What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players universally panned this hidden object game for its poor execution across multiple fronts: the HO scenes suffer from dark, pixelated graphics that make items genuinely difficult to locate, confusing item labels, and frustrating design choices like multiple objects sharing the same name with only one being correct. Beyond the core gameplay issues, complaints extend to tedious puzzles, weak storytelling, technical problems in mini-games, and the overall sense that this entry represents a significant decline from the developer's earlier work in the series. Players overwhelmingly recommend
Without a doubt, this is a HOG. An remarkably mediocre one at that. There are better looking ones from even smaller companies for free so I'm not quite sure who their target audience is for this one. The HO scenes were just a cobble of stockphoto and 3D items repeated throughout each location. They really tested patience on the concept of "hidden", as if they actually didn't want you to find it. The items are labeled quite poorly, which I imagine someone who is ESL would struggle discerning objects. I also echo the sentiment of having multiple props of the same 'word' but only one is correct. A very strange choice if you ask me. But hey, is it a broken game? No. Can you finish it? Yes. Would you buy this with money? ...A resounding no unless it cost less than a handful of pennies. A rightful disappointment after multiple entertaining point and click games of the same title. Why would they put this on Steam?4 found this helpful
cannot select hidden objects in mini game waste of time really disappointing and frustrating dont know why steam continues to sell games that dont work. This is not the first time ive had similar issues1 found this helpful
Terrible...truly terrible. I wonder what happened at City Interactive to force them to produce such garbage? Their previous two Chronicles games were clever and entertaining and I have already written reviews recommending them. This is just an abomination as the puzzles are pathetic,the story-line is infantile, the music is annoyingly mundane, and well...basically everything is wrong. I'm guessing City Interactive didn't recoup their investment after releasing the first two in the series (the second was a lengthy production) and so they rushed out this atrocity. Well,I bought it decades later after enjoying the first two, so I am guessing many other people have done the same,felt very disappointed and come to the same conclusion as me.1 found this helpful
Timed hidden object mini games? Dark lighting, making it annoying for said hidden object mini games and finding interactable areas in the game? If this is what you like, then this game is for you. Otherwise, this one is a hard pass after 10 minutes.
Game has two major flaws: graphics for hidden object games are dark and somewhat pixelated, which makes items hard to see/find. Also some of the puzzles that require turning on/off objects are insanely difficult. Fortunately you can skip them, but I'd rather figure it out myself. Sadly I just feel like a monkey throwing darts. Game didn't age well.
Yep, terrible pixel-hunt HO scenes with poor graphics by today's standard. I didn't have the issues reported by others but it's dreary, there are no achievements or cards, the mini-games are bad and the story just ends unexpectedly. I saw a comment in the discussions that the creator split the continuation into a second game. Avoid this one.
