The Unseen Fears: Body Thief Collector's Edition

Weird murders may seem difficult to solve, but they usually contain a lot more clues than a body that simply disappears without a trace. Naturally, people rarely commit intricate murders that take forever to set up and plan, unless they are in a movie or some kind of video game. Obviously, such crimes are much more exciting to investigate when you play the role of a made up detective.

The Unseen Fears: Body Thief is a hidden object adventure game in which you play the role of a detective who tackles a weird case regarding a string of unusual murders. Your goal is to discover the necessary clues in order to pinpoint a suspect, but given the fact that you possess a few unique abilities as well, the whole adventure turns into quite the thrilling pursuit.

The plot starts with a victim who was apparently skinned alive using fire, yet all of her clothes are intact in spite of the damage. Your goal is to collect the clues around the murder scene and present them to the detective in charge, although the story gets even more intriguing later on. You can also speak with a few characters, but don’t expect entire dialog trees like in a regular RPG.

Although most of your time is spent analyzing each scene for items that can be picked up or used, there are also puzzles to animate the experience. Some of these puzzles are fairly simple and intuitive, but others require a bit of thinking before you can figure them out. In fact, it depends on how used you are to the genre, because at the end of the day there are not too many original concepts here.

As for the graphics, they are about as detailed as they can get in the genre, and it’s great to see that the artists managed to create such a suspenseful atmosphere using nothing but static artwork. Granted, don’t expect something akin to a 3D action game, but it’s still quite a rush to explore some of the scenes, especially thanks to the neat sound effects and great soundtrack.

The Unseen Fears: Body Thief is a very engaging puzzle game, and quite the challenging hidden object game at the same time. Hence, you can have a lot of fun with it if you enjoy a good mystery.
