League of Light: The Gatherer

Being a detective that deals with supernatural cases and all sorts of mysterious phenomena means that you are constantly exposed to many dangers, some of which may never come up in a regular individual’s life. However, people who do this are usually quite ready to bite the bullet, and they might even enjoy being in trouble more often than not.

League of Light: The Gatherer is a hidden object adventure game in which you play the role of a detective trying to unravel a mysterious case involving magic and a mysterious kidnapping. Most of the gameplay revolves around being able to examine the environment with care and noticing anything out of the ordinary, as well as collecting important items in order to use them later on.

The story revolves around a League of Light agent who gets a call from his friend who needs his help. However, it turns out that someone else has made it to him first when you reach the city, because the guard denies you access on the grounds that a League of Light agent has already entered the city with the same credentials. This is how the adventure begins, and it’s quite full of interesting situations.

Every now and again you take a break from hidden object scenes to tackle some sort of puzzles, although not even these are very difficult. In essence, most of them require you to pick up on a specific pattern and apply it until the puzzle is solved. There are variations, but it’s a bit annoying that you have to go through the same thing over and over again instead of enjoying yourself with a variety of puzzle types.

As for the graphics, the game certainly excels in this regard, even if the landscapes and most of the artwork is hand-drawn, and thus not very animated. The designers put everything together wonderfully, on the other hand, which is why the atmosphere can be very immersive most of the time. There’s also voice acting and a nice soundtrack going at it in the background.

All things considered, League of Light: The Gatherer is more than able to provide you with a few hours of entertainment, at least if you’ve got nothing against the casual puzzles and the lightweight story. It also looks very nice and it has the power to change your mood in a matter of seconds.
