Yesterday's point and click game was rather bleak, but Fetch is a colorful game with an adventurous storyline that will break your heart while giving you hope. This is a futuristic story about a boy and his dog, living in a city where every aspect seems to be controlled by an untrustworthy corporation, Embark. Dogs of every shape and size are disappearing, and authorities are baffled, but the disappearances seem to be connected to Embark's newest invention, the new Hydrant 2.0. When Bear becomes the Hydrants latest victim, this brave little boy will let nothing stand in his way!

Just about everything in this adventure game can be interacted with, I even earned an Achievement for popping every bubble on a piece of bubblewrap! This is the kind of game that makes you think and pay attention. There are clues to discover, and interactions that you must figure out, sometimes by trial and error in order to progress. This is not a hand holding kind of game, however there is a built in Strategy Guide in case you get stuck.

There are various Arcade game machines you will come across during your search for Bear, and you will have to successfully play and beat the game in order to receive your prize which is needed to progress. For example, the first arcade game requires shooting monsters in the eyes and meteors that bombard you, which gives you a cold water laser, which is needed to activate the Hydrant.

There are a whopping 130 Concept Art pictures available, which are actually interesting to scroll through because they show just how talented the artists truly are. There are 50 Achievements to earn, some of which are earned for just interacting with the scene as I mentioned before. You will also need to collect the 42 Dog tags you find along the way that belong to the missing dogs, including poor Bear, I suspect these are needed at some point to recover the missing dogs. This is a different kind of game, there are no HOP's and really nothing to guide you to do what you need to do, the cursor doesn't change to say pick me, but once you get the hang of it, I think you'll enjoy the heartwarming story.

The creators of Fetch also worked on the beloved Drawn series which is immediately clear from the gorgeous artwork. This is a straight point and click adventure with no HOs, but don't let that deter you from trying out this beauty. The charming storyline of a boy trying to save his dog is just a bonus. Challenging game play interspersed with fun arcade-style gaming.

I recommend this game!

I beta-tested this game just last week and absolutely loved it. It is NOT a HO game at all which is one reason why I liked it so much. It is solely an adventure game--which we seem to get too few of, in my opinion. Give this one a chance, and expect something different and wonderful. Put on your thinking caps!

I recommend this game!

I nearly gave up on Big Fish Games as EVERY other New Game on this site is a "Hidden object" Drama. Sooooo boring!

Fetch is innovative, fun and refreshing. Cute graphics, Sweet story and loads to do. Love the on board Strategy guide although only needed it a few times.

More like this please BF!

Fetch, developed by Big Fish, is an adorable and lighthearted game that includes strategic elements, puzzling mechanisms, exploration and adventure, and arcade-style games. These are cleverly woven together with an engaging storyline.

Our hero, whom we control with the mouse, is a young boy whose best friend is his dog, Bear. They live in a world dominated by Embark, a giant corporation that appears to have a monopoly on everything. Oddly, people’s dogs have been disappearing recently. When the boy takes Bear out for walkies, Bear is pup-napped by an Embark robot masquerading as a fire hydrant. The brokenhearted boy bravely sets off to follow the miscreant’s trail and rescue his furry pal.

Gameplay is challenging, as the boy’s progress is repeatedly blocked by obstacles of varying types. For some, the solution is fairly obvious, and all required actions occur on one screen. For others, the solution requires a complication series of actions on multiple screens. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Samorost. Nearly everything on the screen is interactive, but not all actions further the immediate goal. Some earn you performance achievements, and others are merely eye candy, there to paint a better picture of the game universe.

You’ll definitely want to be observant about your surroundings, and note what the denizens of this world say to you. Clues are always present to guide you toward the actions required, so take the time to explore each screen, click on what’s there, and talk to everyone.

Periodically, you’ll encounter arcade games…those big, clunky machines drawn just like you remember them. When you win, you’ll be rewarded with something you need. In one, I had to fire a cannon at approaching pirate ships and click on bombs they were firing at me. There was also an end boss to beat. Three difficulty levels were offered, and I was rewarded with 250 gold pieces every time I won. Another game required me to feed and protect a large fish by tossing colored fish into its mouth while throwing away dangerous “HOPA fish” that could hurt it…lol.

Like old school video games, Fetch is divided into chapters, each representing a different biome. The first is a maze of underground tunnels. No worries! There are blueprint maps here and there to keep you oriented. The second was above ground, and was a series of islands with pirates. I can’t wait to see what comes next…will there be an ice world?

Along the way, be sure to collect all the dog collars you see lying about. If nothing else, you’ll probably earn an achievement, but you might need them to rescue all the other dogs. And explore! You never know what might be an achievement. I earned one for hammering in all the nails on a sign, and another for popping bubble wrap.

Fetch is definitely not a game to be played in one sitting, but one to be savored. However, the format may not please everyone. Some people panic when there’s no hint button, or dislike having to figure out what to do. There is a strategy guide, and the game becomes easier once you’re accustomed to the style of gameplay and what to look for. As for me, I’m fetching this one for my collection. Show less
