Mercury Abbey is a premium adventure game that plunges players into a vintage pixel-art world full of mystery and personified animal characters. In this title from YiTi Games, you join the two protagonists, Harrod and Willie, on a journey inspired by classic mystery novels, all set within a charming but cursed abbey.

For fans of classic adventure and mystery games, Mercury Abbey offers a fresh experience reminiscent of titles like Professor Layton or Ace Attorney, but with a distinct, “furry”-focused visual style. It expertly blends point-and-click exploration with a rich narrative, creating an immersive world waiting to be uncovered.

Charming secrets

Mercury Abbey's gameplay revolves around its intriguing story, where clues are scattered throughout the world, waiting to be pieced together. Players can collect character information, legendary stories, and hidden items, with each discovery bringing them closer to the truth. However, some players have pointed out that the puzzles and clues can be quite unintuitive. Instead of a more straightforward challenge, certain puzzles require trial and error.

The game also encourages exploration and curiosity by offering a wealth of collectibles and achievements. Every action, from taking a picture to overhearing gossip, contributes to unlocking new content. The combination of classic mystery novel elements with an imaginative and unique "furry" worldview is a refreshing take on the genre. The constant danger surrounding the protagonists keeps the tension high and pushes the story forward.

As for the visuals, the game masterfully combines retro pixel art with detailed American comic-style illustrations. The unique lighting technology breathes life into every scene, from the grand Fossil Hall to the eerie Underground Cave, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The world-building is also impressive, with a deep lore that involves personified animals, legends, and societies, although some players find the intricate plot a bit confusing to follow.
