Mosaic of the Strange

I already like these mosaic games, so i knew i wasn't going to hate it. I was disappointed at first that there was no giant mosaic board with a bunch of different pieces. Was kind of hoping it would show up at the end; but instead it went in an interesting direction with some of the numbers hidden behind a key code. So i like how they were experimenting with how to modify the game. The lack of interaction between different regions was a bit sad, but they still got the nice feeling of different areas revealing themself; so i'm okay without the giant mosaic board for the this game.

Easily my favorite game of the series! The pixel art is gorgeous, and I enjoyed filling out the rooms with every completed puzzle. The narrative was intriguing, and I especially love the music in this iteration. I was not expecting a boss battle in this series, but it was fun! I assume the difficulty options at the beginning affect their speed, and I'm glad that's an option for other players! I highly recommend Mosaic of the Strange if you prefer completing smaller puzzles across stages instead of larger sections of a giant piece.

this is the fifth mosaic game ive played and the fifth one to come out. mosaic of the strange introduces a lot of new elements to the series, like a story, locations, difficulties, coded puzzles, and a "finale." some of these i really appreciated (the difficulty choices were great to have, and the finale n coded puzzles were a fun mix up), but i didnt care for the rest of the new elements. the locations staggers the puzzle regions (vs the one massive picture that the other entries had), which often made it harder to spot which regions i was missing since it often didnt color in once you completed it. the story is There more than anything. you get new dialogue for each region, but youre not really solving a mystery as much as you're just watching two detectives talk until you unlock the region that ends the game. i just skipped through the dialogue. its not a knock against the game and some people might enjoy it, but just not for me. the puzzles themselves are fun, and like i said i really enjoyed when they mix up the puzzle formula. unfortunately it doesnt happen very often. overall id recommend this one if youre a fan of the other mosaic entries since the core puzzles are the same. if youve never played a mosaic game before though, you should probably pick another one first.

試みとしては良かったと思いますよ？ 知らない事を知れるというのはただ漫然と解いていくより良いですし。 慣れてきたのもあってある程度はサクサク解けてたりしたし。 でも、会話が、ね… キャシーが喋ってるのかフランクが喋っているのか、翻訳が悪いのかスクリプトが悪いのか、兎に角そこだけがすんごい残念 この部分の修正パッチは来ないだろうしなー 最後は、まあ、はいｗ

Mosaic of the Strange is a great nonogram/picross puzzle game where the light and dark squares are found using Minesweeper rules to fill in a 3x3 grid. The theming is a supernatural-tinged murder mystery. This is a straightforward homage to the X-Files genre, including 1990's era computers. Solving each nonogram gives a neat summary of a real-world supernatural-adjacent case file, occasionally listing whether the central mystery of that case has been successfully debunked, proven, or remains unsolved. The murder mystery unfolds nicely. I really appreciate the smooth way I can zoom into and out of the available puzzles of the scene. Helps keep solving fluid when I can hop easily between difficult puzzles. It's cool that the ending confirms at least one mystery and leaves the truth or falsehood of another ambiguous. Very much in key with the overall genre. I'm glad I was able to get Complete Achievements after beating the default mode without needing to replay on higher difficulties. I very much appreciate being able to load up a completed save file and return to previous scenes in order to review the solved case files. There is a bug where the graffiti you might leave by using the drawing tools on the puzzles may bleed through to other scenes, and a related bug where solving a puzzle with unerased graffiti may make it harder to erase afterwards. I have reported it in the forum, but it may be that my 3840 x 1200 resolution is the root of the problem, so it could take them longer to patch fix it than if it was a more widespread issue.

The premise and the chunking make it a lot easier to play through than previous versions

Probably the most interesting of these that I've done so far. Blended with a cute, basic mystery with a couple interesting twists at the end.
