Nevertales: Hidden Doorway Collector's Edition

Hidden object games are usually relaxing and enjoyable, because there are no fast-paced mechanics to demand your full attention at all times. It’s also not required to have fast reflexes or a powerful computer, which is great for casual gamers looking for a bit of fun every now and again. On the other hand, they can get pretty repetitive after a while if you play too many of them.

Nevertales: Hidden Doorway is a classic hidden object adventure game in which you have to solve simple puzzles and follow the story to its natural conclusion by exploring each area and collecting the items that help you move on. There’s nothing original when it comes to gameplay mechanics, which means that you can apply your knowledge from previous games.

The story is pretty engaging, since it involves different dimensions and paranormal events. As such, you play the role of a woman who finds her boyfriend without his spirit one day, which prompts a lengthy adventure behind a mysterious doorway. Thus, the goal is to retrieve your boyfriend’s spirit and make it alive back to the real world.

Just as always, there are all sorts of puzzles and riddles to challenge your ability to solve problems, and they all have pretty obvious answers if you are familiar with the genre. Granted, some may take some tinkering, but not because you don’t understand how to solve it, but because it takes a while to find the right pattern and move various pieces around.

As for the graphics, they are as colorful and detailed as ever, thanks to the fact that there are no 3D environments and no real-time rendering. Hence, everything is static and painted into the background, which means that you cannot move around freely or look at the scenes from different angles. On the other hand, this is definitely preferable to something like a choppy engine with annoying bugs.

All things considered, Nevertales: Hidden Doorway may not provide you with any new experiences, but it’s fun enough to distract you from your routine. On top of that, the adventure is quite engaging when you consider the world you get to visit along the way. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
