Given the 14.99 price point, I cannot recommend this game. I noticed quite a few typos, the story is pretty weak, and the gameplay is not great. Both the puzzles and the hidden object scenes are far too easy and the game is too short. It only took me a bit over 5 hours to get all achievements and clear both the main game and the bonus chapter and that actually includes some AFK time, possibly as much as an hour.

相对于其他同类型游戏，流程非常短；寻物谜题比较杂乱、与背景/主题配合得不好，打全成就玫瑰收集不是很友好（有的场景解密之后回不去）。在同类型游戏中肯定在后50%里。

撤回一个差评，玩完额外章节之后火气也消了，如果不是冗杂的寻物，游戏的设计其实很有意思，还是推荐玩的

-----第一次评论-----
一个只有名字翻译的很好的游戏，本来找物就很多很繁琐，翻译又不准，玩到后边真没脾气了，秉持着有始有终的原则坚持玩到了结尾，解谜一般，感觉更适合给小孩子当益智游戏玩，如果花钱不建议入

Interesting story, lovely graphics, HOG have a few objects that are well hidden and are divided into normal HOgs and build an object. Mini-games make sense within the plot line and are not so hard or random that you need a walkthrough. Roses are strategically placed but solid red objects. There are also only 17 instead of the many collectibles. I got all the achievements on my first run, except playing the kittens.

I finished the game, and I have a lot of questions!

- Why is there a character in Prague who is supposed to be Czech, but he's wearing a typically Russian hat and has a Russian accent?
- Why are all the villains red haired?
- Why, when upgrading the robot Atom, does red liquid spray out that looks like blood?
- AND BIG WHAT - What happened to the kittens and Doug? Did they drown?

I like most of the games from Artifex Mundi, but this one really traumatized me.

Juego muy sencillito de objetos ocultos. De duración promedio (aunque el capítulo adicional está bien de duración), los puzzles son bastante sencillos y los juegos de pistas, excepto alguna traducción algo complicada, también fáciles. No tiene alternativa como otros juegos para sacarlos, así que si no encuentras la referencia, te tocará devanarte los sesos o ir probando.

El argumento, pues el típico de este tipo de juegos. Mecánicas sencillas sin mucha adición (más allá de la parte del robot, pero que no añade tampoco nada novedoso) y banda sonora correcta. Bastante diálogo para lo que son este tipo de juegos.

En definitiva, juego correcto que, sin destacar especialmente en ningún apartado, entretiene y sirve como desconexión entre juegos más grandes. Recomendado si lo encuentras en oferta (como suele ser habitual en este tipo de juegos) y para aficionados al género.

This was fine. The concept of the dream machine was interesting. The game sure talks a lot about the artifact/evil spirit without really giving us any details on it. The game play was alright, the setting was attractive. The plot was okay. Probably wouldn't play again but not a bad play through.

Tja. So wirklich weiß ich nicht, was ich von diesem Titel halten soll. Es war ... okay. Fassen wir doch mal ein paar Punkte zusammen:

Pro: BioShock auf Wish bestellt
Gibt es irgendjemanden, der bei der Untersee-Thematik nicht sofort an Rapture denkt? Obwohl man das als abgekupfert empfinden könnte, hat das Spiel für mich durch die Thematik der Traummaschine noch genug eigene Ideen. Apropos Träume: es gefiel mir gut, dass diese besucht werden können. Schade daran: diese Passagen sind arg kurz ausgefallen.

Kontra: Viel Backtracking
Es ist stellenweise lächerlich, wie viel man damit beschäftigt ist, zwischen den Schauplätzen zu wechseln. Da ich die Schnellreise benutzt habe, die einem auf leichten Schwierigkeitsgrad sogar anzeigt, wo was zu machen ist, wars noch erträglich. Aber die Vorstellung, ich müsste mich 20 Minuten immer wieder vom Keller ins dritte Obergeschoss klicken ... Gott Bewahre!

