In the meantime, let us know your thoughts in our forum by clicking here. We’ll be waiting impatiently to get our hands on the final version. Needless to say, we were pretty excited about what we saw so far in Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox. We didn’t manage to get all the way through Time Paradox during our hands-on time with it, but one thing we did notice is that when you start a new game, the item pieces will be in different places so the game offers some replay value. – this is why time paradoxes are bad!) Inside the journal was written a puzzle consisting of simple arithmetic equations that, when solved, revealed the correct phone number to dial.Īnother interesting new feature is the fact that there are more characters to interact with, like the goddess Freya, who asked Mortimer to return her sword and shield to her in exchange for revealing one of the object pieces he was looking for. For example, one of the puzzles in the Viking Age involved dialling a phone number on the payphone inside the tavern (yes, a payphone in 901 A.D. Mortimer is able to write down clues needed to solve the puzzles in a journal that can be accessed at any time. As well, some object fragments aren’t revealed unless you solve a puzzle or mini-game first. Some locations allow you to travel deeper inside, like entering a cave from the outside or walking to the docks from the main part of the village. Instead, you’ll have to travel to several different locations to find out where to use the items in your inventory. In Time Paradox, not all of the misplaced items are found in the same room. He also has to find the pieces to all the objects, fix them, and return them to their appropriate places.
First, he must find the pieces of Uncle Jerome’s Time Bomb, which is the key to sealing the portals for good.
Mortimer has two tasks he must complete in each era.
In the Viking Age, for example, we explored a village, a tavern full of rowdy horn-helmeted guests, an ancient temple devoted to the Norse gods, and finally a cave whose entrance was being guarded by a formidable looking Frost Giant. Each Age consists of a map with several locations to travel between. The first one we found ourselves in was the Viking Age in the year 901 A.D. In all, there are eight different stages of history to explore. (Such as finding three pieces of a barrel lid and placing it back onto the barrel.) Once the item is whole again, it’s added to your inventory and you can use it to solve a puzzle somewhere else in the scene by placing it onto the appropriate hotspot. We hope it is true because this hidden object game is really cool, so don’t miss this masterpiece.Like the first Mortimer Beckett game, items in Time Paradox are split into individual pieces that you have to find in order to fit the objects back together. The game is a little short, but the developers say that there will be a continuation of Mortimer Beckett’s time adventures. We liked sounds and music a lot because they perfectly fit the location and time you are in. All the objects can be seen clearly, but the game gives you pictures of the items you need to find and sometimes we failed to recognize them. The graphics in Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox is quite good. With its help it is almost impossible to stuck during your serious mission. Mortimer Becketts back for an all-new, eye-popping adventure in Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox Join Mortimer for a wild trip through time to find a scattered Time Bomb, put it back together, and close a Time Portal before its too late Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox is another great hidden object mystery for all ages. There is also an unlimited hint system that needs some time to recharge. Each level consists of several locations you can change them using your map. After you collect an item from the list, you can either use it to solve a puzzle, like placing a ladder to climb up the roof, or to fix the time paradox your uncle has created. There are several ages to explore in this game, like Ancient Egypt, or the Vikings time.
