Hints are unlimited but once you use one, you need to wait until the hint button reloads.

As you move on solving puzzles of all types, you will encounter characters that can give you some hints and help you rebuild your story. Best of all is the interactive map that lets you instantly jump from one area to the other avoiding the tedious backtracking.

With great graphics and a soundtrack that builds up suspense, the game is beautifully designed and entertaining and it has an intriguing story. Though it resorts to the typical HOG formula, Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Mapple Creek is a title that will no doubt please all fans of the genre.
