Platinum #281: Dark Arcana: The Carnival


Hey there!

Currently, I’m on an Artifex Mundi run. So, expect a few more posts about their games in the near future.

What is the game all about?
Dark Arcana: The Carnival is a Point & Click by Artifex Mundi, released for PS4 in 2017.
You’re tasked to find a missing woman in the Carnival of Horrors. At the beginning, this carnival doesn’t differ from other but once you enter the Hall of Mirrors, you find yourself in another dimension. In this dimension, you will uncover the secret of an ancient being called the Evil One.
To proceed through the game, you must complete a few mini-games as well as some Hidden Object Puzzles (HOPs). Alternatively, you can also switch to Shanghai, if you don’t want to play HOPs. In my point of view, Shanghai is easier than HOP.
As every other game by Artifex Mundi, Dark Arcana: The Carnival has 2 difficulties and after beating the main story once, you unlock a short side story. This side story give you some additional background information.

What about trophies?
To unlock the Platinum Trophy, you must beat the game on each difficulty, beat all HOPs, every Shanghai game as well as all mini-games without using hints and beat the side story. For this, you need two full playthroughs. On one, you need to beat the main story playing HOPs only and on the other one, you must play Shanghai only.
If you want to get this game done as quick as possible, I recommend using this walkthrough from casualgameguides.com.

Where can I get this game?
Dark Arcana: The Carnival is available digital only and can be found in the EU and NA store. There’s only one stack for this game.
If you need PSN cards, you can buy them at play-asia.com or at scdkey.com. There you get digital codes, which will be send to you via e-mail within minutes.

As a trophy hunter, should I get this game?
Yes. In general, every game by Artifex Mundi is good when you’re up for an easy Platinum Trophy.
