Mystery Case Files: Moths to a Flame Collector's Edition

MCF has a long history with me before I even owned a steam account, the series is my childhood my favorite being MCF Diregrove. This one is a very interesting take and is like a tribute to some of the past games paying honours to other detectives. MCF classics like Ravenhearst and Madam Fate is embedded into the game and imo it's better to play them beforehand to truly experience this one. You play as the master detective who seems to be well the best of them all, the antagonist had kidnapped the other detectives so he can steal the title and it's your job to help them. The puzzles are okay and the HOG scenes are cool, like the theater like experience in some HOG scenes. The music is also good, the art as usual is super great. Wish the game had steam achievements but you can still attempt the ingame ones. There are side quest of collecting stamps and morphing objects. Also enjoyed most of the extra content like getting the gold trophies for the HOG puzzles it was fun! I wish i can use the same profile to collect the 40 stamps but that is not allowed, otherwise I really did enjoy the game!

Just like MCF The Countess this one was fine, the story was fine, puzzles were fine, so again an overall fine game. And just like most of the MCF series the art looks amazing! The voice acting is okay. In this game you get locked out of previous areas a couple of times, which I both do and don't like. I do because it lets you know you're done there, but I don't because I feel a bit restricted by the game, plus I think it would be more interesting to have to go back to an area because you "missed" something. By that I don't necessarily mean that you've actually missed something, but more like you find a new puzzle later on that requires an item that then gets unlocked in an earlier location. Also, sometimes you get an item that has no use yet. But later on you can instantly open/unlock something because you've had the required item for a while already, which feels like you're too fast, or like you've done something in the wrong order. Minor story spoiler: [spoiler]The Archivist mocking the player is a bit annoying, I know it's just part of the story, but still a bit annoying in my opinion.[/spoiler] Bigger story spoiler: [spoiler]The other agents being dumb except for one of them is…

Challenging enough, looks nice throughout. A lot of collectibles, sadly no steam achievements. The story is fun, it does mention a lot of the previous games in this series. Therefor you might want to play some more of the other cases before starting this one.

It's alright

Good puzzles

I have played all of the MCF games and this is by far my favorite one. It has good puzzles and a compelling story, as well as callbacks to previous games in the series.
