Take this review with a grain of salt, because I don't play hidden object games and I thought from the trailer that this was more of a mystery puzzle game.
Anyway, a compelling plot buoys an otherwise tedious Where's Waldo-a-like. Also, it's way too long at over forty levels. At the time of this writing, I just finished the 33rd level and finding out how the story ends is maybe the only reason I'm still playing, as I become actively annoyed as I play.
EDIT: I have finished the game and my opinion remains unchanged. The final area of the game has a nice difficulty spike in the sense that it is so dense and cluttered that it pains me to focus on it, which I like, I suppose. The final levels of the game are also clever in practice, albeit in execution they’re very clunky.
