Artifex Mundi and House of Fables have returned with their fantastical Eventide hidden object adventure series inspired by Slavic folklore, having already delivered two instalments featuring a famous botanist named Mary Gilbert. She’s taken on the demonic Boruta in the lovely Slavic Fable offering and halted the evil plans of powerful mage Tvardovsky in the disappointing Sorcerer’s Mirror, but now it’s time for the third and final chapter to make amends for that. Can Eventide 3: Legacy of Legends get things in order to create a magical experience that ends the trilogy on a high?

FINALLY!
