About

9Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is an original hidden-object puzzle-adventure game, in which a unique Detective Mode enhances the gameplay. This thrilling detective drama merges horror elements with the look and feel of 1950’s USA.

A paranormal private investigator is contacted by her friend – a reporter named Helen Hunter – who pleas for help in a terrified voice. She urges the protagonist to come to the coastal town of Serpent Creek at once.

After reaching her destination, the detective finds no trace of Helen. And the manager of the nearby hotel, in which she supposedly stayed, claims never to have seen the blonde reporter.

Weirder still, the town’s streets are crawling with snakes, the citizens seem to be sleepwalking through life, and the ground shakes with violent tremors.

This case will certainly challenge the protagonist’s detective talents. She must find clues and put them together quickly to uncover what is really going on in Serpent Creek and what fate has befallen her friend.

The only person who is willing to help her is the eccentric mayor Alister Braminus, but she is not sure if she should trust him.

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is a Hidden Object game from Tap it Games. Our Heroine, a Detective, is summoned by her Friend Helen to a small Town where strange Things are going on. You can also observe them yourself, hardly that you have arrived in front of your Hotel. All People behave either very suspiciously or strangely and to top it all off, Helen has also disappeared. So begins the Search for the Girlfriend and an Answer to the Question of what's going wrong in this City. Actually a very nice Detective Story, however, it is too easy to see who the Villains are. In addition, I found most people very unsympathetic and/or annoying. This is especially true for the Protagonist, who more than once refuses to open Containers or climb stairs simply because they are smeared with Oil, for example, even though her Friend's Life or even her own depends on it. The Gameplay is very Genre typical, you move the Heroine from Background to Background, look for Objects with Which you can start something, look through Hidden Object and solve a Puzzle every now and then. In addition, there are the "Detective Sequences," which is also a Kind of Hidden Object. However, there are not any Objects that you should find, but you have to click on everything that looks "suspicious." The Difficulty is quite low, almost all Puzzles are very easy and quick to solve. For the slightly lazier players, of course, there is also a Hint Option and the Ability to skip Puzzles. Apart from this, there is still a small Side task, which consists of finding Question Marks (?), which is also quite demanding or requires a good Eye. Graphically, the Game is quite ok. Most of The Figures look quite good and the Backgrounds and especially the Hidden Obmous pictures are very detailed. Add to That the Films that are okay, too. The Sound has been pretty good for the Developers. The Characters are well set to music and the Music fits the respective Situations very well. Especially the slightly "scarier" Scenes are very well accompanied by the Sound and create a Touch of Horror even in such a game. Overall, a solid Hidden Object Game. Genrefans can take a Look at it and due to the low Degree of difficulty it is also suitable for Beginners. But Is definitely Waiting for a 50% or more sale because the current 10 Euros, in my Opinion, it is not Worth it with only 2-4 Hours of Play.
