It all began back in 1973 when an resident of the Bitterford Shadow Lake Penitentiary decided to idle away some of his sentence by digging up the floor of his cell.  He unearthed a mysterious artefact.  It was this event that led to your current assignment to investigate the evil that followed and is documented in the Mystery Case Files of Shadow Lake. I have been looking at the Collector's Edition of this Hidden Object Adventure Game.

By stepping back for a few years in time, I came across a copy of Small Town Terrors - Pilgrim's Hook in Collector's Edition format.  Described as a dark and mysterious Hidden Object Adventure Game, this title casts you in the role of Vera Hargrove.  You set out on this adventure in response to a call for help from your twin brother, Arthur, who still resides on the island of Pilgrim's Hook where you both grew up.

Edge of Reality - Call of the Hills is a Hidden Object Adventure game developed by Friendly Fox (presumably no relation of the creature serenading residents and attacking rubbish bag in the vicinity of where I live).  The game is based on the threat that ancient magic can cause when left unchecked.  My review of the game is of the Collector's Edition of the software which comes with a number of bonus items.

According to Grandma, innocent interest in knick-knacks and curiosities can become a passion.  That passion can then become an obsession and with a good push the obsession can become criminal.  This is the premise behind Grandma's game of Whispered Secrets - Morbid Obsession. I have been looking at the Collector's Edition of this Hidden Object Adventure Game.

Shadow Wolf - Curse of the Full Moon is a Hidden Object Adventure game developed by ERS Games Studio.  Unlike many other Collector's Edition titles I have seen, this particular Shadow Wolf offering neither lists its bonus elements in the main title screen nor grant you access to these features until the main game has been completed. You can, however, make some adjustments to the game playing environment and create profiles to record the progress of those playing the game.

The latest Match 3 title to emerge from e-Funsoft introduces the player to Helga who is a Viking Warrior.  Over 70 levels of Match 3 action, Helga sets out to seek the evil man who brought about the demise of her parents.  As a side issue she also looks to reclaim her homeland from invading forces.

Confirmed information has emerged from Black Isle recently.  This area of land was abandoned following a savage earthquake several years back.  Since then nothing apart from an occasional rumour.  However  matters are about to change as you are cast in the role of a Mystery Club detective in the Elephant Games title of Black Isle. I have been looking at the Collector's Edition of this Hidden Object Adventure Game.

Published by Lazy Boy Games, European Quest belongs to the Hidden Object genre of titles.  By creating profiles, different people can play this game at their own speed as they visit various locations and complete mini game puzzles.  Settings for the volume levels used for music, ambience and sound effects can be applied with an option for full screen viewing turned on to encompass the scenery.

As part of the Mystery Trackers series, Elephant Games have produced Raincliff.  This is a Hidden Object Adventure game based on the town of Raincliff that was abandoned by its citizens some ten years ago.  Random travellers, passing through the town, described it as haunted and felt unknown powers were roaming its streets.  This then is the location in which you must investigate in order to discover what had happened to a bus that went missing carrying university students.
