What players say

A great time waster. Don't expect DiCaprio acting or Shakespearean storytelling and you'll be fine!

Hidden Object games area a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine and Artifex Mundi seems to be the ones that do it well. This is a bit of an older ono and the actual HO scenes can be a little more tough than their later ones but its still fun. Don't come into these games for the story or animation or acting, they are all ...not great but the puzzles carry it and overall I always have a good time with these
MsDizRecommendedafter 7.0hMay 2026Read on Steam
I haven't played hidden object games in a while, and this reminded me why. Some objects can be extremely hard to find depending on your screen brightness and how close your face is to the screen, though thankfully the hint system was generous, and finding objects becomes easier whenever you return to previous sections, as the objects you've found previously are removed from the pile. Story is alright, leaves me...
