As far as hidden object games go, European Mystery: Scent of Desire is something of a mixed bag. All told, it's a confounding blend of tired narrative ideas and innovative puzzles and its developers play fast and loose with period references (in it you'll see Medieval plague doctor outfits, 18th century tri-corn hats and early 20th century Gibson girls). Despite its cavalier attitude toward historical accuracy however, it remains an impressive and worthwhile hidden object game.
