Beyond the Invisible: Evening

The issues I have with this game: - Too many of the puzzles are solved with finding a symbol which unlocks a chest where your desired item is. - It can be overly difficult to find some objects in the Finding Items-scenes because they blend into the background too easily or the scene is just too dark (even early in the game). In better hidden object games the developers have strived to reduce the risk of finding multiple items of the same sort, but in this game you can have several books (for example) in the same scene where it asks you to find a book ..but only the correct book. - The scenery looks good (not great), but the animations are as simple as can be. - Many of the puzzles can be solved by finding items in the same scene. In better hidden object games the solution to finding the right object is slightly more complex than that. - The story (so far I've got) is generic and the characters aren't believable. I can't recommend it for the asking price, but if you can get it for at least 80% off and, for some reason, are looking for a hidden object game you haven't played yet: go for it!

Earlier today, I played Black Swan, another hidden object game (HOG), and the darn thing had terrible "hit detection" on my clicks, it crashed, and when loading the game again, it would never show my inventory again, effectively making it impossible to finish the game despite being in the final leg of the tale. Beyond the Invisible: Evening wasn't especially amazing as far as HOGs go, but I feel favorably toward it if only because it registers clicks really well, it never crashed, and I never game across any game-ending bugs. So in other words, it worked. That shouldn't be praise-worthy, but after my experience with the other game today, it was a delight to play a product that functioned. Now that aside, Beyond the Invisible: Evening has a very straight-forward and - in my opinion - not all that interesting storyline, as is generally the case with HOGs. However, I had a pleasant time with it, the items you use on different objects almost always made sense, the character doesn't "throw away" incredibly useful items most of the time. This game gets the job done, and it's short enough that there wasn't a big enough time investment for me to decry it. It's not great, but it's a decent HOG and doesn't stand out in a bad way from the rest of its brethren.

A nice hidden object/adventure game. Liked the rather unique artwork and the story (if predictable), which kept me interested. Finally, there was an abundance of quality problem solving, both as minigames and getting around problems. Minor complaints: the key minigame was absolutely ridiculous - because it was impossible to identify most of the illustrations, achievements would me nice, and the "sidekick" felt rather tacked on. Just a quick note: I played it on one of the easier modes, where the map indicates where there was something to do. I suspect if I had not done that I might have become frustrated with trying to find the next HO part that I needed to go to.

2 hrs in game and the hint button got stuck. Reinstall didn't help... and in the forum were several other problems discussed too. So I'm not going to try to fix it anymore and leave it at that. Can not recommend it for this reason.

Beyond The Invisible: Evening is a routine hidden object casual puzzle/adventure game with a historical/fantasy/mystery theme. Solving various puzzles and hidden object minigames reveals the plot and uncovers the mystery. There's nothing wrong the the concept here but the implementation is terrible. 4:3 stretched aspect ratio, fixed resolution all make this far beneath minimum standard for a 2017 game, let alone today. Also, if you alt+tab, the game crashes. Charging $10 USD for a game this badly implemented is just unacceptable.

Love the storybook animation, good puzzles and creepy vibes.
