Tap on almost anything in this stellar hidden object game and you might giggle when you realize voice actors supplied almost all the sound effects. Because the game has no time limit, you’re free to relax and fully explore every homespun level and discover all the strange and endearing secrets, like tapping on a snake to pop a chicken out of its mouth.
MASTERPIECE!

The things that make this game special are the crisp black and white inkpen illustrations that stave off eye fatigue while endlessly searching through the details, the clever little riddles that accompany the key and serve as helpful hints to finding the objects, the charming lo-fi sounds programmed to respond to the touch of every detail of the illustration (I love the stupid “beep” of car horns or the silly “help” of the shipwrecked), the inventive little mechanisms that evolve with each new level to make the scenes interactive and slightly more challenging, and the overall humorous tone of this world of village idiots. I love that little jokes like the mushroom and the blueberry carry over multiple levels and that one factory employee requires hanging out by a tire fire to get her nicotine fix. I finished the game over a boring three day weekend and now I am in mourning because I know it’s over and they aren’t making more levels. Perhaps this world doesn’t deserve more levels of this incredible game!

It may very well be the perfect game!The genius and straight-up craftsmanship in the detail and originality of the art, the wonderfully wandering exploration of every odd yet familiar landscape and each one cleverly layered with quirk and humor, meeting all of the equally strange and lovable creatures that inhabit these worlds, the simple secreted treats and overall wabi sabi that make it brilliantly engaging and enjoyable for those of us who relish such things... which I absolutely do. Above all, it’s undeniably one-of-a-kind and that is increasingly rare in these crazy (yet somehow still dull) days... I can only imagine the volume of blood, sweat and tears that went into the entire Hidden Folks process... I’m sure it was a profound labor of love for everyone involved, as well as an exercise in sheer force of will, but I am personally SO grateful to the creators for blessing us with this gem of a game. Thank you all!I look forward to seeing what other weirdness you folks get into...xox

Many objects are hidden entirely out of view.

I’m disappointed that many of the hidden objects/people are hidden out of view until its location is interacted with by touching the screen. For example, a hidden person or object is often completely obscured behind a door, bush, rock, plant or one of many other possible objects that require you to touch in order to “move it out of the way” in order to find the hidden object behind it. I want to be able to find the hidden objects by closely looking around the image, not by randomly touching dozens and dozens of moveable objects in the hopes that a hidden object is behind one of them or by needing to constantly rely on hints. It’s not a fun challenge; it’s just tedious and boring. I generally like the art style and I feel that it has good potential for being a game about finding hidden objects. Unfortunately, I primarily played with the audio muted because the amateurish style was annoying to listen to after a few minutes. Overall, I’m just disappointed that so many of the hidden objects cannot be found by simply looking at the image. For this reason, I do not recommend this game.

Hey – game designer Adriaan here! This minor update is only a compatibility update. Did you know I occasionally send out a newsletter to Hidden Folks fans? I recently made an announcement there! Something about a sequel to Hidden Folks maybe?! Sign up at: https://hiddenfolks.com/subscribe
