Hidden World

I love the family friendly nature of Fire Maple Games. They aren't dark or creepy and are so well designed. The puzzles, clues, and storyline are all intriguing. I have so enjoyed every one of their games.

This game has the best of adventure game features. Great graphics, a wide variety of puzzles, interesting story, well designed screens, and easy game play. The game interface is one of the best. I enjoyed playing this game immensely. My thanks to the Fire Maple team for such a good game.

I don’t often write reviews but this game was magnificent. Not too easy and not too hard. I loved it and you should buy it for that price it was worth it!!

I am a fan of the Fire Maple games. Hidden World benefits from the forethought that went into making the puzzles fit in with the story, which the developers seem to get better at with each release. The puzzles themselves are at a medium level of difficulty; just hard enough to make you think, but far from exasperating. I also appreciate how the developers spent time creating clever, organic puzzles that avoid employing the lazy tropes (slider puzzles, combination lock puzzles, tiny hidden objects, finding/using items that make no sense in the story/environment) that many of the games in the genre fall back on.<br/><br/>This game, like all of Fire Maple’s games, is a welcome relief from the gloomy, creepy settings and atmosphere in most of the games in this genre. The music is pleasant and the visuals are colorful, which makes for a stress-free, family-friendly, puzzle-solving experience. The journal and the map are useful features, as well.<br/><br/>Overall, this is a nice, calm way to spend a few hours, and scratch that puzzling itch. It doesn’t quite measure up to the Room and House of DaVinci games, but it’s a decent approximation.

But too short! I wish you had more…

Yet another success from Fire Maple Games! The graphics are simply beautiful, and the game play is fun—just challenging enough to keep you exploring, but always perfectly intuitive. Please purchase and play all these games! (Only reason I didn’t vote five stars is because I save those for The Room series!)

I love this game series and played through the original Grisley Manor and lost city but there is a bug with the piano puzzle in this game. When you go to enter the third puzzle combination on the piano the game will freeze and you are unable to play any further. Upon restarting the game the puzzle shows I’ve completed two piano combinations but will not show the third combination anymore. When I try to enter the third combination again (I memorized the sequence) it will not let me complete it! I hope it gets fixed soon I love these games and hope to buy the rest of the series but will not until this game gets fixed

As with other games from this developer, this game is well designed and executed. The art and music are beautiful, and the puzzles are fun. Overall the game isn’t as challenging as it could be and I was able to breeze through it in an hour or so, but it was still enjoyable.
