Secret of the Pendulum

-Short Review- + Pros: *Good art style - Cons: *Glitched / poorly orchestrated puzzles *Repetitive back-tracking *More HOG scenes than puzzles *Slow hint/skip system *Short gameplay **Overall: Don't buy this game unless it's on sale and you're really curious to try it. But, you're better off trying some other HOG games. + . + . + . + . I was one of the folks who supported this game on Greenlight, and I was really rooting for it - but it turned out to be an almost complete disaster. I do like the art style and the concept of two sisters traveling in time (in short bursts, mind you), and the pendant that provides time-traveling powers is a cool gimmick. But that's a drop in the bucket, I'm sad to say... A number of the puzzles are broken, and at times I either had to wait until the 'skip' bar filled up (took about two minutes) or reboot the game if the puzzle becomes unresponsive. [spoiler]There was a puzzle in the subway where I had to line up the circuit lines in the power core and it just disappeared altogether. Secondly, I was trying to organize a set of colored USB sticks to get a security passcode - saved my game and exited for a break, and came back to see that the puzzle not only restarted but it was also stuck in the intro phase of the puzzle and I couldn't even get the sticks to light up and get the code - I had to reboot again to get past it. Also, the fuse puzzle on the safe was frustrating because I had to use a combination of four symbols without them touching - in the same columns or diagonally - and it's near impossible to solve. It's incredibly frustrating to experience.[/spoiler] The puzzles and HOG scenes are the meat of the game, and since they're pretty much broken the game is rendered pointless and frustrating - you'd really have to go out of your way to get it working. Also, the story itself is another issue I have. It's rushed, and there was a lot of potential to have it go in another direction but I guess the devs were strapped. And there were some interesting additional characters (like a sooth-saying homeless man and a detective with a mysterious past); they only appear once in the story and it's such a waste to cast their roles aside. [spoiler]The homeless man acted like he knew about the secrets of the pendulum Lily and Madison had, and it seemed as if he could've been part of a secret society, but he's never seen again after that initial meeting. Also, the detective would've added some more depth - and length - to the story, but again, he was dropped after the first encounter. There just wasn't, ironically, enough time to flesh them out in the game.[/spoiler] The story was short, choppy, and the ending - while ending on a happy note - it's unsatifying... I had really hoped that this would be an enjoyable experience, but I just wasted $8 and five hours of my time trying to get past tiresome glitches. There's no excuse for such a poor performance.

Kostet zwar nur 8€ aber ist nicht gut geworden. Die Grafik ist zu schwach, die Rätsel nichts für mich und die Story ist langweilig. Ich würde zu besseren Wimmelbildspieln greifen.

Worst Hidden Object Game ever. Did get me the most views though... Not finished, what about that "strange door"???

A mix of hidden object and quest games which is kinda standard for the last years. As for me, the object scenes are too blurry, and the game itself doesn't provide the right feeling (maybe because of the time travel part of the story, which I particularly dislike). So, in my opinion, nothing worth to play

一般吧 ，就是一个接着一个的从图里找东西，但是个别物品因为机翻找不到 暗示回复也不算快，流程不算很长，结局百合
