Reviews
- The game features a unique hidden object mechanic where players can choose from three categories of items to find, adding a strategic element to gameplay.
- The animations and colorization of scenes as objects are found create a visually engaging experience, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.
- With around 700 items to find and lengthy gameplay of approximately 4-7 hours, the game offers great value and replayability for fans of the genre.
- The game's dark theme, depicting Viking cats attacking mouse villagers, may be unsettling for some players, contrasting with the typically cozy nature of hidden object games.
- Some objects can be very small or poorly placed, making them difficult to find, which can lead to frustration during gameplay.
- The game ends abruptly after the castle siege without a satisfying resolution, leaving players wanting more closure to the story.

The game's story is characterized by a colorful and engaging narrative that unfolds gradually, with players experiencing a mix of whimsical and serious themes, particularly involving viking cats attacking a mouse village. While the animation and scenery effectively convey the storyline, some players feel that the plot lacks depth and is divided into acts, which can make it feel disjointed. Overall, the story is appreciated for its creativity and visual storytelling, despite some critiques regarding its execution.
“The heartless developers really wanted you to notice this little child who is running for their lives because they kept giving you a quest to find the teddy bear the child was trying to make sure came with them.”
“The scenery is actually quite impressive and nice looking; a story of vikings departing and then going on to invade a village is told through the scenery as you go through levels.”
“In fact, they are deliberately sectioned off into acts, so once you finish act one, act two is revealed, which is an extension of the scene in act one. I thought this was quite clever, as it kind of revealed a story along the way.”
“What I did not like at all was the story.”
“The story in the scenes is not fully fleshed out.”
“The underlying plot was... unexpected?”

The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, particularly the color-coding system that highlights areas where items are located, enhancing the puzzle-solving experience. Players appreciate the balance of challenge and accessibility, noting that the game offers substantial playtime for its price. While the core mechanics involve searching for items across various categories, the addition of new features keeps the gameplay fresh and interesting.
“I really like the mechanic that colors in areas of the puzzle in which all the items to find are found!”
“I highly recommend this game to anyone that enjoys this genre. It's hard and easy at the same time and has a lot of gameplay for the price. I usually value games on hours per play to price, and this game (and series) go above the usual standard.”
“The hidden object mechanic is great (you have to find items in three categories, and you can choose the next category when you complete one of the previous ones).”
“Find all will take you about 15 minutes; it's short but it essentially shows the mechanics of the game and what to expect for the following ones.”
“The mechanics are the same: searching a large image for three types of objects and, when one of these is completed, being able to choose another category to look for from a choice of three.”
“Lengthy gameplay.”
