GOG and Artifex Mundi are working together again, as today the Grim Legends series became available to grab from GOG with Linux builds.

As expected from Artifex Mundi, all three games in the series The Forsaken Bride, Song of the Dark Swan and The Dark City have some exceptionally beautiful scenes. For those who've never played them, they're hidden object adventure games that have a story to follow along.

Check out the trailer from the first game, to understand a little more:

GOG provided me with a key for them and so I decided to actually check them out. Quite different to what I had expected, with animated scenes while you're hunting for items to solve puzzles. I rarely play hidden object games but this was impressive.

Pretty clever too actually, a good mix of beautiful artwork with simple animations. There's a pretty decent variety to the puzzles too, some of them actually made me stop and think for a while.

You can find these on GOG now:
