Maupiti Island English guide now available
I recently finished playing through Maupiti Island on Twitch. It’s a point-and-click detective mystery game, and a sequel to Mortville Manor. It was originally released for Amiga in 1990, then for DOS and Atari ST in 1991. It has beautiful graphics, a unique text-to-speech system, and an intriguing mystery the player must unravel. It’s also considered by some to be the most difficult adventure game ever made.
It took me 145 hours to finish the game—30 streams that were almost 5 hours long each. I took many pages of notes and drew several maps and diagrams. I really enjoyed the experience, but this is a lot to expect of people.
Fortunately, I had an incredibly helpful guide, Dronon. They only offered subtle, obscure hints when I felt like I needed them, but that was exactly what I wanted. They have now written an extensive English guide for the game, so you can enjoy it exactly the way you want. If you just want to know whether you’ve found every clue at a particular location, or you want all the secrets spelled out for you, this guide has you covered. This is the first extensive English guide written for the game, and it even includes some information you won’t find in earlier French guides for the game.
If you enjoy challenging detective mystery games, I highly recommend Maupiti Island. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
