Mystic Diary: Lost Brother was developed and published by Sun Ray Games company. This is a hidden object game with some original puzzles and mini-games. Playing as a magician you should investigate mysterious disappearance of your brother. Mystic diary will help you to save Gustav and complete the mission.

The hidden object gameplay has nothing unusual: you have to explore each location and find all the items from a special list. Only one item per level is relevant to the story, and it goes to your inventory. When the right time comes you will have to use quest items to complete certain tasks.

There is a great variety of mini-games in Mystic Diary: Lost Brother. Among common games like Simon Says, or connecting wires, the game offers a few puzzles of its own. In one puzzle, you guide a ball through a labyrinth until it reaches middle. Another requires adjusting the lens of a microscope to get clear vision. We have found these mini-games even more entertaining than general gameplay.

The game has everything to be called a good hidden object game, but one thing - the length. It is really short. Experienced players will make their way through the game in two or three hours. If it is all right with you, then Mystic Diary: Lost Brother would be a good choice!
