Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual
I went in expecting a forgettable adventure game, but Chronicles of Mystery surprised me. You play as archeologist Sylvie Leroux, investigating a mystery that spirals from academic curiosity into genuine danger. The puzzle design is straightforward without being insulting, mostly inventory combinations and environmental logic that feel earned rather than arbitrary. The story doesn't overexplain itself, which keeps pacing snappy. What holds it back is the execution. Visuals are serviceable 2009 3D, and voice acting is passable but thin. The UI feels clunky, and some inventory puzzles rely on trial-and-error rather than clarity. If you loved old LucasArts adventures or enjoy slower-burn mysteries, this scratches that itch. Just don't expect production values to match the premise.
