UK-based mobile game devs Outplay Entertainment has launched Mystery Match Village worldwide on Android and iOS devices. The match-3 puzzle game and spiritual successor to the popular Mystery Match takes players on an all-new adventure with bubbly private investigator Emma Fairfax as she returns to her hometown of Kingsfall to find her village shrouded in secrets that she is eager to solve.
First released in 2014, Mystery Match changed the landscape of mobile puzzle games by being the first to include a narrative-driven match-3 experience. Building on the success of its predecessor, Outplay Entertainment introduces the anticipated follow up, Mystery Match Village, to challenge and entertain fans of mystery stories and perplexing puzzles alike. Pushing the production values and gameplay variety of the puzzle game genre, Mystery Match Village takes narrative-driven storytelling and match-3 gameplay to the next level by introducing new mechanics, hidden object searches, village restoration, episodic content with a growing cast of intriguing and lovable characters that will evolve the overall plot, and more intricate clues to hone those detective skills.
