Women's Murder Club: Death in Scarlet - Detective Adventure

 

Floodlight Games has developed and I-play has published a great hidden object puzzler with a strong taste of criminal intrigues. Women's Murder Club: Death in Scarlet is a game where you get a feeling of being more than just a hidden object gamer as you are involved in all these detective things.

 

You are going to solve a murder playing as three characters - Cindy Thomas, a news reporter, Lindsey Boxer, a homicide detective, and Claire Washburn, a forensic examiner.

 

The game is created on the basis of the popular James Patterson novels and television series. The characters of the game will be familiar to you if you read the books. But don't be afraid to be disappointed with the fact that you know "the end of the story", because the murder story won't be a one of the already told ones.

 

The game passes on this atmosphere of mystery, murder, twisted stories and intrigues. As I said the characters will be familiar to you if you read the novels. Solving the crime you are going to play as three characters - Cindy Thomas, a news reporter, Lindsey Boxer, a homicide detective, and Claire Washburn, a forensic examiner. Each one of those is very good at her job.

 

The game features great productive values. The audio-visuals are very well done. You can see how hard work resulted in a high-quality product. The story of the game is interesting with new turning points and connections with general game play.

 

The game features different types of tasks including seek-and-find puzzles and different mini-games having to do with the murder you are solving.

 

The hidden object levels are not innovative - you get a list of things to find in the screen. You are not limited in time, so you don't get a penalty for random clicking. You are given 5 clues in case you get stuck. You are also given different tasks to accomplish in order to move on through the levels.

 

There are also mini-games that you are to solve with the help of the items that you gather into your inventory during the game. These games are fun but get a little bit repetitive. Some of them are done only by certain characters according to her kind of work. While the others are much more typical like jigsaw puzzles or word games.

 

The game does give a feeling of being a detective when you are to examine the victims and to do other things like that. Even though the replay value is not that high once you've solved the mystery, but the time spent on this is definitely worth it.
