Hidden Ghost Town

This is a ridiculously overpriced HOG that often receives a 95% discount to lure in every possible Steam user. The game is short and very barebone - it looks ugly and the objects are too well hidden. Just because there is a hint in the upper-left corner it doesn't really help much. If you look at the library of games from Hede you come across a lot of similar software. Overpriced but regularly (and heavily) discounted items that can all be considered asset flips. And, naturally, hiding behind the "early access" approach makes sales increase faster. Please try to steer clear of this "developer" if you can.

A horrible, horrible cash grab. Isn't worth a single penny.

As with the other games from this dev stable there is very little thought or understanding gone into the creation of this HOG at all. It is just a different picture with different objects to find, simply woven over the same faulty code they used in their other HOGs. The fact that all these games share the same bugs and issues with control and faulty U.I. speaks volumes toward a sloppy game turn out with little or no care and attention to the comments of the players. Surely this is the height of arrogant game production whereby the game has all the same issues and no new benefits from previous games. Even the steam achievements are not calculated correctly!

Hidden Ghost Town is a Unity asset flip from repeat offenders at Hede. Hede shows a repeat pattern of dumping Unity assets and minimum viable products on Steam as a cash grab, trying to scam people into paying them for the work of others. Treating PC gamers like this, scamming gamers, simply isn't acceptable. This one is abandoned early access, it's incomplete, but Hede realise they can just dump incomplete asset flips on Steam and still get paid, mostly by dumping this into cheap shovelware bundles (as if this was a complete game, another deception), to extract as much money as possible from something that barely counts as a game, and isn't even finished. Pretending this garbage is an actual game, it's an ultra bare bones "hidden object" game where you're presented with a static image, you scroll around, and see the target object and click on it. That's it. Less interactive than a web page. And the footprint is over 10GB! Why? Because Hede are also terrible at being asset flippers and load this up with a bunch of other assets that never get used. Pure, unadulterated garbage. There's a completely ridiculous $20 USD price tag, the same price tag that would get you actual,…

Hidden Ghost Town is a casual hidden-object puzzle game created by Hede using the developer’s proprietary HEDE Game Engine and published by Hede. Like many titles in the studio’s catalog, the game focuses on simple observation-based gameplay rather than complex mechanics or narrative progression. The player’s main objective is to explore a series of static environments set within a mysterious abandoned town and locate objects that are cleverly concealed within each scene. Designed primarily as a relaxing puzzle experience, the game emphasizes patience, attention to detail, and visual scanning rather than fast reactions or strategic planning. The setting revolves around a quiet ghost town that appears frozen in time. Although the game does not present a fully developed narrative, the atmosphere suggests that the town once held a lively community before being mysteriously deserted. Empty streets, abandoned houses, and quiet buildings create an eerie but intriguing environment for players to explore. Instead of delivering a story through dialogue or cinematic sequences, the game relies on environmental curiosity, allowing players to imagine what might have happened to the town as the…
