Прикольный квест. Хорошая идея, путешествия между мирами.

Nice hidden object game. I liked it. Not my favorite, but not bad.
Not the best (unpolished scenario, some far fetched enigma) but entertaining.
Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone, developed by Organic 2 Digital Studio and published by Artifex Mundi, is a hidden object adventure game that immerses players in a magical and mysterious world filled with puzzles, secrets, and enchanting visuals. The game follows Emma, a young woman who becomes concerned for her uncle Alfred after experiencing unsettling dreams about him. Upon visiting his apartment, she discovers that a portal project they had been collaborating on has inadvertently opened a gateway to a mythical realm. This sets the stage for a journey through fantastical landscapes where Emma must rescue her uncle and uncover the secrets surrounding the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. The narrative is rich with fantasy elements, combining a sense of adventure with a mysterious storyline that keeps players engaged throughout.
Gameplay in Mythic Wonders is centered on classic hidden object mechanics. Players are tasked with locating a variety of items scattered throughout intricately detailed scenes. Each area is thoughtfully designed, challenging players’ observational skills while simultaneously encouraging exploration of the environment. These hidden object segments are interspersed with logic-based puzzles and mini-games, which provide additional challenges that test problem-solving abilities. The balance of hidden object scenes and puzzles ensures that gameplay remains varied and engaging, appealing to both newcomers to the genre and experienced players seeking a casual yet rewarding adventure.
The visual presentation of the game is one of its most striking features. The hand-drawn environments are vibrant and meticulously crafted, capturing the whimsical and magical nature of the mythical world Emma explores. Character designs are expressive, and the backgrounds are rich with detail, enhancing the sense of immersion. The aesthetic choices, from color palettes to lighting effects, work together to create a visually enchanting experience that complements the game’s narrative and gameplay. The combination of lush environments and engaging art style makes exploration particularly satisfying, as players uncover hidden items and secrets within the beautifully crafted scenes.
Audio design in Mythic Wonders further enhances the experience. A melodic and atmospheric soundtrack accompanies the gameplay, creating a sense of wonder and tension that aligns with the narrative’s magical and mysterious tone. Sound effects, such as subtle environmental noises or audio cues during puzzles, help guide players and heighten engagement. The lack of intrusive or overly dramatic music allows the player to focus on the story and the discovery process, maintaining a relaxing yet immersive experience.
The Collector’s Edition of the game adds even more depth, including a bonus chapter titled “The Origins of the Guardian,” which expands on the lore of the game and provides additional puzzles and challenges. Collectible items and morphing objects throughout the game encourage players to explore thoroughly and revisit areas to uncover all secrets, adding replayability and rewarding careful observation. These features enhance the overall value of the game and provide extra content for those who enjoy fully immersing themselves in the game world.
In conclusion, Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone is a captivating hidden object adventure that combines a compelling story, intricate puzzles, and enchanting visuals. Its accessible yet engaging gameplay, paired with a richly detailed mythical world, makes it an ideal choice for players seeking a relaxing and immersive experience. Whether you are a longtime fan of hidden object games or new to the genre, the title offers a thoughtfully crafted journey full of magic, mystery, and discovery.

Đánh Đuổi Cái Ác Ở Thế Giới Phép Thuật Hấp Dẫn
Its good if u want to relax. But this and Ancient Times doesnt really have the best stories, there kind of boring.
There good for just passing time. Graphics good for this type of game, very clear and colorful and details for objects and scenery are good as well, not hard on the eyes. Has different modes or levels like the others. Each mode will get a bit harder of course. So not a bad game, its good, but Grim Legends is much much better, In my opinion :)
It's allright. Only reason I'm giving it positive score is because I enjoyed playing it and I won this game in a giveaway years ago, so I haven't payed any money for it.
But if we're to critically discuss this game, I'd say it has lots of flaws. For starters, graphics. It was made in 2016, but other hidden object / puzzle games released same year have way better graphics. Sounds are okay, but nothing incredible. One good thing is, you can choose difficulty - which other puzzle games don't usually have - to choose whether you want there to be penalty for missclicking or how often you can use hints, which I think is a good feature. Puzzles itself are not very hard, but still takes brain to solve. Game gets confusing sometimes, but I think that's individual as well. I was stuck in middle phase more than during last levels for example.
We need to keep in mind price as well when discussing game, which I think would be a little high if you're purchasing this in 2025, but you can get this game through various sites for much cheaper.
Overall, I think this game is worth trying if it's just sitting in your library and you're unsure about playing or if you manage to get it for cheap. But it's not the best, nor something you have to absolutely play. There are lots of older hidden object games as well which are much much better in every aspect.
I'd say try this game, if you are hidden object game enthusiast and want to play something closer to classic genre.
I enjoyed this one quite a lot. Beautiful places, clever puzzling, creative Hidden Object scenes... What's not to like? Definitely can't go wrong with this game.
