This is another spooky storyline crowded with mysteries, secrets, evil-doers, etc. On the one hand, we deal with the usual hidden object title, which we deal with practically every day. But on the other, two sibling games can be absolutely differ in quality. Luckily, today we are scrutinizing one of the best hidden object adventure - Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets. Starting a creepy plot is always hard for the developers because it is in the first few sentences that they establish the tone, pace and mood of the entire installment. We must admit that this plot is done well, compelling without being overloaded with trite dialogues. The storyline inspires further investigation. 

The gameplay also surprises us with its good challenge portion. Hidden object areas are numerous there which are all interesting to explore, though not too difficult. Dark and gray colors make the scenes a bit difficult to polish, however, no scenes can hurt your eyesight. There are about a dozen puzzles, very nicely done. They can be complex sometimes but without being bewildering. Anyway, skip button is available here. What really deserves to be mentioned is the fact that the puzzles for the most part not only fit the story but closely connected with each other so you use information from one puzzle to help solve a later one.

Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets is full of thrilling hidden object scenes that can easily provide you with 9 hour gameplay. In spite of gloomy colors, the graphics are nice to watch. The music is a little bit bleak but it is not irritating at all. Good game!
