This is one of many games by Crisp App Studios that I have found available only on Steam. Although there are no instructions and no player profiles, it is very relaxing and a relatively basic HOS, except with this one you have the uniqueness of scrolling horizontally across the scenes in a 360 degree panorama to find items.

This is one of many games by Crisp App Studios that I have found available only on Steam. Although there are no instructions and no player profiles, it is very relaxing and a relatively basic HOS, except with this one you have the uniqueness of scrolling horizontally across the scenes in a 360 degree panorama to find items. You can use your mouse wheel as a zoom in for those hard to find items that are many times very well hidden. Graphics are very defined and colorful. There are circled question marks and circled magnifying glasses in all the scenes that you click on for information. Hints are plentiful and there is no timer. You will collect and use inventory items along the way of your journey through this atmospheric Wax Museum.

It is nice to see this game on BF and I hope to see more of them. If you like this type of HOS, then you may like to explore the other games by this same developer.

This is a good old-fashioned Hidden Object Game with features that are really entertaining. It's the kind of game people will love or hate, but I knew this was my kind of game when the demo ending took me by surprise...I wanted to keep playing, and I was disappointed that the game ended so I will definitely be purchasing this game today!

After an automobile accident, you set out on foot to seek shelter and stumble across an old abandoned Wax Museum. Naturally, you are curious and have lots of time to kill so you start snooping around and uncover a full-fledged mystery!

The first couple of levels weren't very exciting so I was prepared to play "just another ordinary Hidden Object Game" Once I encountered the 360-degree panoramic levels it was a game-changer and this ordinary Hidden Object Game just became extraordinarily unique!

The goal is to find all Listed Objects to earn 3-Stars, which is achieved by finding objects consecutively to earn points. After completing a level you will earn one, two, or three stars, and up to 4 trophy rewards, which is an incentive to Replay the level until you earn all four. (The Level Map shows all statistics, including the rewards earned on each level) The first award is achieved for Completing the level and earning a star, the second one is earned for Replaying the level, the third is for earning all 3-stars, and the fourth is earned for completing the level within 45 seconds, which BTW is the only Timed Level. (there is still no pressure, the timer is shown on the top right and stops the timer after 45 seconds while you complete the level, you'll just have to replay that mode if you want to earn the trophy)

Each Level is a Wax Museum Room, and each room has a theme, such as World War II, Revolution, Medieval, and the Stone Age...eventually, you will uncover 22 Rooms by finding inventory items to open or unlock the doors to gain access to the rooms. There is a Hint button that must recharge between uses that will show you the location of whichever object you click on in the List. There is also a Camera feature that will show a picture of the object selected from the list which is very helpful if you don't know what the Listed Object is, or when an object could be multiple variations such as a Bow. There is a limited number of "camera features" but you will earn more as you play the HO levels.

Some of the objects are blended into the scenery quite well, and when you replay a level, the items to find are different each time and new objects are added to the scene. The Panoramic scenes made the game interesting, and it added a unique challenge trying to find all the objects within 45 Seconds when replaying the scene to earn the last trophy. I know it's a Keeper for me personally when I get surprised by the demo's abrupt ending, it means I was totally engrossed and totally entertained!

There's always something interesting going on at my new forum! If you miss chatting with fellow fishies from the Big Fish Forum days then grab a thermos full of coffee, throw on your favorite jeans & t-shirt, and lace up your hiking boots...ah who are we kidding...just keep your comfy fuzzy slippers on, and come chillax with us by the fire at thewoodsforum.boards.net Show less

I recommend this game!

Crisp App thank you! Thank you for providing us with a hidden object game that is visually pleasing, a storyline that is mysterious(love it!), and not a "whole lot of flash without substance". You have restored my faith in what can be done in this genre. For players, if you want a good time and interesting game play, this is for you. Highly recommended

I recommend this game!

This is a purely hidden object. The setup is different in that one has panoramic, and zooms in or out with the center wheel button on one's mouse.

I've been so burned being presented with teasers, games, and puzzles under the guise of hidden objects, that when I first started I couldn't get my shoulders to relax. The environment is very masculine and similar to the teasers, games, and puzzles ...Show more

Breath is easy. I wish I had read my own comments. You will be in a pure hidden object environment. It's a big game. It starts with unlocking rooms. It then flows with masses of hidden objects. Show less

I enjoyed the game. Accessing different rooms and looking for what's needed to access the next room kept me moving forward. Unfortunately, when I finally made it to the point where I was ready to cast the spell to get rid of the evil, the screen goes black and doesn't come back.

The tutorial for the game is okay. What you miss in that you can figure out as you play the game.

It is a hidden object game in which the 360 degrees takes in sometimes a small amount of room, others a vast amount so some scenes take longer than others. Once you are finished you can pick the object you found and play the same scene again with different objects and try to improve your score, or ...Show more

you can choose to move on and play the next scene.

There is a story line of some type, but it is very difficult to figure out what it is....they keep it very MYSTERIOUS!!!

I cannot say how long it is but depending on your choices as to move ahead or replay it could be a long relaxing game.

I will purchase with the sale on today. Try the demo and enjoy! Show less

I didnt find the story line very exciting but in this type of HOG I really dont think its pertinent to the game.
Graphics were fine. Sound effects were kind of cheesy.

I haven't decided if I want to purchase the game (even with my free credit) only because I'm not sure how much more game play is there after the demo. There is no indication of how many levels to the game. If I knew there was a lot more after what I played in the demo, I would definitely buy this.

Not your typical HO game with the storyline that guides the game play. But with the lack of decent HOGs lately, it makes for a nice distraction. Show less

Unfortunately, apparently I had the same glitch as another person which made the screen go black just as I was about to chant the spell. I thought if I rebooted the game, it might allow me to end the game, but that didn't happen. The story was flimsy and I can only replay the levels just so many times. Therefore I only gave it 3 stars. Show less

The story is somewhat interesting, though not really original and pretty simple at that. It basically serves as just a framework for what is really a strictly Hidden-Object (HO) game. Thus, there are no puzzles, mini-games, even cutscenes, or any kind of voice-acting at all. The graphics are a bit dull, and the tutorial is really not very helpful...

The story is somewhat interesting, though not really original and pretty simple at that. It basically serves as just a framework for what is really a strictly Hidden-Object (HO) game. Thus, there are no puzzles, mini-games, even cutscenes, or any kind of voice-acting at all. The graphics are a bit dull, and the tutorial is really not very helpful... You are pretty much on your own, learning as you go. But the game is rather short. So you can always replay the game and try to get more out of it.

Speaking of replaying... I noticed that one of the other reviewers has complained about not being able to restart the game because there are no profile options. I do hope that person is reading my review because, while it is true that there are no player profiles in this game, the fact is that you CAN restart the game, any time you like! Just go to Settings from the Main Menu, and click on the green button "Clear Progress" in the lower-right corner. Be sure to Exit the game and then restart, if you would like to see the first three scenes that tell you the story: rushing to son's birthday, accident, etc. If you don't exit the game and try to play, the game WILL still start from the beginning. It just won't have those three story scenes. You are welcome. :)

In short, the game is okay if you are not looking for a lot of challenge, not interested in any real storyline, and would just like to play a series of very easy HO scenes. If that is what you are looking for, then Show less
