One of my favorite developers, I’m always looking to see what you all come out with next and this didn’t disappoint! Thanks for making great games.

I have purchased every Mystery Caper game available and while nearly each previous game was worth the cost, this one sadly is not. It’s conversation heavy without enough action/object interaction and is entirely too short for the price. I hope the next installment aims much higher.

This has quickly become my new favorite point and click studio, and I’ll buy whatever they release. I love this game for the same reasons I loved Yestertide. The puzzles, writing, and atmosphere. The puzzles are challenging and organic to the story. This seems like it would be really difficult to pull off but they did it again. The only gripe was that I thought this was much easier than Yestertide and I was finished much faster. The writing is clever and funny, I again found myself trying every combination of actions not because I didn’t know what to do but because I wanted to see the text. Atmosphere was engaging and transporting. The lighting, the music stings, the characters, all great. Slight spoiler: I accidentally solved the sundial, but don’t know what the actual solution was.

Really enjoyed this game and all of this developer’s games. They’re well written, and the solutions make you think but are always logical. I recommend checking out Yestertide too if you liked this game, but their whole catalogue is very worth playing!

I’ve played all the Mystery Caper games, most at least twice, and they’re all excellent. That said, I think they get even better with each new release — the nav in Bested is the smoothest yet and doesn’t require excessive backtracking. The puzzles are largely intuitive while remaining challenging, which is a delicate balance that Sherban achieves consistently but refines still further here. The writing, as always, is clever, funny, and polished; the lack of distracting copy errors warms my heart. Excited to see the next installment in this universe! In the meantime, I’ll eagerly wait to forget the solutions so I can replay this one. It’s clear these games are a labor of love, and it makes them all the more enjoyable. Bonus points, too, for being so responsive in the hint forum!

I freak out every time there is a new MysteryCaper adventure! They are fun and the illustrations are amazing. I hate the adventure games that are so dark the whole way through. I am waiting anxiously for chapter 3!
