Grim Legends 3 The Dark City

Grim Legends 3: The Dark City is the third installment in Artifex Mundi's hidden-object puzzle-adventure series, with a darker gothic-city setting than the previous entries. The protagonist, Sylvia, is an acolyte of a mysterious monster-hunting Order who lost her memory a year ago. The Incarceri Stone — a powerful artifact binding Koshmaar, a horrifying creature from another world — has just been stolen, and Sylvia and her master Solomon are dispatched to recover it before the seal fails.

The investigation leads to the city of Lichtenheim, a gothic urban environment populated by Maskwraiths — demonic creatures corrupted by power from another dimension. The thief's identity, when revealed, comes as no smaller a shock than the disappearance of the artifact itself, and the case forces both Sylvia and her mentor to confront not just the evil forces inside the city's walls but dark secrets from their own past. The question of whether Sylvia can recover the Stone and prevent Koshmaar from breaking free runs the campaign.

The game spans 36 hand-painted locations packed with hidden-object scenes and 36 mini-games and puzzles. A bonus prequel adventure adds additional storylines, more hidden-object content and further puzzles for collector's-edition completion. The art direction maintains Artifex Mundi's signature painterly fidelity, with gothic architectural detail and atmospheric lighting giving Lichtenheim a distinct identity within the franchise.
