Play Mystery Mansion (Eximius) (E) Online

Mystery Mansion is a 2008 Nintendo DS game developed by Eximius, a title that quietly joined the library of a system already rich with touch screen experiments and portable adventures. It arrived without much fanfare, a small puzzle focused release in an era where the DS welcomed all sorts of creative, niche projects. You explore the titular mansion room by room, each screen presenting a new self contained puzzle to solve before you can progress.

You control a cursor, tapping and dragging objects on the lower screen to interact with the environment displayed above. Your main objective is to uncover the mansion's secrets by finding keys, combining items, and solving logic puzzles that block doorways and drawers. Signature mechanics include using the stylus to physically manipulate objects, like turning a crank or sliding panels, and deciphering codes left in notes and journals scattered about. The pacing is deliberate, often demanding careful observation and patience over quick reflexes. It feels like being let loose in a large, intricate music box where every click and turn reveals a small new part of the mechanism.
