About Theatre Of The Absurd
Scarlett Frost, specialist in the dark arts has been summoned to a luxurious and remote theatre in the snowy Italian Alps. Could it be that the infamous and diabolical Hapsburg Cube has been found and purchased by the sinister theatre proprietor, Dr. Corvis ? The cube is said to imprison a powerful and ancient Babylonian demon that would wreak hellish destruction if the cubes should break.
In a moment of desperate confusion the cube breaks and the demon bursts forth into the souls of the Dr. Corvis and his young Daughter Bethany.

Actually not bad at all. The hidden object puzzles were challenging in the way they blended the objects into the background and environment, and I enjoyed that a lot. It doesn't have a map but it's not a problem at all because it's not a big game at all. The story is pretty basic with elements of horror. I absolutely love how they implemented the hints and abilities system and tied it into the story. I enjoyed the 2.5 hours I spent with this game and I would absolutely recommend grabbing it when you see it on sale.6 found this helpful
Theatre Of The Absurd, developed by Gogii Games and published by Strategy First, is a hidden-object adventure that blends supernatural mystery with gothic theatrics. Set in a snowbound estate high in the Italian Alps, the game casts players as Scarlet Frost, a specialist in the occult summoned to investigate the aftermath of a mysterious artifact’s destruction. What begins as an inquiry into a shattered relic quickly spirals into a battle against a malevolent force that has taken hold of those within the estate. The narrative embraces melodrama and supernatural intrigue, building an atmosphere that is intentionally eerie and slightly surreal. The story unfolds through a mix of environmental exploration, journal entries, and animated cutscenes. Rather than presenting a tightly structured thriller, it leans into the dramatic and theatrical tone suggested by its title. Occult symbolism, ancient curses, and shadowy corridors form the backbone of the setting. While the narrative occasionally feels fragmented or overly cryptic, its commitment to gothic mood helps sustain engagement. The mystery itself serves more as a vehicle for exploration than a deeply layered plot, but it provides e…1 found this helpful
I'm sorry, but this was one of the most boring hidden object games I have ever played. The art was wonderful, but that's where it stops. The story did not make much sense, the puzzles were the same thing over and over, and it was short. I would not recommend this game.
Standard point and click hidden object game with absurdly silly acting. The game is dated, but was still enjoyable. At least until a game breaking bug late game. When gathering jeweled scrolls for one of the last sections, if you place them before collecting all of them, they just disappear, and there's no way to advance the game. It was mildly enjoyable until then, but there's no way I'm repeating the entire game again. So, this game gets a "meh" at best from me.
A wholesome hidden object game. Very fun.
