Enlightenus Review

This is different, and refreshingly different at that. Yet for some it will be because it is different that will actually spoil their experience. How is Enlightenus different from all other hidden object games? You don't actually look for the items, you are given them in your inventory, the challenge is to find where to use or place those items within the scene, such as hammering nails into holes, breaking glass cabinets or placing a train onto tracks. Enlightenment is like a hidden object game in reverse.

Inspector Doubleleaf is your name and although you have great detective skills, your passion in life is writing. A famous children's novelist, Edgar Lee, has called upon you to investigate mysterious happenings at his reclusive mansion. You enter into a strange and secret world of goblins and elves, a world in which the writer has based his best selling books. Something or someone has stolen all his books and hidden all the pages within Enlightenus, a story land version of his eerie mansion. You must solve the mystery, so all the books can be restored and children can once more enjoy the fables. Who knows, perhaps along the way you will become enlightened to possible future happenings!

The story line in Enlightenus is fabulous and the graphics first class. There are 13 Hidden Object scenes, which you will visit a total of three times each. There are several puzzles and mini-games to solve in the game. The hint system is well designed and hints are unlimited if you really get stuck, but you do have to find hint cards hidden within each scene.

Puzzles are readily solvable and not too difficult and the directions are mainly clear, yet you can get confused where to progress when going backward and forward between rooms. You can skip mini games but it does cost you all your hint cards if you do. Good Hog players who are logical and easily solve puzzles, might find the game length short, yet it will be an enjoyable adventure.

Enlightenus is a game that is complicated enough to keep your interest, yet entertaining and at times quite amusing. Enlightenus is the type of game you won't want to end as you become enmeshed in the story. This is almost as good as Return to Ravenhearst, which really is saying a lot, but it is a lot shorter and quicker to finish. The ending is quite good for those who enjoy a good story.

Once you download the free trial and give Enlightenus a play, you will see what all the rave comments on every forum is all about. But don't take our word for it. Download it now and experience the pleasure or pain for yourself. We believe Enlightenus to be one big step forward for hidden object games of the future. Less of the searching and mundane clicking and more a game that has been produced to be interactive with the player.

We rate Enlightenus as a five star, seriously good, adventure game.
