Addams Family: Mystery Mansion

The Addams Family - Mystery Mansion is based on a comic book series created by Charles Addams and its animated adaptation produced and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. The game was developed by the Pixowl studio, with such games as Goosebumps HorrorTown and Peanuts: Snoopy's Town Tale.

Plot

Although the story in The Addams Family - Mystery Mansion is mainly based on an animated film released in 2019, the developers have introduced an additional story to the game, which explains the confusion in the Addams estate in a simple way. After returning from the second honeymoon organized by Gomez, it turns out that Mr. Addams prepared another surprise for his wife. In order to renew her memories of her early married years, he decided to sell all the furniture in the house and allow Morticia to furnish it from scratch.

Mechanics

The main goal of the game is to rebuild the house of the Addams family, as well as to meet the needs of the family living there. Starting from an empty hall, the player slowly unlocks subsequent locations, gaining access to additional equipment and characters, whose abilities help to match the appearance of the property and significantly facilitate certain elements of the game. It is worth noting that unlocking a significant part of rooms and home appliances is only possible if the appropriate level is reached. Experience points can be obtained by meeting the needs of the family as well as by performing special role-playing missions.

The player's meticulous involvement in the life of the Addams results in special items and enables to earn extra money. A common currency in the game is the so-called "Addams Coin", which the player can not only exchange for furniture or decorations, but also for special family events giving the chance to get unique items. In addition, the game also has a premium currency in the form of rubies, for which you can buy rare items or terminate certain activities prematurely.

Apart from the classic purchase of furniture or decorations, the player can also produce them thanks to crafting. From previously acquired components, such as wool or metal, you can create the things you need to decorate your home or household items.

Game modes

Although The Addams Family - Mystery Mansion is a single player game, the developers have made it possible for players to visit other users' homes. In addition to the opportunity to admire the different layouts of the Addams family residences, more advanced players can also benefit from special furniture that can use special furniture that can provide the visitor with a small amount of money.

Technical aspects

The Addams Family - Mystery Mansion looks really good. Although developers may be accused of applying certain simplifications to the original, this game certainly cannot be denied an atmosphere. Despite the implementation of a soundtrack that fits the mood of the game, after a long time it becomes monotonous and repetitive.
