Jane Angel: Templar Mystery

With the vast number of hidden object games available, there are plenty of other places to spend your money that would be more satisfying. Gameplay is the typical old-fashioned HO style: a handful of scenes to complete per chapter, then advancing to the next chapter and next set of scenes, etc. This is pure hidden-object with an occasional minigame tossed in for variety. If you're looking for more of a HO/Adventure game (i.e. the Artifex Mundi style), with puzzles and inventory and object usage, this is not the game you're looking for. Gameplay itself is easy and the HO puzzles and minigames are not overly challenging. Problems come in when objects are not well-labeled, making you search for something that actually is something else entirely. There is also lack of precision with objects layered on top of other objects; there have been times in my playthrough where I couldn't click an objec that was directly behind another one, forcing me to pixel-hunt for a clickable spot (with t...

An old-school style Hidden Object game without any point-and-click adventuring parts. Even the separate mini game is a simple chinese checkers style game that only shows up a couple of times. Scrolling screens, layered screens, find (and correct) errors in mirror mode, and best of all, time challenges on all the levels when you have completed the game. A nice change of pace from the new trend of casual point-and-click adventures with a few Hidden Object scenes thrown in for good measure.

[h1]Old-school hidden object goodness[/h1] No point and click problem solving, no long cutscenes with voice acting, only minimal and skippable puzzles. This HOG focuses on object finding, the way I like them. [b]What I enjoyed[/b] [list] [*]The HO scenes play in the classical PopCap way that I like. Objects blend in and require skill, but they are not cheaply obstructed / hidden - most of the time. [*]Scrollable scenes, and an object list that helpfully dims each item name if you need to scroll to see it (almost too helpful, as it makes finding stuff extremely easy). [*]Some of the HO scenes are beautifully rendered "Da Vinci's sketchbook" looking layouts. Looks great and provides an alternative to photorealism. [*]One mini-game had me finding anachronistic or "intruder" items inserted into a painting of Christopher Columbus, such as kangaroos and AK-47s. That was funny. [*]Nice character art in the story sections (except for the main character - see below). [*]The historical journal...

This one is a miss. The story seems like it could have some potential, but the spelling and grammar are both awful enough to distract you. The hidden object puzzles are pretty straight forward and easy, and there isn't really much movement or progression. The game is broken into chapters and you basically click a scene, complete it, then click the next scene, etc. There are much better HO games out there. If you're desperate for options, or find this one for a buck, give this one a shot; otherwise I'd say it's worth skipping.

The game... Just ends... Lol. Like really abruptly! It only starts to get good as the mystery deepens and that no one can get one over her and then BAM! ENDING CREDITS! Okay... XD I started off with THESE type of H.O.Gs! Yep! So I am used to clutter and timers and such... The newer ones with the nicer graphics make me ask "where is the clatter...?" or "why are there so little H.O.G. parts?" Either way, you get used to it. It was rather interesting/fun for me. AND NO, you don't just FIND items all the time... They do switch it up with um "Find the difference, but still find that object" and "connect 7/8/9"? Also jigsaw type puzzles present. Loved the cute animals + that sexy angel statue. We should have those everywhere. One of different demons too. But now we are officially off topic. And now we are back. Enjoyment was had. That's all it mattered. ^-^! Thank ya!!! :) =)

Good Point and Click, Hidden Object game with a few easy puzzles. Cute little story, but it leaves you on a cliff hanger, and the game is extremely short. I reccomend if you like these type of games, but I would only get it if it is significantly on sale.

im locked in prison

Old fashioned hidden-object game. Graphic resolution is a mess to find out objects. Story is so so.

I clicked Recommend, but there's a caviat... I would only recommend this game IF you like HO games and IF you have an interest in the Templar history. If you're not big fans of both, don't bother with this game; stick to the Artifex Mundi titles. The objects in the HO scenes are nicely done, but be aware that you may have some difficulty clicking on some items like the flashlight, especially if they overlap. You can tell from the character dialog that English is not the native language, and I'm OK with that, but some of their labels are misleading if not inaccurate. (I'm a female and even I know a Leatherman multi-tool is not a swiss army pocketknife). I also found the ending very abrupt and rather stupid. Anyone with any knowledge of the Holy Grail would understand that they wouldn't let her just run off with the real one that easily and other reasons she should have realized it was a fake. Of course the "bad guys" believe you to be stupid, Jane. You know all about Templar...

Fun game with a little history on Templars. Like it, but was a little short.
