Wednesday~ Mosaic Tomb of Mystery

Hello hello!  Still trying to work on my blasted term paper, so only one game's getting reviewed today, I'm sorry!




Mosaic Tomb of Mystery is a surprisingly entertaining puzzle game where you take pieces of a hieroglyph and place them on the board to decode them.  The more you decode, the more you understand the mystery.

What mystery, you ask?  You are given the task of figuring out which of 3 suspects is responsible for mudering King Tut.  Turns out, a wound on his knee is what caused the fatal infection that led to his death.  But whoooo did it?  That's up to you to find out ;)

Gameplay is nice and simple, it's a click and drag game with little tricks built in.  Graphics could have been better, but they don't detract too much from the entertainment value at all.  The soundtrack is also really neat, so I liked it.  There's not a continuing narrative through the game per se, but after each set of glyphs is decoded you get to hear the narrator read them to you.

Difficulty: ♥♥♥
Engaging: ♥♥♥♥
Graphics: ♥♥♥
Soundtrack: ♥♥♥♥
Overall: ♥♥♥♥

Have a good one!  Wish me luck on this paper >.<
