Mystery Trackers: Forgotten Voices by LynxMinx
Normally in this series you play from the perspective of Agent Brown. However in this instance, you play from the three separate perspectives (as in Detectives United) of rookie agents, all named fittingly after colors (Black, Slate, and Ginger.) In addition, you were able to use time-travel as you would do in Grim Tales. So features from the different detective series were combined. The graphics were better than usual, and the gameplay was a decent length. It wasn’t as short as some people thought; when you enjoy a game it moves more quickly. I found the gameplay addictive as usual, with plenty to accomplish at each location. Collectibles included gadgets for the rookie agents, as well as puzzle pieces. There were no morphing objects. This time the secret room was the ability to replay HO scenes and mini-games, so no searching for tiny morphing objects. There was an interesting mix of both HO scenes and mini-games, and several were more unusual and challenging. I loved all the HO puzzles but the mini-games were not all my cup of tea. There was, however, a puzzle for everyone, from rotational types to games of skill, and a very interesting maze puzzle. My only issue was one of quality assurance. The text did not remain on the screen long enough to read it, so I found the storyline a bit confusing at times. Some of the puzzles were difficult to manipulate too. The gameplay interface needed a tad more touchscreen sensitivity. Still, this game was more unusual and I did enjoy it immensely. My rating will remain at 4 stars, due to less than stellar quality assurance and my dislike of several mini-games. I would have liked more codes and games of logic. Please stop complaining about pricing. We have little enough to play as it is, and these games take extensive time and work to create. If you keep on griping, Elephant won’t succeed. Now that Oleg has refused to give us EIPIX, we need more Elephant games! Happy gaming, everyone!

It’s ok, but just
I really enjoy the mystery trackers series, but I think this is probably one of the least successful games in the series. The thing that bothered me the most was not being able to read all the pieces of paper when they pop up. They frequently contain information you need to continue on with the game or at least make it easier but they’re gone in like two seconds. And there’s nowhere to look them up like a journal or a notebook. I also thought it was a bit glitchy in places. Mystery trackers is a great series — I’d like to see you do better.

One of the worst!
I’ve played ALOT of BigFish/Elephant games and have a very good frame of reference for knowing quality vs. the crap. This story was stupid, the video cut scenes were so low-res, almost unwatchable, and many of the mini-games made no sense and had zero info, that Skip was the only way to move forward! I had to use Hint far too much, and I’ve had extensive play-testing on games. There’s always a first time for everything, and this was the FIRST game that would quickly take away a found document before you had time to read it all, and then it would disappear. What’s the point of having a nice hand-drawn old-style parchment message if it comes up onscreen, and literally 2 seconds later, is taken away and never to be seen again!? Never have I seen any BF-style games do that, and it’s the worst example of low quality game here. I couldn’t finish this game fast enough, to move on.
Better luck next time, Elephant…but whoever did this one for you, oughta be removed from the building! I cannot believe I paid for the full game! Kept thinking it would get better!

This game could have been 5 stars but…
Again, custom mode works, then doesn’t work. I have finally figured out a fix for this glitch, but honestly it shouldn’t exist in every game. I quit playing and leave the game open in the background, it saves my progress and custom settings, however the settings show as I set them but they’re really back to out of the box mode. I have to check off everything, then uncheck everything, then all is right again. How petty and aggravating for every game.
-Mini games were too easy, but they were fun in this game. I just dislike any mini game that requires me to use arrows to dodge objects, I have mobility problems and I wish that there were an alternate game for us players who are physically impaired.
-Again I’m requesting easy mode and hard mode game play.
-I’m still holding out for collectibles to show on the map.
-I’m extremely tired of reviews that cry about the cost of these games. If you want better games with great scenery, thoughtful puzzles, then it requires time, effort, imagination and manpower. This I not free. I have in the past bought many video games that I finished in one night that cost me $45 and that was a long, long time ago. Stop whining and either buy the game or wait for a sale this is peoples livelihood, not the welfare line!
-thank you for an enjoyable game!

Glitch
I was enjoying the game, but there was a glitch. Can’t get blue print to show on the mannequin Indian. Frustrating to pay for a game and can’t finish! Doubt I get my money back🥲
