    House of 1,000 Doors: Serpent Flame is the 3rd game in the House of 1 000 Doors serie. Once again you play as Kate. Giant snake are coming up from underground and wreaking havoc across the earth, and you are the only one who can save the day! Your mission is to gather the elements needed to complete the machine that will destroy the ancient snake coming to destroy the world. To do that you will have to travel back in time to four different era. The story is really engrossing and the puzzles are…

    I really like this game. Yes it its the same, yet different from other point click games. I like that there are videos made throughout the game. Which makes for a great storyline! They have "add," items in some scenes which is not common among the point click realm. Like most games like this i get slighlty frustrated lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgmO-gooV0s.

    I really like HOG games and the 1000-doors series. This one somehow falls behind the first two games. I felt that they somehow recycled some scenes from the first two 1000-doors-games. Especially at the beginning of the game in the first world. The mini games are repetitive, mostly moving stuff from one place to another. There is one minigame in the bonus level which got really on my nerves because of the bad hit box. The bonus level has an absurd story, I am not sure if I got it. The term…

    In this video I take a look at House of 1000 Doors: Serpent Flame an epic hidden object adventure game. This title really takes things to the next level, stills are replaced by great cinematics and the adventure starts with the destruction of the world then quickly progresses to time travel through different epochs. It's great! There is no compromise on the HOG either with quality puzzles and mini puzzles in the HOG's. The price is also very low for the quality of the game so if your a casual…

The Developers covered and filled in the plot holes from the previous games! :D I feel they went all out in this one... I mean this is the greatest destruction! There are improvements to the character models... but I am so used to the other ones, that I was a bit spooked at first. Then I told myself: There is havoc happening in the entire…

    A couple of years ago I played House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets (2011) through discord with a couple of friends and LOVED it. Since I just beat a game, I have decided to dive into House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster, and just booting it up has put a smile on my face.

    A pretty cool game even though the voices and the cutscenes are sometimes a bit weird. But The game itself is really good.The puzzles are moderatly easy and HOS are pretty cool. The story is pretty well made, even though i wasnt really a fan of the last chapter with all the spacey theme. All in one another great part of the series. I can highly recommend it

    Top tier on the "Mountain Crime: Requital" scale. As with all the other House of 1,000 Doors games, this was a nice romp through the world and I enjoyed my time with it, even the new "put things back on the screen" mini game. It was nice to see everyone again, and Rafael was pretty cool. There were some frustrating moments, but not enough to detract from the game. I had fun, highly recommend it! :D

    I’d probably go with a mixed review if I could. This game is the third in the series for House of 1000 Doors. It shows some improvements from the first two games. For example, this game has an interesting hidden object variation. In some scenes, you get pictures of objects and you have to place them appropriately instead of just finding them. For example, if you have a key, you could place it in a lock or on a keychain with other keys. This game has some flaws though. Some hitboxes are too…

    This third entry remains in line with the previous games, although I do feel that the puzzles have been made just a bit easier. The story this time around is, in my opinion, especially engaging and I truly enjoyed following the characters that I have come to know. I have nothing particularly negative to say, though some of the hidden object scenes have some items that are hidden in especially dark places, but I suppose this could be fixed via screen brighting.

    Very, very good game for the genre. It follows the usual format. Has a better story than most. Good mini puzzles (nothing super clever - they never are, but they aren't the same ones you see all the time). It has an interactive map. It has "beyond objects". It has a bonus game. One thing about the bonus game is there is a LOT of running back and forth. I don't mind that too much, but some may not like it. But the interactive map makes that easy.

    My first PnC without Achievements and Collections, tho they felt missing from the experience, there were a lot of other qualities to like. If you are an Achievement hunter, this game isnt for you. Maybe its because of the lack, that the game felt longer, it may feel a little empty with no chimes, pop-ups and seeing that badge progress, among our gamer buds. As someone who often forgets where things are, and is constantly going back and forth, I found this format intuitive and had very little…

    As always with these particular 1000 door games, the graphics are stunning, the voice acting is good and the puzzles are fun. This game has a nice bonus end game as well, it is better than the others (my opinion though, yours might easily be different ofcourse). It offers decent playing hours and a fun story!

