I had kind of written Elephants Games off as a generic Hidden Object Adventure developer... that is until I played this. It scratches pretty much every itch for me and what I look for in the genre - TONS of backtracking and open-ended level design, really fun puzzles, complex inventory interactions, and my favorite : FMV CHARACTERS!

It has some typical list-based hidden object minigames, but they are pretty few and far between and not enough to damper my enjoyment. I am excited now to check out the rest of the backlog from Elephant, as they're one of the biggest developers in the space with well over 40 games. It seems they were on fire until around 2016, when the quality took a dip. But from 2011-2015, there are a TON of games to checkout, and hopefully some will match the quality of this one.