Kontra: Zweifelhafte Hotspots
Das Spiel hat die unangenehme Angewohnheit, Hotspots erst nach und nach und das oftmals für den Spieler völlig unverständlich freizuschalten. Alle Nase lang ist man damit beschäftigt, wieder zurückzuklicken, um zu überprüfen, ob drei Räume zuvor nicht doch auf einmal was einzusammeln ist. Mich persönlich - die bei Rätseln sowieso keine Geduld hat - nervt sowas.

Kontra: Rund und schlüssig ist anders
An einigen Stellen wirkt das Spiel nicht ganz rund. Beispiel dafür wäre für mich das Einsammeln der Katzenbabys (wer dachte sich bitte: "hihi, ich bin Bösi McBöse und verstecke süße Katzenbabies an absurden Stellen!") oder der Mechaniker im Keller, der aussieht, als wäre er Davy Jones von der Flying Dutchman entflohen. Gerade über letzteren hätte ich dann doch gerne etwas mehr erfahren.

Obwohl es so wirkt, als ob ich nur am Spiel herumnörgeln würde, mag ich es trotz dessen ganz gerne. Den Vollpreis würde ich nicht bezahlen, aber gerade bei 80% Rabatt hat man letztlich ja nicht viel zu verlieren. Die Wimmelbildpassagen und die Minispiele machten mir Spaß und das ist für mich bei der Art von Spiel die Hauptsache.

6/10 in Lüftungsschächten versteckte Katzenbabies

I don't recommend The Emerald Maiden: Symphony of Dreams. It is a functional Hidden Object Mystery, but the puzzles are very easy and several of the story's twists turn out to simply be the main antagonist putting on a puppet show for the benefit of the protagonist. The aesthetics are generally good, with some nice underwater resort set pieces in the general vibe of Bioshock. There's a cool technician on staff who is half sea creature. I just... don't feel that the plot holds together very well.

There's two simulated areas based on the home of a low-contact South American tribe, both with Hidden Object Puzzles featuring items from Africa, such as tiger and elephant statues. The first area was short and seemed more of a recreation of a dream sequence, so I gave it some slack. The second area was more grounded, so the items from tribal cultures around the world came across as being more out of place.

The bonus chapter is good, and helps ground the main story in reality, by revealing who funded the protagonist's trip to the submerged hotel, and how the place was still stocked with supplies years past the disappearance of the protagonist's family. That said, the fetch quests in the bonus chapter are resolved with items found in some pretty absurd locations. Plus, the protagonist doesn't want to break a lot of things throughout the game, but is somehow suddenly fine with shooting a cannon into a storefront...

Definitely not the best HOG game out there. The concept and story had so much potential but was poorly executed, the narration wasn't interesting, the tasks didn't always make sense, sometimes it was difficult to figure out what step logically came next, it seemed like some dialogue/clues were missing when you clicked something that required an action, there was a lot of backtracking (thank goodness for the map and quick travel!), the bonus chapter was absolute nonsense, I saw some basic spelling errors, some of the mini games were horrendous, and while some of the hidden object scenes were unique and good, others were frustrating. This all detracted from how much fun the game was. If you can tolerate and persevere with the trickier hidden object scenes and mini games, then it's not bad to get 100% achievements (use a guide for the collectables as you won't want to play it again!), but it's still a relatively short HOG (3 hours). There are much better alternative HOGs out there that I recommend far more than this one.

One of the better stories in the HOG series I have played from Artifex Mundi. Probably because of another developer, Gogii Games, the story is very interesting and keeps you going. A lot of new or different puzzles, and I played like 10 of these kind of games. I bought it on sale, but it is worth the money.

Concepto interesante, y una ambientación brutal, aunque claro, no puedes evitar compararlo con Abyss, se nota que son los mismos creadores,

Es fácil quedarse atascado, en algunas partes diría que es uno de los juegos más desafiantes de Artifex, aunque también es porque a veces se rebuscan mucho en uso de X objeto haciéndote probar todo lo que llevas encima.

