Crime Secrets: Crimson Lily

Crime Secrets: Crimson Lily (IHOG) Access the options via the 'More' button on the main menu. Options include separate sliders for Music, Sound and Voice overs, plus Custom Cursor, Full-screen and HD Mode. There are four difficulties to choose from: Casual, Advanced, Expert and Custom, plus we have a jump-to MAP and a totally useless diary. Let me say right off the bat to keep an eye out for snowflakes and...

First Steam game of developer One More Level. The story is fine, graphics most time are okay (a few times good, a few times could it be sharper/ better), sound is good, game length could be longer, could have a few more steam acheivements (find 3 things in 3-5 seconds, beat HOS under 1 min, with less than 4 mistakes, after 50 % done, minigames too, expert mode), but i am really fine with it, thats only a small...

It's pretty rare to see two Artifex Mundi in the upcoming list and to see a game released two weeks before the Steam scheduled one. However, I was waiting for Crime Secrets as it was previewed on All About Casual Game. And you're used to me being a huge fan of Artifex Mundi's catalogue, so I'm buying these games pretty quickly, as the studio is also doing interesting discounts. In Crime Secrets, you're a private...

This was an okay hidden-object game. The HOG scenes and puzzles were a bit on the easy side; I played through the entire game in a single 4-hour play-through.

Everyone is the bad guy: the...

Very short and quite bland casual adventure game. While most of Artifex Mundi's published games get a bonus chapter (that most of the time isn't excellent, but at least adds a bit more content), Crime Secrets: Crimson Lily doesn't have one. The main game is about two hours long which isn't much for this kind of game. The presentation is okay. While the quality of the graphics is a bit lacking, the animation is...

Short version: 68% Crime Secrets has a good enough crime story for a casual game, but it struggles to provide meaningful content beyond some hidden object scenes and the most simplistic point ‘n’ click mechanics. Long version: I’ll be honest: if a hidden object game made in 2016 starts with a scene where a private investigator’s car crashes at a remote location, I cannot help but start being rather sceptical...
