| You can almost always acquaint the eerie and | | | | this is that with a written plot, the story can be |
| weird on a Hidden Object type of game and this | | | | expound and given more depth, however, coupled |
| game review is actually no different. The Haunted | | | | with such tiny font sizes and very long plot lines, |
| Hotel game coming from casual game developers | | | | the written media in this game can be quite boring |
| Specialbit Games still exploits this relationship | | | | and uninteresting. It really depends on the player's |
| between the theme and the genre, but what | | | | view of course, but that's what I felt whenever |
| really can it offer differently from games of this | | | | I'm presented with a progress in the game's |
| type? Well, that's what we're about to find out. | | | | story. |
| The story of the Haunted Hotel game is all about | | | | Most of the graphics, music and gameplay |
| a bewildered traveler as he find himself | | | | elements blend perfectly with one another though, |
| checking-in on a seemingly abandoned hotel after | | | | and I definitely loved the game's eerie |
| an unexpected car crash. Desperate to find a | | | | atmosphere. It's not really as eerie as the |
| room and spend the rest of the night, he then | | | | Mystery Case Files series of games, but I guess |
| explores the whole of the hotel trying to find any | | | | that is one minor thing to consider. One drawback |
| hint of life, or probably some help for his unusual | | | | though is the funky and fun music theme during |
| predicament. However, before long, he finds | | | | the "Energy Swatting" mini games, which I think is |
| himself trapped in this strange building and it now | | | | a little bit off from the overall theme of this |
| becomes your task to stick with him to the end | | | | game. But aside from that, I guess that most of |
| until he eventually find his way out. | | | | the game elements are just fine. |
| Like all Hidden Object type games, the mechanics | | | | What I liked best though are the mini games |
| of this game is for you to find in every room all | | | | presented in the Haunted Hotel game. The mini |
| the items shown on your list within a specified | | | | games rotate from 5 choices for every hotel |
| time limit. Among endless clutters of random | | | | floor aside from the "Energy Swatting" game, and |
| items, you are also given up to 5 clues to help | | | | I loved every one of them. These may be very |
| you locate unfamiliar and hard-to-find ones, but of | | | | short games, but still provides a good break from |
| course, you still have to practice wise spending to | | | | all the eye-straining Hidden Object action making |
| survive the whole encounter. You can also find | | | | them very welcome for my hurting and strained |
| bonus items that will give you more time to | | | | vision. :-) |
| spend as well as possible replenishment to one of | | | | All in all, the Haunted Hotel game is really an |
| your clues. All in all, it's just a satisfactorily | | | | overall fun game if you get to appreciate the |
| challenged game and very well balanced too in my | | | | game story's progression and delivery. It has an |
| perspective. | | | | addicting gameplay coupled with some exciting |
| The Review | | | | mini games that promises a lot of hours of |
