Blend hidden-object puzzle gameplay with genuine investigative work, eerie atmosphere, and a complex mystery filled with unexpected twists.

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is an original hidden-object puzzle-adventure game, featuring a totally unique Detective Mode. This thrilling mystery merges elements of classical horror and gritty, 50’s-style noir.
A paranormal private investigator is contacted by her friend, famous reporter Helen Hunter, whose voice sounds small and terrified in the voicemail. She is in the coastal town of Serpent Creek, and needs help immediately.

✦ AI summary

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek offers an engaging hidden-object mystery with a compelling atmosphere, intriguing story, and solid detective gameplay that keeps players invested in solving the case. The main criticism centers on the value proposition, with some players feeling the asking price is steep for what the game delivers, while others also note historical accuracy issues that break immersion. Most players find it enjoyable and worth playing, though waiting for a sale may be wise given the cost concerns.

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is a fun hidden-object mystery with a surprisingly atmospheric setting. The strange, fog-covered town of Serpent Creek immediately gives the game a mysterious feeling, and I enjoyed exploring it while trying to figure out what was happening. The investigation is the strongest part of the experience. There are plenty of clues to find, objects to examine, and puzzles to solve. I especially liked the detective elements, which make the game feel like more than simply searching for hidden objects. Enjoy :)

Great game Great story and Would recommend
Not recommended Jul 28, 2026
I rate this game a 0/10 because of its terrible attention to detail. The developers claim the story takes place in the 1950s, yet the enviroments are full of technology and items from the 1980s that shouldn't even exist yet. This total lack of historical accuracy completely ruined the immersion for me.
