Haunted Legends: Faulty Creatures

Family can make people do many awful things, mainly because the motivation is so strong and, in their minds, justified. Hence, knowing that you are helping a family member is a strong incentive to do things you normally wouldn’t even consider. On the other hand, cold logic helps a lot in these cases, even if it’s pretty difficult to keep a clear head in such situations.

Haunted Legends: Faulty Creatures is a regular hidden object adventure game that follows the usual formula of the genre, which means that there are barely any original elements. However, the story can be the factor that keeps you playing for longer than you normally would. Don’t expect a brilliant plot line either, but the mystery is intriguing enough to be worth a bit of your time.

In short, you play the role of a detective investigating the murder of an important woman who happened to be the fiance of a rich man called Alfred Oldgrey. However, things get more interesting later on, because it turns out that there’s more to investigate than a simple murder. Thus, the man’s family is involved in a few nasty affairs, some of which are not exactly natural.

As it’s always the case with HOPA games, the main goal is to investigate every scene in order to uncover useful items, as well as combine them every now and again. The challenge gets tougher when puzzles make an appearance, but the mechanics are usually simple enough to solve from the first try. In fact, it’s quite a bummer to see how simple most puzzles are, because boredom enters the picture.

Lastly, at least the graphics are alright, especially when it comes to level design and the quality of the artwork that decorates the backgrounds. Even if you are not free to explore the said environments like in a 3D adventure game, at least the atmosphere is more or less the same. The sound effects and the voice acting are decent enough not to be annoying.

In the end, Haunted Legends: Faulty Creatures is not a groundbreaking game, and it doesn’t even set itself apart in its own genre. However, it may just have the right ingredients to keep you busy for a few hours and distract you from your troubles.
