What players say
Easily one of my favorite hidden objects game publishers. As much as I enjoy finding cats on any given day, I love finding various objects and I love the micro interactions such as poking a little sand pile and something plops out or it's empty. Their games run smoothly on steam deck and a stylus.

Cute little game to find things in cute map scenes. great campaign, and created online games too. Create yuor own and bamboozle some peops!
PROS + Charming and detailed art style. + Relaxing hidden-object gameplay. + Maps feel lively and fun to explore. + Simple and accessible. CONS - Gameplay can become repetitive. - Some objects are tedious to find rather than satisfying. - Limited gameplay depth. VERDICT Hidden Through Time is a nice casual game that I enjoyed for what it is, but I don't find it particularly compelling beyond its basic hidden-object...
