Forget The "Redemption"! I Accept My "Fate"! – Redemption Cemetery: Clock of Fate - A Mystery Hidden Object Game (Full) Review

Sorry, I'm just not feeling this one. The premise covers the traveling back to other periods in time to affect or change the outcome of certain predicaments by altering actions in the past to create a transformed future. Well now I need Advil and a nap because I'm feeling dizzy from all of the time traveling back and forth as we repeatedly perform the same actions over and over again. As you are in transit, the grim and macabre imagery depicts a nightmarish reality as you pass abandoned, debris-ridden underground tunnels; cemeteries with menacing gargoyle statues and crumbling tombstones; and creepy, seam-torn dolls appearing out of nowhere in the dark - all as you are haunted by a voice booming out over a decades-old loudspeaker that patients of an asylum have escaped. The graphics are delicately, subtlety, and elegantly rendered. The color scheme takes on a monochromatic hue with similar shades of the same dominant color of gray/blue emitting throughout. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. You can customize your settings; you are offered the infrequent option to manipulate items by dragging them at times. The map gives fluid transport and indicates marked objectives. Textual information consists of acquired reading materials; since the story is repetitious in sequence, a journal is not necessary. The HOS consist of an assortment of my favorite types; items used fit into the theme. The puzzles suit the actions in progress as the story advances; namely, when you choose symbol parts as you climb down the hose to reach the bridge. The collectibles are unspectacular; one set to discover; highly noticeable in placement. Smooth transition; no glitches. All-in-all, this game had some components that I expect; however, the story itself was dismal and unexciting to the point where I had to stop to submit this review. Only three stars for me as I check out the Labor Day sales. To All Players: After a boring and unfulfilling August, I would like to announce the opportunity for you to play some side games: 1. Artifex Mundi just released a new gem entitled "Agent Walker: Secret Journey." I just started playing and will be reviewing shortly. It is on sale for $2.99 only for a limited time. Nice variety; original story; I'm loving it. 2. "Frankenstein: Master of Death" is a game by Jetdogs Oy. You can demo it; then unlock for $1.99. You can read my review. It doesn't contain all of the bells and whistles, but not bad for the price. (Tip: you can toggle on/off the main screen functions by clicking the lower left-hand purple button; this had me confused) 3. "Paranormal State: Poison Spring" by Legacy Games is an awesome one! You can demo it; read the reviews even though there's only a few. It was worth the $2.99. 4. "Castle: Never Judge a Book By Its Cover" by GameMill Entertainment has snarky humor, unique features, and an affordable price of $1.99 full unlock. You can demo it; it was fun! 5. I just accidentally came across a game entitled "Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall by Her Interactive. I did not play yet, but it has positive reviews. Only thing is that the price of unlock is a steep $5.99. I would play Artifex Mundi's first to receive the discount. I think these should keep you busy for awhile. Happy playing!
