About Magnus Failure
Magnus-verse game series (Tetralogy)
I. Magnus Failure
II. Magnus Imago
III. Magnus Positive Phototaxis
IV. Lazarus A.D. 2222
Magnus Failure is an isometric exploration and adventure game with logical elements. The protagonist of the game is a person who, for unknown reasons, finds himself in the isolation of other people and scans the radio in search of a signal. The appearance of a seemingly incomprehensible message makes you want to find the sender. So you set off on a journey through the unique world of Magnus Failure! Solve puzzles using the right combination of items, find them in the surrounding world and solve mini-logic games. The world is full of mechanisms that open up new locations for the player.
Magnus Failure is an atmospheric journey through the mysterious world of signs, symbols and clues that make up the plot of the game. What surrounds the player is ambiguous. He can freely interpret what happened to the world and why the hero was left alone. The unique graphic aesthetics of the game deepens the overwhelming impression of being in a different reality. The protagonist himself is quite an unusual character because he wears a huge helmet with an attached mask straight from the Japanese kabuki theatre. The game is no shortage of other similar references and symbols that give it its character.
Magnus Failure has ambitions to deepen the player's willingness to ask himself philosophical questions about who he is and what his place in the world is. Will you try to find answers to these questions and plunge into the mysterious world of Magnus Failure? Will you open up to the unknown and find the sender of the signal?
Magnus Failure is an introduction to the world of Magnus. The developers are planning to release more parts!

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate the series for its atmospheric hand-drawn art style and varied gameplay across different entries, with later games like Magnus Imago and Lazarus A.D. 2222 being stronger than the first installment. Common complaints include that individual games are quite short, puzzles can be overly simple or occasionally frustrating, some items and mechanics feel unexplained until later in the series, and the UI is somewhat clunky. Most recommend the games for their unique setting and artistic presentation, especially if purchased on sale, though they're best viewed as brief experiences ra
[h3] Sons of Welder / Magnus Series [/h3] Writing this after playing practically all the titles in this saga so far, up to Alice Mesmerizing Episodes of Neurosis. The games in this series are quite varied in gameplay, with the first, Magnus Failure, being an isometric exploration puzzle game, and the next two, Imago and Positive Phototaxis, being puzzle games similar to Rusty Lake ones. The ones that follow take a different turn. Lazarus is a visual novel set in a dystopian future, and the other two games, AMEN and NEUROZA, are not part of the main series but share elements of the universe. They are hidden object games where we search for keys amid related artwork. So, with all that said, are these games for you? It depends, because beyond the fact that the games last about an hour each and are not very difficult, you have to take into account that the story is cryptic, abstract, and strange. Don't expect a story with all the usual elements and an ending that ties up all the loose ends, because it's more about interpretation, with a lot of symbolism. If you're attracted to playing something original, handmade, and especially if you like the visual style, don't think twice. They…6 found this helpful
Oh, when the tags fail the game... It is not a platformer, but an isometric puzzle adventure with an eerie, atmospheric hand-drawn art style. It is short and only the first game of the series, so the ending is more like a "to be continued" picture. All in all, I had my fun. It is recommended.

[h2]Magnus Failure [/h2] (Tetralogy) I. Magnus Failure II. Magnus Imago III. Magnus Positive Phototaxis IV. Lazarus A.D. 2222 Magnus Failure is not for me, Magnus Imago and Magnus Positive Phototaxis, are much better which i will rate positively. I know this is supposed to be a Tetralogy but at the moment I haven't seen the link maybe the last one Lazarus A.D. 2222 will though. The game is slow pace and I usually don't mind in a walking sim for example if the environment is beautiful but this is not the case here, when you finish the game, you still have a lot of things in your bag not sure what they are used for. Edit : Lazarus A.D. 2222 does explain the previous games and now it makes a bit more sense, neverthless I wish Magnus Failure was more point and click like Magnus Imago and Magnus Positive Phototaxis.3 found this helpful
Video: https://youtu.be/zjj95z6NszU A short adventure that's a little bit of a mix of puzzle solving and hidden objects. There's only one puzzle that I think was a little frustrating, and that was lining up the numbers/shapes puzzle bit. I had to take a screenshot and use a picture from my inventory to actually solve this one because my memory is awful. Other than that it's just a very cool ride from start to finish. Nice graphics, nice bit of storytelling(although you don't get a bunch of it), and puzzles that don't make me stare off into the distance wondering if I ever learned to read.1 found this helpful
An OK but short Point and Click game in an unusual setting. The UI is rather clunky, but simple enough to get a hang of. Puzzles are mainly reasonable. I remember starting it awhile back and giving up immediately, but I tried again. Sort of wish there was a "meh" option because of the clunkiness, but because it was finishable its a thumb's up.
