Get ready to investigate a mysterious murder of mythological proportions!
Players guide a steady stream of customers through various locations, such as a hospital, bathhouse, and museum. To serve each customer efficiently, players must quickly identify what the customer needs and click on the appropriate location or item. Serving customers quickly earns points, which unlock upgrades and progress the story.
Unlike many time management games, this title seamlessly integrates the storyline into the gameplay. The locations and customers players encounter change organically with the unfolding plot, rather than being confined to specific chapters or levels. This helps keep the gameplay fresh and engaging as the mystery surrounding a young girl's murder and its ties to Greek mythology deepens.
Interspersed between the time management levels are various minigames that test players' observation, deduction, and analysis skills. These include tasks like chemical analysis, symbology study, and interrogation. While not timed, these minigames still provide a fun change of pace and help players advance the investigation.
As players earn points by serving customers, they can use the rewards to purchase upgrades for the protagonist's "Mystic Ring." These upgrades enhance her abilities in the time management levels, such as increasing the speed at which she can serve customers or the size of the area she can search. Unlocking all of these upgrades is key to progressing through the more challenging later levels.
Many players praised the gameplay for its blend of time management, story, and minigames. Reviewers appreciated how the changing locations and narrative kept the experience fresh, in contrast to more repetitive time management titles. The minigames were also well-received for providing a fun change of pace without becoming overly difficult. Overall, the gameplay was seen as a strong evolution of the time management genre.
