A Plot Story

Ok, if this was the first game of a studio of a few people, I would get it. But how the f**ck there are so many people in credits and you release a game this half-assed? It's as if nobody beta-tested it. You have that many people on your team and none can: - beta-test it - properly mask objects - make a proper UI that is not just numbers - narrate the lines - make a larger variety of different objects instead of 4 versions of the same thing There's so much that could be improved. But I guess you don't care when it was released in 2017. There's no point in playing this. I don't even know what the "story" is about because of the way this game is put together.

A Plot Story is a Hidden Object Game (HOG) about a woman named Sarah that becomes a thief to aid a stranger named Peter. A Plot Story: what an unoriginal name. This title sets up almost no meaning for people that don't know what the game's about. I mean, sure, they plot, but I guess that's it to the name. Sarah is approached by a stranger named Peter and you do some thieving for him in the Willer estate[spoiler], but he's secretly one of the King's Royal Guards and is trying to help the king find his missing son who many thought was long gone[/spoiler]. The game gives the plot of the story (I had to) between finishing HOG levels, jigsaw puzzles, slider puzzles, and memory tile games, but mainly HOG levels. There are a total of 91 levels and between each one there is a small blurb with images showing the story unfolding. By the time I finish the level, I don't remember what the last bit of the story said because the HOG levels and memory tile games have nothing to do with the story. The only things you do in the game that have to do with the story are the jigsaw puzzles and the slider puzzles because they create the picture of the next piece of the story to be told. The characters look like any other Shaman Games characters; pretty ugly and generic. The music and sounds are all basically the same throughout the game. The biggest issue with this game is that sometimes it glitches out when you try to play too fast. When you click on the objects that match, they come together in the middle of the screen and then fly off the top of the screen. When you match a second pair of objects together while the first found pair is still in its animation, the first pair of objects can be stuck in the middle of the screen where you cannot see under them nor interact with them or anything underneath them, thus leaving a dead zone smack dab in the middle of the screen. It can kill the whole progress of your level because it can now be permanently blocking objects you need to click on to match to progress. It's very frustrating when it happens because especially towards the second half of the game, you need to match 30+ objects, so having that right towards the end could potentially mean wasted time. What can I say other than this is another below average game published by Shaman Games. I do not recommend this title.
