The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book

People enjoy attributing special properties to otherwise regular objects, especially if they can get some kind of benefits from the whole deal. Hence, many people have some sort of item in their possession that supposedly brings good luck, which is especially true for those who enjoy gambling. However, there are also objects that are cursed, or they bring bad luck, as well as a variety of other such beliefs.

The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book is a hidden object adventure game in which you have to unravel a mystery and investigate all sorts of supernatural items, some of which are not very lucky. In essence, the game features classic gameplay mechanics when it comes to the puzzles and the way you interact with the world, which means that it should be easy to get started if you are familiar with the genre.

The story starts when the main character cannot find her uncle, who owns an antique store full of interesting items from the past. As it turns out, these items are actually much more than just nice old things, since they have unique powers that can change the world. Thus, you must use their power in order to find your uncle and revert everything back to normal.

Besides the classic hidden object scenes that have you investigate a certain area until you find every useful item, you also have to tackle the occasional puzzle. These puzzles are not exactly complicated, but they can require a fair bit of tinkering sometimes, mainly because they ask you to go through a handful of possible permutations. Most of them feature similar mechanics, on the other hand, so it should get easier after the first couple.

The one thing that truly shines about the game is the quality of the backgrounds, because the artwork is quite engaging. Each landscape contains a staggering amount of detail, and you can actually envision the fascinating places you visit along the way. Granted, the sound effects and the voice acting are not exactly top notch, but you can easily ignore this aspect.

Although there’s nothing new under the sun in regards to puzzles and gameplay, The Keeper of Antiques: The Revived Book is still a fine HOPA game, especially if you are a fan of the genre. Hence, this can certainly keep you busy for a few hours, at least if the mystery is attractive enough for your imagination.
