Electronic Theatre delivers an in-depth review of cerasus.media's latest Nintendo DS success, Mystery Stories, a hidden object game with a few new ideas.

Mystery Stories does, in fact, have more than a few ideas as to how to mix-up the typically sluggish pace of Hidden Object Puzzle games, some of which have been devised perfectly for the host system, and a few others which are not quite so successful. Only two gameplay modes are available, Adventure Mode and Free Play Mode, the latter of which is simply the option to replay puzzles from the former. Much of the game’s appeal does rely on the ability to engross the player either in the storyline, or in the delivery of the puzzles.
