Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts

Haunted past is another game from the developer of Princess Isabella, Gogii games, and is clearly a more recent creation. The graphics are cleaner, the art is better and the scenes are more detailed in terms of animation and sound. It also looks like a more mature game in tone and design. The motif of the haunted house is without rider or sting, and the puzzles are a little more difficult than those of Isabella. It is a very polite game, even if it is still a bit outdated. A strange omission that I should mention is that there is no map, and therefore no quick move between parts, but the game stream is fairly linear and it makes sense to include some shortcuts to go back. The gameplay is a puzzle game through the halls, the hidden object scenes being almost a secondary feature. Note that with the best graphics, the hidden object scenes are actually easier since everything is more distinct. The great trick of the game is the "spirit world", which consists in alternating ghostly versions of the pieces where you can find additional objects. Not only do you have to find the objects, you have to "hide" them in a place where you can recover them in the real world, because the ghosts will steal them. These are not particularly difficult puzzles, but they add a slightly appreciated variety. If you manage an outdated puzzle design, it is a 2-to 3-hour solid game that is actually more on the end of the spectrum than on the hidden object, but should suffice either to one or the other. You will not receive any success, to play only for pleasure. I highly recommend it. Friendly Pastor
