the-secret-of-chateau-de-moreauWho doesn’t love a good mystery?In The Secret of Chateau de Moreau, players take on the role of Antoine,whose wealthy foster father has passed away under mysterious circumstances and left all of his wealth to Antoine.In order to claim his inheritance,Antoine also has to clear his name—and this is where the detective work comes in.To solve the murder mystery, players have to question other characters, solve puzzles, and search for clues.It’s a very well-designed game and well put-together.Mystery fans should really enjoy this charming app.The Secret of Chateau de Moreau comes with killer pencil art graphics,an endless array of puzzles,and a story thick enough to choke on.There’s three different types of gameplay.Sometimes you walk your character around a floor-map of the Chateau, searching rooms for objects, using objects or presenting them to people.During your investigations you’ll uncover topics of interest,which are recorded as clues.Once a clue is revealed, you can question the various characters about it and use objects to resolve that clue.The second type of play is when you present your evidence, at the appropriate times, to solve the mystery.It’s this part of the game which is most like Phoenix Wright.If you don’t respond to the situation correctly, you might fail to prove your innocence.You’re given five candles (lives), which extinguish each time you make a mistake.There’s 40 alternate endings, which are presented in this game like achievements.So, in addition to completing the story, you can also try to reveal the other 39 endings.The third type of gameplay involves puzzles to solve, such as opening an object, entering a code, or putting things in the right position.The developers advise there are over 100 puzzles, so I’ll take their word on that.The developers have done a bang-up job optimizing The Secret of Chateau de Moreau’s interface for the iPhone.All the necessary controls are only a click away, and the inventory makes managing collected items a cinch.The art style itself is brilliant, with a pencil-and-manga motif that compliments the creepy atmosphere of the game to the letter.The sound and the graphic of the game are well coordinated with the theme of the game and you will have a great mystery effect while playing it.
