When a reporter sees lights on the sky illuminating it with some kind of strange symbols, this leads to only one conclusion, this story will be the biggest ever. So as a reporter you look for clues, search for any kind of hints that can lead you to the source of those lights, and their meaning. This game is specific unlike other HOG games, it has a specific crowd that are fans of this kind of genre. Here you are 90% of the time focused on finding the hidden objects and almost nothings else. The story of the game was explained on the beginning of the game, but there are not almost any twists in the game. The story is monotonous, and the character with which you are playing, well you would expect some kind of emotion from people when you find out the end of the world could come. Luckily for the players, the things that diminish the bad sides of the game are the hidden objects itself. This game has a hint system to help you, but it charges really slowly, slower than other games, which got me thinking, this game is for all people who enjoy the essence of HOG games, and test their power of perception. Sometimes you have to decide what do you need the gem or the diamante, revolver or gun, basically the small details count. 25 locations, with 20 on more hidden objects on every location that you must track. Most of them you'll find with average brain usage, but a couple of them require patients, and a steady hand for searching every millimeter of the scene where you currently are. Just when the finding the objects gets to tense, a mini-game shows up to relax you with couple of easy puzzles, and a few puzzles that require rotating tiles to fit them in. It's almost inevitable in a HOG game to avoid going back on finished area, and this one isn't an exception, but returning to a murder scene that was all ready investigated just to pick up one single item...Can get sometimes annoying. All in all, a minus for the game story and characters lack of enthusiasm, but a big plus for returning to the roots of the game, and giving an opportunity to the real fans of HOG to enjoy a couple of hours in a game that could bring some change to the 'monotone' HOG series... You'll enjoy the music, and graphics are somewhere between good and very good. Click here to open game download page!
