The story in this game is widely criticized for being minimal, poorly developed, and lacking coherence, often feeling like an afterthought rather than a central element. Many reviewers noted that the narrative is thin, with little character development and an unsatisfying conclusion, making it feel more like a collection of puzzles than a cohesive adventure. Overall, players seeking a rich story experience are likely to be disappointed, as the game prioritizes gameplay mechanics over narrative depth.
- “It involves the controlled character’s missing father and their family estate, where she eventually learns about a sinister plot against her entire family.”
- “The story seemed really interesting and I love this type of storyline and game, but I am majorly disappointed in how this game is made.”
- “I was hoping the story would have more involvement with the gameplay.”
- “There is a story provided, but it's barely there and really just short expositions to kind of move things along.”
- “The story seems more like an outline to work with than something that should have been released - absolutely no character development means the few snippets we see make very little sense as a whole, the 'ending' in particular.”
- “The endless puzzles are strung together with very little story.”

The graphics in "The Secret of Hildegards" are widely criticized for being low-resolution and poorly rendered, which detracts from the gameplay experience, especially in a hidden object game where clarity is essential. Many players noted issues with blurry visuals and poorly stretched backgrounds, making it difficult to identify clickable objects. Overall, the graphics contribute to a lackluster experience, compounded by translation errors and a weak narrative.
- “The simplicity of this search style is reinforced by the use of perspective: if the shoes you must find are on a shelf in the rear of the room, then the graphic of the shoes will be relative to the visual distance of the shelf.”
- “And yes, as someone has stated already, blurry graphics in some scenes are one of the rare things that put some tiny grain of difficulty into the game.”
- “- room graphics are not repeated.”
- “The graphics did not age well at all, with the background so poorly stretched across my monitor---it wasn't hard to differentiate which objects were clickable from the backgrounds, which made the challenge pretty much vanish.”
- “The secret of Hildegards is on the lower side of average with low-res graphics, many incorrectly translated object names, spelling errors, and a fairly abrupt, unexpected, and unexplained ending.”
- “Its puzzles are laughable and the only difficulty comes from the graphics being so bad that you can't see the objects you are looking for.”

The gameplay is characterized as quickfire and condensed, focusing primarily on hidden object scenes, which may serve as an easy introduction to the genre. However, it has been criticized for being generic and lacking depth, with subpar mechanics and minimal story integration. Overall, it offers a classic hidden object experience but falls short of the standards set by older titles in the genre.
- “Gameplay is a very condensed hidden object experience that takes only the core aspects of the genre.”
- “Well, the summary promised 'hilarious gameplay' and it delivered.”
- “For a hidden object game, it is far below the usual standard even compared to other older titles of the genre. I would say it may be a good and easy introduction to hidden object gameplay with its quickfire scene-to-scene puzzles.”
- “Tldr: just another generic casualized point-and-click game with subpar mechanics and story.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it is a classic hidden object game, meaning it consists of hidden object scenes and nothing else.”

- “There is no voice acting but the music is pleasant.”
- “The character art is gorgeous (on the rare occasions you actually see it) and the music isn't bad.”
- “The graphics are ok, but the music is painfully repetitive.”
- “While what seems to be the single music track in the game loops incessantly, the transition between the beginning and the start of the track is painfully obvious.”
- “Music and sound effects are so boring that I don't remember if the game has any.”
