The Search for Amelia Earhart

A pretty lackluster HOG. If you are a fan of this genre of games, i promise there are better ones than this. I had frame rate issues with my mouse half the time. I could work with it, but it was annoying.

Came for the dubious retelling of Amelia Earhart's life story, stayed for the immensely hilarious subplot where the main character's creepy AF landlord kept demanding cake.

A terrible game that is still incredibly buggy when run in fullscreen! The story is practically non-existing. It's not a story about Amelia Earhart's life. It's "find crap that the game tells you belong to Amelia, and do pointless things with it". The mouse pointer is bugged and you end up clicking everywhere in an attempt to hit the target.

Instructions and clues were terrible. You had to guess what they wanted you to do next and the hints were limited.

It's an average hidden object game, not so bad. But i can't recommand it because it's bugged on fullscreen so i had to play in a SMALL window. And it's hard to recognize the objects when they're so small...

I bought this game mainly due to the subject matter. Although, they may have took some liberties with the story, it really does follow along quite well with history, for beginners. The game is very short though and I was hoping for more history to be involved with the game. The graphics are pretty standerd of most HOG. The puzzle were excessively easy though, but I actually did enjoy the hidden object scenes as they were a bit more challenging then most HOG's I have played.

I can't give this a thumbs up however as it just needed some more story as well as the puzzles were way too easy. As far as the subject matter there is a bit to learn if you haven't read or seen much about Earhart. Otherwise nothing is new news to be sure as I have watched documentaries about the findings on the island in question many years ago but we still haven't had definitive answers yet. I give the game a 5/10 moslty because I'm glad someone did a HOG on an interesting historical person and mystery and also the HOG part of the game was a nice challenge.
