Hide and Secret: The Lost World Reviews

It was an ok game, but very easy while also frustrating. There is no way to skip the tutorial, and even after that the game insists on holding your hand whether you want to or not. Puzzles are extremely easy throughout. HOS are ok, generally well translated, but the ones that are not are extremely confusing. Also, the misclick penalty seems to just be about number of misclicks in a row, with no timer involved. Towards the end of the game, it becomes frustratingly hard for all the wrong reasons. There are hints, but only text ones, and no map indications, so you spend most of your time running around trying to find a person with something new to say, but in most cases, which of the HOS's has reactivated. And for my taste, there were way to many of those, especially compared to the few puzzles. The hints might tell you what to do to meet your objectives, but they tended to point to the wrong ones, while also spoiling the already too easy puzzles. Two of the last few puzzles even had built in backtracking. The story is the usual kind for this kind of game, when it is there at all, but I wasn't expecting much from it. It has an ok base, honestly, but some very bad design choices made it mainly frustrating. The short bit between they stopped telling you what to do before you just had to guess where to go was ok? I honestly can't recommend it, even on sale. Hopefully the devs learn from the experience and get better with time.
