Deja View - A Spot The Difference Game

I have only finished 4 levels so far (which is 2 pictures each) but I can already say that this is a wonderful "spot the difference" game! The art is quirky and creative and the differences are quite subtle at times, I find it a bit of a challenge honestly but really love that! There are not many hints available but at least there are no penalties for misclicks, you can try as many times as you want and won't even miss an achievement because of that. The background music is mostly great too but it varies with the picture themes, so sometimes it's perfect and sometimes... you can still turn it off if needed ;). If you like these kind of games, be sure to try this one out!

Gemcraft Games & Bleedingmoon Studio have teamed up again and introduced something completely different, "[i]Deja View[/i]", a spot the difference game. "[i]Deja View[/i]" has 16 fantastic images. They are split in two halves and each has 20 differences to find. After completing them you get two full images, one for each set of differences. Gameplay is different than what I am familiar with in similar games. I'll be honest, I was a bit on the fence initially, but as I played i came to enjoy it because I could swap between all the images with no progress loss. [b]Saves per click[/b] which was very helpful to avoid eye strain and the blind spot that comes with staring too long stuck on the same image. Be aware, there is [b]no zoom or magnify[/b] at time of this review. The differences can blend too well which may annoy you. The store page even warns the player. I did suggest it to the developer it would be a good idea to have and they are looking into options but there is no guarantee it will happen.

Hints can only be used after you do a 'Check my Spots!' and before placing the next circle. Hints carry across the game and can be earned every 15 correct differences. The [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/3581940/discussions/0/598527273204742289/]Developer gave an explanation[/url] for those who might be curious. However. [b]No limit to 'Check my Spots!' usage.[/b] If you wanted a hint to give you the answer, then randomly using this really isn't much difference, just more clicks. You may even get some of those guesses right. But after that you can just click the hint to get 1 verified correct location.

A spot the differences game is supposed to be challenging but this is simply torture for torture's sake. The differences are pretty much all minuscule and can be darn near impossible to spot without a zoom. Which is not included here. On purpose! As someone who wears glasses on a daily basis and got a headache trying to spot the tiny differences here I resent that decision. You can make your game challenging and still have it be accessible to people with eye trouble. As it is, I'll probably be able to finish with the help of the guide someone has posted but I have not had any fun at all and cannot recommend this game. It's a shame because I love the cat finding games this dev makes. This is just not it. It feels like a punishment for having poor eyesight and that's not what I want out of any game I play.

I love this game! It feels almost like "Where's Waldo?" and it is a nice brain scratching game when it comes to puzzles of spotting the difference. The artwork is so colorful and the scenes each are very creative! I love that there are different songs and vibes to each scene as well that there are isn't really a time limit to finish or find everything! You can go at your own pace and enjoy the scene. Literally! My top 3 scenes when I was done with the puzzle are: La La La, Vinious Asterious and Spooky Adventure.

Such a fun spot the difference game! The art is so amazing and fun, and the jukebox can make it very relaxing (even if I cant find that 1 last difference!! :D ) The hint system is also very helpful if needed.

As someone who has followed Gemcraft Games from their earliest hidden cat escapades, I was ready for a new and refreshing creation, which is exactly what ‘Deja View’ has delivered. This new game is an intriguing blend of dreamy, cosy, playful, and sometimes thoroughly surreal hand-drawn puzzle illustrations that thoroughly challenge your observation skills. Bleeding Moon Studio’s brilliant and evocative artwork truly brings this game to life – a kaleidoscope of whimsy, with beautiful bursts of colour. Each scene is visually distinct and packed with delightful details, and I often find myself pausing just to appreciate the depth and breadth of each new picture. As for the music, I wish all the soundtracks were available as a DLC. Each track is diligently curated to perfectly match the atmosphere of its puzzle, immersing you within these quirky and vivid mini worlds. Now, let’s address one thing I anticipate some may inevitably grumble about: there’s no zoom-in feature. Admittedly I too thought I would miss having one – especially considering how detailed the stunning illustrations are. But honestly? I am relishing the challenge. Without zoom, you’re encouraged to slow down and actually take in the whole scene, rather than just racing for achievements. What you do get to help you is the clever ‘mirror arrow tool’, which lets you trace between the two images, lining up tricky spots and methodically comparing without losing your place - so don’t let the lack of zoom deter you! My final verdict. ‘Deja View’ is a skilfully crafted puzzle adventure that blends observation, relaxation, and creativity into one enthralling package. Whether you’re a seasoned sleuth or a casual puzzler, there’s plenty here to keep you engaged for a long time. A fever dream for the eyes? Absolutely. Devilishly tricky? Even more so – and loving it.

This game is so much fun. Art style is vibrant, the music engaging. The game play is addictive with many of the differences very difficult to see and gives a sense of achievement when they are found. Really enjoyed playing along with my community. Also the game automatically saves so you can come back anytime to finish a map if you are having difficulties or your eyes need a rest! I definitely recommend.

Loved the dev's other hidden object games but this one was too tough for me. Can't leave a negative review because of that but I didn't enjoy it. If you want a challenge,, then it is worth the price!

Great aesthetic in visuals and audio. Surprisingly challenging in a good way, you really need to be paying attention. Great value and a great game to chill to.

Deja View provides hours of fun. It has 16 amazing hand-drawn illustrations each with two parts to hunt down the differences. I just love the music that you can unlock along the way and use the jukebox to add/remove the tracks. This game is challenging and that's what I want from any spot the difference game, why would I want to complete every level in 5 minutes when I can have hours of fun looking for those tiny differences that escape me on the first (and second) look! Hints are available if I need them and the more differences I find through the levels the more hints I get. This game gives me a great sense of achievement when I've completed both halves of a puzzle and I can view it as a whole. I don't question if this game is a good purchase given the amount of hours I can get out of it for such a great price. Whilst not everyone will find this game relaxing if you love visual puzzles like me I can highly recommend this game.
