The Wisbey Mystery

This is a low budget HO game. It's not bad, it's not good either. It's just what to expect with these kind of eastern european releases. It's a typical old abandoned house setting, where you get access to more and more rooms. There's a very basic plot but nothing spectacular. The voice acting must be one of the lowest points in the game, completely robotic and emotionless. Fortunately, there's more emphasis on puzzle solving that solving the same HO tons of times. The HO scenes are limited and there's only a couple of them. There are some blatant typoes all over the place, they should really get a better translator. It's a short game that is enjoyable for a bit.

The Wisbey Mystery, developed by Argali Entertainment and published by RunServer, is a hidden object adventure game that immerses players in a chilling narrative set in the eerie Wisbey Manor. Released on January 18, 2017, the game presents a classic point-and-click experience where players take on the role of a detective investigating the mysterious disappearance of a journalist who was last seen delving into the unsolved murders of the sheriff and his wife. The game's premise is steeped in suspense, drawing players into a world filled with secrets and dark histories. The gameplay revolves around traditional hidden object mechanics, where players must search meticulously crafted scenes to find items that aid in progressing the story. These scenes are rich in detail, capturing the decaying grandeur of the manor and its surroundings. The puzzles are integrated seamlessly into the narrative, requiring players to think critically and observe their environment closely. While the game offers a familiar formula for fans of the genre, it does so with a level of polish that enhances the overall experience. Visually, The Wisbey Mystery employs a realistic art style that contributes to its…

Everything about this game is atrocious! Having said that, it's also quite funny. Hidden object games suffer from all sorts of issues at the best of times - poor story, items disappearing after one use that could be useful later (and usually are), names just being flat-out wrong, too much going on at once, not enough going on at once, nothing makes sense, stuff is too easy, man I could go on all day but you get the point. This game manages to do all that. Don't ask me how. It's so bad it is almost comedy gold. Characters are voiced, and they say some ridiculous things. There is some poor grammar and spelling in the game and it even shows through with the words they speak. Even the story, at its most basic level, makes no sense. Items are randomly sewn inside chairs and dolls, you have to bash a makeshift wall down with a mallet when the other side of the room is an open window - oh, but I forgot to say you had to solve puzzles just to get in the house in the first place. Oh, and there's that verandah entrance as well... *facepalm* So, having established the epileptic level of randomness this game is, the question remains... do you want to play it? Don't worry about the achie…

A very amateurish and mediocre game overall — from the voice acting to the graphics and story, nothing really stands out. There’s also a lot of frustrating backtracking that feels like it doesn’t respect the player’s time. Sadly, I can’t recommend this one. 3/10.

It's less than 90 minutes long and riddled with terrible translation errors. If you care about cards then you can idle for the rest after you beat the game. If you care about achievements, they're all on one playthrough and from the story as you play.

I picked this up cheap because...well lets skip thar. It is okay. English is obviously not the developers first language. Some translation errors made the hidden object portions a little frustrating, Leave instead of Leaf was the most noticeable. The voice acting was really bad, almost like a 2000 era AI Voice generator. The puzzle is just finding things open things other places, that if this was real would make the person insane. The story is not great. I mean it's a quick 100% completion and get some cards to boost your profile or sell, but I wouldn't bother if you can't get it under a couple bucks honestly.
