If We Travel Back To Our "Past", What Would You "Change?" Not a Thing About This Gem! – Labyrinths of the World: Changing the Past HD - A Mystery Hidden Object Game (Full) Review

What a refreshing change from horror and gore, which seem to be the dominant trends lately. No critters so far. The imagery and graphics are visually beautiful with sharp, crisp, finely detailed, and intricately hand drawn scenes to create a realistic representation of the environment. The colors, on the whole, are darker but contain some vibrant, brighter colors including orange, red, and green in some scenes. I like the concept of time traveling to other realities, worlds, or eras, especially when achieved in a fantastical, imaginary sense. The plot evolves as you travel to several historical time periods with varied, unique settings; each has its own story and objective, which create an impression of mystery and uncertainty. Your character is developed as you experience a web of entanglement and bewilderment through challenges presented in each new environment. Some nice background animations are peppered throughout, such as a plant growing flowers and a cat scurrying about upon touch. I love the incorporation of my name as the main character; it helps me feel immersed within the storyline. You can customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom mode, the teleport map indicates available actions as well as what locations you can acquire a collectible; however, the indications were inconsistent so I was left to fend for myself at times. Access of the journal is time consuming. It is located through the map and records light story progression; namely, acquired notes. Transition between scenes is a bit delayed at times. The HOS are very creative, fun, and varied; they include word lists and silhouettes with interaction. It's a nice twist on gameplay when you perform an action leading up to an HOS, such as the one where you use the stem of a plant to create a breathing tube for a pond resulting in a word list. The puzzles are varied and very creative as well; some are simple, and others are skill based. You have a nice variety of collections, such as statues, puzzle pieces, and artifacts. Overall, this is a good installment in this series; other than the map issue, I have not encountered any glitches or other issues. So far, very good!
