Chimeras: The Signs of Prophecy Collector's Edition

Edit: All of the games in this genre are too short for the price here on Steam. However, after playing many, many of these games, I have to say this is one of the better ones, far better than average. Definitely very fun and worth the time, but as with all of the games in this genre, I recommend getting it on a discount. This was an okay HOG with some fun elements. Some of the hidden object scenes were at least not just a list of names. But it was way to short for $10.74 US, which is mainly why I gave it a thumbs down. Maybe $7 and I'd give it a thumbs up, but I grow weary of these games that are so short. I never skip cut scenes. I do skip some mini-games, but only after giving it some time. This did have a "secret room" game after the Bonus Game that was a nice little touch.

This was a good game to play. I liked pretty much everything. I often times found myself thinking out loud "Hey, this Wanderer looks like Raziel from Legacy of Kain!" and sometimes I found answers (the lens capturing energy, transforming it into crystals) to the game I love the most, that is True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 2. (Can't wait for Part 3!) Okay, here is a list of what I've found interesting in Chimera: The Signs of Prophecy. PROS: - Journal entries; - Beautiful scenes; - Good music; - Well-worked voice-overs (especially the Drunkard XD); - Fast-travelling map; - Interesting HO minigames; - Story revolving around super-naturally gifted children and chimeras; - Three-set collectibles (The Tarot Cards are interesting); - Main Game + Bonus Game + Secret Room (just like Chimera: Cherished Serpent and Haunted Hotel: Room 18). CONS: - No other disadvantage comes to mind. If you're looking for a HOPA game with a good story and interesting puzzles, I think you hit the jackpot with ...

Great HO game. The plot is engaging, the minigames fun, and the HO scenes challenging. Most characters have a lot of depth. Those that don't... well, they are already dead. Your task is to save Munich from a wanderer. And the wanderer from himself. Worth a buy. Probably in the Chimeras bundle, as both are great HO games.

Pretty fun and a long game! The ending was amusing to me. The storyline was good and I found the flow easy to follow. Good amount of HOG and non HOG!

After a disastrous experience with the first game, I approached this one with hope and a little trepidation. However, I had none of the problems that I had with the first game. It moved at a technically correct pace and not like I was wading hip-deep in mud. With that established, I enjoyed this game very much! I'm not an old hand at these games, so I found several of the puzzles quite challenging and the HO scenes were well done (I do tend to do better at those. lol). The artwork is very pleasing to the eye and helps establish the ambiance of the story. I would and did wait for a sale to purchase it, but I definitely recommend the game!

Nice fantasy-based hidden object game! Good hint system, map, and well-designed puzzles. Well worth it if you're a fan of this type of game, and worth checking out if you're looking for a relaxing game to play.
