Before hidden folks, i had no will to live. i didnt eat. Ididnt sleep. i didnt take care of myself. after playing just 5 mins of this game i gained 20 pounds of muscle and grew the thickest beard ever. i now have enough pent up testosterone to single handedly save the male race if i was the only one left. if you take one thing away from this, know you can have this power too if you play hiddn people
This is a kind of interactive hidden object game. No timers, just fun to discover what moves or opens while you search. The sound effects make me giggle. I can't believe I missed this gem, it was released several years ago.
