If there was a seminar on how to make a bad hidden object game, it would go something like this: "Create a vague storyline with generic characters and put them in an indeterminate setting. Have one of them vanish. Move things along using no sound and bland, static images. Finish things up by alternating between poorly-executed hidden object sequences and boring, repetitious puzzles. I'm thinking the makers of Silent Evil: Kate's Rescue must have attended this seminar—heck, maybe they taught it.
Silent Evil: Kate's Rescue is an upcoming game from a new studio called Playarms. Based on the screenshots and teaser trailer that the developer has posted up, it's hard to tell whether the game has any hidden object scenes or whether it's a straight-up casual adventure, but it looks like we're in for a suspenseful mystery (complete with scary sound effects - yikes!)
