Mystery Case Files – Dire Grove

Mystery Case Files – Dire Grove is an adventure-puzzle casual game developed by Big Fish Studios, and distributed by Big Fish Games. It is the sixth game in the main series of Mystery Case Files games. This game focuses on four graduate students led by Alison Sterling who all travel to a small township near Blackpool. While it carries on from Return to Ravenhearst, it’s not linked in with the saga overall. Mystery Case Files – Dire Grove was released for the Nintendo 3DS on April 03, 2014.

The Celtic legend of Dire Grove has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Considered a fairytale, its telling was meant to frighten small children into staying in their beds through the night. A recently unearthed artifact in the United Kingdom, however, proves the dark legend to be true! Use your wits and Hidden Object talents to follow the trail of a group of missing graduate students in Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove!

The game begins with the discovery of an abandoned rental car on the side of the road during a freak snow storm and goes on to include approximately 10-15 hours of interactive gameplay that includes hidden objects and puzzles, as well as a gripping storyline. For the first time in an MCF game, much of the Dire Grove storyline is told through film, with players finding tapes scattered around the town of Dire Grove – each one revealing increasingly more information about the four graduate students who’ve disappeared.
