The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book Collector's Edition

I think I am not the only one hidden object puzzle adventure gamer that thinks of hidden object scenes the moment you enter an antiques store. Well, at least Elefun Games thought of it too! They presented us a whole new hidden object puzzle adventure series and it's first release, The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book Collector's Edition.

There is a bonus game where you go the 18th century Paris.

Not everyone likes antiques stores, but most people do. Even if you don't buy anything, it is usually interesting to explore those things of the past. There is going to be a lot of that in The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book Collector's Edition. 

Your uncle owns a store like that, but you haven't heard from him for a while. You come down to the store and soon realize that your uncle is trapped in a book of nightmares and desparately needs your help. So, prepare to explore a lot of his stuff and learn things before you get to the point when you can rescue him.

There is a bonus game where you go the 18th century Paris. The story and the gameplay keepyou very engaged. All the game from start to end looks gorgeous. The colors and shades and all the detail make a huge difference. 

The game has the usual four modes of difficulty - Casual, Normal, Hard, Custom. The hints (10-35 seconds) and skips (10-50 seconds) are adjusted a bit differently than we are used to. You get a map as you begin to play as well as a strategy guide. The gameplay shows some innovation traits, especially the hidden object scenes department.

They are all very well thought out. There are all possible kinds of HOPS, many of which are puzzle-like. Some are shorter, the other are longer and more complex. Some have puzzle in them.

The puzzles are fun to play and will suit any gamer, because they differ in type and difficulty too. There are morphing objects (33) to find as well as all the collectibles (69). You also need to earn all the achievements (12)  to complete the game. After that, you can download all the media extras prepared for you!

It is great new series, and we look forward to seeing what is to come next!
