So, similar to the other Mystery titles from Crisp App Studio, this is a straight hidden object game with a suspense/adventure story and a few variations on the game.
It's simpler and more focused on hidden object rather than mixing it up with puzzles like the Artifex Mundi games.
In this one you have mostly static scenes with bits of animation here and there, the majority being the regular word match hidden object, but you also have a few silhouette parts, and find the difference parts.
Something to note that some don't mind, and some see as a mood killer, is that the hidden object parts are not fixed, you have to move around the scene to find the objects. On this title it's just a bit to the left and right though... a previous title had almost twice to three time more room to look around.
The graphics are a bit wonky, even though they are high res, it kinda reminds me of older Artifex Mundi games. You have more than a few objects that are weirdly sized, misshapen, with a wonky angle or perspective, clearly cut outs or mismatched resolution. You can kinda see it in the preview images.
But still, fun game. I think most people can finish the story in little more than an hour or so, I just played for 3+ hours because the game allows you to keep playing every variation of every given scenario until it starts repeating.