A classic point-click hidden object game from Artifex Mundi.
The low difficulty mode is good for casually completing on a bored day.
Most of the puzzles in the game can be completed with a bit of thought and clicking the mouse, but you will feel a sense of accomplishment if you complete them in one go.
It's too expensive to buy at full price, so I recommend buying it on sale.
Mythic Wonders is a slightly above average Hidden Object Mystery that mainly involves a fun alchemy inspired tour of elemental planes. Decently fleshed out characters, nice powers and puzzles. The story beats are somewhat predictable and the main chapter is fairly short.
I have a full run of Steam Achievements, as collecting morphing objects flowed well and the challenge level was generally what I expect from the Artifex Mundi catalog.
If you like these kind of games, buy it!
9/10 Points.
It's beautiful to play to enjoy the graphics I just love it!
Good to look at interesting mini games and hidden object really enjoyed playing this game.

[h1] Вполне терпимый поиск предметов на тему Философского камня и с собиранием скрытых брелков [/h1]
То есть брелки тут необязательные, но для идеальной игры их желательно выискивать. Этому поиску может помочь руководство из немногих сопутствующих. В остальном же уровни вполне обширные и доступно несколько эпох для изучения, т.к. здесь героине предстоит путешествовать сквозь время для сбора компонентов. Все достижения можно получить за прохождение основной и дополнительной глав. Обе по своему насыщены и дополнительная по традиции довольно короткая. Даже при неспешной игре прохождение займёт от силы 3 часа, что немного маловато для выбивания всех карточек - тут нужно 4,2 часа.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391657155
Из стимовских плюшек стандартный набор. Игра занимает места около гигабайта. Каких-то особых затупов при игре не было и всё в целом прошлось быстро. Оформление красивое, музыка приятная. Вот только все игры издательства прилично так подорожали... Впрочем, в бандлах ещё можно найти нормальную скидку на распродажах.
A pretty good Artifex Mundi hidden object game.
This is a favourite! There are no bells and whistles just original HOPs and sometimes challenging but all achievable puzzles.
It's the music and exquisite, hand painted scenes that make this a beautiful and relaxing game.
Recommend for when you need some downtime.
I have played a ton of HOG games, and I have to count this one among my top favourites. The realms which you visit are extraordinary and filled with lush details from mythology to astrology. The puzzles are just the right level of complex, even the ones which involve some math (and I usually skip those). I enjoyed the story too, and the bonus level added a little extra to the narrative. Highly recommended! ^-^
I enjoyed this game very much! Would recommend it for everyone.
I like this game to play with my 88 yr old mom. Its a good game to solve the puzzles together and has beautiful landscapes. Slow burn good for people who like solving puzzles and you can take your time and not feel rushed. Relaxing.
Game is not too hard and has really beautiful backgrounds. There might be a bunch of items you collect all over the place... But it's not overwhelming. H.O. scenes are pretty spot on too. No crazily hidden anything! There is one in a Bonus Game that has all the objects that you need to find -> gem encrusted. They are all so shiny and pretty too! Especially the cute tiny lil ones... Like the turtle!
Story 's not bad. Only problem for me were the Mini-Games (when are they not?). I am talking about the ones that have you do math. Thanks a lot. I can now be relaxed with some brain pain. But even so... You got me with that damn light puzzle. >.> WAH! I thought you had to connect ALL THE MIRRORS! Anyway.
Not too bad. Had fun. Got to where I needed to go... Wonderful.
Thank you! :3 :) =)
其实还算不错，玩法上设置多样化，只是我个人不太喜欢部分画面风格
[h1]🎮 [u]Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone[/u] 🎮 [/h1]
Ein älteres Wimmelbildadventure aus der Feder von [url=https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/artifexmundi]Artifex Mundi[/url], die meiner Meinung nach die besten Spiele dieses Genres produzierten. Jedes ihrer Spiele hat eine ansprechende und spannende Fantasy-Story; so auch hier. Emma sucht hier ihren verschwundenen Onkel, betritt ein mysteriöses Portal und muss, um den Onkel zu finden, verschiedene Elemente sammeln. Dabei stellen sich ihr Allerlei mystische Kreaturen in den Weg und es gilt in Wimmelbildern versteckte und benötigte Gegenstände zu finden. Wahlweise geht das ganze von leicht bis schwer.
Unterbrochen werden die detaillierten Darstellungen dann auch gerne mal von kleinen Zwischensequenzen, bei denen sich Artifex Mundi im Vergleich zu anderen Publisheren große Mühe gibt. So ist dann auch die Vertonung angenehm, nicht nur während des eigentlichen Spiels. Das löst dann auch meine Begeisterung aus, denn so entsteht ein immersiveres Spielgefühl als wenn man nur wie blöd durch die Gegend klickt. Die Spielzeit ist mit circa vier Stunden als durchschnittlich einzuordnen und mit dem Bonusinhalt gibt es 24 Errungenschaften.
