Good search adventure. Works with touch screen, but sometimes using "tools" is best left to touch pad or mouse. If the Steam version does not work on your system contact Mumbo Jumbo and get the non-steam version.

ENG (wersja polska niżej) This game is a clear case of a brain plug and like every other plug, it should be used to block something: in this particular situation: your brain. Let me explain: one should play a game like this whenever there is too much to think late at night or after work, finding item after item is monotonous and repetitive like digging with a shovel and that’s exactly how I like my hidden object games. And hey! It’s Edgar Allan Poe – it goes great with the whiskey. It might be surprising that – while the game is only about 300 megs of data – the art is more than solid. The gameplay is exactly what you should expect from a game like that: solve a puzzle here, talk with a lost soul there, find a pickaxe, a cucumber, 2 ribbons, 3 nails and a chinchilla elsewhere. And don’t expect that the story will progress without that chinchilla. Yes, there is a story good enough not to skip (although such option is provided) – or maybe, I was looking for the Poe refer...

Typical hidden object game with a light hearted ghostly theme. No choices to make and the hint mechanism means you will not be stuck on any level for long. Familiarity with Poe and his stories will enhance your enjoyment of the game, but are not necessary to complete.

Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allen Poe Conspiracy developed and published by MumboJumbo is the first or 4 (at the time of writing this review 1/26/2023) and it takes a look at 3 somewhat interconnected stories from Edgar Allen Poe in which you are a young writer trying to vindicate Poe from a fate worse than death. Each story provides several hunt and pecks we all know from HOB's everywhere as well as several puzzles which help o provide you clues to crimes so to speak. Each scene looks great and the same stands the tests of time as well, I not to sure I will replay this one or not, its fun, but is doesn't really have the grab for me personally to want to play it over and over. All in all a good game and worth playing through at least once.

Good point and click hidden object. A follow the ghost style plot. Nicely done.

This game is really just a series of hidden object sets strung together into a thin story. There is no real adventure/mystery game element or much of a break from the pure HO gameplay. Worst of all, I'd say, is that the resolution just isn't good enough to make the HO work very well in the first place.

Bought this game for my significant other. When she wanted to play it I tagged along... Usually I'm not into those hidden object kinda games but this one amazed me by its quality. Also, something I did not expect: The story was really entertaining! I actually wanted to know how this one unraveled!!! Surprised? I was... Grab it for your wife/girlfriend and play it with her... You'll see ;)

I love mysteries and I have enjoyed a few mystery games, but I've never really tried out hidden object puzzle games before. This was a nice blend of a mystery with hidden object puzzles. As others have said, it was not difficult and it was impossible to get stuck. Personally, I enjoyed this, as I'm new to the genre. I am currently playing through the second game (Salem Witch Trials), and I've gotten stuck several times. Perhaps that means this game is too easy, but I enjoyed it because I also really enjoyed seeing how the various stories played out and how the different items actually became real clues to the mystery or integrated into the plot. It was very immersive and addictive: I played through the whole thing in one sitting!

This puzzle game is perfect for people starting out on hidden object and puzzle games of this genre. Cant get stuck since there is a raven you can click to help locate a missing item in the room. This game has ALOT of content three separate stories all combining into one big story. This hidden object game is the kind where every screen looks like a garage sale blew up. This is ok since it makes it a good starting game for new players and for veterans a relaxing well paced story to play through. Bridgets bio on Edger Allen Poe: Edgar Allen Poe was rumored in his day as depicted in woodcuts of the era too terrorize the townsfolk of the places he lived throughout his writing career feasting upon the human hearts of those in the countrysides under the pale light of every full moon. It is reported that many who looked into Poe's eyes never lived to tell the tale of his unquenchable bloodlust to prey upon the innocent. His books explored his fascination with the murder of innocent pe...
