Time Mysteries 3: The Final Enigma is a sequel of Time Mysteries 2: The Ancient Spectres.
You play as Ester Ambrose to save the world of an evil cataclysm that a hooded face wants to happen. She will need to time travel in order to be able to save the world and prevent the cataclysm to occur. And then begin a new journey for her.

As every Artifex Mundi game you can move freely in different area and need to solve some puzzles and find all objects in hidden objects scenes. The game has (different difficulties?) and a guest feature: every one of the family can play an independent save and resume the game where they left it. When you first play the game you’ll have a notebook where you have all your objectives as well as all your notes. You’ll also have a time travel device showing a map that allow you to fast-travel. Adding to that you’ll have a hint button that will help you in many ways but be warned that you may not use it in any puzzle or hidden object scene (HOS)or investigation scene (IS). Hints can be used to know where you need to go, where is the next interaction or to show an object or clue in an HOS or IS or to skip a puzzle. To conclude this part, you’ll also have an inventory to store useful items through your journey.

Puzzles are good and different. Hidden objects scenes (HOS) have only the classical one (as far as I remember): find objects hidden with the help of their name. Orange names mean that you need to interact directly with the scene or use an item in the scene.

One of the very good thing of this game is that there are 2 unique features you won’t find in any other Artifex Mundi game (except Time Mysteries):
• You’ll be able to freely move through time (and space) with your time travel device.
• You’re able to play a unique mini-game instead of the HOS. (I don’t really suggest it if you’re going for achievements though.)

To do so (to time travel) you’ll first need to find it (?) and to retrieve every token to be able to travel to specific dates.

And for the mini-game, as far as I recall I think that’s a matching game: you need to click on a chain of three or more adjacent balls to remove them. (The aim is to let some kind of token to fall out of the screen or to remove adjacent balls?) Each time you remove a token you remove also an item in the hidden objects list.

(*) :
In addition to no skip or use any hint while playing every puzzles and Hidden objects scenes, there are a few more missable achievements. Two of them requires you to complete a puzzle and a hidden objects scene under one minute. And 2 other hidden objects achievements ask you to find 3 objects within 3 seconds or to finish a scene with less than 4 misclicks.

Finally if you missed anything while finishing your first playthrough, you’ll need to play the game again. I guess but I’m not sure that you need to play on the same profile to get the “One of a kind” achievement.