Das Spiel kam 2016 auf den Markt und ist folglich schon älter. Man muss folglich keinen Vollpreis zahlen und zum Zeitpunkt der Rezension gäbe es 70% Rabatt, sodass man 4,43 Euro zahlen müsste. Einen Euro je Spielstunde ist mehr als fair und von mir eine klare Empfehlung.
[i]Wenn ihr an weiteren Rezensionen von mir interessiert seid oder meine Arbeit unterstützen wollt, dann folgt meiner [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ger_steam]Gruppe[/url] und/oder der [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/875292/]Kuration[/url][/i].
[u]Recommendation[/u]: A decent hidden object game that avoids most of the pitfalls present in many previous Artifex Mundi games.
[u]Critique[/u]: This game should be called "Mythic Wonders: Something is Missing Here" instead, because you will [i]constantly[/i] get the message "Something is missing here" throughout the game (I'm not kidding - if you see this message much fewer than 50 times in the game, I'll be very much surprised).
Does this have a completely bonkers story?
Yes. (But it's entertaining.)
Does it have howlingly bad CGI for the cut scenes?
Absolutely. (But it's better than a lot of the others.)
Does it have illogical solutions to puzzles that ignore other items that would work better in your inventory?
Sure. (But they're very, very consistent AND sometimes you will actually [i]keep a tool[/i] to use again later!!!!)
There are some irritating things that are blissfully absent in this game:
- there's no instances of the wrong word being used to describe an object
- there's no coin being used as a screwdriver (amazing!!!)
- there's no alternative minigame requiring you play through the game a second time to get all the achievements
- there isn't a huge list of alternative hidden objects that you have to find to accomplish secondary objectives (sadly, there ARE morphing items that you have to find, but they're very obvious, and there's only a few of them)
- nobody is kidnapped or held hostage
Most astonishing of all, I don't think there are any crows in this game. Is this a first for Artifex Mundi???!?
What this means is that you have a fairly run-of-the-mill hidden object game that feels just slightly better than others, because of a bunch of little quality of life improvements. Instead of a buddy that helps you fetch items you can't reach (as in so many previous games), in [u]Mythic Wonders[/u], you get a magical device that allows you to alter your environment to reveal objects you couldn't access otherwise. Mechanically, it's almost the same, but narratively, I like it a lot better.
[u]Review[/u]: You play as Emma, a young woman in 1930s Europe who has been helping her uncle with constructing a contraption. She's gone home, but as the game begins, she is returning to rejoin her uncle in the laboratory. [spoiler]Upon arrival, she finds that her uncle has completed the construction of the portal and has gone through it. A guardian spirit appears to waylay her throughout her journey to be reunited with her family member. This journey takes her to different elemental realms where she must both:
- reassemble devices to power up the portals in each of these worlds so she can leave
- find and assimilate the elemental essence of that realm into a device called "the Philosopher's Stone"
As the story continues, it becomes clear that her uncle is a bad guy who desires the ability of the Philosopher's Stone to control the elements for his own selfish purposes. But it requires someone "pure of heart" to assemble it, so that's where Emma comes in. The spirit guardian (as we discover in the Bonus Chapter prologue to the main game) was actually created by their ancestors to prevent the Philosopher's Stone from ever being reassembled. In the end, Emma completes the Philosopher's Stone, the guardian banishes her uncle, and she relinquishes the artifact to the guardian once more.[/spoiler]
For a Hidden Object game, this one was actually quite good. Definitely a bit cheesy at times, like most HOG but it had substance, and was interesting. It does take a lot of inspiration from other popular ideas (totally not a Stargate) but that just makes for great personal humorous commentary.
This is more family friendly than other Hidden Object games, its not too spooky and has very little violence if any, and is more of an adventure to find your uncle.
很精美的解谜游戏。难度适中。流程大概5小时左右，为了全成就玩了2周目。除了女主角配音棒读之外没别的毛病👍
jako ušlo to, nebylo to výborné, ale ani špatné, 75%
It's marginally ok. More simplistic than others I've played. The voice acting is embarrassingly bad.
Sehr schönes Wimmelbildspiel, kann man auch gut mit Kindern > 8J. zusammen spielen. Trainiert auch das Lesen des Kindes.
Mit Maus und 55" TV perfekt für einen schönen gemeinsamen Rätselabend.
Läuft perfekt auf dem Steamdeck (Bluetooth-Maus & TV).
Es macht Spaß. Die Handlung und Umgebung ist sehr toll. Einfach klasse.
Excellent!
Very good old school HOPA. HIdden object scenes not cluttered, but interactive and lovely. Puzzle are easy and the adventure predictable, yet was an engaging game. Extremely relaxing. Loved it!
oui mais! Il faut aimer passer 80 pour cent du jeu sans avoir d'interaction ou d'aide.
