Hidden Mysteries: Civil War

Alright, I am no stranger to Mystery P.I. games... Which is what this reminds me of... BUT... I can't freaking see anything! Even on the Full Screen everything is so... So TINY! WAH! And the lag... I am patient... But man... I don't know how to find majority of the items if they are smaller than an atom. EH!

What started as a strange mix of history and fictional elements became a Mandela Effect detour into an alternate timeline. And I am not sure if the narrative was supposed to truly represent the alternate history within the investigator's timeline, or illustrate the dangers of trying to assemble an understanding of history by finding random pieces of trash, bugs, and household sundries while trespassing at small Civil War museums. As much as teachers may warn you not to learn history from Wikipedia, there is a much worse source certainly. There is also a strange morality/immorality narrative being uncovered during the investigation which culminates in an act of happenstance plunder that should raise an eyebrow. So, if you are considering buying this because you think it will give you faithful history and true stories of people from the Civil War – do not buy. If you would like to mildly challenge your grip on reality and ability to find hidden objects, $5 seems a reasonable post-COVID-inflation price to pay. However, you are probably only going to get 2-3 hours of playtime start to finish, so take that into account too.

Great game

This little gem is great, yes it's old I would buy on sell but if You enjoy history it's a nice relaxing game. It is not the easiest to see all objects sometimes but I have not had to use any hints so far

Different every time it is p;ayed

So not worth the cost
