Dead Link: Pages Torn

Except for the price, everything in [i]Dead Link: Pages Torn[/i] can be categorized as “average” and even that is in most cases an overstatement. For $8 you get a (barely) 2h game with a rather lame and cliche story, poorly explained puzzles, buggy achievements and few other elements that clearly don’t belong in a HOG. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1978727267 You play as Ellen, a book author who visits her sister Amanda, in hopes to find an adventure that could make a good story and overcome her writer's block. Upon arrival, she finds a dead body in front of the manor’s gates, and after a bit of investigation with a flashlight, she concludes it’s Amanda. We are led to believe this until the very end of the game, when (unsurprisingly) it is revealed that the person was not Amanda, which opens up the question: “how difficult is to recognize your own sister, especially since you can shed light on her face and see her features clearly?”.

I recommend this game. But, it's complicated, of course. I'm a Hidden Object Game (HOG) junkie, so I've played just about all I can lay my hands on. This game is published and developed by phime studio, LLC, which makes it a maverick and challenger to the dominant publisher in the field. I'm so grateful to have those, so I'm biases from the start. The plotline itself appears to have been truncated a bit -- they wanted to add more to the plot, but... time/budget pressures are always a thing. Still, its a decent plot. The 2D graphics are quite good and I enjoyed the scenery quite a bit. The "find the X key to open the door" puzzles were decently connected to the plot (in direct contrast to AM's recent release where it felt utterly random). The "current goal" and hint systems work well to keep you on task. For at least the first half of the game, it is very linear -- you can't pick up items that aren't directly related to your next task. No inventory full of 12 objects that hav...

[i][b]Dead Link: Pages Torn[/b][/i] is a fair casual HO Game. It has a decent storyline, set in the detective field (a young writer investigates her sister's vanishing). The plot is realistic (no zombies, no monsters, no vampires.. no fantastic or magical creatures) and the characters are plausible. Graphics and soundtrack are ok. Voice acting too. By the end the music started to feel a bit repetitive .. but it might be because I had to run through the whole game [u]5 times[/u], only to get the "Insanely Fast Thinker" achievement. That was somewhat tedious but aside from that I fully enjoyed my 1st playthrough. The gameplay is nice and the game has a good pace. There are many outdoor and indoor locations to visit, which lead to several back and forth, but the game provides a map allowing fast travel from a scene to another. This map also shows locations with available actions (that function is not available on Expert mode). No pixel hunting during HO Scenes.Those are relaxing. N...

I can't really recommend this game. There are several flaws: - The animations are not very good (although, to be honest, most of the HO-games have animations that look rather bad, imho). - The puzzles are laughably easy and pose no challenge at all. This isn't handholding players, it's pointing them almost directly to the solution. - A few times the item one needs is almost in the same location where they are needed. Again, far too easy to solve things. - The shortcuts via the overview-map don't always work very well. When one is in the wrong area (inside the house, for example), and the next action is needed somewhere outside, it seems that one has to walk outside first (to see the map belonging to it and the exclamation mark). - The story is horribly simple and doesn't make much sense. And the female protagonist must be the dumbest "detective" in the world. The story and the villains are recognizable from a mile away and her acting suprised about what happens is ridiculous. Plus, th...

I'm a huge hidden object games fan and compared to the other titles I have in my library, this is not one of my favourites. The storyline is okayish - the developers went with a more realistic storyline than the normal fantasy storyline one would associate with this genre. The story however did not really grab my attention, which is possibly due to the voice acting of the characters. I found myself switching off the sound and reading the subtitles rather than playing with the sound on. The game is also fairly short and the puzzles are relatively easy for the genre. I did find myself stuck on one or two puzzles but this was more due to the instructions not being very clear rather than the difficulty of the puzzles. All in all it's definitely not one of the worst HOG out there - it just isn't one of the best either. It's average. If you are a hardcore HOG fan, this might not be the best fit for you but if you're new to HOG, it's a good introduction to the genre. (I'm only not recomm...

I recommend this game. The scenes are painted well, and the atmosphere is great. There are all kinds of scenes, both indoor and outdoor, so the playing area is well "rounded". Soundtrack is good and although there aren't that much dialogues in the game, the voiceover serves the purpose well. The storyline and the puzzles are blended well, and very few puzzles are out of the context - everything you do serves the story. The game has realistic setup, and there are no elements of fantasy, but the puzzles still give great variety of challenges. The plot is good, and it keeps your attention well until the end, I won't tell much because of the spoilers, but the only thing I could wish is if the game was a bit longer. But at no moment you go on "autopilot" just doing stuff for the sake of it - the plot just keeps you occupied at all times. Videos are ok, nothing spectacular, but since this is the thriller, they also serve the purpose well. Pro: Great storyline, pleasing audio and solid ...
