The platforming is none too tricky and you can’t die. MySims Agents is a 2009 mystery life simulation video game developed by The Sims Studio and published by Electronic Arts. Often you’ll be given clues that lead you to lofty places, so there’ll be much jumping and high-wire balancing. Not all utterances will be relevant but you’ll get the majority of your clues (which are stored in your notebook for later perusal) from nattering to the locals.
There are three key areas to the detective work. Search for clues, hack computers, pick locks and solve devious puzzles. Recruit other special agents to build your sleuthing dream team. Each level takes place in a different part of the game world – there’s a beach, a mansion in the bayou and an industrial area to name but a few – and involves solving a number of mini mysteries, which in turn will help you crack the bigger mystery. MySims Agents: Ready for a new MySims adventure Prepare to battle Morcubus, the lord of the criminal underworld. You start out as a no-name private dick before you’re recruited to the S.P.A., given a massive HQ to populate with fellow agents and asked to solve a big mystery concerning nefarious type Morcubus and an object called the Crown Of Nightmares. Although you can potter about the levels as you please, providing you’ve unlocked them, the story itself is fairly linear. Of the three main MySims games, this is easily the most story-orientated.