La historia me ha gustado mucho, es un concepto muy interesante, aunque alguna que otra cosa podría haberse enlazado mejor, no está nada mal.

I am 32 years old.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.

Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.

With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.

After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.

Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.

Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.

Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.

Thank you.

[h1]Our two worlds are becoming one[/h1]

The Emerald Maiden: Symphony of Dreams is a hidden object game about a young woman who was abandoned in an orphanage 25 years ago with an emerald necklace around her neck; as she grew up, she wondered why her mother had left her and disappeared without any trace. One day, she received an invitation to a mysterious destination. The only reason she decided to go was the attached photo of her mother carrying her as an infant. Finally, she'll learn who her mother is and, perhaps, find her there. She got onto the cruise and then to the undersea complex called Emerald Maiden, where she tried to follow all the clues she had in hand to find out what this place is, what the 'Dream Machine' is for, and why her parents were connected to all of this.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3150468673

The artwork is a little bit dated. The game is pretty old, so I wasn't expecting much. The voice acting is good, as well as the soundtracks. I liked the puzzles; some are pretty difficult and original to Artefix games. The hidden objects scenes were okay; nothing looked logical there, only a pile of clutter. The dream machine is an excellent idea. You will visit different scenes and achieve several objectives to help you complete the story.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3150530281

The collectibles are not challenging to find, and the video reels made no sense to me; I was confused watching them as I saw them. I might have missed something in the story, but I was confused most of the time; the main objective is clear, but why they ended up like that made no sense to me.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3150467955

Pros:
+Beautiful graphics.
+OK soundtracks.
+Good voice-overs.
+Varieties of puzzles.
+Collectibles.
+Fast traveling map.
+Steam achievements.

Cons:
-Mediocre story.
-The journal doesn't keep track of the story (showing only the objectives and videos)

I can't say I had a blast playing it, but it wasn't terrible; I still haven't played the bonus chapter yet, as the main game dragged too much. It took me almost five hours to finish it; the little robo-helper is cute! I only recommend it to hardcore HOGs fans at a huge discount.

[u]Recommendation[/u]: Another fun hidden-object game from Artifex Mundi that has a lot of superficial similarities with the setting of [u]Bioshock[/u].

[u]Critique[/u]: At first, this seems to have less in common with other Artifex Mundi hidden object games: even though you play a female protagonist, use coins as screwdrivers, do lots of the same puzzles, it somehow feels fresh because of the mid-century science fiction aesthetic and the fact that the people that you interact with early in the game are crude holographic recordings of people rather than the people themselves. Having a justification for why one is creeped out by the uncanny valley is [i]great[/i] here. Unfortunately, that breaks down by the end of the game, when you run into real people with horrible animations, and discover that there is still a supernatural menace after all. A lot of Artifex Mundi games have fantastically twisted, Byzantine plots, and to me that's a strength. This game is no exception: the plot is an amusement park ride where you don't know how the story will develop as you reach each milestone.

The other fun/funny bit is that this is one of the Artifex Mundi subgenre of games in which you have a little NPC "helper" that helps you get things you can't reach or interact with on your own. In some games it's a squirrel or a bird. In this one, it's a little robot helper that flies around with a propeller head, then [i]uses its face to unlock doors[/i]! It's hysterical, watching your little robot buddy awkwardly face-plant to open doors/activate switches: a little bit of slapstick in an otherwise very melodramatic game.

