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 SEASON OF MYSTERY: The Cherry Blossom Murders
I went in expecting typical hidden-object filler, but Season of Mystery hooks you with a premise that actually matters: your husband is dead, cops won't help, and you're the only one willing to dig. The game leans hard into atmosphere, planting you in evocative Japanese settings across a branching investigation. The catch is that "finding" clues means pixel-hunting through screens where a crucial item might be tucked behind a lantern corner or half-buried in foliage. If you enjoy that kind of challenge and don't mind the slow pace, there's real satisfaction in each discovery. It's not going to blow anyone away mechanically, and the story doesn't reinvent the revenge-mystery wheel. But for 2010 casual game standards, this is competent work from Square Enix that respects your time and doesn't spam artificial padding. Fans of old-school adventure game exploration will find something to like here, even if it's niche enough that you'll need patience to find information online.
