Mind's Eye: Secrets of the Forgotten

The Good
A fairly standard hidden object puzzle game with puzzles.

There were a couple of puzzle variations in here that I had not seen before which I liked. The scenes are extra wide and I spent a lot of time scrolling left/right looking for tiny items that a shift in the parallax view may reveal, there was just one scene near the end where this changed to scrolling up and down. I've not seen this for a while and I liked the extra challenge.

The game has a rapidly charging hint system and in addition each scene allegedly has a hidden roll of film which grants a bonus hint, I only managed to find three of these hence the 'allegedly'.

The Bad
My main problem was that it saves at the end of a chapter. I had played through to a word puzzle and was working on it but I needed to take a break, this gave me a choice, quit the game and replay to get back to the puzzle or skip the puzzle and play to the end of the chapter.

There were points when the artwork showed its age and some of the items were a bit hard to make out, on the other hand many items were very well hidden in plain sight.

The game has no difficulty setting which may be a problem for some.

The Bottom Line
I installed the game today, started playing this evening and by midnight I had finished the game and I had submitted screenshots. Probably three to four hours to complete.
