Mystery Case Files: Huntsville - the First Night of the Detective Puzzle

The first feature that captures your eyes about MCF immediately after you start the game is its retro flavor delivered in the in game graphics. As you start the game and proceed to the case study, you will get the flavor of the detective novel that was a cutting edge thing a century ago. Retro-style graphics along with the original and unexpected sounds of a detective movie give a solid look to the game.

As you work on each of the 19 crime scenes, your point is to find the tiny and cleverly hidden items listed at the right-hand side of the playfield.

The game plot takes you to the small Middle West town of Huntsville in the beginning of the XX century, where some very weird crimes have been taking place.

You are appointed to solve the crimes and eventually track down the criminal.

19 levels may not seem to be enough for the modern puzzle players.

But let me assure you that you will have to sleuth through every corner in Huntsville, starting from a bookstore and ending up at a cemetery:). The list of clues to be found is given on the right-hand side of the game.

In the future, you may want to go back to the crime scenes that you have already solved, and solve them again.

You will be offered a new list of clues to find, which is definitely a great job of developers who cared to deliver the diversified puzzle experience to players.

As you have collected enough clues, your mission is to go to the crime computer and solve the puzzle there. This is going to be a classical mosaic puzzle. You are to restore the picture out of smaller pieces.