Je me permet de mettre oui parce qu'il y a pire sur Artifex, mais pour un jeu de 2016,ce n'est vraiment pas le top... Pour un premier jeu,penser à autre cxhose,en tout cas
I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
I love it! I recommend this game to anyone who love hidden object puzzle adventure games :D
Eh, it was ok, ez to 100%, fast to 100%, the story? are Laughable...bad, THE CGI? Don't think about it
*
Also, i kinda like the way they implement the "Mini-games" this time around, it's much easier and not so annoying n irritating in the other ones, also the "implementation of an Artifact" are a great tiny mini game

Hat mir mehr Spaß gemacht, als mein letztes Spiel vom gleichen Entwickler. Läuft flüssig, nette Fantasiewelten, viele Rätsel... Bei einem bin ich mir allerdings nicht sicher, ob ich einfach zu blöd gewesen bin, oder ob es unlösbar ist (das mit dem Würfel und den bunten Farben).
Enthält auch ein Bonuskapitel.
Хорошая игра в своем жанре.
Sehr schöne Bilder, wie immer ;)
For reviews of Artifex Mundi hidden object games, I like to compare them to other games in their publishing line, assuming the reader knows as to what hidden object games are.
Emma wakes up from a scary dream: mysterious creature threatens her uncle Alfred. She feels that something bad just happened and it puzzles her… Enter the mythical portal and search for your missing uncle in the new hidden object adventure game! A hidden object adventure game from the creators of Enigmatis!
Roaming through the areas this mythical setting has to offer, 60 beautiful hand painted locations have to be discovered, 48 puzzles & 21 hidden object games have to be completed. Accompanied with a captivating background story, all set in this wonderful setting.
Art style of the game is overall cartoony, compared to other AM HOG. With chaotic, somewhat more blended backgrounds. All lot of variation is implemented throughout the entire game, with the backgrounds being beautiful enough to blend the game to a whole experience. Storywise, the game is divided up into chapters, quite a must, because this is a fairly longer HOG. Hence, a great part of backtracing between several areas is required.
The ambient sound effects and background music blend in seamlessly with the graphics and gameplay, and add to the enjoyment. Background music is repetitive, however. Whereas all dialogue is spoken. Animations are present in a more simplistic, static manner, but the lipping of the characters is done in a better way than previous AM installments. There were some background music issues, where the music stopped playing unintentionally.
There are a lot of standard hidden object scenes, with occasionally some combination objects in them, pretty standard as in previous AM games. Interactible objects found in the backgrounds are somewhat difficult to find and can be missed, since they have an achievement attached to them, beware achievement hunters. With the minigames being more on the easy side. Some of the games were ridiculously unlogical however.
There is a bonus chapter included as well, which is required to play to unlock all the achievements. The gameis, with only one playthrough required, base game and bonus chapter, to achieve a perfect game, excellently suited for achievement hunters. Four achievements are particularly easy to miss out on, a morphing objects collection one, the final battle with the endboss and two difficulty related ones. If you are gunning for a perfect game on the first playthrough, I recommend consulting a guide beforehand though, to make sure you do not miss out on the collection achievement. But the game can be perfected in one playthrough without using a guide easily. 24 achievements have to be unlocked to get a perfect game, easily done under 12 hours or less.
Overall, Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher’s Stone, is a lower difficulty, rather un-linear, longer edition, compared to other installments of the Artifex Mundi publisher line. Developers “Organic 2 Digital Studio” created a somewhat typical HOG, with lots of hidden object scenes, and some hidden objects integrated in the backgrounds.
Recommended for: hidden object game lovers, achievement hunters & casual gamers.
Cheers,

預告動畫看到那個穿越的圓環，就讓我聯想到1994年的電影：《星際奇兵（Stargate）》
然後我很喜歡那個拚密碼的排序邏輯遊戲。
之前在手机上就玩过密室逃脱系列，那是我玩过最为优秀的手机游戏。。。这部很像，但是剧情和难度远远比不上密室逃脱
Nun hier muss ich sagen die Rätzel waren zu einfach fand ich, selbst die Wimmelbilder waren Easy aber es hat machte Spaß es durch zu spielen, das einzige was ich schade fand ist das, das Bonus Level keine 10 min gedauert hat.
省流，am厂的，3内闭着眼入吧。
202211下，t a o宝，支付宝红包，杉果，本平台，本平台充值折扣掉卡，indie gala，fanatical，humble，daily indie game，loot boy，它处自定义包入的本体约3元。爱人如己，目前就这，看以后追评。有中文的游戏请耐心自研体验乐趣，攻略指南尽量不用。不建议使用外挂，插件，作弊之类的，游戏都要这样搞，那现实里那更是如此了。兄弟萌，强烈建议不要第三方平台的小店买y u额，通过饰品等挂steam市场转的，高概率red信乃至封号，且行且珍惜。
prachtige spel
Kolejny HOG od Artifexu (a przynajmniej przez niego wydany) - to dalej "to samo". Jak podobały się poprzednie gry, to ta też podejdzie.
