Sable Maze: Sinister Knowledge Collector's Edition

People love to attribute special powers to common objects, especially if they happen to be ancient objects that exhibit strange features. Thus, there are all sorts of items along the way that are believed to be magical, as well as many “lost” artifacts that theoretically have even greater powers. Naturally, there are plenty of adventurers out there who are trying to unearth these treasures.

Sable Maze: Sinister Knowledge is a hidden object adventure game in which you get to enjoy a fascinating mystery and try to unravel it to the best of your abilities. The gameplay does not excel in any way, given the fact that the developers did not introduce any new mechanics or brave ideas. As such, it should be simple to get started if you are already familiar with the genre.

As for the story, it all starts when someone manages to discover the McCordan Library, which was thought to be lost forever. Naturally, the said library contains a couple of incredibly powerful tomes, which could destroy the world if the wrong person gets to them before you. On the other hand, the mansion is full of deadly traps, so you must do your best to avoid them and get to the bottom of the mystery.

Every now and again the monotony is broken by the occasional puzzle, which allows you to put your mind to work and tackle all sorts of riddles. While it’s true that most puzzles have the same gimmick at their core, some can be trickier than others, depending on how quick you can identify the required pattern. There are a few mini-games  you can enjoy as well.

On the other hand, the hidden object scenes are your bread and butter, because most of the game has you exploring certain rooms and areas in order to find useful items and take them with you. Obviously, the graphics are extremely detailed, although that’s mainly because the engine is not three-dimensional and you are not free to move as you desire around the environment.

All things considered, Sable Maze: Sinister Knowledge is quite the experience, regardless of whether you are an old fan of the genre or a newcomer ready to try something new. Thus, if you are aching for an adventure and you do not mind the slow gameplay, this can easily keep you busy for a few hours.
