![]() There is one quirk about the puzzle design that I should mention. To help you out, pressing space will highlight all interact-able objects on the screen, perfect for letting you know what items could be used and avoiding the pixel hunting nightmare of older adventure games.Īnother aspect that I like about these puzzles is that the items in question aren’t used in crazy unreal ways, but their original use for a unique purpose. The option to see all interact-able objects in a room with a push of a button, helps cut back on pixel hunting. Using inventory items is simple enough and the limited available environments in one area helps to keep things from getting too crazy. The first are your usual puzzles that you would find in an adventure game: Something or someone is blocking your progress and you have to make use of items to get around. ![]() Puzzle design is interesting in Moebius, featuring two different types of puzzles. The game is broken up into different chapters as Malachi goes around to various settings to crack the mystery. Moebius feels a lot more like classic adventure games compared to the recent offerings from Telltale and other modern titles with an inventory, puzzles and even as little score to show how well you’ve played. One day he is asked by a strange organization to do research on a woman who was recently killed which leads to him becoming involved with world changing events. The main character of Moebius is Malachi Rector, an antiques appraiser who gets jobs around the world analyzing antiques for their authenticity. There will be nothing about the greater plot and gameplay examples are kept to a minimum.) (This analysis will be lightly spoiling the plot of Moebius, mainly the early parts of chapter one. With Moebius, adventure game designer and writer Jane Jensen is looking to the old days with some modern ideas. And while it has helped grow the fan base, many old school fans miss the days of puzzle solving. The adventure genre has certainly come a long way since the days of old school design and found a revival over the last few years thanks to Telltale with their focus on narrative instead of puzzle design.