Z różnic: muzyka się wybija pozytywnie na tle innych gier. A zagadki... z jednej strony, poza paroma standardowymi powtórkami, czasem nawet nie są takie trywialne jak zwykle, więc fajnie. Inna sprawa, że też czasem bez podpowiedzi nie dostaniemy nawet sugestii CO trzeba w ogóle zrobić, więc można się zaciąć. W sumie miła odmiana, choć może przesadzili momentami.
some of the puzzles are really difficult and the game telling you how to do them is kind of vague? to me... it's decent enough but i've played better and friendlier hidden object games :(
Very tedious and no balance in the puzzles.
Man erwartet ja nicht viel bei einem Wimmelspiel. Bei diesem Spiel wurden meine Erwartungen erfüllt.
This is not the best hidden object game out there but not a bad one, if Steam allows us to add a neutral rating this would easily fit in that category. You play Emma who had a nightmare about her uncle Alfred. Being worried about him she decided to call him in the middle of the night but he didn't answer, naturally, she drove to his home and unfortunately, he was not there and the time-traveling portal seemed to be activated. The only good thing about this game is that all the dialogues are voiced.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1197887021
The graphics are a bit dated but still good to look at, and the voice-overs are nice. during the journey, you can check the journal to learn more about the story. The puzzles are good some of them are unique. The hidden objects scenes varies between finding x amount of something or finding a list of items.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1202735528
Nothing is bad with the soundtrack but it is a bit underwhelmed, kind of repetitive. If you are HOGs lover I'd say keep this one to the last when you don't have anything else to play.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1197903949
Pros:
+Good graphics.
+Fast traveling map.
+Good useful journal keeps track of the story.
+Ok soundtrack.
+Good voice acting.
+Collectibles.
+Steam achievements.
Cons:
-Average story
-No replay value.
The bonus chapter is full of unique puzzles. As what I mentioned I'd give this game a neutral rate and can't recommend it, play it only if you get it in a bundle.

这一作一般般吧，是跟什么水界火界人界气流界啥的有关系，好像自己的舅舅最后是坏的啥的，中间有暴龙飞马啥的，对这种题材的反正不太懂。续章也差不多
Fatico a comprendere l'entusiasmo che vedo dagli altri commenti nei confronti di questo gioco. La trama è abbastanza piatta e non offre molti spunti per voler andare avanti, oltretutto i frammenti dei retroscena sono inseriti piuttosto male, tanto che non si ha la più pallida idea di cosa sta succedendo per buona parte del gioco. C'è da dire che dedicare un mondo ad ogni elemento è un'idea abbastanza carina, anche se non nuova, e tutto sommato realizzata abbastanza bene.
Purtroppo la giocabilità è minata da una scelta grafica piuttosto discutibile. Molti oggetti, infatti, si confondono con lo scenario e faticherete non poco per capire la loro ubicazione e la necessità di raccoglierli. Tale problema ovviamente si accentua nelle scene di oggetti nascosti, tanto che alla fine si è quasi invogliati a cliccare sullo schermo a casaccio, visto che molti oggetti sono quasi invisibili.
Per completare questo quadro non molto incoraggiante c'è la ciliegina sulla torta della traduzione italiana, una delle peggiori che abbia mai visto. Nemmeno Google translator avrebbe prodotto qualcosa di così aberrante. Sembra fatta da qualcuno che non avesse la minima idea di cosa sia la lingua italiana e si sia sforzato di tradurre tutto letteralmente con un dizionario alla mano, oltretutto nemmeno consultandolo bene.
Insomma, un gioco veramente brutto, non al punto da essere ingiocabile, per carità, ma sinceramente c'è di molto meglio in giro per gli appassionati del genere.
虽然画面和剧情都一般，但还挺好玩的
pain
Good puzzle game with clear instructions, helpful info screens and a progression that's not too quick or too slow.
I recommend this game to anyone who likes fantasy style puzzle games that are doable without needing to get frustrated,
норм
Очень стоящая игра: увлекательное повествование, красивое оформление, выдержанный стиль, головоломки разной сложности. Гармоничный интерфейс игры, взаимодействия с предметами интуитивно понятны. На мой взгляд сделана гораздо лучше некоторых последующих игр этой серии. Время на нее было потрачено не зря, как минимум из эстетического удовольствия) Хотелось бы побольше игр такого уровня.
Oyunu bitirmiş bulunuyorum oyun facebooktan bilenler bilir criminal minds adında bir oyun vardı aynı onun gibi oynama şekli fakat burda amaç karakterimiz ile ipuçlarını takip edip bunu en doğru şekilde uygulamaya çalışmak gerçekten kafanızı kullanmanız gereken puzzlelar var o yüzden öneririm
nice enough game, good art and puzzles
Good hidden picture game
Good hidden object game with the typical find something to use elsewhere logic on a few screens. Story is ok-ish, but storytelling has never been a strength of these games. I was here for the laid back puzzles and the progression flow. Worked fine for me.
