Mystery Castle doesn’t necessarily do anything crazy or unique to separate itself from others in the genre, but what Runestone Games did perfectly was recapture that nostalgic feel of the older puzzle games, much like my beloved Adventures of Lolo.
Annoying design decisions aside, Mystery Castle provides several hours worth of challenging and cleverly designed brainteasers for puzzle fiends to enjoy
Mystery Castle is a fun, inventive, and charming puzzle game. There is not much to the story, even though the writing is cute and clever. I fully recommend this game to anyone looking to scratch a puzzle solving itch. But, be aware of the game’s short length, repetitive tasks, and puzzling interface.
