Midnight Calling: Valeria Collector's Edition

People can acclimate to a lot of things, even extreme weather conditions if they truly have no choice. Hence, there are humans living in every kind of climate on Earth, including polar environments and scorching hot deserts. Naturally, they use a variety of methods to protect themselves from the weather, since it’s still very difficult to survive sometimes.

Midnight Calling: Valeria is a classic hidden object adventure game that challenges you to solve a mystery using your wits and nothing else. The story is as straightforward and predictable as you might expect, which is not a problem if you know what you are in for. The puzzles and the hidden object sequences are enjoyable enough to keep your mind busy.

Speaking of which, the story revolves around a strange phenomenon that causes the whole world to cool down and get colder and colder every day. Naturally, you seem to be the only person who can do something about the whole thing, which is why you go on a journey to investigate the cause of the mystery and maybe return the whole world back to normal before things get out of hand.

Your mission throughout the game is to investigate every scene for clues and gather the necessary objects to unlock the way forward. Sometimes you have to tackle a special puzzle or an actual hidden object sequence, but none of them are particularly difficult, especially if you are a veteran of the genre. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it might annoy players with more experience, because the adventure tends to get repetitive.

Lastly, at least the visuals are as colorful and detailed as you’ve come to expect in the genre if you are a long-time enthusiast, which means that every scene features incredible artwork and a few particle effects added on top. The soundtrack is nicely integrated into the experience, not to mention the decent voice acting featured in the cutscenes.

When it’s all said and done, Midnight Calling: Valeria is obviously not an original concept oozing with new ideas, but it’s a polished adventure with all the right elements to show you a good time. Moreover, the puzzles can be engaging enough to distract you from everything else for a while.
