About 9 Clues 2: The Ward
"The Ward" is the second installment in the 9 Clues series, in which a young detective and her partner respond to a distress call from a psychiatric hospital on a secluded island.
The island is isolated by freezing waters and constant, brutal storms. Upon the detectives’ arrival, one of the hospital’s therapists falls out of the window to his death.
As their investigation begins, the detectives learn much darker things are happening at Mnemosyne Asylum than they could have guessed. None of the patients are willing to speak about the devastating fire that engulfed the hospital four years ago, or the fire’s victims. The staff do everything they can to obscure the asylum’s past, and keep the façade of peace and order intact.
Each new clue only raises more questions. Who killed Doctor Crow? What drove one of the male nurses insane? Who is Zed Rascov? Why is the name of a little girl, Ginger, carved into the wood-paneled wall of the dead doctor’s office?

The game worked and had some good puzzles, so I will recommend this because that's not something you can always take for granted. However, it wasn't good. The story was awful, I didn't like the protagonist, and the "twist ending" with the psychopath turning out to be a psychopath was not even funny enough to justify itself.1 found this helpful
** Game finished ** Better from the first in series. For casual gaming in the afternoons. 6/10 Ratings (0-3 Don't bother @ all) (4-7 The Average) (8-10 One of the best) Posted March 7, 20261 found this helpful
Its a very nice hidden objects games. if you like hidden objects you really like this game there is even a 2 one to go with this one.
I haven't played the game in many years, but I remember one thing that made me not enjoy the game. Because majority of the voice cast have nothing special about their voices and are pretty mundane, the story flows without anyone standing out or drawing attention to themselves, It leaves a sense of mystery while you are uncovering the truth. You can't tell how the characters are going to act based on their voices only. However, one character sounds like Junkrat from Overwatch. That kind of voice insantly reveals [spoiler]he is going to be a bad guy.[/spoiler]. This happens quite early in the game and ruins the excitement of uncovering the truth. I guess the intention was to "typecast" a distinct voice that reflects the character, but the voice is too stereotypical of [spoiler]an "insane" person[/spoiler]. It's hard to take the character seriously. It doesn't fit well with this type of game. With all of this combined, it's easy to guess how the character is going to impact the story. The fact that he's portrayed as [spoiler]"simply insane"[/spoiler] doesn't change the impression you've already gotten . He still sounds like [spoiler]a calculating villain.[/spoiler]. They should h…
Solid hidden object game, with some jumpscares and decent puzzles.
Another surprisingly very good hidden object game with a great spooky atmosphere. Bit of a shame it's not a direct sequel to the first one, but it's a decent story nonetheless with good characters, even if the main villain was cartoonish to the extent of being slightly boring near the end. Also a shame we'll probably never get another game in the series, but hey. Wouldn't say it's worth the asking price, but definitely worth picking up and playing if it's on sale for about £3 or so.
