I get frustrated with games that list as Hidden
Object games and turn out to be run-around games with very few HOSs.
This game has great music, a story line that you can follow if you want or skip with a click.
The objects are tricky to find. They can be in shadow, rotated, overlarge, in the distance, and one per location will require interaction. The scenes/objects are cleanly and clearly

Most recent hidden object games have you going back and forth, back and forth, gathering silly items in one place to use on another silly item in a different place. Secret Investigations is pure hidden object with a few mini-games thrown in. Each scene is different; no repeats, but you have the challenge of getting 3 stars in each scene so I replay them until I do. If you enjoy searching for ...Show more

Hidden objects used to be fun, until they got hijacked in adventure games so we could look at garbage piles.
This is how it used to be and quite fun it is. You need to pay attention, look carefully. It is timed, but if your time runs out, you get to do it again. And this time, you know where a few things are. It is a wonderful way to while away a rainy day.

And you can do one case a day, so stretching out the fun for several days.
There are plots, more or less, but they are not so gripping that you cannot cut off in the middle and return later.
Good visuals, and some things are a bit tricky to find. Some minigames added.

If you like hidden object, with less action and reading, you will love this game, as I did. It is just that, a real hidden object game.

Sometimes it's nice to have a break from HOPAs and go back to the more classic types that are just level after level of hidden objects. This is that type of game.
Objects are a mix of easy to find and well hidden, with a special object that needs interaction. There are bonuses to help you and 3 stars to play for. The stars were useful early on, as after a few levels you needed a certain amount ...Show more

Objects are a mix of easy to find and well hidden, with a special object that needs interaction. There are bonuses to help you and 3 stars to play for. The stars were useful early on, as after a few levels you needed a certain amount of stars to proceed. There is a timer, but you can carry on playing if timed out and move on or replay if you want to.
The storyline so far is a bit "meh". Text only, and quite fast, so speed read, if you can!
I didn't come across any bonus levels or mini-puzzles during the demo but I did enjoy the game enough to purchase. Show less

Its so refreshing to see the old style of HOs. Being an elderly person, I was hoping someone would create HOs without all the inventories. I like simple fun.

It's HOG with a Twist: you have to find all the objects in a certain amount of time or replay .I loved the demo, loved that the HOG's got harder the farther along you got. You cannot advance to the next adventure until you earn a certain number of stars, but you can go back and replay a game multiple times. When the artist gets sneaky about item placement, you may need to. Just about the time you ...Show more

You cannot advance to the next adventure until you earn a certain number of stars, but you can go back and replay a game multiple times. When the artist gets sneaky about item placement, you may need to. Just about the time you think this is infant-schooley and dull, something is hidden that takes TIME to find. Storyline could use a bit of punch, but then, most folks who are HOG crazy ignore the stories in a rush to find things. Show less
