Hidden in Time Mirror Mirror - Find Out Your Ancestry

Hidden in Time Mirror Mirror is a new release born into the hidden object games genre. You are limited in time to find out your ancestry solving some misteries and going through a number of trials.

Hidden in Time: Mirror Mirror begins with a good news/bad news situation. 

The good news is that your antique mirror seems to indicate that you're a descendant of the former residents of Castle Fairwich.

The bad news is that Castle Fairwich is slated to be sold in nine days, so if you want to solve the mystery of your ancestry and the Castle's legendary magic mirror,  you'd better hustle.

When you arrive at the Castle, which is what estate agents kindly refer to as a "fixer upper," you learn the tale of the magical mirror that was shattered when the Duke refused to accept that his daughter would be happy marrying the maid's son.

Perhaps by reassembling the nine pieces of the mirror, you can discover the truth of your own past, as well as the fate of young Marion and Jack. But first you're going to have to sift through a lot of junk.

Mirror Mirror has nine levels, with three locations each, but you'll have to visit each location twice.  In between each level is one of three mini-games: reflecting mirrors, spot-the-difference, and repairing jumbled images. None of them are particularly memorable or engaging.

The hidden object levels are well designed, varied, and have an unexpected cheeky sense of humor. Click on a rubber duck, and if it isn't one of your list items, it'll quack.

The story of Mirror Mirror will keep you playing, but not for very long. Despite the fact that you have to revisit scenes twice, it won't take you very long to complete the game.

If you're a fan of the hidden object genre, you'll appreciate Mirror Mirror's smart sense of humor and well-chosen lists of items.
