Darkness and Flame: Born of Fire Collector's Edition

Adventures never start as such, especially in fairly tales or books. Hence, the heroes end up on the road or in a strange land by accident, which is why the journey is so full of interesting challenges and trials. On the other hand, everyone seems to be able to tackle these challenges from the first try, regardless of the fact that they are not trained for the job.

Darkness and Flame: Born of Fire is a hidden object adventure game in which you play the role of an ordinary girl who finds herself in an extraordinary situation. In case you are hoping for something new in the gameplay department, the truth is that everything is as classic as it gets for the genre. Thus, you are usually investigating the environment and trying to find useful objects while doing so.

The story puts you in the role of a young girl living with her father, who one day is forced to leave home and go on a dangerous adventure. Not only that, but she also finds a strange egg that turns out to be a firebird. Naturally, the egg hatches and Alice is faced with a great journey ahead of her, a journey that takes her to distant parts of the world full of interesting, but dangerous things.

As for the puzzles, they seem to be a tad more enjoyable than in a regular hidden object adventure game, which means that you should stumble upon a challenge more often than usual. The puzzles are more intriguing as well, which means that they feature engaging mechanics and ingenious solutions sometimes. On the other hand, the rest of the gameplay can be just as dull and predictable.

The best part of the game is actually the visual appearance, because the artwork is exquisite and insanely detailed. Every landscape is dreamy, not to mention the fact that there are plenty of locations you can visit along the way. The sound effects are well-chosen too, and the same can be said about the soundtrack, even if it doesn’t always play in the background.

In the end, Darkness and Flame: Born of Fire has enough beauty in it to attract adventure fans, even if the gameplay gets repetitive after a while. The story is quite intriguing, even if there’s nothing original about it.
