Solve the riddle of the mysterious murder at the Hotel Noir in the newest hidden object game! Collect all clues and... don't trust anyone!
The gameplay in this title primarily revolves around searching detailed scenes to locate the items listed at the bottom of the screen. Players take on the role of a detective investigating a mysterious murder at the Hotel Noir. Reviewers noted that the hidden object searches are generally straightforward, with objects being well-camouflaged but not overly difficult to find.
In addition to the standard item hunts, the game incorporates a variety of other mini-games and puzzles. These include silhouette challenges, where players must match shapes to their corresponding objects, as well as disassembled object puzzles that task players with restoring fragmented items. Reviewers appreciated this mix of hidden object tasks, which helps to prevent the gameplay from feeling repetitive.
One of the game's strengths is its relaxed, non-time-pressured approach. While bonuses are awarded for faster completion, players can take their time searching each scene without strict time limits. This allows for a more casual, exploration-focused experience, which several reviewers found appealing.
Reviewers praised the game's visual presentation, describing the colorful, atmospheric scenes as well-designed, with pleasing 2D graphics and effective 3D visual enhancements. The piano and violin soundtrack was also highlighted as a positive element that enhances the game's noir-inspired ambiance.
