From the Store description:
Time Mysteries 3: The Final Enigma is the epic finale to the time-travelling adventure series. In the face of the looming magical cataclysm, Ester Ambrose has to fight to save her future once again.
Destroying Viviana’s crystal tomb was supposed to turn Ester Ambrose’s fight against evil powers into nothing more than a distant echo of her past, a faint memory of a nightmare never to befall her again.
However, the most difficult and dangerous, but also the most fascinating, part of the story is yet to begin for the Ambrose family heiress. To save the future, she has to face the past on another journey through time and space.
As usual, I gave the game a spin:
Unlocking this is on offer for a short period of time, so be quick if this is your thing....
Aha - a bonus adventure too, if you complete the main one...
We've come a long way from 'You are standing next to a house. There is a mailbox.'! Cut scenes and animations are here in abundance - as you'd expect for a 250MB download!
Core to the game is tapping to explore a room or scene, picking up objects and using existing objects to interact with parts of the scene (e.g. using a key to unlock a door).
Happily, when you tap on something, a relevant close-up lets you see exactly what you're doing...
In this case, I've been handed a letter. Tap to accept it, then tap again to open, you get the idea...
Time Mysteries 3 plays in one of two modes - trust me, you'll want to start with the regular one, in which the places you can tap are hinted at!
Another of the gloriously drawn cut scenes....
And another - plenty here to tap on, too!
It's fair to say that hidden object games are an acquired taste - especially on a small phone screen. There's enough here over the top of the simple 'tap and find' genre, enough to turn the game into a genuine adventure. On rails, it's true, but stay on those rails and you're in a for a mystical treat.
You can grab a trial or buy the game here in the Windows Phone Store.
