Our take on Crystals of Time
The game centers on a fixed mansion mystery built around hand-drawn scenes, hidden-object searches, and minigames. That focused structure leaves less room for combat, character development, or open-ended exploration, making it a narrower experience than games built around broader action or role-playing systems.
