Witchcraft: Pandora's Box

If you are a fan of the genre, then you are probably aware of the fact that hidden object adventure games do not try very hard to innovate things in the gameplay department, mainly because the current trends are working just fine. Hence, developers have to use the story and the puzzles to keep the games from getting too repetitive and boring.

Witchcraft: Pandora's Box is an adventure game with simple gameplay mechanics and an abundance of puzzles, in which your goal is to avoid all sorts of obstacles and make your way forward. Although the gameplay is not that different from what you may be used to, there are some variations along the way, as well as interesting puzzle combinations to keep you entertained.

The story starts when the main character’s daughter is kidnapped by an evil witch, who uses Pandora’s Box to flee to a parallel world. Naturally, you have to follow her into this strange world and do everything in your power to find your daughter and stop the witch once and for all. All sorts of traps and obstacles await you along the way, and they must be overcome if you wish to succeed.

As mentioned before, there are many combinations when it comes to the puzzles, since you often have to engage in various mini-games during hidden object sequences or vice-versa. This keeps you on your toes and prevents the experience from getting too repetitive, even if the actual mechanics never vary too much. There is also the fact that later on you get to use magic spells to your advantage.

Since the adventure takes place in a different world, the graphics are designed to emphasize that, so the artwork is very colorful and dreamy most of the time. A lot of work went into the objects you interact with along the way too, so it shouldn’t be hard to immerse yourself in the atmosphere. The soundtrack helps as well, as do the sound effects and the voice acting.

Even if Witchcraft: Pandora's Box can be a tad more demanding than your regular HOPA, you can certainly have a lot of fun with it, especially since you can still use hints and customize the difficulty level at any point throughout the game.
