Game: Grim Facade: Sinister Obsession

Arguably the most overdone plotline within the hidden object genre is that of murder and mystery, as we all-too-often take on the role of a detective, psychic or even concerned family member, out to find the truth before each game's few survivors can be picked off one by one. Such is the case with Grim Façade: Sinister Obsession, as we'll once again become a detective, charged with discovering evidence surrounding a series of murders. But here, the gameplay has enough unique twists and originality that you won't even mind the lackluster, clichéd storyline.
