SEASON OF MYSTERY: The Cherry Blossom Murders

I'm quite patient when it comes to first impressions in a game. But I've only played for a few minutes and I already can't stand it, even as a hidden object enjoyer.

The items are just too blurry, bizarrely sized and obscured and it becomes more of a game of randomly clicking every pixel on the screen as opposed to actually looking for them with your eyes. When you're looking for a harmonica, you don't expect to be finding a 5 foot tall one propped up against a hallway. When you're looking for a shrimp, you don't expect to be finding a monster shrimp the size of a cat superimposed upon a chair. Similarly, there were shrunk objects and ones essentially transparent for no discernable reason. I feel like there could have been a much more creative way of hiding an object in plain sight than either making it virtually invisible or like a completely different object entirely.

No shade to those who enjoy it, I like a challenging H.O.G but this type of challenge in particular was only rage-inducing and not as calming and interesting as others in the genre have been.

A stereotypical Casual Hidden Object Point & Click Adventure game.

Not exactly thought-provoking. Only takes a few hours to fully complete.

Mostly a bit of leisurely wholesome fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Great story and charming hidden object scenes. Just a few puzzles besides, none too difficult.

Simple point and click game with some mini games like matching and puzzles. Kinda reminds me of the "I spy" books I use to enjoy as a kid. Very chill game

Square Enix made a H.O.G. :D
