puzzles, hidden object screens and mini-games. A clunky and limited spellcasting ability using scrolls has been tacked on but adds little overall.
What They Say:
Long ago, the twin kingdoms destroyed each other in war. The White Kingdom was rebuilt with magic, but the Black Kingdom is still cursed – dark clouds envelop the sky, and dangerous vines destroy fields and houses. The noble Queen Mariette in the White Castle looks after her own subjects, but also supports the suffering inhabitants of the dark land. During your dangerous journey you will meet the inhabitants of both the White and Black Kingdoms. It won’t be immediately clear who is really trustworthy. The boundaries between good and evil, magic and technology, and black and white will begin to blur, and the fate of the two kingdoms – and your son’s life – will be in your hands. Will you work with the most unexpected allies? Will you stop the evil and solve the mystery of the royal blood?