[u]Review[/u]: [spoiler]Back in the 1950s, fear of the Cold War sparked a brain trust of paranoid scientists to create an undersea refuge from the world. You - an orphaned girl - have finally discovered the location of this sea base, and the game begins as you arrive and begin to try to trick or satisfy the automated systems of the base so that you can enter. You discover that, for the most part, there are no people left on the base, but it is possible to continue your detective work by using the systems on the base, which include "dream" recordings: alternative worlds that you can enter if you find the requisite discs. In the process, you find that your father was one of the masterminds of this dream park. Miraculously, it seems that your father is still alive, living as a sort of sinister "phantom of the opera" figure, setting up traps and sabotaging systems to try to drive you off. But eventually you find the source of the dream park technology: an ancient spirit that was plundered from the Amazon. She has been puppeting your father for decades, and now wants to take over your body! With the help of some hideously mutated survivors (straight out of Davy Jones' crew from the [u]Pirates of the Caribbean[/u] movies), you have to figure out how to defeat the evil spirit and free your father from his eternal bondage.[/spoiler]

I've pushed away my playthrough for this game, and I believe it's very much a mistake for me to judge it in surface level. It was more of a preference when I saw the jungle in one of the screenshots as I am more into buildings, structures, storylines that portray sovereignty gone wrong. However, after experiencing the story myself, I was proven wrong.

The voice acting and puzzles is really good, but cutscenes were a little less high quality despite the option. Achievement-wise you are also not forced to play the hardest difficulty, hence, less playthroughs. The story was impeccable, truly a craft by Gogii and Artifex. Another solid [u]9/10[/u] rating for me, to recommend, no questions asked.

This was a great hidden-object game. The text-adventure made sense without any leaps of Bat-Logic needed; if you needed to open a door you had to find a key, not a bottle of aspirin and a pair of cymbals like in some Artifex Mundi games. The store was easy to follow and actually made sense, and all the puzzles and mini-games were both different than the usual sliding puzzles and interesting and all were solvable without a hint guide. Additionally, there was a nice variety of hidden-object scenes: some were the standard checklist of find a dozen items, but some required you to put items together based on silhouettes or assemble an object using parts hidden around the hidden-object screen.

As with many such games, you had to find one extra hidden object per scene-- in this case, a rose-- but as roses are red, they were all easily found.

Note for achievement hunters: all are doable and acquirable, but quite a few are optional and thus missable, so if you're a perfectionist check a guide or the discussion forums before you start as there are things you might not consider doing. There's a bonus chapter but it is short and has no achievements.

Welcome to Rapture...I mean...Eh. I forgot what it's called! Let's just call it Rapture, LOL XD!

Pretty good game overall, but I mostly liked the creativity around the places and the story, and "the dream machine", and the fact that everything took place under the sea (unda the sea xD!). As always Artifex Mundi's games looks good, and is exciting to play. The music annoyed me a bit, since it sounded somewhat like the Simpson's intro, and it was on constant loop.

The bonus game was also pretty cool! Almost more exciting than the main game itself, if you believe it!

There were a few negative things I came across though...Normally these games are flawless, but I saw more spelling errors in this game, than I have done in most of these games. It's a little bit disappointing.

However, the most annoying thing for me was that I was unable to pick up all the collectables in my first playthrough. After getting to the point where I felt I was starting to get close to the ending of the game, I checked out the locations, and where to find them. At that point I only missed one, but I was unable to take it, because the scene where it happened was suddenly unavailable, after progressing into the game.

Now this kinda had a domino effect where I finished the game, and had to start it over again. When I then finally found the last collectable I was missing, and wanted to play the bonus game, I was kinda forced to play through the full game over again, to get access to it. Whenever I exited, there was no option to start the bonus game until I was completly done with my 2nd playthrough.

I do recommend this game all over, because I thought it was a cool place, cool story, and a lot of creativity. The Bonus Story was actually pretty good, but had obviously just the fault that some part of it made me cringe. Good game!

Very good. Well done game. I spent about 7 hours on it but I did use the hint button quite a bit. The story confused me somewhat but that was probably my fault. There appeared to be provision for a sequel but I have been unable to find it. If I do find it I will buy it. No complaints.

