Released back in the Spring of 2011, Silent Scream: The Dancer was met with hit or miss responses from hidden object fans, but developer Maximize Games is looking to make up for past mistakes with a sequel to this original title: Silent Scream II: The Bride. A sequel more in name than in storyline, Silent Scream II: The Bride will follow a glowing young woman named Jessica Bell, who has just married the man of her dreams, a fellow by the name of Jonathan McNealy.
The mind can be a dark, terrifying place, and sometimes doctors need more than traditional medicine to help diagnose and cure those who are most traumatized. Such is the case in Elephant Games' upcoming hidden object adventure Surface: The Noise She Couldn't Make.
At first blush, it could seem natural to take Jane Austen's books—tales seemingly obsessed with social interactions—and make a social game out of them. Thinking about it further though, it's a pretty strange idea. After all, today's online social shorthand would likely shock Ms. Austen and her oh-so-proper contemporaries. Still, in Jane Austen: Rogues and Romance, developer 6waves is hoping that Anglophiles will enjoy a fairly standard hidden object formula, so long as it's done with Austen-ian decorum. And they're right. Sort of.
Jane Austen's Rogues and Romance is a hidden object game from developer 6waves. Players will explore scenes and interact with characters from Jane Austen's novels, as well as decorate their own regency manor. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.
Elephant Games stampeded onto the hidden object scene a few years ago and since then, its games have been lauded by both critics and gamers alike. So far, 2012's seen the release of three more stellar games from three separate franchises. This month, the company continues its charge toward genre domination with yet another excellent hidden object adventure—the third in the Grim Tales series—called Grim Tales: The Wishes.
Severe Incident: Cargo Flight 821 deserves credit for trying something new. In this sci-fi hidden object adventure, you'll play as the pilot of a cargo spaceship, which crashes during cryosleep on a lush jungle planet. Accompanied by only your talking robot, you'll need to investigate a slew of environments while trying to find a way off of the planet. Unfortunately, this is one title that suffers from poor design choices from beginning to end.
The mystery surrounding the lost city of Atlantis has tested archaeologists and researchers for decades, but while many are simply focused on locating the lost, supposedly underwater city, in Alawar's upcoming hidden object game Eternal Journey: New Atlantis, you'll instead be focusing on its origins as a civilization.
On first glance, Howlville: The Dark Secret is perfectly packaged to imitate its long line of Collector's Edition ancestors who've thrilled audiences with their haunted houses, car crashes, and mysterious towns—or at least bombarded them into a numb acceptance of commercial standards. But from the title screen forward, Howlville distinguishes itself from the gloomy flock with a unique twist on the tried-and-true gameplay of hidden-object games. Instead of puzzles and hidden objects existing as separate entities; they've nested puzzles and tons of interaction into each hidden-object scenes, creating a very different pace and strategy for familiar mechanics.
