Chimeras: Mark of Death

About

You play a private investigator brought back into a cold case from twelve years ago. A prosecutor who helped lock away a thief died suddenly, and that thief stole a powerful relic known as the Chimera. The judge handling your current assignment found a warning token linked to the original crime and fears others involved might be next. You explore various locations to find clues while solving puzzles that unlock new areas of the story. This is a point-and-click adventure where you piece together evidence to solve the mystery before the killer strikes again. The game keeps tension high by making past events feel dangerous in the present. Players have rated the title well for its engaging narrative and solid puzzle design within the hidden object genre. Elephant Games delivered a mystery that does not hold your hand, forcing you to think carefully about connections between suspects. The artwork supports the dark tone without getting too cluttered during search scenes. You can play this single-player experience on PC or Mac without needing an internet connection once installed.

Storyline

It seemed like an open-and-shut case - the criminal was identified, arrested, tried, and executed for stealing the Chimera relic and murdering two guards. But when the prosecutor from that case is found dead 12 years later, it seems there are a few mysteries left to solve. The judge who summons you has also received an ominous token of the villain's deadly intentions, and he suspects everyone involved in that case is on his hit list as well. Can you track down the killer - and the truth - before you become marked for death?
