    I'm not much for hidden objects games. This is similar to a lot of the Big Fish games. I bought it hoping there would be some puzzles to work with, but there are very few puzzles, if they can be called that. I finished the first of 5 treasures within an hour, so I imagine the whole game will only take a few hours. Some of the things that make the objects difficult are the scenes/colors of the object and knowing what their definition of the object is. The trailer shows two of the…

    I remember enjoying Escape The Museum, the previous game, where the heroin was stuck in her museum with her daughter after a violent earthquake. Here, Susan is contacted by a mysterious man that will trigger a trip all around the world. Adventure Chronicles is belonging to what I call the early era of hidden objects games, in other words, where you're cleaning scenes by finding items on a list. So don't expect a game where you're roaming around and solving puzzles. However, the game adds some…

    I like hidden object games, but can't recommend this one. I got this one on sale for 49 cents, and I guess it's worth that, but it's not really enjoyable. (I made a new category in Steam called "don't play again".) It's difficult to see many of the items - not because I suck at spotting things, but because the graphics suck. In some cases I end up clicking everywhere on the screen because I just cannot see what I'm supposed to be looking for. (And there are some issues with what they call…

    This is a generally fun adventure game, where you have to find hidden objects in various scenes to progress through the story. It's about a treasure hunt for five different treasures, and each has about 5 or 6 locations you visit. The game doesn't involve much more than finding the hidden objects, but often some objects requiring additional actions to be performed before you can locate them. This can mean brushing away dust, breaking things open, or lighting things on fire to clear them.…

    An old game going back to 2008 and it shows in its graphics and execution. HO scenes are pixel hunting and there is no hint system except an item finder which needs to reload. No hand holding here but the puzzles are fairly easy. HO scenes have a list of things you have to find I find it amusing that as an archaelogist you are happy to smash things with a hammer! A lighter and special brush are your only tools. A very basic story and limited cutscenes and voiceovers. This was probably…

    Keep it buried! Nothing to see. TL;DR: Ancient HOG that aged like milk: pixel soup, crunchy meh-audio, clickfest gameplay, paper-thin story, zero extras. Even at €4.99: skip. Graphics (— —): Pixelation galore; fullscreen = crime scene. Sound (0): Crunchy, kinda fitting, still undercooked. Playability (0): Works, but it’s just a click-orgy. No real puzzles.

    This is one of those games that's good enough to make me wish it was better. I like the overall concept -- an Indiana Jones style trek across the globe in search of historic lost treasures. The music is nice, and the nerdy middle-aged female protaganist is an interesting character. Unfortunately there isn't much to the gameplay besides the hidden object scenes, and they are poorly done. Many of the scenes are low-res, dark, and muddy, and I could not see half of the hidden objects even when the…

    There's several good hidden object games out there, but I wouldn't say this is one of them. pro's: * plenty of objects * scenes sometimes require interaction * geocache (described object not in the list) * has a story (although minor) * possibility to go back to scenes to find additional items and geocaches you missed con's: * the quality of the graphics makes it very hard to spot some of the objects. * the blending of shadows of objects you need to find into backgrounds makes it extremely…

    This is a pretty easy hidden object game with rather basic graphics. For what it is... it's not bad. I bought it for $1.24 when it was 75% off. I wouldn't pay anymore than that to be honest. I do recommend a play if you can get it for cheap and like hidden object games.

    I played for a while. I loved that it was exclusively HO only, no adventuring or other puzzles. However, the images are barely clear enough to make out what you're looking for. I got annoyed rather quickly. Avoid unless at steep discount and only for hardcore HO fans. I will say I got my money's worth as I only paid about $1.

    Hidden object game with some elements that enhance rather than detract What I enjoyed Oldschool, pure HOG play, but with streamlined puzzles integrated in the scenes. (using found objects on the fly in order to unlock access to more objects.) A toolbox with items such as a dust brush and hammer that help you uncover more objects. A nice take on the ubiquitous HOG hint system - a metal detector-like item you move around your scene to scan for objects. The closer you get the faster it beeps.…

    Got for the nostalgia, plus I never got to see the ending as a little kid. Made me happy to complete a little part of my childhood. For anyone who wants to buy this though, I would wait for it to go on sale like I did. If you have the time, the game could take maybe an hour and a half (My gameplay took multiple days because I wanted the experience to last longer)? If you like simple hidden objects games, check this one out on sale, otherwise, it's not worth it. Tldr: Only buy this on sale if…

    HIdden Object Game without any additional adventuring, screens contain some additional object-based puzzles and although game has plot, it is not even that interesting. Greatest grief about this game is that locatable objects are quite often camouflaged in darkness or behind other static object and being quite old game with low resolution graphics doesn't make things any easier.

