Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten

Learning about your heritage can change your entire perception of who you are and where you came from, especially if you manage to find records from a really long time ago. DNA testing can help with that nowadays, and it should technically allow you to find out where your most distant ancestors lived, as long as you are willing.

Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten is a hidden object adventure game in which you get to visit the lovely country of Scotland, as well as tackle a few mysteries along the way and solve a variety of puzzles. The game features classic hidden object mechanics and a lot of detailed scenes and landscapes that should help you relax and unwind for a while, which is great for boring afternoons.

As for the story, it all starts when the main character leaves for Scotland in order to find out more about his heritage. However, things take a weird twist and you find yourself thrown back in time, as well as face-to-face with one of your ancestors. To make matters worse, your ancestor is kidnapped by a bandit, which prompts a rescue mission in order to restore everything back to normal.

When it comes to the actual gameplay, every hidden object fan should be familiar with the mechanics, since there are no major changes in any regard. As such, you have to explore the scenes, collect everything that may come in handy later on, and solve a few puzzles every now and again. In case they happen to be too complicated or time-consuming for you, the game allows you to skip them entirely, although much of the fun is lost this way.

Thankfully, the graphics are gorgeous in every regard, but especially when it comes to level design and the exquisite landscapes you get to visit. Not only that, but each scene contains a staggering amount of detail, and even the cutscenes are pretty nicely done. As for the soundtrack, the music should be a good companion throughout the story, but you’ll only hear environmental sounds most of the time.

All things considered, Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten is a great hidden object game, especially if you are a fan of the series and similar adventures. Moreover, the puzzles should provide you with quite the challenge as well.
