Mystery House For Mac

Mystery House is a classic murder mystery game that has you exploring various rooms in an old house. You get to interact with different characters and use your wits to discover which one of them is a criminal before it's too late.

As you start the game, you are presented with a Victorian house that seems to be abandoned, and you can use various commands to interact with the environment: talk to, look, read, open, close, examine, move, press, get, or other.

Worth mentioning is that not all actions make sense in a particular situation, so you need to use the appropriate command to get a relevant result. At the same time, if you get stuck, you can always start all over again.

Note that you can choose to commence the game with the front of the house or in the entry hall via the Mystery House Preferences. Moreover, you get to adjust the window size and change the background color to the user interface.

The point of the Mystery House game is to explore all the rooms in the house and talk with the seven characters that are also in the house with you. As you start the puzzle, you get to see the name hair color, or occupation for each of them.

However, while roaming through the house, you will find the characters dead in various rooms, so your job is to collect clues and discover which of the seven people keeps murdering the others.

To help you get around, Mystery House can keep track of all possible exits in a particular situation and updates the commands list based on your current situation.

The developers provide the game’s solution online, in a text document, but solving the puzzle on your own is a lot more rewarding.

Bottom line, Mystery House is a simple game that comes with minimalist graphics and has you interacting with the environment and collecting clues by using commands list or a limited set of actions.

The interesting part is that you must use your imagination and deductive skills to discover how you have used various objects and clues to identify the criminal roaming around the Mystery House.