The game is good. Some puzzles are hard, but most are easy to do.
There is plenty of story, that is revealed well within the progress of the gameplay.
Achievements are easy enough to do without following guides, which is because of the good structure of the game that is always sequential. If you are stuck - take a hint (or look up and through windows).

You should enjoy this game - it is simple, short and sweet and has kittens! :D

Wow. This game grabbed my attention from the start.
This is a Hidden Object Adventure game with Bonus Game. I have Windows 11 OS, and the game ran great on it.
It has a nice balance of story, adventure, HOPs, & mini games. Something about the whole game, story & all got me hooked right away.

Please sir, may I have some more?!

An average hidden object game that is fully voice-acted and animated.

Graphics are a bit dated but overall, the game looks decent. The backgrounds, locations, and characters are mostly bland and uninteresting. Shockingly, some hidden object scenes seem to have glitched or unfinished backgrounds with missing parts and badly cut image elements.

Sounds are OK, but some tracks have been reused from another game of the publisher, Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden.

The story and ambience are average and do not really manage to keep the player's interest. There are several points that needed some kind of explanation but the game just did not want to address these.

Some of the required actions are incomprehensible; for example, the player is asked by one of the side-characters to push a button - except there is no button, it must be found first. But then why not ask the player to find the button instead?

With the exception of some minigames, the game is very easy.

The collectibles and achievements are hard to miss, with the exception of one. There is also a bonus chapter that continues the story but does not conclude it.

Surprisingly, there are inconsistencies in the game; for example, the hidden object scene asks for a 'spyglass' but the item to find is actually a hand glass.

This is above average on the Mountain Crime Requital scale.

I like what they did with some of the games and the puzzles, which was refreshing. The art is nice, and there are kittens, which is always a win. The story was okay, I like the small red herring they had for a moment, but then the bonus chapter leaves you at a --- not a cliffhanger, but it certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

It feels like there's a sequel, but it's not on steam (it seems) -- and so the ending is not at all very satisfying because of that. Oh well. Still, it was a fun experience. Highly recommend especially if it's on sale!

Another fun point and click game <3 I love playing these a lot and so far there has only been one I didn't like so far, thankfully it wasn't this one. Generally these tend to be the same thing over and over with slightly different stories but I found this one to be pretty interesting! Easy to complete too!

This was a really fun hidden object adventure game. It had a very bioshock feel to it as far as aesthetics and story. The whole thing takes place on a giant city ship, so just like bioshock its that steampunk underwater facility feel to it. Of course the gameplay is a hidden object adventure game not an FPS.

Kolejny HOG od Artifexu (a przynajmniej przez niego wydany) - to dalej "to samo". Jak podobały się poprzednie gry, to ta też podejdzie.

Z różnic: mocne inspiracje BioShockiem. Błędów niewiele, już w pierwszym filmiku były niedopasowane napisy, ale potem w sumie nic nie przeszkadzało. Jedynie róże do zbierania mogą zirytować, bo są takie pojedyncze sztuki, które jak się pominie, to zostaje restart - ale to ma znaczenie tylko jak się chce zdobyć osiągnięcia, bo to dość łatwe 100%. Dodatkowa historia też jest ok.

Krótkie i przyjemne, po prostu.

Неплохой представитель игр жанра "Поиск предмета". Нарисовано красиво, проходится ровно. Порадовал режим "Эксперт" и совсем не порадовало достижение-сюрприз, из-за которого пришлось заного спидранить игру.

В целом, игра не плохая. По скидке можно взять.

[h1] Уже вторая игра в подобном жанре из виденных, которая вдохновилась подводным городом Восторг из Биошока [/h1]

И в целом игра приятная, как по аудиовизуалу, так и по сюжету. Очень много видеовставок и некоторые даже надоедают своим однообразием вроде тех видео путешествий в сновидения. Но в целом это скорее придирки и игра опять же является уже привычной отдушиной в когорте сложных игр. Тут опять же никто никуда не подгоняет и просто спокойно двигаешься по сюжету без всяких надоедливых сплайсеров.

