Hidden Object Bundle 4 in 1

A very nice collection of old-school hidden-object adventures. The games are definitely dated, but the stories and atmosphere still hold up surprisingly well. Stray Souls: A Dollhouse Story is the horror game of the group. I liked the creepy locations and unsettling atmosphere, although I thought the story could have been stronger. It was still fun for a short evening of gaming. House of 1,000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster: Probably the best traditional adventure in the bundle. Great locations, interesting supernatural story, good voice acting, and plenty of puzzles. Dark Strokes: Sins of the Fathers has a darker atmosphere and a surprisingly interesting story. The ruined city and supernatural elements give it a distinctive look, and the mystery kept me interested. Some of the puzzles are fairly easy, but the overall presentation is solid. Eternal Journey: New Atlantis is easily my favorite. It has the most unusual premise, excellent environments, and a nice mixture of historical mystery and science fiction. It feels like more effort went into making the adventure feel like a proper story rather than simply a collection of hidden-object scenes. Overall, this is a bund…

I played the clown game when I was little and it still spooks me sometimes. fun if you like a good story and hidden object game.

The games are relaxing, yet quite engaging. The stories are well put together - as is the route to solving the puzzles. Graphics are nicely done, with a few animations to raise the immersion factor. All in all this is a really good set of games, with ONE problem. The 'Eternal Journey' game has to be played in 5 minute sessions, as there appears to be a large memory leak, that causes my entire rig to freeze. I have to reboot my system and can't even use task manager to get out as the system is literally out of memory. As I have 48GB my machine should be able to play a dozen of these games at once. That's my only small gripe, an albeit very annoying gripe. Otherwise a lovely set of puzzle.

great adventure story

Can't beat this bargain, containing 4 games for $4.35. I enjoy this genre of hunting and seeking, though the newer editions in this collection help you out when you have to backtrack to use that key, shard of glass, crowbar or other relic you just found but you can't remember where it is to be used. That said, keep a notepad or use the hint button a lot.

Great game
