Black Rainbow Mystery: Amazon Escape

Awful game. Not a Hidden Object game at all- a Point & Click game with hidden collectibles and puzzle pieces you have to run around picking up. You have to play it twice to get the final achievement (Finish the game- any mode *except Challenge Mode* or Finish the game in Challenge Mode.) And honestly- it's not fun or interesting enough to play twice. One achievement will remain locked. The story is bad, really bad. The game freezes and locks up at times, for no apparent reason (no crash logs or error reports generated). I played on a fairly beefy rig- Windows 10 64 bit, i9 11900K, RTX 3080 Ti, 32 GB RAM. The game does not stutter- it just locks up during or after some interactions, and I had to shut it down via Task Manager since the game was unresponsive and all buttons because unclickable. Graphics are pretty bad, animations are pretty bad. Voice acting sounds like they paid random people off the street with an offer of a free lunch if they read some lines, and then told them after they got them in a locked room that it was going to be 3 day old KFC with cold mashed potatoes and no gravy.

I love redheads.

Some puzzle types were repeated, some were fun and others were a bit tedious but nothing too hard to complete. The story is extremely weak (especially the ending) but the premise was OK. Wish the audio could be adjusted without restarting the game each time.

Black Rainbow Mystery: Amazon Escape is a hidden-object adventure developed and published by Cateia Games that transports players into a supernatural interpretation of the Amazon rainforest. The game blends classic point-and-click mechanics with a mysterious narrative centered around a dark phenomenon known as the “Black Rainbow.” As players step into the role of a determined explorer, they are thrust into a burning village and quickly drawn into a larger mystery involving ancient curses, forgotten rituals, and secrets buried deep within the jungle. The premise sets the tone for a story-driven journey that prioritizes atmosphere and puzzle-solving over action. The core gameplay follows familiar hidden-object adventure conventions. Players explore richly detailed environments, searching for specific items within cluttered scenes and using collected objects to unlock new areas or solve environmental puzzles. Inventory management plays a steady role throughout the experience, requiring players to combine items and apply them logically to obstacles encountered along the way. Mini-games are interspersed between hidden-object sequences, offering variety through pattern recognition, matc…

I said I'd recommend this... but really only if you didn't have any other games of this type to choose from. Graphics and interface are dated now, voice acting (while present) is kind of wonky in that everyone has very Americanized voices - even natives from another dimension. The game is also filled with achievements you can miss, and you are forced to play the game twice in order to get all achievements which is a pet peeve. 5 out of 10 rainbows.

Tentative recommendation. This is a short casual ADVENTURE game. There are no hidden object scenes. Around halfway through I relied heavily on the compass (map / fast travel) to get to the next spot and know where the next interaction place was. It's not a hard game though, I just kept getting lost. The voice acting is like if they all were auditioning for a meditation CD. It's worth the fun distraction on discount as long as you're all right with no HO scenes.
