To be honest I enjoy it. Does repeat some images and the items but still fun. Helps you focus. Kind of ASMR. And it does have a cheat button if you can't, truly, find an item.

Beautiful, relaxing game. I am amazed at how details these beautiful drawings are, I could get lost in them for hours (in a good way). Highly recommended!
Not recommended Feb 24, 2025
Although I have enjoyed the game so far, every time I try to play, the game is stuck on level fife of the 8 level area. I have to do a hard stop to get out of the game. Also I am unable to post this in the discussions.

If you like HOG's you're going to really like this one.

A good little game with an original style. I got 3 hours of play from it, so I wish it had more levels! But it's a worthy investment for an evening of fun, as the paintings make it 'not your typical hidden object'.

I love this game! It’s incredibly promising, but there are a few issues: - I can’t move through the paintings. I’m stuck in one part of the painting and can’t navigate to another corner. I’ve tried using WASD, the arrow keys, and the mouse, but nothing seems to work. - There doesn’t appear to be a button to exit the game. Despite these issues, it’s still a really good game! I’m excited to see more puzzles added in the future!
