[h1]Hidden Folks ★★★★☆[/h1] Fun game to 100%, just have to play through and find all items of interest, there is an achievement for each world once you find all objects. [h3]Gameplay ★★★★☆[/h3] Interacting with each map was fun and the little stories for each object give the game a lot of personality. There is a blue-light and dark mode that helps with late night play which I found useful. [h3]Story ★★★☆☆[/h3] No overarching story but not required and takes nothing away from the experience, there are some characters that pop up over multiple worlds which was cool. [h3]Graphics ★★★★★[/h3] Amazing art style that keeps environments interesting but not so distracting that it makes finding the objects difficult [h3]Sound ★★★★★[/h3] The game includes very unique mouth SFX which help give the game a lot of personality with some of the cheers and screams being my favourite :' ).
Very well planned out scenes, very busy and yet calming with only mouth sounds and no music. Was able to find every item fairly easy but not too much, the longer ones took at most 20 minutes but it was usually within 5. Perfect balance for a challenge without it being enraging whatsoever. Some characters/items we find regularly and make the entirety of the "trip" very wholesome. The clues got a few chuckles out of me, including some akin to irl figures. Do recommend to any surreal comedy fans or searching games enthusiasts.
Details, details, details! I just kept clicking at stuff to see what happens, even after finding all the hidden objects listed at the bottom of the screen. The artwork is great, the man made sound effects are funny and the riddles for each hidden object are mostly easy enough to figure out. Mostly.
