Mountain Crime: Requital

Alawar is known for their amazingly made HOGs, one of the best developers out there for this genre. This game is one of their best, aside from some of the minor flaws I'm going to mention in this review. The story is about a doctor who received a phone call from a patient who currently resides in a hotel. Once he arrived at the luxury hotel, he found it completely empty and to his surprise, the phone was ringing in his patient room, and when he answered it, someone told him 'The game has begun' After that call, the doctor heard a scream outside. He has to discover the mystery of this hotel. The artwork and details of the scenes are amazing, but once again, nothing is completely perfect as the characters design and their animation are pretty on the low-quality side. This game has lots of puzzles to solve, they vary in difficulty. You also get to choose what to answer the characters. htt

One of your patients is having an heavy health problem and you have to go to the White Wolf Hotel in order to save him. However, he's not here but the clients, all invited for the inauguration, are attacked one by one and killed. Everyone seems to be tied to an old fire that killed two children when the building was still a house for kids.... So why are you there? I must admit that I played the game in the Hidden Objects Bundle 5 in 1, that lazy as I am, I've not reviewed. Activating this game was part of making a better review of it as an stand-alone than a quick one for the bundle, because of the character limit. The trading cards are a bonus added later and so I replayed the game for them. Now, with memory refreshed, I remembered why I liked it, though the core gameplay isn't my favorite. Indeed, at first sight, you think that it's about two different stories: the death of Bill Wilt

Hello, hello! We are together for a review of another HOG again! How marvelously different and interesting, is it? No, of course it isn't. This is our millionth HOG, and after a while they all end up resembling one another. Still, Mountain Crime: Requital is one of the better ones out there, with an interesting enough scenario to establish a sense of curiosity. We here have Dr. Philip White, who receives an urgent phone call in the middle of the night, which asks him to attend a patient at the White Wolf Mountain Resort, in a really bad storm. As any self-confident wise guy with no common sense spared, he travels to middle of nowhere to attend said patient, only to find a murder-mystery. All communication and transportation is cut off, hotel guests are dropping like flies and there is a sick bastard on the loose who treats all this chaos as an elaborate game. It seems that everything is

Short version: 52% Mountain Crime’s repetitive nature and terrible voice acting hides a good idea of a murder mystery. If there were more puzzles and if the hidden object scenes would last more than 30 seconds, it could have been a really memorable hidden object game. Long version: In a secluded resort, the seemingly colourful cast of visitors slowly get killed one by one. But as our investigating protagonist gets to the bottom of the crimes, he learns that these victims are actually connected by a very old, heinous crime. Or, in other words, Mountain Crime: Requital is essentially a hidden object reimagination of Agatha Christie’s famous novel, ‘Ten Little ♥♥♥gers’ (nowadays usually called ‘And Then There Were None’), only with horrible voice acting and a rather half-hearted and lazy ending. Still, for the most part, the game is somewhat enjoyable. The puzzles are really fun and even

Mountain Crime: Requital is the first 'hidden objects game' I played. I'm very familiar with the 'point & click adventure' genre but the idea of hidden objects never appealed to me because it sounds like a pixel hunt. I have to say Mountain Crime: Requital mostly plays like a point & click adventure game: you collect items and use those on items in the game world to advance the story. Occasionally, you'll get a 'hidden object' screen in which you need to find some items but they're always hidden in plain sight, so there's no pixel hunting involved. Even then, there is a hint button. If you really can't spot that last object on the screen, it'll point it out for you. The story is a basic detective story. You're a doctor who's called to a hotel to examine a patient but when you get there, it's clear a murderer is on the loose. So you start an investigation by examining the hotel, its res

Not a bad game. Graphics are outdated and the mini game controls are a bit wonky. But for the price of $5 it's a good game to get. I remember playing this game a long time ago actually. There is a map that shows you where you have stuff still to do but no fast travel. I don't know if they ever did a follow up to this game as it leaves you hanging a bit at the end wanting to know what happened next.
