Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera is an action-packed hidden object adventure game, in which an opera troupe visits a quaint village for a performance solely to become entangled in mysterious disappearances and murders.
You play the part of a stagehand in this famous opera troupe that has been invited by a Count Vladd Vansig III to perform for him in his tiny village. Surprisingly enough, the village is empty apart from the count and his manservant. (Honestly though, if you have been invited to perform during a village in that the only residents are a person named Vladd and his manservant, the best course of action would have been to run away!)

You start the game in your automobile driving the stage props to the village. Unexpectedly (or expectedly, considering this is a mystery thriller game), a car tire goes flat and therefore the engine stalls. Your hidden puzzle adventure begins as you try to find your method to the village and locate the remainder of the opera troupe. As you enter the village and interact with the folks there, you begin to appreciate things don't seem to be what they appear, and everybody seems to own their own hidden agenda. Then somebody gets murdered, and the journey begins in earnest.
The gameplay in Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera is primarily like an adventure puzzle game, with hidden object scenes and mini-puzzles gift at nearly every turn. You progress between interconnected scenes and locations whereas trying to unravel puzzles and overcome varied obstacles in order to progress further.
The scenes or locations in the sport are all connected like the dungeon maps in role-taking part in games. To advance from scene to scene, you'd need to beat obstacles such as gap a locked door or crossing a river whose bridge had been washed away. Solving these obstacles will involve getting items like keys, which in flip are obtained by solving alternative puzzles, hidden object scenes or interacting directly with the environment. As an example, if you would like a tree branch to resolve an obstacle, you may find a saw or axe and chop down a tree in a forest scene.
The hidden object scenes that you simply encounter in the sport aren't excessively difficult. They are the traditional puzzles where you are needed to search out an inventory of random items in an exceedingly busy scene, some of that will be used to solve subsequent puzzles or overcome obstacles. There are the hidden puzzles where you are needed to find six birds and vi musical notes and therefore the like. The mini-games and puzzles need additional logical reasoning and downside solving, and are a refreshing break from the item-hunting in the rest of the game. If you get stuck though, there is invariably the choice to skip the puzzles and continue with the story.
The game progression in Curse of the Opera conjointly slightly differs from ancient hidden object games. Kind of like role-enjoying games, your objectives or "quests" are obtained by talking to characters who are located in an "inn". And after you complete those "quests", you come back to the character in query and get the next half of their quest.
These characters are very colorful and add an entire ton of life into the game. You have the creepy count, the soprano diva, the silent violinist, the nonchalant engineer and more. And every one of them have nice voice-acting complete with accents applicable for a grand international opera troupe. The atmosphere and artwork are terribly immersive as well. Although all the scenes and locations are dark and gloomy (the sport is termed Nightfall Mysteries when all), they perfectly portray the mysterious village and its sinister inhabitants.
Curse of the Opera delivers a decent mystery journey game that mixes the role-playing game, hidden object and puzzle game genres pretty well. It is well worth your time to return explore the mysteries surrounding Count Vladd and his secluded very little village.
