This is my first review of a game, but I had to say that I think this is my favorite one so far. What particularly pleased me was that the hidden objects were done so that it mimicked real life. I am sick of the games that have a storyline which is suddenly interrupted by a spot filled with all sorts of improbable items, like clocks, pineapples and plastic feet, that have nothing to do with the story. And you know that they are all to be found in that one spot so you just keep looking. NOT THIS GAME. The objects you are looking for happen to be things that you are going to need to complete a particular task, such as wires, a screwdriver, a soldering iron and so on. And those items are not necessarily to be found in one place. You may get one item from one room and the others from somewhere else. And the places where items are hidden are full of objects that you would expect to be in such a place. The kitchen drawer contains a beer opener, spatula, spoons, etc. Yes, some of the stuff is small and/or you only see an edge of the object, because they are drawn to scale. I hate games where you find a sock and an umbrella that are the same size.
I found a total of three "fireflies" which you need for hints or to skip a mini-game. I decided not to bother with them and just concentrate on finding the stuff I was supposed to, so I really used no hints and skipped no games.
For that reason, I found this game really challenging, but once you embrace the fact that it is not predigested for you, it's great. Most of the mini-games you get no instruction of any kind, except perhaps how to move objects. The rest is up to you, as it would be if you were faced with this situation out of the blue.
I always have to wonder, though, why places in most all of these games look like abandoned 1970's Russian technology.
I recommend this game!
