The verdict…

Enigmatis: The Ghosts Of Maple Creek is a nice game for you if you are looking for a game which allows you to solve an investigation and mimic being a private detective virtually! The game has great graphics and smooth performance, the only (major!?) drawback being that its size is massive – it’s about 500 MB in size! Apart from that one drawback, this game pretty much nails everything to be an awesome game!

I give this game a 4.5 out of 5 rating.
