The Book of Desires is a hidden object puzzle game with a horror theme, similar in many ways to the Artifex Mundi mobile apps of the same genre. There's a horror backdrop to the story, but really this is all just the same kind of mobile app screen tapping puzzle solving and object finding you'd expect from an iPhone game. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones. The Book of Desires has an overly optimistic price of around $7 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. If you really want to play this kind of hidden object mobile app, there's dozens of them free on the app stores, so charging money for this on PC simply isn't acceptable.

for a hidden and find game this shouldnt exist
<기록용: 5/12일> 여러번 시도했지만 아예 열리지 않아서 빡종 했었는데 실행 안되는것까진 돈 버렸다 친다. 컴터 자체가 멈춰서 강종 재부팅 두번이나 하고 포기 비추
The Book of Desires is a decent hidden-object adventure with a dark fairy-tale atmosphere. I enjoyed the mysterious story and exploring the strange locations while trying to uncover the secrets behind the book. The story is intriguing, although it can become confusing, and some of the puzzles feel either too easy or unnecessarily unclear. There is also some backtracking that slows the pace down. I'd recommend it mainly to players who enjoy older-style hidden-object adventures. Enjoy :)
Иногда хочется потрогать игры Point & click Но так как они кусаются в цене как полноценные ААА и состоят из неизвестного качества, приходится трогать от меньшего к большему. И так эта игра нищего качества по ряду причин: 0) заглючила в одном месте (пропал инвентарь в квартире) 1) не логичность действий. (Простительно ещё) 2) хаотичность глупых экспериментов игры над игроком, то дай флаг скелету, то ищи в земле свёрток 3) неудобное управление, постоянно выходит назад, когда жмёшь неудачно инвентарь, на сенсоре делаешь это постоянно! 4) аналогичные загадки, между очень-очень легко и очень-очень глупо 5) в итоге очень короткая игра 6) однообразие поиска предметов, которые можно просто рандомно и безнаказанно натыкать в куче мелких вещей. И везде надо обязательно найти Щётку, Паука, Карты и Два Карандаша Плюсы: 1) визуальная сторона 2) попытка в сюжет за 100-300₽
https://youtu.be/R1oSzoSZigA A lack of motivation and consistency in the world generates far too much friction for the player to keep invested in progressing through the game.
Game was ehh also it was very short
Das Spiel hat eine sehr gute Atmosphäre, gute Wimmelbildszenen und eine gute Hintergrundgeschichte. Andere Reviewer haben Bugs erwähnt, die ich bei meinem Durchspielen nicht hatte. Allerdings muss ich zugeben, dass die Rätsel am Anfang etwas schwierig sind. Zur Not tut´s dann aber der Skip-Button. Ich hatte Spaß an dem kurzen Spielchen, also kann ich es weiterempfehlen. :)
This game is unimpressive in every way and some of the click fields are broken. Its not worth your time.
Played this years ago and was going through my owned games and decided to replay it. Plot summary (like it matters) - child given an opportunity making a wish, makes a nice one, and ends up in an adventure. Might have had one bug with stones disappearing in a mini-game and not being able to complete it and ended up skipping it. Some of the hidden object parts were actually rather clever - but there were occasional non-standard names. On the whole an OK HOG.
