Spirits of Mystery: Amber Maiden

Spirits of Mystery: Amber Maiden

Operating System: PC/Mac
Website:  Official Website
Rating: 3/5
Comments: The cutscenes were nice, reminded me of the Age of Wonders ones. The artwork is well done and I liked how the faces moved when they talked. I was rather distracted by how the cursor would just randomly shine for no reason, I thought it was hinting at something but it wasn't at all. I did kinda like the bonus chapter, gave a bit more insight into what went down.

The HO scenes weren't too hard and the puzzles were alright... except the crab one. geez was that one annoying as all hell! The music seriously sounded like something out of Age of Wonders. I thought it was at some point.

The plot was fairly standard. It was pretty much Sleeping Beauty all over again except instead of sleeping the witch encased them in amber. I was a little confused though. I mean, if the witch is so intent on turning you into amber like the rest of the kingdom, why didn't she just do it? Her motives seemed a little lame... what's the point of freezing people if there's no one to rule over? But then again, plot twist at the end that I really didn't see coming so respect for that.
