very enjoyable
This is a Hidden Object game with adventure elements such as exploration, puzzle solving etc. If you are not a fan of this genre then this game isnt for you. I do like it, and this older game was very enjoyable and pure from the new ones I have become familiar with from Artifex Mundi and Big Fish. first of all, the devs cut out alot of the frustration that confound the new HOs such as tedious back tracking to get an item in order to build an item in order to do an action etc. They intersperse quick travel requests after you complete that item and will transport you immediately to the location its used if you desire. There is a map which shows actionable areas with quick travel. The story is intriguing, you solve a deep mystery with Holmes, its a bit gory. The art isnt as beautiful and detailed as the newer games but quite serviceable and lush. For once the messy HOs have a real reason for being that way, crimes scenes of mayhem. In fact what is most enjoyable about the game is the seamless story telling where HOs serve a purpose instead of just plunked into the plot to add game play. The voice acting is so so, accents a bit off. The music is orchestrated but can get a bit repetitious, you can change volumes or mute. What is missing are multi leveled HOs where you solve mini puzzles within the HO which can be fun from newer HOs, these are straight find items HOs. You cant zoom but i didnt have too much trouble finding objects though some of the names were off such as calling a canteen a flask etc. The puzzles range from easy to more convoluted and hard but i was able to do most with only skipping one more obnoxious one. there are achievements but i did miss the morphing objects from the new HOs. Overall its a very pleasureable game to play whist in bed