剧情简单 玩法规规矩矩 ，还是比较喜欢AM自家的作品 这个可以打折买来kill time
还有封面女主不是红发吗 怎么游戏里变黑发了（
Solides HO Game. Rätsel nicht all zu schwer, Grafik in Ordnung.
Standard Artifex Mundi HOG: overpriced except when on sale, but works well as a casual timekiller. Of note, this one actually had some challenging HO scenes and you'll need the Info button to figure out what you're supposed to do with a few puzzles.
As usual, my comments below are relative to the typical quality level of HOGs, not AAA games.
[h1]The Good[/h1]
+Multiple difficulties
+Colorful, well-animated and rather detailed
+Save anywhere with multiple player profiles
+Hints and puzzle skips available
+Map with points of interest is nice
+Journal holds pictures of clues
+In-game achievement tracker
+Bonus chapter
[h1]YMMV[/h1]
~Voice acting is occasionally cringey, even for a HOG
~Morphing charms achievement is easily missable
~One particular document had a bunch of typos
~Many items are indistinguishable from detailed backgrounds
~A few unclear puzzles
~Roughly 4 hours of playtime. Less if you play on Normal difficulty, where the game treats you like a complete cretin, pointing out all the items you didn't select in less than a minute.
[h1]The Bad[/h1]
-A few pictorial HO lists are hard to interpret (the valve one comes to mind)
-"Goes before" does not necessarily mean "immediately precedes"
This HOG was all right but definitely has its fair share of flaws.
Story: 3/5
The basic concept is intriguing: Find your uncle by traveling to different worlds using a series of magic portals. Each world had its own theme: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Aether. I think Air may have been the most striking because of all the tinted glass, in my opinion.
I was enjoying visiting each world but it did grow stale after a while. Each world got larger and required more tasks to complete, but it felt monotonous after a while. The final battle is also way too easy, and the ending feels rushed. Lastly, the Guardian was terrible at his job because he made weak threats and put obstacles in my way that weren't challenging to overcome.
Graphics: 3.5/5
The visuals in this game are a mixed bag: Character designs and animations are great but they don't move their mouths when talking. Each world has its own theme and is quite detailed, but the quality seemed lower than that of other games I've played. Some parts of areas in the beginning were rather bland while others were quite lovely and vibrant. Pretty much all the cut scene animations were blurry. I mean, the game still looks relatively good, but the quality is definitely not up to par with what I'm used to seeing in these games -- and this one isn't even that old.
Music: 3.5/5
It's pretty, and each world has its own fitting music, but most of it is generic. I like it but just don't find it to be all that memorable.
Voice Acting: 2/5
Quite bad, honestly. The main character sounds so wooden whenever she speaks. The only character with decent voice acting was the Guardian -- but even he still could have been better. The bad voice acting may have had a lot to do with my growing disinterest with the story the more I progressed.
Hidden Object Puzzles: 4.5/5
There was a mix of the standard "find items from the list" scenes, but also some where you had to find all instances of a particular item or finding items based on images in a list as opposed to words. Nothing ground-breaking but the variety was appreciated. My only complaint is that some of the HOG scenes were a little blurry in some spots.
Other Puzzles: 3.5/5
Not bad for the most part. Some were fun, such as untangling octopus tentacles (how stretchy!) and deciphering the correct order of runes for each portal based on abstract clues. But others were annoying or just plain ridiculous. Like, trying to fly the air ship in the Wind World was very confusing and frustrating. I couldn't figure out the "method," which is normally an easy enough tasks in other games with something similar.
Overall rating: 67%
It's worth playing for the hidden object scenes and the unique worlds you visit, but I'd definitely wait until it's on sale.
So, this is a weird one to write. Mostly, I don't have an issue with the game. I found it to be charming and vaguely reminiscent of Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond. The different worlds were all fine, the hidden object games actually have some quality of life improvements to them I wish the rest of the games had; if you're picking one of the compound hidden objects, like say there's a message in a bottle and you need to break the bottle open to get it, in this game, when you use the hammer, it automatically collects the message instead of making you do the extra step of clicking again. I appreciated that.
There are collectibles and a bonus adventure too, and a lot of those sounds an animations were very well done.
Mostly my gripe with this is, several of the puzzles were broken / followed no logic, and the collectibles were all transforming objects but a lot of them never transformed to indicate they were collectibles. These were both annoying. The puzzles, not all of them were broken, but for example there's a puzzle to bounce around colored beams of light. The light travels through these 'L' and 'T' shaped junctions. Sometimes passing the light beam through it would make it come out all of the other sides of that junction, and sometimes it just didn't... No clear reason as to why, and it really upsets me when games have puzzles and they puzzles don't follow consistent logic. There were a few other ones that didn't seem to work very well or ones that seemed to require outside information not found in the game to complete. I also use a tablet, so having to play on expert difficulty for one of the achievements I also didn't like. It hides the hidden object puzzle prompts that I can't use a cursor to find, since on a tablet, there is no cursor unless you use the trackpad.
