Queen's Quest 3: The End of Dawn

Good characters and voices in this one, has a Harry Potter vibe with off brand Dumbledore, Snape, and female goth Malfoy. The merchant was very silly and was the star of the game in my opinion, I wish the bonus story was about him instead of the fairies. The fantasy environment in this one has been overdone in most HOGs but the characters really make up for it. Puzzles and HO scenes were all pretty easy, 100%ing the game should be pretty easy for most.

Queen’s Quest 3: The End of Dawn is a fantasy-themed hidden object adventure developed by Brave Giant LTD and published by Artifex Mundi, continuing a style of narrative-driven puzzle games that the publisher has refined over the years. Framed as the final chapter in the Queen’s Quest trilogy, the game places players in the role of Eliana, a talented alchemy student nearing the completion of her studies at the prestigious Zora Academy. What begins as a seemingly straightforward graduation trial quickly evolves into a far more personal and dangerous journey, blending magical intrigue, ancient artifacts, and buried secrets into a classically structured fantasy narrative. The gameplay adheres closely to the hidden object adventure formula, but does so with polish and a sense of abundance. Players explore a wide range of hand-painted locations, each filled with interactive hotspots, inventory-based puzzles, and detailed hidden object scenes. The environments range from enchanted forests and mystical ruins to laboratories and arcane sanctuaries, all designed with vibrant color palettes and layered visual depth. These scenes reward careful observation, as objects are often cleverly inte…

It's good.

a nice hidden object game with interesting mechanics

This game is more neutral for me but I'm rating it negative purely because it literally tells you the story (through minigames) and yet you cannot and do not do anything about it. You stick to your course as if you had skipped the games. It doesn't let you talk to your best friend, doesn't let you do the things any normal human would do, and has some of the most frustratingly annoying puzzles. It's an alright game, with an alright story and an alright overall setup, but it tries too hard to go for a shock that just isn't there because, once again, they told us this earlier. When it comes down to it, I don't particularly care. And all of that, for $15? Ha. Ha. Haha. No.

Very well done. Puzzles are simple except for a few which were beyond my meager intelligence. Scenery was beautiful and fun to look at. Hidden object games were good and somewhat varied. Overall, highly recommend.
