  • story
    90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally considered above average for the hidden object genre, featuring an intriguing narrative that weaves between two time periods and involves a psychic detective solving murders. However, players note that the plot can be disjointed and confusing, with some elements lacking logic and coherence, leading to a mixed reception regarding its depth and engagement. While the main storyline is compelling, the bonus chapter is often viewed as unnecessary and less satisfying, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The story is above average for the genre, with an interesting narrative traveling back and forth between two times and places, but also uncovering links to the recent past (saying more will spoil the story).”
    • “The story is an engaging murder mystery involving some time travel.”
    • “It has a wonderful story about a clairvoyant female detective chasing a serial killer through time, and all the puzzles are fun.”
    • “The story is a bit disjointed and shallow, but to be honest, most games like this have the same issue.”
    • “The story is ridiculously far-fetched.”
    • “The story is hard to follow; there is very little logic to most of the object-on-object parts, and you end up doing the 'try everything on everything' technique.”

    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the stunning visuals, smooth animations, and high production values, while others note that the graphics feel dated, especially for a ten-year-old title.

  • gameplay
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features a mix of brain teaser puzzles, mechanical challenges, and hidden object elements, providing a blend of adventure and mystery. While the innovative mechanics and engaging story are praised, players note issues with awkward controls, a lack of guidance, and the potential for getting lost in the expansive game area.

    • “You also have to complete a variety of brain teaser puzzles, number games, mechanical games, and more in order to open doors or unlock compartments.”
    • “The gameplay is fun if you like the hidden object genre.”
    • “Angelica Weaver is an exceptional example of this, blending traditional adventure and hidden object gameplay into an enjoyably ridiculous murder mystery, all held together with impressively high production values.”
    • “While the story and the idea of looking back in time at a similar crime spree was a good idea, I did not like how you were just dumped straight into the gameplay without a real introduction.”
    • “There is no map and the gameplay area is relatively large, so it is easy to get lost, miss one of the tiny mandatory items, and generally have the 'where the hell do I have to go now?!' feeling.”
    • “Some of the mechanics were really awkward, especially the ones that require timing or utilize gravity/physics, like the magnet door maze or the bungee cord hook puzzle toward the end.”