So, you might have better luck if you don't mind skipping some sections and don't mind not getting achievements, but if not, this might bother you too.
przyjemne zagadki dla każdego :)
Great and relaxing puzzle game!
great game & for the cost as well
A good hidden object game that is animated and voice acted.
Graphics have appropriate quality: the locations are well-designed and detailed, the animations are fine.
Sounds and music are surprisingly great with the exception of a few cartoony sound effects. The quality of the voice acting is OK.
The story is average: it has no significant plot points and ends with a generic twist.
The use of the map is essential as there is a significant amount of backtracking.
There is only one set of collectibles (morphing objects) but luckily they are relatively easy to find.
The bonus story is also a fine addition that gives some explanation about the guardian.
Nice game with a good story, Easy and relaxing, although some minor pixel hunting needed.
什么SB中文翻译，村庄日记这个成就，说是使用跳过全部小游戏，然后我花三小时一个小游戏都没完成，结果成就没跳，差了下英文原文是without using the skip option，不使用跳过功能完成全部小游戏，最重要的without没给翻译出来，气死我了，这个差评必须给翻译！！！！
I tend to enjoy these relaxing hidden object games because they're one of the few games that both my daughter and I can enjoy. While tame, my daughter was still scared a bit by the story and some of the effects. She was 4 when we played this though.
The puzzles were about average for what I'd expect for a hidden object game like this. Nothing memorable, but worth playing if you enjoy these types of games like I do.
It's not a boring story at all it's kinda wild, where they have mermaids then dragons and somewhere you end up in space.
[h1] Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone [/h1]
Casual game of 2016.
Enter the mythical portal and search for your missing uncle in this new hidden object adventure!
60 beautiful, hand-painted locations!
48 puzzles and 21 hidden object puzzles that match the storyline!
As Emma, will you be able to survive against mysterious creatures and deadly puzzles? As a detective, will you find your uncle and the mysterious Philosopher's Stone?
Pretty hard designed, but at least you can skip the minigames. There is also a help. Otherwise a rather average game. The story is also well constructed, but not badly done. Highly recommended for adventure lovers with expanded brain activity.

[h1] Mythic Wonders: The Philosopher's Stone [/h1]
Gelegenheitsspiel von 2016.
Betritt das mythische Portal und suche in diesem neuen Suchbild-Abenteuer nach deinem verschwundenen Onkel!
60 wunderschöne, handgemalte Orte!
48 Puzzles und 21 Suchbilder, die zur Storyline passen!
Wirst du als Emma gegen mysteriöse Kreaturen und tödliche Puzzles bestehen können? Wirst du als Detektiv deinen Onkel und den geheimnisvollen Stein der Weisen finden?
Ziemlich schwer gestaltet, aber zumindest kannst du die Minigames überspringen. Es gibt auch eine Hilfe. Ansonsten ein eher Durchschnittliches Game. Auch die Geschichte ist stark konstruiert, aber nicht schlecht gemacht. Für Abenteuerfreunde mit erweiterter Hirntätigkeit durchaus empfohlen.

[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Hidden Object Adventure
[h1] Story [/h1] Unser Onkel ist durch ein Portal gegangen und ist nun dort gefangen. Wir erhalten eine Nachricht von ihm und gehen ihm nach um ihn zu retten
[h1] Gameplay [/h1] Genre typisch sammeln wir wieder allerhand Gegenstände, lösen verschiedene Wimmelbildszenen & Minirätsel. Die Wimmelbildszenen sind sehr Abwechslungsreich, heisst manchmal gibt es die klassische Gegenstands Namen Liste wo wir dann die Gegenstände dem entsprechend finden müssen und zwischendurch müssen wir z.B. 12 Flaschen usw, finden. Das fand ich eine schöne Abwechslung. Die Minispiele waren ebenfalls sehr gut. Einige waren aber auch eher knifflig, wo man schon etwas überlegen musste. Musik ist völlig OK und Voice Acting war gar nichtmal so schlimm wie man es sonst so kennt
[h1] Achievements [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 24 Erfolge. Die meisten sind Story basierend und somit nicht verpassbar. Für die anderen muss man u.a. das Bonus Kapitel beenden, alle Wimmelbildszenen & Minirätsel lösen ohne Übersrpingen oder Tipps zu verwenden (nur im Hauptspiel) sowie 3 Gegenstände in 3 Sekunden finden & jeweils 1 Rätsel und 1 Wimmelbild unter 1 Minute lösen, das übliche halt
[h1] Pro/Contra [/h1]
+ Story OK
+ Musik OK
+ Abwechslungsreiche Wimmelbildszenen
+ Minispiele sind auch ganz ordentlich
+ Bonus Kapitel
+ Achievements
+ Sammelkarten
[h1] Fazit [/h1] Nicht das beste aus dem Hause Artifex Mundi aber auf keinen Fall schlecht zu bewerten. Wimmelbild Fans kommen voll auf ihre Kosten. Von mir gibt es eine eindeutige Kauf Empfehlung an Fans des Genres

This was a fun game. The levels aren't too long and the puzzles do vary in difficulty. Some are very easy, others are moderate and some were quite tricky for me to where I had to click 'skip'. The story is interesting with voice acting that isn't horrible but at points I did smile at how it sometimes sounded like there wasn't much try. I will warn there was at least 2 or 3 spots where there was a front and center, decent sized arachnids so warning for arachnophobia people.
