Awfully forgettable game with very little substance. The main character is bland, the antagonist is cliche, and you'll feel nothing for any of these characters.

The graphics are okay but the story is again, cliche. Rich family isn't rich anymore so a shady dude uses their family bank to stay afloat.

The important part is the puzzles. Unfortunately, they were mediocre. More mini games than hidden object. The only puzzles that stick in my memory are the two that were frustrating. The information tips to solve the puzzles without a hint were written vaguely. It'll take you a minute just to figure out what it wants you to do. Shame the game was disappointing because it was one of the few HO games that wasn't fantasy.

funniest shit i have ever seen. it's so bad that it’s good

Artifex Mundi is at it's bizarre best when it leaves the world of fantasy and magic and tries to ground things in reality. Because their version of reality is very weird. Family Mysteries is my favorite series they have produced so far.
