I know zombies have been done and overdone... and then some. But I still love me a good zombie story. When I saw zombies combined with the hidden object genre, I had to play this now now now. For a game where you don't have to worry about running or fighting, (you can just point at the zombies and laugh incessantly), there's still a nicely tense mood. Here's the lowdown. You begin your story in the hospital. Waking from a coma and finding the place deserted. (*cough cough* Walking Dead *cough cough*). Your goal is to find your husband and daughter... and also uncover the deep dark secrets of an evil corporation. Mwahahaha. You do that by reading newspaper clippings and other notes lying around which unfold an interesting (albeit not very original) story. I actually enjoyed playing this quite a bit. Graphics: Decent. Not great, not horrible. They work just fine for this story and the hidden object scenes are well done. I never had to use the hint button to find any items. Music: App...

After an accident, you wake up in a town where zombies seemed to have taken over. Your goal? Find your husband and your daughter and escape Livingston and its dark secrets! I loved the first Small Town Terrors, that's why I didn't hesitate to buy this one. I was expecting a story about an experiment gone wrong. Suddenly, I'm thrown into a story where you have NASA, aliens, zombies and an infected husband that managed to create an escape road for his daughter and wife. Also, I was expecting the ending, so, I wasn't really surprised. Still, it's not clear if it was aliens or an experiment having done that nightmare. However, if the story is kinda weird, it doesn't meant that the gameplay is boring: you have puzzles, lists of items and even medikits to find. Indeed, there is an health feature: some scenes or actions aren't possible unless you get the required health. Doing some movements are making you loose some HP but you're forced to do them: you don't really manage the health. The p...

A small town with a super secret government facility conducting top secrect unregulated experiments (the kind if they told you about they would have to kill you) -- What could possibly go wrong? Try containment breach - several in fact. Second game is a present 3 game series. (1st: Small Town Terrors: Pilgrim's Hook and 3rd: Small Town Terrors: Galdor's Bluff) Storyline - On the way to Livingston (home maybe) the Saunders family is in a car crash while trying to avoid a person in the middle of the road. Rebecca is a coma, while husband Stan and daughter Emily wait for her to get better. Two weeks later, Rebecca awakens alone in the deserted hospital, weak and confused by present events. She sets off to find Stan and Emily, to discover Livingston is abandoned, a disaster zone, and has "zombies"? Or at least contaminated humans. Find family and leave town as quick as possible is the objective. In the process, discover what happened in Livingston. Gameplay: Let start with the ...

An interesting little puzzle game with a cool mechanic of having to build up your strength to progress. Hidden object scenes and puzzles are generally easy with two or three puzzles that take a bit of effort to solve. Music is nice and moody. Story is reasonably interesting. Visuals are nice. Expect around 3.5 hours of gameplay. UPDATE: As of July 2021 this game works fine on Linux with Steam Play / Proton.

Oldie but goodie

fun little game

This point-and-click hidden object game is everything I look for in this genre of games (no pun intended)! It was smoothly paced with challenging but not impossible puzzles, great design, great music and sound effects, and an interesting story line! Would play again if I could. Wish it was longer, that's my only qualm. Content warning: -blood

Wow, this was really different for an Adventure HOP game. I played on easiest mode. There are a number of jump scares. The story begins with a bang & got my attention. The tasks you must do are logical. There are many puzzles & HOPs. Some puzzles were a bit complex for me, so I skipped them after awhile. This is a good, strong game. I didn't find any glitches. There is a map only shows you where you are, but you can't use it to jump. That isn't a problem because once you progress past a certain location, you can't go back, but you have a whole new cluster of areas to explore. Zombies aren't by thing, but I look forward to playing this again.

A fairly simple HOG, there are not really any moon-logic puzzles. The prerendered story videos feature atrocious 3D graphics looking like something out of the 1990s, but no one plays these for the graphics. That said, the 2D art is fine, no better or worse than fine. I enjoyed it for what it is. On a technical side, the thing ran at 1300+ FPS. Yes, one thousand three hundred. It didn't behave like a power virus, as my gpu clock never maxed out but you might want to run this with a frame limiter running. There was one puzzle I skipped because solving it was too tedious (the jukebox), but everything else felt quite reasonable.

What is the point of having a map in this game? In pretty much all HOG i've played--and I've played a lot of them--every single map had it where you can fast travel where you want to be and would also show where there are actions that need to be taken. This HOG for some reason decided not to do that, which makes the map utterly useless. I am now stuck and having a decent map set up would have been helpful to know where to go. Health system was interesting but not really something I want with a HOG. I also don't see much impact to the game play adding it. I do not recommend.
