Review: Letters from Nowhere


Type: Hidden Object
Platform: PC and Mac
Price: USD 6.99 from Big Fish Games

Audrey has to find her missing husband with help from mysterious letters from an unknown sender.

Gameplay
At each chapter of the game, you are given a few locations to choose from. Each location is a hidden object game where you have to find items on the list. There will be at least one item which requires an additional action to complete eg. putting bread in the toaster to make toast. One of the locations will contained one of the mysterious letter which will open a a new location. The new location will contain a puzzle and an artifact. To help you in the search, you can purchase four types of power ups from the points you have earned.


Thoughts
I like the beautiful graphics and the intriguing plot. Even though evil is in the air, it is not a terribly spooky game. It is not easy to find the hidden items because some of the items are covered so that only part of it can be seen. The items are also clearly hidden and sometimes instead of telling me what to look for, the game only gives me a clue eg. head cover or 2+3.

The puzzles are pretty simple and won't cause anyone to tear their hair out. There is a helpful "Solve Puzzle" button which will activate after a few minutes, unlike another game which took such a long time to activate the button that you would have better luck solving it yourself.

Verdict ★★★★★
