Mountain Trap 2: Under the Cloak of Fear

"Mountain Trap 2: Under the Cloak of Fear" is a Hidden Object puzzle game, the type you normally see on mobile app stores or even as browser apps. There's literally hundreds of these on Steam, mostly published by Artifex Mundi, many of them free on mobile app stores, but this one will cost you money on Steam. There's a English countryside detective theme to the game, but this is a just a veneer over a tired and overdone set of hidden object minigames and Adobe Flash tier puzzles, wrapped together with a bunch of static screens that you "move" through by tapping your finger on your iPhone screen.

It is clearly designed for players who enjoy methodical puzzle solving and a sense of creeping unease built through environment and implication rather than overt horror. The story unfolds in the troubled town of Wilshere, where a string of unsettling disappearances has left the community gripped by fear and suspicion. Rather than presenting a fast-moving or cinematic plot, the game invites players to piece together the mystery gradually by exploring locations, questioning characters, and uncovering fragments of information embedded in everyday surroundings. The narrative tone is somber and restrained, focusing on psychological tension and the lingering presence of something wrong beneath the town’s quiet exterior. This approach cr…
