Our take on Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials
Its defining structure is a historical investigation split between two periods: Hawthorne’s mysterious death and the Salem witch trials of the 17th century.
What is Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials?
Investigate the strange death of Nathaniel Hawthorne after his ghost appears during a freak snowstorm in May.
The story moves between Hawthorne’s final days and 17th-century Salem, where rumors of witchcraft have placed a woman at risk of execution. Explore Salem village indoors and outdoors, interview apparitions, search for hidden objects, and solve puzzles while tracing a possible conspiracy involving the witch trials, Hawthorne’s associates, and the Oval Office. The game includes 10 adventure missions. Collectible clovers unlock an unlimited hidden-object mode, while the Collector’s Edition adds an illustrated strategy guide, two hidden Easter Eggs with special hidden-object modes, and a character sketch index.
