Maze: Nightmare Realm Collector's Edition

If you are familiar with the Mad Head's Maze series, you know what to expect from a new addition to the series, Maze: Nightmare Realm Collector's Edition. If you are not familiar with the series, you need to know that it is on the creepy side of the hidden object puzzle adventure genre.

The game's audiovisual presentation is just what you would expect.

This game is literally a nightmare. You are going to step into Timmy's nightmare to help him wake up. But it is not that simple. There is a dare that he wants to finish and he doesn't want you to leave before that.

Timmy's father was not able to wake him up even though he specializes in dreams, but his aunt is a nightmare expert and she knows what to do! Prepare to see his dark fears and visions of warped reality. It might be a good idea not to play it right before you go to sleep!

The game's audiovisual presentation is just what you would expect. The scenes are mostly abandoned, destroyed or just dark looking places. The music adds chills to your experience. The story covers four chapters, then you play a bonus chapter. The game offers five modes of difficulty (including a customizable one) and adjustable hints and skips.

A Map and a Strategy Guide become available to you almost right away. The hidden object scenes seem to have a lot of thought put into them. Clever and interesting tasks and searches.

You get to look for lists of items or silhouettes, a story book scene, several of the same item and a few other types. You can replay 19 hidden object scenes if you want to. The mini games display a variety in difficulty and type, too.

You can expect to find all the typical parts of the collector's edition here. You get to earn 10 achievements, collect 31 swirls, put together a jigsaw puzzle, find all the morphing objects, and enjoy all the media extras you can download after the game.

It is a nightmarish hidden object puzzle adventure game that many fans of the genre will enjoy!