    I much prefer this type of Hidden Object game to the newer ones, that are more adventure-lite, having a minimum of HO scenes, lots of wandering around and doing mini games. This is the classic Hidden Object Game, where there are no mini games and only HO scenes. Storywise it's on par with all the others in that it's basically a lot of nonsense. The graphics really shows the game's age though, and it will probably keep a lot of people away, as it's really low-res and grainy. Still, that didn't…

    Adventure Chronicles: The Search for Lost Treasure is a hidden object game where you search around the world and solve puzzles for profit and money. The graphics are fixed, low resolution, and display stretched 4:3 in fullscreen, despite the game being released on Steam in 2012. The hidden object part is so/so. There's a hint system but it doesn't always work (if something is hidden inside something else, for example, it won't help you, so you can be stuck without help). The $7.50 price…

    Pretty decent, once you get used to the horrible 800x600 resolution. The hint system is pretty innovative, and there are mini puzzles in each hidden object scene where you use common tools you carry with you to find more items.

I play many games without sound on so I won't disturb my gf working. Art is in places bad making items hard to see but it was not all time and mostly location just looked very nice.

Long version: Adventure Chronicles– the sequel of Escape the Museum– is the type of game that is almost pure atmosphere; the whole thing is pretty much a Saturday morning treasure hunt adventure cartoon in the form of a hidden object game. A pretty mediocre hidden object game. Just like the previous title, it has a really nice…

    Couldn't play this game on my pc, so advise that you check straight away so you can get a refund. It looks like it might be ok, but the windowed mode that I finally got to work is about an eighth of my screen and is too tiny to play. Uninstalling, very disappointing.

    Thumbs down! This game is over ten years old and there are glitches when running it under Windows 10. It didn’t work fullscreen, only in a windowed mode. This is a big drawback for a hidden object game (HOG) since it makes the hidden objects much harder to spot. However, some objects were not hidden fairly and would not be visible even in fullscreen. Another negative is that the game does not have any achievements or trading cards. The store page shows the release date as 2012, but I think…

    This game is your typical HOG (hidden object game) but there is a couple problems when playing and those are that the items your seeking to find are sometimes very very small and hard to locate and often time the back coloring makes those smaller items even all the more difficult, Other then that the game is definetly worth playing as you will get at least 8-10 hours of play time based on how fast you play and if you use the help feature often or use your brain instead, All in all like…

AC: The Search for Lost Treasure is sequel that fixed everything that was wrong with one of the worst HOGs I've ever played (Escape the Museum). The clutter is gone, the HO scenes are 100% graphically improved allowing you to actually recognise the objects you are supposed to find, there isn't as much pixel hunting, and you don't have to revisit the same HO…

    This isn\'t a bad game as long as you realize that it\'s the older style of game. By that, I mean it\'s exclusively hidden object scenes held together by a tenuous plot. If you enjoy HO scenes and aren\'t put off by the lack of flourishes that most modern games of this genre have in plenty, you\'ll probably like this. While I prefer the newer games with more plot, puzzles, achievements, and extras, I did enjoy this. The addition of tools to help find certain items (an archaeology brush, a…

    This game is an absolute headache to play. The HOG pictures are blurry, grainy, or just plain aggravating, and there is no real story line or worthwhile puzzles. I bought it on sale, so I don't feel at all bad about writing it off as a loss. I don't think it's worth finishing.

This is a game where you have to click everything that's not nailed-down, and if it *is* nailed down, you'll find a way to un-nail it. Kleptomania simulator.

    Terrible example of a Hidden Object game. The items are incredibly difficult to find due to muddy graphics and poor coloring. And no matter what I set the sound to, the cutscenes played at full volume. Also, after ending the game, steam would think it was still running so the only way to close steam was to shut down my computer. I wasted 54 cents on this and I still feel ripped off.

    Small hidden objects game with a couple of enigmas and a background story, great to spend an evening while listening to a podcast. You get a journal leading you to 5 different locations in order to discover big historical treasures. Each location is divided in 6 scenes where you need to discover some objects and occasionally resolve a puzzle before being able to move to the next scene.

    It is not the best "hidden treasure" type of game and does not worth the price (although it's quite cheap). The items are sometimes too hard to find. I'm only playing this(or replaying) because I had played this about 10 years ago, so I'm just enjoying the nostalgic feeling. Nevertheless, the story is not too boring but I personally think that this game should be free.

    Reasons I am not recommending this game: 1. Low puzzle variety (only HOGs, nothing else). 2. The poor graphics makes the HOG parts more of a pain than a pleasure. Since this is the entirety of the game, that's a big problem. Other than that, the story and the main character are not bad. Not good enough, however, to make me want to keep playing. I'm glad I bought it on a sale. I can't imagine paying 5 Euro for this, even if it was a HD version that would actually make the game enjoyable.
