Adam Wolfe: Flames of Time

Time is one thing we cannot actually control, which is why people are pretty much enslaved by it. However, we certainly have all sorts of ideas regarding the subject, especially when it comes to books and video games that deal with time travel and similar concepts. Hence, we can at least imagine what it would be like to go backward and forward through time.

Adam Wolfe: Flames of Time is a hidden object adventure game in which you play the role of Adam Wolfe, a detective tasked with handling the cases that appear to be of the supernatural kind. In essence, everything is more or less the same as in most HOPAs out there, except that this one is a tad more action-packed and interactive than most every now and again.

The story challenges you to investigate the disappearance of your sister, although things get significantly more complicated than that along the way. Naturally, time travel is a useful gimmick for whenever you need to tackle a riddle that has no apparent answer, but there are all sorts of puzzles as well, not just time travel-related ones.

The detective also has a few other tools at his disposal, including a gun. Since you deal with dangerous individuals over the course of the story, sometimes you have to make use of this gun, so there are a few graphic sections you need to watch out for. Granted, it’s not a gore-fest like most shooters out there, but it’s certainly more than what you may be used to from other adventure games.

Speaking of which, the graphics look great as well, especially when it comes to the artwork, the character design and the backgrounds that decorate every scene. The experience can get pretty immersive in the right conditions, but the lack of fluid animations might bring you down to Earth more often than not. On the other hand, the sound effects and the voice acting are more than capable to keep the illusion going.

In spite of the casual nature of the game, Adam Wolfe: Flames of Time can actually provide you with a lot of fun, especially if you are a fan of puzzles and hidden object scenes. Hence, it’s certainly a very polished game with a lot of interesting content.
