Surface: Alone in the Mist by LynxMinx – Surface: Alone in the Mist - A Hidden Object Mystery (Full) Review

Note to KimTwilight! Loved the Slavic Tales and the Dreamatorium! Another great game was Mind Snares: Alice's Journey; if you haven't played I know you will love it! Didn't realize how many games I haven't played by Alawar, who it seems is now partnered with G5. So since THEY give you a trial, I just downloaded all the ones you loved plus a few others. Thank you for the heads up! I just learned that I also have carpal tunnel and have felt depressed so you gave me a pick-me-up! You are amazing! I will let others know about the other ones I am trying! Always like to "pay it forward"! On to the review! Fantastic game, but cannot give it a full 5 stars. You could customize your settings. The graphics were beautiful and the cut-scenes were exciting. It was a bit too short, even with bonus adventure. There was a journal, labeled inventory including the plus items (love them!), and a teleport map. Although the map was marked, it was a bit confusing because it wasn't labeled, and it didn't always work properly. You collect flowers which you can use to access a secret room in the bonus content. Loading was instantaneous between locations. The HO scenes were fabulous and had a lot of variation. There were plenty of puzzles and mini-games which I liked, because they were interesting and not a whole bunch of rotational puzzles, which I detest! The storyline was easy to follow and the game flowed very well. There was a mouse in clothes which I was ok with but a RAT was in the bonus chapter. Surprisingly I didn't panic, and I think I am less phobic than I used to be, so thanks everyone for giving me a heads up as to vermin. I deducted a star for the following reasons. One was that I had a big problem when it came to sewing up the toy doggie. It just was extremely hard and took about 20 minutes! Just great for my carpal tunnel syndrome! Another thing I don't like is the secret room. Why is it that after we pay for a game do we have to replay HO and puzzles with a timer? Do something different and more interesting! How about new puzzles where after you solve one it leads to another and so on and so forth? That would be a lot more fun to me! But all in all I loved this game! It was very enjoyable to play! A big shoutout to the Dream Team Elite! Especially KimTwilight and Dracyy, who always have my back. You are kindhearted and lovely people, and great reviewers! Thank you for looking out for me and for caring, and giving me heads up on the rodent situations in games. I am not letting fear stand in my way and I hope to make you proud! Lynxie sends love to the team and all the other gamers who are also my fans! ❤️??
