This is a real hidden gem, and I'm glad I was asked to play it, or I wouldn't have discovered it. Nearwood has everything you need in a hidden object game: a good story, a beautiful soundtrack, and gorgeous artwork. The story is about Jane, whose mother died mysteriously, and then his father disappeared. She grew up with her aunt, who later asked her to go to her parent's old house to discover a great family secret. The journey is very nice and entertaining. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221556145 I can't get past the artwork's beauty, details, and color scheme; all of them are outstanding. The voiceovers are excellent, too. This game didn't fail with its soundtrack as well. I'm glad we could listen to them in the extras section once you finish the main game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221660177 The hidden object scenes are few, and this game plays more like an adventure than a regular HOG. However, it is still fun, as there are varieties of puzzles to enjoy. Some of them are tricky and require good thinking to solve. The characters' styles are cute, and the whole game's art looks like a fairy tale. The collectible creatures are so adorable; they are called Snoop-Sees; when you collect three of them, you'll unlock a page of their Snoopedia to read their journey. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3221537642 There is no journal, but the fast-traveling map is handy, showing you where the objectives are. However, you can't just fast-travel randomly because it has a cooldown, like a hint button. Pros: +Beautiful detailed artwork and locations. +Good story. +Beautiful soundtracks. +Variety of puzzles. +Good hidden objects scenes but few. +In-game strategy guide. +Collectables (Each three will unlock a page of the Snoopedia) +Bonus Chapter. Cons -No journal. -No Steam achievements. I could play the game again; it was so entertaining and beautiful. Pick up this one if you are looking for a relaxing game with gorgeous artwork and soundtracks.

[h1] Красочно, но скучно.[/h1] [code] Время прохождения - 2 часа. [/code] [u] [b] ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ:[/b][/u] Абсолютно не понимаю, какие "8 часов прохождения" у людей в отзывах? Игра максимально лёгкая. ✅[i] [b] - ЛОКАЦИИ.[/b][/i] Для 2024 года конечно смешно, 720p, 4:3 разрешение. Для 2014 вполне. ✅[i] [b] - ХИТ-БОКСЫ.[/b][/i] Больше модельки объекта. ⚡[i] [b] - ПРОСТОТА.[/b][/i] Хорошая игра для детей или новичков, но эксперты её как семечку щёлкнут. ⚡[i] [b] - АТМОСФЕРА.[/b][/i] Она может и есть, но после мрачных квестов, с кровью и расчленёнкой не ощущается. ❌[i] [b] -ГОЛОВОЛОМКИ.[/b][/i] Относительно других игр скучные. Найди 10 одинаковых труб, нелогически расположенных в тенях и вдоль подвесных труб, чтобы максимально всё сливалось. ❌[i] [b] -СЮЖЕТ.[/b][/i] Относительно других игр жанра он отсутствует вовсе. ГГ (опять девушка) попадает в мир сказки с эльфами, феями и смурфиками. И нужно помочь всем вокруг, попутно разгадывая тайну "почему мой батя ушёл за хлебом и не вернулся". Концовка максимально слита. ❌[i] [b] -ЭПИЛОГ.[/b][/i] Дополнительная глава, там вообще бред начался про злодея, который хочет захватить мир из-за обиды на человечество. ❌[i] [b] -ДИАЛОГИ.[/b][/i] Ни о чём, если их скипать ничего не потеряешь, потому что всё объясняется в 360p кат-сценах. Гоняют воду "Нет нет нет мне не нужна помощь твоя, ты и так много сделала, вот только нету в деревне света, эх если бы вернулось электричество" ❌[i] [b] -КАРТА.[/b][/i] Быстрое перемещение есть, только у него 30 секунд перезарядка KEKW Нахрена мне бегать через 15 экранов, чтобы взять 1 предмет и возвращаться назад через 15 экранов, чтобы его вставить, ну чё за садизм.
Отличная игра от команды разработчиков из Молдовы. Жаль, что видимо это их последний проект, потому что официальный сайт выдает 404, а страница во ВКонтакте не обновлялась с 2016 года. По визуалу, интерфейсу и механикам Nearwood однозначно HOG, но самих сцен поиска предметов в игре очень мало. Однако это нисколько не минус игры. Благодаря красивейшим сценам, приятной музыке и интересным оригинальным головоломкам играть очень интересно. Не буду кривить душой, если скажу, что для меня "Улесье" (так звучит название на русском) стала образцовой HOG, если не считать сцен поиска. Однозначно рекомендую к ознакомлению любителям жанра и остальным игрокам тоже.
[h1] Ok I guess. Artworks are nice, story a bit like a fairy tale for kids. Music and sounds, nothing to complain. HOG elements mostly easy and you can just spam click until finding correct item. Game should take 6-8 hours to complete. Often those type of games have some redeeming values like artworks, story and music but this one is mostly skippable. Still on the edge of recommendation - 6/10. [/h1]
A beautiful HOG =) The story is good, the world design is amazing and the puzzles are fun to solve :3
Прекрасная игра жанра поиска предметов,одно удручает невозможность смена разрешения экрана в игре -_-
норм
older game but sweet. It adapted well to my system.
騙人,沒有中文介面。It's a lie, there's no Chinese interface。
Hidden object adventure in the Big Fish/Artifex Mundi style with roughly 3 hours of content. My recommendation is based on sale prices (under 3€), as the base price of 9.99€ is a borderline scam given the game's age and amount of content. 🟩Enchanting visuals 🟩Some interesting and challenging mini-games 🟩Intuitive, well strung-together progression and item interaction 🟩Fluid and reactive controls 🟩Enjoyable whimsical music and sound effects 🟩Surprisingly good voice acting 🟥Weak story with skip-worthy cutscenes and too much dialogue 🟥Lack of variety in hidden object scenes gets tedious 🟥Final boss is a badly designed Match-3 game 🟥No HUD indicator for whether collectables remain in a screen 🟥No Steam achievements
