Marcella Moon: Secret on the Hill

This is such a fun game! The atmosphere and mystery are so good for a game made by one person. This is a great game for someone wanting a quick mystery.

An exciting first chapter of a brand new world for point and click detectives. Marcella Moon: Secret on the Hill is has a well told story and beautiful soundtrack. The game takes you to Ireland to investigate a missing person in a town with a history of fairy kidnappings. It doesn't take long to realize not everyone is being upfront about what is happening in this sleepy little town.

Very impressive for a one person effort. Graphics are rough, obviously, but it has all the classic makings of a good mystery story like Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes. Looking forward to seeing what else this developer puts out

MARCELLA MOON – SECRET ON THE HILL Osanna Vaughn, mother of Bjorn the Hammer For a newcomer to video games, Marcella Moon and the Secret on the Hill was the perfect introduction to a fun world of adventure, riddles and puzzles, while offering engaging information about Irish myths and legends. Author Amelia Goldstone has disappeared while researching local myths and legends in Sligo, Ireland; and amateur sleuth, Marcella Moon, is on the case. However, when she inquires about Amelia, no one seems ready to give her any straight answers. It’s almost as if, friendly as they are, they all have something to hide. Rumours of a legendary pirate treasure could hold the key. Had Goldstone discovered too much? Step by step, Marcella discovers clues, locates artifacts and solves riddles that lead her to figuring out the mystery of the Secret on the Hill, but… does she find Amelia alive? You’ll need to play the game to find out.

Short and sweet experience. Definitely gave me some old school Nancy Drew game vibes, even though the graphics are quite primitive. I got stumped for a bit because I didn't know how to open the inventory (space bar), but the writing was well done and the characters felt distinct and believable. I'm looking forward to seeing Marcella Moon grow with time!

Really loved the plot in this bad boy. Reminds me of 'Ireland' (country) and all the CRAZY stuff that happens there every day! Won't ever forget the characters... Finn McCool... Saoirse... Ranger Pete... and that old nefarious innkeeper. That sword... it's something I'll think about a lot! For the rest of my days.. that's for sure. That's. For. Sure. Anyways... Not a big fan overall.

While this game may not be groundbreaking, the game is still a lot of fun and it achieves exactly what it sets out to achieve. With an interesting blend of fact and fiction, beautiful music, fun puzzles and a suspenseful and dramatic ending, this is a great start to a hopefully long running series. If the next games can improve the animations and production values, this series could definitely be just as good as the Nancy Drew series. I’m definitely signing up to travel with Marcella Moon on her future trips and I’m eagerly anticipating to see where the series goes from here.

Cute Nancy Drew-inspired point and click mystery. Pretty rudimentary but nice local details and intuitive gameplay. Looking forward to more releases with longer playtimes and more intricate puzzles.
