Vermillion Watch: Parisian Pursuit for Windows

Vermillion Watch: Parisian Pursuit is the sixth installment in the eponymous hidden object series from Big Fish Games. Find out the continuation of the story about the cooperation of the hero and the “Scarlet Watch”. According to the prehistory, the girl Eleanor needed the help of the protagonist, therefore, together with Phileas Fogg, he goes to the Sorbonne, where the exhibition “The World of Magic” will be held.

Arriving at the starting location of the game Vermillion Watch, from the newspaper we learn about a strange disease that befell the Parisians – people are paralyzed or, being unconscious, they do strange things.

Leaving the press, we go to the performance, where Eleanor appears, shows magic tricks and introduces himself. During the conversation, she offers to look at the central exhibit of the exhibition – a stone that was used to communicate with the dead. So it was until the relic lost 3 magical elements, with holes allocated for them.

After talking with a girl in Vermillion Watch 6, the hero goes out into the street, and upon his return he finds an act of theft. Having frozen the visitors, unknown persons steal the stone and go home. In place of the relic, they left business cards with the signature of a certain Lupine.

From this moment on, the full-fledged passage of Vermillion Watch 6: Parisian Pursuit begins, where, according to the precepts of the publisher’s studio, we do the following:

• move between locations in order to search for objects and solve puzzles;
• communicate with the characters, finding out the details of what happened;
• observing the picturesque scenery.

Regarding riddles, they repeat those from other games from the developer:

• each room offers several points with items;
• the latter can be used anywhere after 2 or all 20 minutes;
• The puzzles feature logic, jigsaw and spatial reasoning tasks.

As in the version of Vermillion Watch 4: In Blood CE rus (Russian version), for convenience, there is a key “Hint”, which allows you to use a hint that can hover on the trail or solve a difficult problem. How often it can be used is determined by the difficulty level selected at the beginning, of which there are 3:

1. Trainee.
2. Inspector.
3. Chief.

There is a custom difficulty setting in manual mode.

For the genre of hidden objects, the game looks great: the backdrops are worked out, there are picturesque views, the characters are remembered. Of the nitpicks that will surely carry over to the game Vermillion Watch 14 (the series was put on the conveyor belt) – overloading with interior details and moving mouths and eyes attached to static images of characters. Perhaps this is subjective, and others will not even notice it.

The musical accompaniment is at a height, which is why the developers recommend playing with headphones on the title screen, for complete immersion in what is happening. But what prevents to get imbued with the story in the game Vermillion Watch 6: Parisian Pursuit CE rus is the absence of the Russian language. There were no problems with management – the project responds without delay.

Fans of the series appreciated the sequel favorably, noting:

• an exciting story;
• picturesque graphics;
• variety of puzzles.

Cons:

• self-repetition of a developer studio, transferring the same type of puzzles from one series of games to another;
• a weakened plot near the end of the playthrough.

As a result, Big Fish Games has released another hidden object game worthy of users’ attention. You can play on a PC, where, before buying the full version for $ 9.99, they offer 1 hour to explore the virtual world for free.
