Mysterium (GB)

Mysterium on the Game Boy Color is an engaging cooperative puzzle game where players embark on a mysterious murder investigation within an old mansion. The storyline revolves around a wrongfully murdered ghost who cannot speak directly, only communicate through abstract visual images. Your task, as one of the talented psychics, is to decipher these messages to uncover the truth.

Each round, the ghost will send you (and AI psychics if playing solo) a set of unique "vision cards." These cards feature ambiguous, symbolic images without any text. Your job is to carefully analyze each image and link them to the available suspects, locations, or murder weapons displayed on the screen. For instance, a card with an image of an old clock might hint at time, or a vintage item. A card depicting a forest might indicate an outdoor location. You must use your intuition and deductive reasoning skills to find the most accurate connection.

The ultimate goal is to identify three crucial elements: the killer, the crime scene, and the murder weapon. The game unfolds over several nights, and each night you will receive more clues. However, time is limited, and if you fail to unravel the mystery before time runs out, the case will be closed without a resolution. Mysterium demands logical thinking, attention to detail, and a bit of ability to "read the mind" of the ghost. The GBC version would likely feature characteristic pixel art graphics, creating a mysterious and classic atmosphere, fitting the game's setting. This is a unique experience, combining puzzles and deduction, offering intense yet very enjoyable hours of gameplay.
