About This Game On a dark and stormy Halloween night, you find yourself standing before the gothic gates of Arcana Manor, the castle home of Doctor Arcana, the world famous magician who vanished several years ago. A strange force compels you to find a way in, but as soon as you set foot inside the mansion, the door slams shut behind you, sealing you inside the eerie manor house. A ghostly vision appears before you, presenting you with a challenge: Resolve a maze of riddles and perplexing puzzles, or be doomed to spend eternity locked inside the inescapable mansion. Do you dare accept the deadly challenge to discover the secrets that lie within The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana? Once you begin, there's no turning back.Features A captivating mystery set in the shadowy realm of magic and illusion. Over 50 perplexing puzzles, mind-bending mazes, and confounding conundrums. Original soundtrack by Nox Arcana. In-game art gallery featuring dozens of eerie works of art by Joseph Vargo. Detailed walkthrough from Doctor Arcana himself.The origins of Doctor ArcanaThe Cabinets of Doctor Arcana is a throwback to the early computer puzzle games like The 7th Guest, Shivers and Jewels of the Oracle. The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana was designed to have a very retro look and feel within a simple framework with minimal mouse controls. The end result is an effectively moody and entertaining game that evokes a haunting sense of nostalgia.The concept for the game began as a feature in Dark Realms Magazine published by Monolith Graphics in 2000. The feature created by Joseph Vargo was called The Cabinets of Doctor Arcana based on the title of the classic silent horror film The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari. In each issue, the condescending Doctor Arcana presented puzzles for the readers to ponder, then insulted the integrity of anyone who correctly solved them. This jeering humor carries over into the game as well. Players are subjected to taunting remarks from Doctor Arcana throughout their adventure, and lost souls who consult the in-game walkthrough, aptly named The Cheater's Compendium, will be scolded and ridiculed for doing so.Joseph Vargo developed the Doctor Arcana idea further on the Nox Arcana album, Theater of Illusion. The story centered around a secret society of magicians who possess actual magical powers and lurk in the hidden shadows of our world. I've always loved magic and magicians—the darker and creepier, the better. The concept seemed like a natural backdrop for an eerie adventure shrouded in mystery. In the game, players must explore this shadowy realm of magic and illusion and resolve a variety of devious puzzles to unlock Doctor Arcana's darkest secrets. The gauntlet of confounding conundrums consists of more than 50 logic puzzles, word puzzles, mazes, riddles and codes. For those seeking something more mentally stimulating than the usual arcade game or hidden object adventure, this is the game for you. b4d347fde0 Title: The Cabinets of Doctor ArcanaGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Monolith Graphics, The HideoutPublisher:Monolith Graphics, The HideoutRelease Date: 6 Oct, 2018 The Cabinets Of Doctor Arcana Crack walkthrough for the cabinets of doctor arcana. the cabinets of doctor arcana walkthrough. the cabinets of doctor arcana (game soundtrack). the cabinets of doctor arcana help. the cabinets of doctor arcana gameplay. the cabinets of doctor arcana cheats. the cabinets of doctor arcana download. the cabinets of doctor arcana hints. the cabinets of doctor arcana free download. games like the cabinets of doctor arcana. the cabinet of doctor arcana skidrow. the cabinets of doctor arcana solution. the cabinets of doctor arcana forum. the cabinets of doctor arcana review. the cabinets of doctor arcana download free. the cabinets of doctor arcana. the cabinets of doctor arcana steam. nox arcana the cabinets of doctor arcana Dear friend,I am writing this as a sole wish to leave behind at least some trace of my final acts, for tonight I am venturing into the unknown.I will tell you straight away \u2013 that message was to blame. The one brought to me in the middle of the night by the strange courier in the dark suit. I had never met the gentleman who sent it, though I had heard the rumors about him. He goes by the name Doctor Arcana. In this note, he promised me immense riches and fame, everything that my heart desires if I fulfill a single task. I am to be a guest in his Castle on the hill where I must spend one night. No, it is not that simple. By the morning, I must solve countless puzzles and answer many riddles. If all goes well, and I succeed, we will have enough money to buy the ghost refractor for Madame Nuit or even... my dear lad, I better not say... Yet, if I fail, I must remain in the Castle forever, endlessly searching for a way out.I know you would now ask me have I completely lost my mind to accept such terms \u2013 to even consider Doctor Arcana\u2019s mysterious challenge with its dangerous risks. You would ask me, and I wouldn\u2019t have the answer. At first, I just smiled to the pale man that brought me the invitation, thinking that someone was playing a joke on me, but then I looked closer at those papers. Shiny runes and magical symbols danced in front of my eyes, and dragged me with their power like the Moon with its phases does to the sea... and I said... yes.Some half hour ago, my mysterious host sent a carriage for me, and we began our journey to Arcana Manor. Forgive me for my penmanship, for the bumpy and narrow mountain road makes it difficult to write. City lights and concrete streets are far behind, my company now only being voices of night creatures. Wind howls through gnarled trees that loom above our path as the bitten crescent moon\u2019s silver allows me enough light to write these words.12:39 AMThank