  I have been playing the Madame Fate series since they came out. I love the games, I love the scenes, I love the collections

  Yeah, I couldn't resist buying this at full price but if I wanted to follow the Ravenhearst story-arc, I needed it. In MCF: Madame Fate, after freeing Emma's spirit from Ravenhearst, Madame Fate contacted you as she saw her own demise in her crystal ball - she needs you to find who among her employees wants her dead.... And you'll ask me: why is it tied to Ravenhearst? Because the storyline has a huge twist at the end, that will make you go back to Ravenhearst Manor in the fifth installement of the series. You're now visiting a fair, along with people: you'll have a number of items to find in order to access to the future of the employees (doomed, doomed and doomed.... anyway). Each scene contains also beyond objects items (changing appearances) that will unlock special places where you can gain time - mainly if you're in the normal mode where you have a timer. When visiting an employee, you'll have a puzzle of words to solve, each time different in the thematic. Then, there, you'll have to find specific items (5 clubs, 10 moons, 15 jelly beans, etc...). And when you want to reveal their fate, well, you'll have a puzzle to solve - an elaborate one as sometimes, it's hard to see what to do. As you understand, Madame Fate, while being in the first era of hidden objects games, has a tendancy to orient itself towards modern "hidden objects" games: beyond objects, puzzles, and hidden objects scenes in a scene. However, I felt the game being long for a simple reason: you have many employees to check AND some objects are so well hidden that you'll need a magnifying lens to see them. Also, as the game is in English only, I had an hard time for the puzzle words (I don't know all the fruit in English or even the feelings) and for some items, like a dolly, where I was searching for a doll when it was something else (a tool used to carry boxes or crates). So in other words, Madame Fate isn't opened to everyone, at least on Steam. If you want a multilanguage game, you need to find it elsewhere or in retail. Madame Fate's ambiance, however, is between cynism and dark humor. It's perhaps less creepy than Ravenhearst, the previous game, but there is still evil lurking around and the fair Madame Fate owned isn't the most joyful in the world. Anyway, it's still a good game, a good moment to pass just to know the fate of the employees and who wants to kill her. I spent 10 bucks that I'm not regretting, however, you should prefer a discount on it, that will perhaps happen one day, as Ravenhearst and Return to Ravenhearst were during this sale!

  Probably one of the hardest games to complete in the Ravenhearst series (yes series), this game is exquisite in its design, execution, and entertainment value. Again, it is a must for my follow hunt and peck people out there, unlimited replayabilty and a great story unfolds as you look into the murder at a carnival.

  Very nostalgic, unique suspects and surely Madame Fate knows what will happen at the stroke of 12 😏

  Out of all the Mystery Case File Games - I recommend this one the most. The only bummer is that there are no Steam achievements to unlock with this game.

  I played this game as a kid and returned for a much-needed nostalgia break. Visuals are obviously dated but still breathtakingly magical. I had missed the song-rich environment of the MCF series. Looking forward to playing this again in 15 years :D

  If you like SeekNFind's and puzzle games, then I highly recommend all the Mystery Case Files. Madame Fate was just a personal favorite for me. (loved the creepy carnival atmosphere) I really enjoyed this one!

  Another great game. The fate carnival and the try to change fate. Still as simple as the other parts but not les fun. Its th e hardest part of the series so far because the objects are better hidden. As always highly recommendable

  Caveat emptor is what comes to my mind on these games. This is a hidden object game, and if you are looking for a hidden object game, this might work for you. They are high quality hidden object puzzles and are fun to do... BUT (My issues with these games) 1. As a casual game, having a countdown timer makes them less "casual" than they should be. It takes the fun out of trying to find the hidden objects, makes the player rush through the puzzles, and they miss the details and effort that went into the graphics. It wouldn't be that big of an issue but when you run out of time, you have to start over and do all the hidden object puzzles in the current section over to advance the story. 2. Every game starting in full-screen mode is also irritating. I understand that these games are old (from 2007 on), but full-screen 800x600 was crazy even back in 2007. (NOTE: Not all of the games are 800x600. the newer games (post 2012) are 16x9 resolution) 3. I don't know why these games don't close but when you "quit" the game keeps "running" according to Steam. This isn't a deal-breaker but irritating. Overall, I keep thinking about Caveat emptor and how I should have played the first game I picked up before buying the whole sets of the games. Thankfully, I got them on sale. Summary: Beautiful graphics and artwork. High quality audio. Timed "casual" game The game play (timers) ruined these games for me.
