Showing Tonight: Mindhunters Incident

[b]Rating[/b] (out of 10) ★★ [b]Overview[/b] Showing Tonight is the first Hidden Object Game by Phime Studio. It's really bad. [b]Positive[/b] (good features) ✔ Unintentionally funny at points. [b]Neutral[/b] (average/expected features) ♦ Some of the Hidden Object Puzzles are okay. ♦ The environments are okay. [b]Negative[/b] (bad features) ✖ I got stuck on some 'unlock' screen the first time i launched the game. No clue why. ✖ Has the worst puzzle i've ever had the misfortune of encountering in a video game. ✖ Also has the second and third worst puzzles ever. ✖ The other puzzles are almost all bad. Some don't seem to work, some aren't even puzzles just busywork. ✖ The 'skip' button takes [i]over 90 seconds[/i] to load after you've started a puzzle. ✖ The game is about 2,5 long plus the 15-20 minutes you spend on waiting for the skip button to load. ✖ The "silhouette matching mode" is dreadful and i skipped each one as quickly as possible ✖ HOPs don't indicate when items require several steps to find/complete. ✖ Some HOPs show items you don't have to find.

I don't recommend this one, there are many other HOGs that are far better than this one. Skip this one unless you want to add it to your collection of HOGs.

The game is decent with shortfalls but doesn't deserve an overall negative review. The goth girlfriend is a big draw in but you barely get to see her through the game which was a bit disappointing along with the monsters that you only see for a few seconds each. Puzzles were sometimes confusing or had some weird logic. The silhouette mini games were actually kinda cool/different and the chapters all had a different unique location which was nice. Overall I like the plot of being stuck in a movie, the voice acting can be fun in a bad way, and the villain(and his sidekick Gravy) was cool.

Boring and pretty forgettable HOG. Can't really recommend. 100% in 8 hours.

Despite bad story it's a good game.

Pretty cool game