God I managed to get some sleep in the carriage, for who knows what tasks my host will have in store for me. We arrived at our destination and I stepped outside in the chilly witching hour. Stone walls surround the large estate, and in the middle, there was a black metal gate with a long spike in the middle and a huge letter \u201cA\u201d on it. I turned to my driver to ask if someone will come outside to get me, but he already tapped the horses\u2019 backs with the leather reins and the carriage disappeared into the night\u2019s mist.As I inspected my surroundings, I discovered a puzzle etched into the stone column beside the gate. Its design mirrored a family heirloom that I carried, an ancient amulet that had been left to me by my father. With the help of my amulet, I quickly resolved the puzzle, unlocking the gate. The ancient gate swung open with a groaning creak. With my invitation in hand and disquiet in my chest, I entered the courtyard. As I stepped forth I heard the ancient gate close and lock behind me.A gorgeous gothic mansion appeared before me, enshrouded in darkness and mist. It is made of dark red brick, with curved windows and one glass terrace in the middle. The left and right wing of the manor looked like towers with dark grey carvings and perfect domes with metal spikes in the middle. All the windows are sealed with iron bars. Even though the sight might conjure a deep sense of unease within the heart of some, I found Arcana Manor magnificent and the disquiet that I felt earlier completely vanished.I approached the front door only to find another puzzle sealing it closed. Once more, I used my amulet, activating the Egyptian design and quickly resolved the puzzle to unlock the door. The entrance hall was dark, save for the dim glow of orange light that beckoned me deeper into the shadows. The faint sound of a haunting melody that was somehow distantly familiar drew me inside without hesitation.Once inside, the entrance door slammed shut behind me, sealing me within the mansion. A masked vision appeared before me, the ghostly visage of the mysterious Doctor Arcana. He welcomed me to his home and explained the rules of his challenge. Thirteen skeleton keys were hidden throughout his mansion, locked away by diabolical puzzles and fiendish riddles. If I could find them all, they would unlock a priceless treasure. His words echoed through the hall as he spoke. I accepted his challenge, regardless of the risks involved, and the vision faded into the dark. 1:30 AMFor now, everything goes according to plan. My surroundings are fantastic and mesmerizing. With every step across beautiful marble floors and wide stairs, my eyes gazed upon priceless art on the blood red walls above. The paintings depict strange denizens of the supernatural realm \u2013 witches and warlocks and strange creatures of the night. I have unlocked many of the rooms on the main floor. Every chamber is furnished in a dark, gothic style. Magnificent stone fireplaces, ancient sculptures of mythical figures, lush tapestries and fine woodwork adorned with mystical carving. And above all that, the game that Doctor Arcana prepared for me, my dear friend, the game is miraculous! I have already solved several of the puzzles and riddles that awaited me and have discovered a number of hidden skeleton keys, but the puzzles are becoming increasingly difficult as I continue toward my final goal. I must complete Arcana\u2019s challenge if I am ever to escape this house alive.3:45 AMI am no longer sure of the words that I wrote to you two hours ago, dear friend. I am still enticed or, I can clearly say, bewitched and spellbound by my host\u2019s creations, for they are truly and deeply enchanting. On the other hand, the quests and tasks, to be honest, are becoming more complex as the night grows longer. Some of them seem to require more clues than I have discovered. Perhaps I will uncover more answers in later rooms. The puzzles that I could not resolve, I left for later. I am not quite sure, however, that \u201clater\u201d in a place like this even exists...5:03 AMI... can... hear him... clearly... now. He is... with me, right... next to me... inside me. His voice... is... overwhelming... taking away fragments... of my tormented... weary soul. Doctor Arcana made something marvelous here... his cabinets are timeless and mindbending, yet my being is overwhelmed with feelings that he might be The... No, no, that cannot be... I\u2019d rather not think that, let alone say it...My dear friend, leaving this message for you might be the last thing before... before his creations consume... everything. Now I know... there are slim chances that I will ever return from this amazing manor and the reason for that, though shocking, is actually quite simple.I do not intend to leave!Please, if my words get to you, join me on this wondrous quest. Visit me in The Cabinets of Dr. Arcana and remember this, dear friend. In here, you too can taste... eternity.Count Petrov Z.. VIsually stunning and unique puzzles! well worth the money!. Puzzles, puzzles, and more puzzles. They start pretty simple and then by halfway through the 13 keys you need to collect, the puzzles get more complex and challenging. The puzzles inside the rooms are unique, but the door puzzles to get into the rooms are variations of swap and rotate puzzle pieces to create a sigil. If you don\u2019t like those types of puzzles, this game is not for you. I like them, so I did them blind (without the sigil clue) to make them harder. None of the puzzle types were ones I hadn\u2019t seen before, but they were generally more complex in this game. Complex sometimes means more difficult and sometimes it just means the puzzles have a huge number of steps to solve them.I wasn\u2019t bowled over by this game, but as a puzzle lover, I did enjoy popping in and out of the game to get a puzzle fix and was satisfied to have finished it..
