Sable Maze: Soul Catcher by LynxMinx – Sable Maze: Soul Catcher HD - A Mystery Hidden Object Game (Full) Review

This was a technical mess and not much fun to play. To begin with, it was a very short game, even with bonus adventure. The graphics were all done in the same teal and grey color palette, so although they were decent they were dull as well. You could customize settings, at least. You had a tablet with a map, notes, achievements, etc. but no real journal. It was good that objectives were regularly updated or it would have been difficult to follow the storyline. But the story was basically searching for your brother and helping a bunch of ghosts along the way. There was a marked, if so customized, teleport map to transport you. However loading was not instantaneous between locations. At least the lag time wasn't interminable. There wasn't that much to do at each location. Inventory was labeled, interactive and had complex items to assemble. Unfortunately, this was LEAPING inventory, which we all detest and the developers have no excuse to give it to us! The HO scenes were short and uninspiring, or you could play match-3. Mostly all of the puzzles were boring rotational junk, which I really detest! It didn't help that this game was 3D and I had to add a very realistic MOUSE to inventory and it stayed a long time until I could use it and it stressed me out. Dracyy, I wish you had played first because NOBODY clued me in! You also had a gimmick which was a magical hand rune to use to open portals. It was a bit annoying until it clicked in and worked! I mainly deducted stars for length, unoriginality, lack of journal, leaping inventory, lag time and boring rotational puzzles! The game wasn't as glitchy as some reviewers complained but it was not a good game. I say save your money and hope that BigFish starts giving us better and more gorgeous games than they have the last two weeks. I am quite sure EIPIX will have a new one out for us shortly. We don't usually wait long for them! Lynxie sends ?❤️? to the DTE! Don't waste money on this game!
