???Off the Record is Off its Chain, Badly??? – Off the Record: The Italian Affair HD - A Hidden Object Detective Game Review

Greetings, Gamers: ? EIPIX's current offering is the perfect example of what I mean by a game seems perfectly fine except for its fundamental flaws. Big buggers for me: the map and diary are accessed from the main menu (what a pain); the map would often indicate where there were things to do...only there was nothing to do. There were just too many bells and whistles. I like bells and whistles, they have their place, but not when they're jammed into gameplay so much that you're on sensory overload the entire time. This triggered my ADD and ADHD in ways y'all wouldn't believe. I wanted to hang out at that wine cabinet and partake of the vino big-time!? I'm giving it two stars because it is a crime caper sorta mystery, graphics are good, voice acting is well done. But the map and diary locations are logistically friendly and it's hard to remember what I'm looking for in each scene while keeping up with the story. Game did crash, kicking me out at the boathouse. That's fine, I didn't feel much like sticking around anyway. Not after playing that cool "True Fear" game and the equally awesome "Hide &Seek" game. Now back to "Hide & Creepy Seek"...Come out, come out, wherever you are! ? Until next again, fellow gamers, May the stars light your way ✨✨✨?✨✨✨?✨✨✨?✨✨✨
