Review:

Any hit always has a lot of followers. A great melody, a unique book, an amazing idea start their way around the Earth; and then multiply with every new day in different countries, among different people and in different ways. I bet that you have seen a lot of books alike Harry Potter in your own country. So, casual games market is not the exception. If you like to play games, you can remember that some years ago all casual game players were fans of Zuma, then Luxor and dozens of similar games with the same game-play. Nowadays hidden object games are on the top of the wave and a player can choose what game to play and what game to pay for. Each game has traditional points: a picturesque intro, a catchy story and a traditional game-play. These points are a must-have and can’t be broken by any developer, of course if they want to sell a game. But what if to change some of them? Let’s check the new hidden object title Escape Rosecliff Island.

The game starts without any story. You just find yourself on the abandoned island after a ship wreck. You see a house and no person to ask the way out. Your task will be to find out the way from the mystic island and save yourself. Before you start the game you can choose between timed and relaxed game modes. To add some spice in your life you can also choose between three unique games. “Escape Rosecliff Island” is the main story. “Unlimited Seek and Find” game mode need to be unlocked. Here you will have to search for 2 100 hidden items. And “Mystery Bonus game” is a locked set of mini-games.

Totally Escape Rosecliff Island consists of 25 unique locations. Like in every seek-and-find game you will be given a list of the objects to be found. And like many hidden objects games the list of items to be found has nothing to do with the story of the game. Sometimes you will have to guess what item is hidden in the list. For example, if you see the "bamboo eater" task you need to figure out that it is a panda and to find it in the location. If you are stuck you can always get a hint. But this option is not free. 7 500 points will be deducted from your account. Luckily wrong objects clicking will bring you no penalties if you are not clicking very fast.
Those who feel difficulties finding the objects can enter the Main menu and choose the option of “Unlimited hints”. You can earn 25 000 points for Perfect Investigation if you finish the level without using the hint option.

The second game mode - Unlimited Seek and Find games can be unlocked when you collect 50 locks. Each level contains 2 hidden locks. If you fail finding the lock on one of the level you can get another try when you return to the level in the next circle. Check the lock icon in the left bottom corner. The number of the blank locks will notify you of the quantity of the hidden locks on the level.

The variety and style of mini-games will also satisfy the fans of the hidden object genre. You will be playing classic match-three puzzles, finding right words, testing your memory skills and solving sliding puzzles. Mind that you can check for all of them in the Mystery bonus game. This game can remind you Mystery P.I. series. It’s true because it was made by the same developer. Mature players can notice that the set of the objects to be found is almost the same. But if you like obscure and atmospheric games like Mystery Case Files you’ll enjoy Escape Rosecliff Island and spend many hours playing new seek and find game.
