The bright shiny sparkles that light up this infinite canvas at night was like bliss to her eyes. During the day, she raved to her imaginary friend, Nix, about the spectacle she saw every night and vowed to become an astronomer as soon as possible. Many moons passed and Diana kept her promise and indeed became a spy of the Milky Way. One incredible night at the observatory, she and her colleague identified a meteor on a weird trajectory; it was definitely destined to crash into Earth! Could it be her breakthrough or something sinister? You are about to find out in Beyond Light Advent! Beyond: Light Advent Collector’s Edition is a casual / adventure / hidden objects game where you play an astronomer named Diana. She will embark on a journey to save the earth against Nor, an alien World Eater. Before you start the game you must choose between four levels of difficulty; fro…

This was a fun game, in my opinion. The plot was good, the voice acting was probably the best I've heard in a HOG, and the mini-games and HOG scenes were decent. Take note, however, that many of the HOG scenes were the type where you are shown the silhouette of an item. Personally, I hate that type because it can be difficult, if not impossible, to determine what the item is simply based on its overall shape. Also, several of the mini-games weren't really games at all, but were simply 'click here, here, and here', 'trace this line', etc. In the end, it kept me entertained for about 10 hours, so I'd say it was money well spent. Note that there are achievements, but they seem to be in-game achievements only, not Steam achievements. One of the things I really liked about this game was that after you finish the game, you can go into the Extras menu to finish the collectibles hunt (find collectibles you missed while playing the game) and to replay hidden object scenes (to collect the morph objects and to reduce your time and inrease your accuracy) to unlock the achievements.

One of the best HOGs I've ever played (and I've played quite a few)

You are an astronomer. It seems to be sometime in the 1950’s (based on cars at the drive-in). A meteor suddenly streaks in, lighting up the sky. You start tracking it, and find it is not a meteor, but a spaceship! And you discover the pilot is your “imaginary” alien friend from childhood. And he came to save your world… from invasion. Plot is decent, HO scenes fun, and the minigames challenging. The characters are decently put together. Worth a play. Might want to get on discount, though.

I really like this game hope to find more like it !

Another win for Mad Head studios. This is what a HOP should be like in 2020! Keep it up!
