Nice game with a good story. Only drawback is that some of the search puzzles are recycled. Usually those screens in other games are also recycled, but with other objects to search for. Here they have some searches with basically the same items in the same spot, which you already know by then. Can still recommend though.

Another classic hidden objects games for me. Love the places around the map, especially in the mirror world. The Monaco can be a bit annoying but overall not too bad. The puzzles are not too hard. 8.8/10 would recommend.

I am so happy to have found this game! It's been a long time since I've played hidden object games and look forward to finding/playing more of them.

Not bad! I'll give it 80%. It has a couple confusing things. First, after the first part of the game you get not one map but three. You have to use the tabs on the top left when using the map. Second, alternate matching game for an HO scene. IT's the cards with the starburst behind them that you must pair for an item in the HO to be eliminated. Aside from that, no major issues.

I really like this typical artifex mundi style. The whole game was cool and the story pretty nice. I also like the voice of the protagonist very much. The puzzles were pretty easy though. The game was on expert pretty easy to pass. The characters very pretty nice too, even though i didnt really like the knife thrower. The monkey mechanics were pretty nice, even though its nothing new, its still a very cool feature. The bonus chapter, was pretty small but still a nice conclusion to the story. All in one: really fun. I can highly recommend it.
