Mystery Castle: The Mirror's Secret

this is an good looking but pretty bad, short and broken hog game with repetetive gameplay, cliched story and mostly bad puzzles.There's also a glitch in the game prevents to finish game. If you go to the table on the right, then leave, it won't let you go back. You need to do everything there at once. just skip this one and save your money for better hog games.

Was a great game until I got fairly far into it and was in the kitchen scene making a recipe. Clicked on the last required item to plug a pipe and the game froze on me. As a quality assurance engineer in the computer software industry and former game tester, I know these things happen, but it did prevent me from continuing in the game and, in fact, required a hard boot of my PC (and an automatic check of the C drive by my laptop). After the hard reboot and trying again (with the same result) I tried going out of that modal and into a different modal in the same scene and back before clicking on the item again, etc., but it still hung when the item was clicked on, so, anyhow, I was unable to finish the game. Other than that, it is a fun game. Probably just a series of steps I did that caused the issue. If not for the bug, would definitely recommend.

good game except for the bug in the end scene where you can't get back to a puzzle to solve to finish the game. I am assuming that if you do things in the right order at the end then you can finish it, but I am not about to take the time to start from scratch just so I can say I finished it. Good bad with a bad ending because of a unresolved bug. Valve - why do you sell us stuff with bugs so we can;t finish the game?

negative, The game was enjoyable to play for the first day or 2 and then I try to open it back up and all it will do is give me fatal errors and close. No help!

You know when you're playing a hidden object game, and every facet of it seems to have been done by the 'B team'? That's this game. The animations aren't quite up to snuff, the the voice acting is pretty poor, and the hidden object games and mini games just aren't as well done. The mini games are mostly super simple - move the objects to the side to see the picture, or place items into the slot that suits their silhouette (you know, like a toddler's puzzle), that sort of thing. There are some quality gems in there, but few and far between. Hidden object sections - they use each HO section twice, which is perfectly fine for me. What I didn't enjoy is the vagueness of the items. For instance, a "watering can" was actually a funnel, and a "recipe" was an x-ray of someone's hand. This is pretty basic stuff to get wrong, showing this game was done on the cheap with little editing or testing. I will say the length of the game is quite decent, but it is hard to maintain interest when we h...

My only issue with this game has been the sheer inaccuracy of the things hidden in the puzzles. A funnel is NOT a watering can, and an x-ray film is NOT a recipe, for example. Sadly, this is a common occurance in every HOG I've played to date.

A decent HOG with no truly great elements. Everything is done adequately, but nothing truly stands out in this game. The story is similar to a couple other HOGs here on steam and none of the puzzles are reinventing the wheel or anything. I did run into a bug at the end of the game as well, which prevents you from finishing the in-game trophy collection. Ultimately its a middling entry in the genre and not worth buying by itself, although as part of a bundle or on deep discount it could be a good purchase for a big HOG fan.

best game

Got the game on sale. I thought it gave both cute and creepy vibes which I found very enjoyable. I had no issue finishing the game like others mentioned and I was happy to have completed it. ^_^

The end has a bug and most of the game is made hard by hunting pixels.
