It’s been years since we last got to take in the Lost Grimoires series on console, but finally Artifex Mundi have popped up again to deliver us access to Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.Â
It was back in 2017 when the first Lost Grimoires launched on Xbox, with the follow-up – Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery – arriving hot on those heels. Now though, some four years later we find the Hidden Object kings at Artifex Mundi allowing access to the third tale in the series – Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well.Â
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch, Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well throws us into a time in which the war between those of the Kingdom of Phoenix and an army of elves is slowly coming to an end. It is however also a time when all manner of oddities is going down and with strange letters detailing wrong-doing and hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered, you join the fray, determined to try to understand what exactly is going on.Â

If you are familiar with the Hidden Object genre on console then you will know that it is Artifex Mundi who have pretty much single-handedly pushed the genre on to new heights. With a host of magical tales already in their back catalogue, it should therefore mean that Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well is able to scratch the itch required of it. In fact, if you have played the previous games in the series, we reckon this could well be a no-brainer.Â
But what are you getting this time around? Well, Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well provides access to no less than 26 locations and a similar amount of mini-games, as you utilise alchemy to help push you forward through the Kingdom at hand. Your task is to try and understand what the hell is going on in the world, with full immersion detailed by the glory of the hidden objects that you will need to find.Â
A full purchase of Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well on Xbox One and optimised for Xbox Series X|S can be picked up via a simple visit to the Xbox Store; it’s there where you’ll find it present for £12.49. There’s also a free trial kicking around for those wishing to try before they buy. You’ll also find Lost Grimoires 3: The Forgotten Well available on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch too.Â

Game Description:
The war between the Kingdom of Phoenix and the possesed army of elves and their leader Sylvanheir is coming to an end. When the subjects await the arrival of their king, his sister – the alchemist – is full of bad feelings. Strange letters, sent by her brother in the last weeks of war expedition and horrible nightmares lead her to believe that something wrong is going on with the king. She suspects that it is somehow connected with the dwellers of the Tangled Forest, who conjured people of the kingdom of elves. Is the protagonist right about all this? What inglorious secrets are hidden beneath the legendary past? Will the Alchemist unravel the complicated plot, make up for the Kingdom’s sins from the past and save her brother?
