Customer Reviews
As an avid player of games such as Gears Of War and GTA IV and the like, I was very surprised to find myself becoming utterly lost in this game:-Proving that you don't need continual, seizure inducing colours such as 'prostitute on fire orange' or 'decapitated alien blood fountain red' to keep the senses engaged.
This game doesn't require one to have the hand/eye co-ordination of a keyhole surgeon who spends his few spare hours as a concert pianist/mercenary sniper. Instead, all this game asks of you is to stare at a screen which initially may not sound like a hoot but is actually very engaging.
I am of course, over-simplifying. The aim of the game is to work your way through a mystery. The truth of the matter is, I could not for the life of me right now, tell you what the plot is even though I could look further up the page to find out. The 'story' such as it is is merely a reason to play through a series of puzzles, largely consisting of rooms filled with bric-a-brac, in which you have to find particular examples of said bric-a-brac before moving on to the next room or location filled with bric-a-brac.
Again, I'm being slightly glib because this is surprisingly addictive. Every member of my household, from advanced beat-em-up button masher to ludicrously convoluted RPG gamer jumped with delight at the simple pleasue of spotting an umbrella partially tucked away behind a toy car and a fish.
On a final note then? This game is very accessible to those who might not normally play them but from the other end of the spectrum, I can say that there is still a place for simple, uncluttered puzzling in the gaming world, even in this day and age.
THIS IS A GOOD GAME HOWEVER NOT AS SUPENSEFUL AS OTHER HIDDEN OBJECT GAME I PLAY BEFORE. STORYLINE WAS FINE BUT NEEDED MORE BUILT-UP. STILL HAD A LOAD OF FUN FINDING OBJECTS THROUGH OUT THE GAME.
