Gamedec vs Mirrors of Albion
Gamedec
Gamedec is a story-driven CRPG in which you play as a game detective, or “gamedec” that's set in a cyberpunk world where people mostly prefer Virtualia (the virtual world) than the real one (a.k.a. Realium). Similar to a private investigator, your job, when hired, is often to solve problems in the many game worlds in Virtualia, most of which can also be linked to issues in Realium, with your unique set of gamedec tools. There are plenty of decisions to make, people to talk to and professions to pick up as you progress through the storyline, revealing one plot twist after another!I truly can’t sing enough praises for Gamedec. The storytelling, the setting, and the immersion here are nothing short of impressive and I just love that there are so many different ways you can go about doing things. The movement controls can be a bit wonky at times, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this game is as good as they come, and well, if you’re into achievements, you can have fun playing through the story again and again, trying out other dialogue choices and maybe even discovering new story branches that you might have missed in your previous run.
Mirrors of Albion
Mirrors of Albion is a hidden object adventure game where a young lady by the name of Alice Fleming has disappeared from her home. The police were baffled but thankfully, a secret police intern has decided to send the case on to you. The mysterious nature of the incident peaked your interest and voila - you are now on the case! The gameplay in Mirrors of Albion is definitely not for the beginner - in addition to the usual HO mode, you'll also be treated to various anomalies which will increase the difficulty level rather drastically. There are plenty of power-ups, boosts, collectibles, and even fun mini-games, secret locations and a marketplace to trade items.As complicated as the game may be, Mirrors of Albion is among the few hidden object games that is designed for the truly hardcore HO player. If you find the usual hidden object games a tad bit too easy for you, you'll definitely have a blast in this game!
