Summary
Mystery House pioneered the graphic adventure game genre on the Apple II back in the 1980s. Lovingly recreated in all its hand-drawn glory, the iPhone version is faithful to the original experience.
Winning is quite a challenge in a game where it may take hours to move and weeks to solve a puzzle. Mystery House takes place in an old house with many rooms. As you enter the house, seven other persons will be in the living room. Eventually they are dispersed throughout the house and you start finding them — dead! You must find the killer before he (she?) ends up killing you.
“Seriously addictive! I really enjoyed it,” commented one of the game testers.
