About Marcella Moon: Secret on the Hill
Hello fellow adventurers! I'm on my way to Sligo, Ireland to investigate the disappearance of famous writer, Amelia Goldstone. Some say she simply wanted to disappear. Others say she was kidnapped by fairies. All I know is I need to get over there quickly to find out what happened. Along the way, I'll have to explore Irish culture and mythology and talk to the locals in order to solve this mystery.

In a word: it's very cute. I can definitely feel the creator's passion and the Nancy Drew inspiration, and I love seeing somebody commit to creating something for the love of doing so. My playtime is more or less accurate (~45 minutes to complete). I did have to check a guide because the movement/interaction arrows are a bit finnicky and not always intuitive - if you can't find something (or think you're stuck in a location) you need to very slowly check along the edges of the screen until the arrow appears. The game is definitely a product of its time - no voice acting, somewhat clunky animations, etc. - but that honestly endears me to it even more.
Really loved the plot in this bad boy. Reminds me of 'Ireland' (country) and all the CRAZY stuff that happens there every day! Won't ever forget the characters... Finn McCool... Saoirse... Ranger Pete... and that old nefarious innkeeper. That sword... it's something I'll think about a lot! For the rest of my days.. that's for sure. That's. For. Sure. Anyways... Not a big fan overall.
I was fairly intrigued at first by the Nancy Drew-ishness of the game... But not only did the unnatural movements of the characters serve as quite a distraction, but I cant save the game or even just minimize the window so I can continue on later. Apparently, you have to play the game straight through or you lose all the progress you've made. Very annoying.
This was fun, short mystery game. I liked the plot, puzzles, and ambience. Looking forward to the next game!
This was a short but fun adventure to get swept up in! Even though the story was told through text and still scenes, it still managed to surprise me at certain moments and have action scenes that felt suspenseful! The music also sets the mood for an epic adventure!
Just finished Marcella Moon: Secret on the Hill for the first time. I enjoyed following the clues, and I think you're definitely on the right track! I liked the brightly-colored animation (because I didn't have to turn up my contrast) :)
