First Time in Hawaii

I was nervous about buying First Time in Hawaii as several reviews mentioned game breaking bugs. I found it to be a good Hidden Object Game though and was able to complete it with 100% achievements.

[b][i]Casual hidden object game with interactive elements, puzzles and mini games. Travel to Hawaii and help your friend get ready for her wedding.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/u7QhC294G3w There are colorful, detailed search scenes. You need to find objects by names, shadow images, written words without vowels, find pairs without specifying names, etc. Scenes are placed on the screen. To see small objects, you can enlarge any part of the image and move it to the side. If you have any difficulties, you can use the hint. Each scene has interactive elements that require you to connect certain objects or solve a puzzle. If you replay scenes, the list of items changes. You can play with the whole family. Here you can create a separate profile for each player and select a difficulty level. + Beautiful detailed graphics and pleasant music. + Interactive elements and interesting riddles. + Replay value. + 30 different mini-games. + 4 difficulty levels. + There are tips. + Unlimited mode. + Interesting facts about Hawaii. + Wallpapers and soundtracks. + Achievements.

Unfortunately the game does no longer start an second time. You only get a black screen and is unplayable. Such a pity, I was really looking forward to this game. I already own the first installment and so enjoyed it. There is nothing left but to ask steam for an refund.

There is a market for hidden object / puzzle games held together with a twee story (quiet there at the back, you!) so long as they are chill, lazy, fuss-free and work properly. This one has many levels and quite a long playtime, the puzzles are ok as are the graphics and premise, for the target audience. It has several modes and decent replayability. But it commits a cardinal sin of having a game-breaking bug towards the end where a required object cannot be clicked, meaning the game cannot be finished and two achievements cannot be unlocked. If this ever gets fixed (it wont) I will update the review to positive. This was my first time in Hawaii and it sucked, time for me to head back to my happy place, Chingford.

Has bugs that prevent finishing the game and getting all achievements.

Game can get stuck in the Observatory HOG on the Biohazard symbol, might only happen if the cats are present. Biohazard symbol is not visible. Hint shows where it should be & Super Hint highlights the spot, but clicking there does nothing. Unable to progress in the Bonus story when this happens.
