After scoring a pair of hits with 2008's hidden object adventure Magic Encyclopedia: First Story and its follow-up, Magic Encyclopedia: Moon Light, Alawar isn't resting on its laurels with the third game in the series. Magic Encyclopedia 3: Illusions introduces a fresh new graphical makeover and a unique approach to seek-and-find that has you switching between two different layers (one real and one an illusion) to uncover all of the secrets a scene has to offer.Catherine, the magic academy's best student, is dutifully studying at the library when she gets an urgent message from her professors via crystal ball. A villain named the Illusionist has stolen an important book from the academy and escaped, leaving a trail of illusions to cover his tracks. The illusions are so powerful that not only have they trapped the professors, but they've disguised the surroundings so that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between what's real and what's fake.
Magic Encyclopedia 3 follows the same tradition as previous games in the series in that you aren't simply searching scenes filled with random clutter for a list of arbitrary objects. Rather, you're looking for pieces of key objects that you have to put back together in order to solve puzzles. In one early scene, for example, you have to open a drape by first finding all of the pieces of the drapery cord. Another challenge involves finding all of the pieces of a gear to repair on old clock, and so on. Read more...
