Paranormal Pursuit: The Gifted One Collector's Edition

A lot of hidden object games take you on fairytale journeys in makebife lands where you have to solve a mystery that involves witches, demons and evil wizards but sometimes you get one that has its roots in the real world.

Such an example is Paranormal Pursuit: The Gifted One Collector's Edition, where you play the role of a female social worker who initially responds to another child abuse case when in fact it’s much more than that and the paranormal takes over.

The game starts off with a man apparently locking his son in the basement for an unknown reason. The boy manages to manipulate the mind of a stranger who passes his house and makes him make a call to social services to report child abuse.

Once you appear at the house to investigate, things start to get off track as everything seems to be pointing to the fact that something is not right. Once you make your way into the basement where little Kevin is being held, things take an unexpected turn as the child is anything but ordinary and it seems that there is someone out there planning to kidnap all the unusually gifted children.

Whether you have a lot of experience with hidden object games or not, nearly all the puzzles will be easy to solve. Since game mechanics are the same as in most hidden object games out there, you’ll easily figure out what needs to be looked at, collected and used.

The puzzles rely very much on basic logic but you still need to keep an eye out for clues. Some items are well hidden and like it says on Kevin’s hoody, you have to trust your instincts.

Paranormal Pursuit: The Gifted One Collector's Edition isn’t as captivating as other games from the genre and that applies to the story, as well as to the puzzles and their level of difficulty. Although, playing it is still is a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
