IF you don't like hidden puzzle games, it's still worth a play.

This is my third hidden item game I've played and the storyline is the best part of the game. (Although the story could have been much better quality with a little more writing or text.)

These type of games seem to rely on three things, find objects, solve "puzzle" and storyline. The game is limited to a very low resolution and you might end of playing in a small window instead of your whole monitor screen (unless you have a 13" screen). This makes hunting for items very tiring, but playing full screen you encounter similar results because they are so distorted. More "puzzles" than not make sense or are logical.

The only saving grace is the story; a city hidden/ lost lover/ mysterious enemies. It does create enough of an atmosphere to feel an interest in the story. This game also merges adventure elements and (hopefully) starts a trend to evolve the hidden game genre to something more than it's sum parts.

All in all a (barely) passable game to play especially if you can get it at a bargain bin.