Поэтому даже можно обойтись без привычных плюс минус, потому что в этом виде игр они уже стандартны и ничего нового здесь также нет. Можно даже сказать, что серия топчется на месте и не предлагает более серьёзные сюжеты. Но с другой стороны может и не нужно нагромождать привычные игры излишними элементами и просто отдохнуть в очередной вечер, а также добавить себе в библиотеку очередную идеальную игру в плане выполненных достижений.

I was not the best HOG I've played but definitely not the worst. But do buy it on sale. Enjoyed some of the mini games a great deal.

I'd say I recommend the first half, 2/3 of the game , then it becomes horribly cheap as if the team was on an impossible deadline or lost a designer.
So only get it on a discount.
It's a pity really because the game starts very promising:
The soundtrack is limited but beautifully haunting and it suits the undersea's setting perfectly. The graphics are also pleasing during the first half of the game. But once you enter dream 2 the backgrounds consist mostly of photo collages .
The bonus game is even worse : photo collage and crude drawings, a static sea and a cliché story line that attempts to interest you in a sequel.
I' d much rather have had a bonus game about the inventor and his cats !

Typical game for the Publisher, but a quite ok story (Bioshock anyone?) and nice hidden object scenes. Lots of cutscenes, no really tough puzzles and fairly short. I enjoyed it.

They packed a lot of ~plot~ into those first 15 seconds. Get it on mega sale and buckle in for a wild, and somewhat bewildering ride that will make you google when Bioshock came out. (It came out in 2007 if you were wondering.) The bonus chapter is hilarious.

You can get all the achievements in one play through.

If you prefer the hidden object portion of Artifex's typical HOG's, and don't mind a patchwork story with early portions ripped directly from Bioshock, then this one's for you. Of note are a large number of cutscenes and frequent areas of incongruent, anachronistic and even amateur art styles. It's almost like the artists and writers just stitched together assets from three incomplete games. Anyway, as with all of these Artifex games, they're absolutely not worth full price, and should be picked up when they go on sale every two months or so.

My notes below are given relative to the quality of other HOG's, since this is generally a B-Movie gaming category.

[h1]The Good[/h1]
+Useful map
+Hints and skips available
+Frequent HO scenes, a few challenging
+Lots and lots of animated scenes
+Nice music
+Mostly decent voice acting
+Bonus chapter
+Collectibles are reasonable to find

[h1]YMMV[/h1]
~3 difficulties, though first two are very hand-holdy
~No journal to hold notes
~Art quality varies wildly, from photo to low budget cartoon qualities
~Also a number of anachronisms, especially in the bonus chapter
~2.5-4 hours of playtime, depending on difficulty
~Story has a number of unexplained events/characters

[h1]The Bad[/h1]
-Difficulty changes don't take effect until you close and reopen game
-A number of incorrect or misleading HO item descriptions
-Multiple scenes where feedback is missing when clicking on items
-Portions of the game are rife with typos

故事和解谜结合得还算不错，非常适合能动脑但是不能动太多的人（乐）。汉化整体问题不大，对剧情没什么影响，但是在几个寻物关卡里面会影响（明明要找的是羽毛扇子，结果要求的是风扇，这谁找得到啊喂）。剧本上我不太满意的地方就是结局那里设置的有点繁琐，不过都能玩到结局了也不太会在意这点小瑕疵。就小游戏而言，吃两口味道挺不错的。：D

The title's terrible but the game is actually pretty good. That Bioshock style carries it to an extent. Doesn't have anything ridiculous or irritating in terms of gameplay. Not touching the bonus chapter with a 10 foot barge pole though, looks boring (as all bonus chapters in these "Collector's editions" HOGs always are).

100% achievement completion time: 2 hours 30 minutes
