Mark Twain, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare in the same game? I'm on it! I couldn't leave the game for a 5 minute break. I was so hooked that I had to find out what is going on. Recommended to all HO, paranormal, mystery, literature lovers! PROS: - Complex plot with intricate themes (spies, treason, paranormal, innocence, death, the deal); - Rounded characters (even the demon has motives - he's not just there for scares); - Different situations matching the books written by the prime author of the game (this is a very nice touch!); - Creepy, eerie music with nice sounds effects; - Realistic graphics perfect for screenshots (* Go to CONS section); - Few jumpscares to give you a good jolt; - Easy to learn mechanics; - Easy to hard to obtain achievements. CONS: - I have heard that the company / studio behind the series doesn't exist anymore, that is why we don't get updates. For instance the screenshot problem can only be solved by using our own Print Screen key. If you got a Windows 10, you have to press simultaneously the Windows + PrtSc keys to take a screenshot. You then go to / Pictures on your computer / laptop and upload some to your Steam account. That's the only…5 found this helpful
This game has a lot of atmosphere. It was fun meeting the characters of Sam Clemens' world and riding the steamboat down a bit of the Mississippi. I recently took a tour a few days down that river and am reading about its history. Midnight Mysteries #3 is well thought out and carefully designed. It has a lovely journal with helpful notes and a help feature as well. I played on the easiest level with a Windows laptop and had zero problems with gameplay.
Excellent game plan; really makes you think about the logical next step - keeps you guessing.

Better than part 1&2 but still no narration, a boring, uninteresting story and flat unimaginative characters. Another miss from MumboJumbo.
Game is impossible to run on modern computers/drivers. It's a slow, sluggish mess. Do not buy.
