    Such familiar elements come together to make a pretty enjoyable experience, even if it does mean that The Trace is rarely challenging. It’s more a title to enjoy the experience of than expect to be flummoxed by. By being relatively simple it’s also fairly short, but $4.99 still remains a perfectly reasonable price to pay as it’s satisfying to play through.

    The truly rewarding moments in The Trace are exploring its gorgeous, accessible world and feeling like you are a physical part of it. Opening a door and not knowing what lies behind it; looking around a single room from different angles; finding clues because you have actually moved, unlocked, or turned your way to them. Its question-and-clue answer system is a clever way to tackle the multi-part mystery without overloading the player or sacrificing case complexity.

    The Trace has so many genres mixed in that it'll be hard for mobile gamers not to enjoy at least some part of the game. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with it and, even though I had to swipe a few too many times, I was engaged throughout. So, if you enjoy puzzle games, hidden object games, crime-solving games, or all of the above mixed in one, I have just the right number of dead bodies for you.

    Peccato solo per una certa piattezza generale nella caratterizzazione degli scenari, dei personaggi e della storia che non contribuisce ad un'immersione totale nel gioco, non offrendo spunti particolarmente interessanti sul piano narrativo. In ogni caso, i meccanismi del gameplay funzionano in maniera ottima. Segnaliamo peraltro che il gioco è completamente tradotto in italiano per quanto riguarda i testi.
