There are no Hidden object scenes in this game but plenty of inventory items to locate, tools to be combines and a variety of mini-games to solve some were easy while others required a bit more effort on my part. Other than that, you are alone to figure out the puzzles and decipher your clues.
You have a directional hint system as well as walk indicator that will point you to available access points. There is no map to rely on so be prepare for a bit of backtracking. You have three modes of difficulty and your only tool of the trade is your journal that holds your clues, outlines your tasks and shows your current stats in the game. Voice-overs are very well done but at times dialogues do tend to ramble on. Although graphics are a bit dated, they are nevertheless, sharp and clear. I actually loved playing the demo and am anxious to play the rest of this terrific adventure game. Your help is needed and together with Malik, you set out on an adventure of a lifetime as you use your wits to find a way to enter the lair of Strix and defeat him once again. Now years later, trouble is once again brewing in the Sphere and Lord Strix has returned, this time with a new army of trolls, serpent dragons and other wasteland beasts, all marching, burning and destroying everything that gets in their way of enslaving the creatures of the Dragon Mountains. Our story is the continuing saga of your character, Mina Lockheart who had once defeated the Evil Lord Strix with the help of her trusted companion, the cute little sprite called Malik. There are no hidden object scenes to be found here, just an array of puzzles and mini-games to solve as you make your way through various quests that ultimately lead you to your final goal to stop Lord Strix from taking over the Dragon Mountain and all its inhabitants.
