It's been a while since such an impeccably-made hidden object adventure hit the 'net, but without doubt, Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can is destined to become what some people might call an "instant classic." Brought to us by the folks at Mumbo Jumbo, it represents a rare mix of creativity, beauty fun and narrative skill—a formula not seen enough in the hidden object genre, or even in games in general.
The story of the abandoned mansion, haunted by a ghost or demon, is all-too-common in the hidden object space, and it's what we're once again presented with in Mystery Heritage: Sign of the Spirit. Here, you'll step into the role of detective, out to investigate the apparent suicide of one of the last surviving members of the Williams family, a clan that was apparently cursed by a witch generations ago.
Everyone's got their baggage. That uncle you don't really want to talk about. Teenage years as a bullied nerd. The father that may or may not have been involved in committing you to a mental asylum, leaving you with only your frayed mind and sentient stuffed rabbit to keep you company...all with the hopes that you can use flashes of your past to recover memories necessary to escape and make sense of it all. Okay, that's the kind of baggage reserved for Edna & Harvey: The Breakout.
For the last few months, the games coming out of ERS Game Studios have been going steadily downhill. ERS cranks games out at breakneck speed, and it's possible that at this point, the pace of development has begun to negatively affect product quality. The company's last two releases, Redemption Cemetery: Grave Testimony and Dark Alleys: Penumbra Motel were both far from amazing, and its latest release, Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga, is the weakest yet seen.
Inbetween Land is an interactive fragmented hidden object puzzle game created by Specialbit Studios. You will move from location to location solving fragmented hidden object hunts, mini-puzzles and picking up items to use in order to proceed in the game. Gamezebo's strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.
EA has been pouring a lot of effort into the mobile and casual scene, and here's a big surprise: the company's not going to stop anytime soon. In fact, it's getting ready to release its very first hidden object game (HOG) for Facebook. The game, which is coming this fall, is called JetSet Secrets; and it's a light-hearted take on a genre that typically features uneasy ghosts and dead bodies piled up in dark corners.
Inbetween Land is one of those games that will either draw players in or lose them entirely based on its story alone. It places you in the role of an average woman, sent to a floating island in the sky where she's challenged to save her comatose best friend, whose sprit is inexplicably floating around. Still with me? Moving on: crystals are hidden behind locked doors, magical panels or within crypts, and colorful alien ghosts will guide you through the collection of these shards to eventually save the day…and send the floating island…back…to space?
If you've owned a Where's Waldo? book at any point during your childhood, then it was probably destroyed in record time. In a fit of uncharacteristic helpfulness, your sibling or your friend took up a black marker and circled Waldo on every single page. Thankfully, the digital age is giving Waldo back his privacy. Waldo & Friends lets you chase the striped trickster across several levels on iOS, and no marker can contain him.