开飞船那里不想让人过就直说，左右箭头复原还有延时，等恢复就直接撞过去重来了，这应该不是我的问题吧
An enjoyable HOG. I enjoyed the story--the music and voices are good--and the artwork is well done. The HO scenes are fairly clever, as are the puzzles (I played some and skipped some). A decent game for sure!
relax and beautiful
I have played countless adventure games throughout the years, but never played any games from this company. For me it ranked pretty high on my list of favorites. It was relaxing but challenging in parts. I'm am particularly a lover of brain taxing puzzles and this game offered them in part. I'd recommend this game to those who are just starting their journey through the realms of adventure games. It will not disappoint.
me gusto entretenido
zeer leuk spel
Tajemniczy portal otwierający drogę do świata żywiołów oraz niespodziewane zniknięcie wuja. Takie problemy spotkają naszą bohaterkę, której różne ukryte przedmioty i sprytne łamigłówki pomogą rozwiązać tę sprawę. Polecam :)

A mysterious portal that opens the way to the world of the elements, and the unexpected disappearance of her uncle. Such problems will have our character, whose various hidden objects and clever puzzles help to solve that case. I recommend:)
So, ich habe ja schon viele Wimmelbildspiele gespielt.
Und das hier ist einer meiner absoluten Favoriten.
Okay, die Story ist absolut banal und mehr eine Ausrede, warum man jetzt durch die verschiedenen Welten reist.
Aber die haben wir wirklich gut gefallen, und sind auch sehr schön gestaltet, vor allem die Unterwasserstadt und die letzte Welt.
Die Musik ist auch sehr angenehm und sehr ruhig. Leider kann man sie im Menü nicht abspeichern.
Aber es ist wirklich gut. Im Sale gut zu empfehlen.
In diesen Welten würde ich auch Urlaub machen.
What to be expected from an Artifex Mundi hidden objects game. The mini-games and puzzles are varied. The story is entirely perfunctory, just a series of fetching quests.
6/10
A game for lovers of mystery and mysticism. I love Artifex Mundi and their style. I've been looking for games that carry the same sense of mystery as the Myst series. I was not disappointed with The Philosopher's Stone. Great work, guys!
This is just not a good HO game. The graphics are very poor, the voice acting is atrocious and the overall mechanics are outdated . There are way better games out there in the genre
Weird and interesting story, good but not the best mechanics, good but not the best artwork.
This one is among the better Artifex Mundi hidden object games, with marvelous interesting scenarios, and very imaginative story... it's just that among all other Artifex Mundi hidden object games I've played so far, this one has some tiny issues regarding specificity of items to be used in certain parts, a few hidden objects that are either deceptive (a word that might mean one thing in the pile or the other) or a little too well hidden (almost entirely behind something else), plus that thing that you use a tool, it disappears, then another scenario pops up where the tool would work perfectly for it, but you have to go look for it again.
Hard not to end up with stuff like this when you have a limited set of stuff to work with and a long gameplay to go through, but again, very minor issues in a game that is very well made and among the best ones from the publisher.
So... recommended! Enjoyed thoroughly.
good
yuhh
Juego de objetos ocultos perteneciente a la "clase B" de Artifex. Digo esto porque a veces parece haber mucha diferencia entre unos juegos y otros de esta desarrolladora, como si se encargara un estudio más amateur o le dedicaran menos recursos al juego por algún motivo (por ejemplo, sacar juegos sin ton ni son, con la calidad adecuada).
La entrega que ahora nos ocupa es corta, con puzzles no demasiado complicados (dinámicas ya repetidas en otras entregas hasta la saciedad como anillos circunvalados que tienes que girar y ordenar o el ya clásico de separar las cuerdas para que no se crucen), unos gráficos terribles (sé que no es lo principal en este estilo de juegos, pero cuando hacen daño a la vista...) y un argumento bastante flojo.
El juego no dura demasiado, aunque por contra, el capítulo bonus sí que tiene más duración de la acostumbrada y, curiosamente, bastantes logros (creo que es la primera vez que me encuentro eso en un juego de estos). Los logros no son difíciles de obtener.
En resumen, una entrega que pasa sin pena ni gloria y que te puedes ahorrar aun siendo fan de este tipo de juegos.
