The Forgotten Fairy Tales: The Spectra World

As far as superstitions go, curses are probably the most widespread around the world, and also probably some of the oldest. It’s difficult to say just how many variations and types of curses are out there, but you can be certain that if you have lived to the age of twenty, you probably did something to end up with a curse upon you. Thankfully, real-life curses are not as gruesome as those seen in movies.

The Forgotten Fairy Tales: The Spectra World is a hidden object game that allows you to be a part of a classic fantasy world for a while and deal with all sorts of annoying spells and villains. There are no major gameplay changes if you are a regular of the genre, so it should be smooth sailing right from the start, in spite of the different scenery and the fantasy storyline.   Speaking of which, the story revolves around a teacher who has her whole family turned to stone after opening a strange package. In order to break this curse and save her husband and daughter, the teacher must travel around the world and tackle a variety of nasty obstacles. It would appear that some kind of evil entity is behind all this as well, which is an extra challenge to overcome.

As mentioned before, things go as usual in the gameplay department, which means that you have to look closely at every scene and make sure you pick up everything that comes in handy. After that, these objects can be used as part of various puzzles, although nothing too complex. Some mini-games break up the action as well, but nothing too wild.   As far as the graphics are concerned, they are pretty standard for the genre, but one cannot ignore the fact that every scene looks gorgeous, especially since they are packed with a lot of detail. The soundtrack and the sound effects are not bad either, not to mention the fact that every cutscene provides you with valuable information on the story and the characters.

In the end, The Forgotten Fairy Tales: The Spectra World is not very original, but it has the required ingredients to keep you entertained for a few hours. The graphics are really neat as well, even if you are not free to move in 3D.
