In the beginning, I thought the game will be another HOG failure because of the first cutscene, the sounds were off and there is no character animation, even the character's design was not my cup of tea. However, I kept on playing because of a friend's recommendation, and I did the right thing. The gameplay is very nice, the more you play the more you enjoy it. The story about Scarlett Frost, a woman who is...

It's been a while since I played this game, but oddly enough I still remember the setting and the story very well. That, I can say for a select few games in the HOG genre. I remember basically devouring the game within a couple of hours, due to its creepy and intriguing atmosphere, alongside the main character's otherworldly abilities. Theatre of the Absurd is an exceeding game for its genre. We take a close look on...

Its absurd to think this is a decent HOG compared to others available... The Good: • Beautiful artwork • Animations are nicely drawn • Somewhat nice variety of locations • Protagonist's voice acting is good The Bad: • Bonus content voice acting is terrible • Hidden object searches were not accurate (I could easily pick off 3/4 of the items just randomly clicking) • Cannot skip conversations, narrations, most...

At first I didn’t really like the look of this game. I didn’t quite like the look of the hidden object scenes, the lighting and how things were blended. Admittedly a few things were blended in a little too well and despite me trying to never use hints in HOGs, in this one I had to a few times. I thought straight away as a snap judgement I wouldn’t enjoy it. But the above aside I quickly warmed up to this game and I...

For a casual Hidden Object game, this one was pretty good. It's especially worth it if you get it on sale. If you are looking for a hardcore challenge, though, this one is definitely not for you. Note: This is the Collector's Edition with bonus content. There's an extra mini-story to complete after the main story. However, it didn't offer much extra, and the last puzzle was just ridiculous. It was the only thing I...

Eh, you know what? This was worth the $1.50 or whatever it was I paid for it. I got 3 nights' worth of entertainment out of it, which is about the perfect length for something like this. None of the puzzles (including the last, bonus content ones) will stump anyone for a long time, but theres enough of a challenge that you don't always feel like it was SUPER easy. The story is good enough, and there's some variety...

Actually not bad at all. The hidden object puzzles were challenging in the way they blended the objects into the background and environment, and I enjoyed that a lot. It doesn't have a map but it's not a problem at all because it's not a big game at all. The story is pretty basic with elements of horror. I absolutely love how they implemented the hints and abilities system and tied it into the story. I enjoyed the...

Whenever another game has me stuck on a difficult puzzle and feeling especially stupid, I like to fire up a Hidden Object Game in order to redeem myself. They tend to move along at a brisk pace while being just hard enough (ok, barely hard at all) to give the illusion of actually accomplishing something. Theater of the Absurd hits this sweet spot exactly, while distinguishing itself from the rest of the Hidden...

A decent hidden object game for the most part, although far from Artifex Mundi's quality. The voice acting is a bit bad and some of the pictures are unclear, but it's nothing too horrible, with one big exception: there's a gamebreaking bug right at the end that forces you to restart from the beginning, and it's very easy to run into it. If you're compelled to try the game (and there are far worse hidden object games,...

This game impressed me, from the start. As a HOG, the items were really well hidden and I was glad there weren't any achievements. One, because I wouldnt have set any time records and secondly it was enjoyable to take my time searching, see images come into view as my eyes came into focus. Theatrically, I was drawn into the story, through good design, acting and really good animation. Travelling from room to room was...
