Ich mag solche Wimmelbilder.

An absolutely fabulous game — relaxing, engaging, and cleverly designed. Even though I’m not usually a fan of hidden object mechanics, here they’re done right — they actually serve the story instead of just filling space. The plot keeps you hooked until the very end, and the puzzles are varied and rewarding — the perfect cherry on top. A solid 8,5/10 for the genre, and I have to say… I truly love this developer!

This New York game had a great story to it. The game was enjyable and rich in color. The talking is very well appreciated and easy to listen to. I do not and never cared for the shadowed silhouette hidden objects scenes. I would deninately recommend this game, well made and therefore well played.

5-BN games puts out the gold standard in point-and-click, hidden object visual novels. What sets 5-BN games apart is their breadth and depth. Most games will present you with a scene of 3-4 places, and completing those will move you on to the next part of the story with the next 3-4 picture scene. Here, you're largely given the full run of the story map and expected to be able to figure out where the object you've just picked up is used, as far back as the first couple of unlocked scenes. You will close out some locations as you work through the game, but you will largely be able to go back to them to view them, and scenes are not closed out in the order that you found them. I love having the full span of the map and having to actually think and work to figure out how to progress the story. They also have tools with multiple uses, which I appreciate as a nod to realism that these games frequently lack. The HOP scenes are beautifully illustrated. The puzzle mini-games are delightfully varied and plentiful. Some may take a few moments to get, but I believe the option to skip them can be turned on in the settings menu, so if you get stuck you there is a path forward! And the plot lines are unique and surprisingly interesting, as well as being long enough that I always feel like I well got my money's worth. The cut scenes are well animated, something of a weak spot across the entire genre of hidden object games.

Хорошая казуалка
