Troika’s Arcanum and Bloodlines Return as a Misleadingly Titled Game

October 2, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

Two Arcanum games for the price of a single hidden object game? What?

Big Fish Games and other digital retailers are selling a game in the "hidden object game" genre that carries the dangerously misleading title of "Sister's Secrecy: Arcanum Bloodlines" by Space Monkey Games Factory, a studio which doesn't appear to have a website of its own.

For those who don't know, the game's subtitle—"Arcanum Bloodlines"—bears strong resemblance to two well-known Troika role-playing games that were popular a decade ago, the steampunk title Arcanum, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

The game's description bears little to no resemblance to the games whose names they've taken:

Sister's Secrecy: Arcanum Bloodlines Ariel and Belle are twin sisters abandoned at a very early age. The two were inseparable as they could predict the future but some visions haunted them as well – strange apparitions, like echoes from a childhood they never knew. With time, Ariel distanced her mysterious reveries Belle was unable to do so.

One ominous moonlit night, Belle disappeared. Follow Ariel to the ends of the earth as she looks for Belle and ultimately uncovers a deep family secret. Who are the "guardians" she has uncovered and how do they connect to the parents that abandoned them long ago? Search through beautiful and desolate locations for answers, meet strange people, solve enigmatic puzzles, and play captivating mini-games to find answers in a magical town that time forgot.

The artwork itself appears fairly original, so it's curious as to why the developer chose to name the title after Troika's two RPGs.

Thanks Nathan.
