100% complete. Story took about 27 hours. Main game was fun but has very repetitive "cutscenes" that cant be skipped or sped up. Story was ok but ending felt anti climatic. Had to look up 2 or 3 solutions since the clues given made no sense - there was no real clue.

The hidden object part of the game, and the overarching plot are amazing. The mini-games can get very annoying, especially as there isn't really any instruction given for them, but most of them are puzzles you'll encounter in other puzzle games so it could be worse. The art and setting are really cool, and the game overall was fun to play.

It is a fun little game, though it’s not really the deep detective experience you might expect. Instead, it plays more like interactive storytelling — each level presents a small crime case with a supernatural twist, and your job is to uncover it by finding specific objects and characters. Think of it as a ‘find the object’ game wrapped in tiny crime stories, rather than freeform investigation. There’s no freedom to explore maps or ages at your own pace — the game gives you a specific objective, usually finding a person or object. That said, it does offer a variety of easy and entertaining minigames, and the art style is absolutely gorgeous. I especially loved the hidden easter eggs sprinkled throughout (no spoilers here!). The pacing can feel a bit slow, and the AI companion sometimes gets more annoying than helpful, but it never ruined the experience for me. Overall, I see it as a relaxing game — perfect for winding down after a long day when you want something engagi...

Where's Waldo on steroids. I really enjoyed this game, but can see how it would be abrasive to some people. I wanted to explore the timeline on my own so I could watch the little stories play out. I was probably halfway through the game before I happened to click on the compass/clock icon in the bottom left corner of an age that allowed me to do so. This game is very linear, but it's chock full of easter eggs and heart. I played the demo when it came out and enjoyed the crime-solving aspect of it. I was surprised that the full game has a much more in-depth story underpinning the detective part. That said, there were a few times where I clicked the right thing and it didn't register so I spent quite a while looking for something I had already found. That was the only sort of bug I ran into, though. If you like hidden object games and it's in your budget, give this one a try. The time travel aspect was fun, the art is delightful, and the story is really good.

Crime O’Clock is like curling up with a giant, magical storybook where every page hides a mystery. As someone who adores both hidden object games and true crime, this felt like it was made for me. I loved wandering through moments frozen in time, spotting tiny details that stitched the puzzle together—plus the occasional cheeky nod to my favourite games, films, and anime. A cosy little adventure that proves solving crimes can be just as comforting as a cup of tea on a rainy day.