    I've been a big fan of this game series ever since I was twelve or thirteen. I've basically been replaying the games almost yearly. I love the visuals of the games; the art is extremely detailed, and the puzzles do become a bit more challenging in this instalment. I also like that they introduced a new search mini-game where you have to place objects in the right place instead of searching for them.

    35. House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster Collector's Edition I... have no idea what this game is. Not only is it no longer available on Steam, but it's so unavailable that it doesn't even have a store page any more.

    A much different tone to 'Family Secrets' and 'Palm of Zoroaster', 'Serpent Flame' introduces some proper CGI into the mix that make it seem both a tad tacky, but also a lot more cinematic at the same time. It also has some rather creative lore and mythology and the game play is just as fun, if not more accommodating thanks to the feature that indicates that there's still beyond objects to find

    Don't let the cheesy B movie tagline fool you, this game is impressive. The third in the 1000 Doors series, it is surprisingly original. The style is the same, go through doors, solve puzzles (though the music is more thematic than relaxing this time), but what you'll discover is entirely unexpected. I enjoyed it a lot. ^-^

    This is a nice game. I played the family secrets one first, and by comparison this one (serpent flame) is much more fleshed out and bigger. I'm on the bonus chapter now and this extra content is big unto itself. The story is good and the games are varied, would recommend.

    Sort of a downgrade from the previous games. There were some major changes in character designs that are kinda undesired. The game still plays well and is enjoyable. The cut scenes are very dated lol. This is a game I'd love to see remade and modernized.

    This is the best one in the series. The graphics are finally FHD wide screen. The atmosphere is amazing, reminiscent of the original Blade Runner (referring to the sound track). The video cut scenes are also among the best I've seen, even when compared to the more recent Five-BN games. In summary, this game is very well made and encompasses the player with rich visuals, music and sounds. Highly recommended!

    *contains spoilers* While this game definitely had some pros (graphics clarity, plot line, logical game progression and speed, etc.), there were a few things that I very much did not like, the main one being the premise; Flaming snakes. Flaming. Snakes. Taking over the world. I very much realize this is a fantasy game and requires a decent suspension of logic. What house would ever have 1,000 doors, right? But flaming snakes bursting out of the ground and destroying the world is so far flung…

    It's alright. It's funny. The Artifex Mundi games I thumbs up because they're their better games, because with how they re-use puzzles, if you've played one, you've played them all, so you may as well just play the better ones. This game is maybe not as good as the other House of 1000 Doors games. It does re-use puzzles from previous games. It's nowhere near as bad as AM games in that regard. And, I've seen complaints from others on here of game breaking crashes, and corrupted save files.…

    Serpent Flame is the third game in the Ho1KD series. It takes Kate out of her fancy blue dinner dress she wore for the first two games (I cracked up imagining her using an axe to fell a tree in "The Palm of Zoroaster"), and puts her in jeans and a jacket. No mention is made of her novelist career or her Grandmother. Instead of that mundane stuff, she's a very, very special woman! The game expands the lore of the Ho1KD universe even further, introducing some sci-fi themes that I welcomed.…

Variety of mini-games that vary in difficulty. This game also has the strategy guide built in (if needed) and the hint button (also if needed, and I had to on more than one occasion.) I am looking forward to playing the other games in this series. Thank you once again to all the devs that put this lovely game together. Thanx

The graphics and sounds are well done and the animations, although a bit aged, are also done well enough to keep you moving along. The hidden object scenes are good and the puzzles are not overly difficult, but still a bit challenging at times. All in all, this is a great series, looking forward to the part 4…

    House of 1000 Doors just keeps getting better! This third entry in the series features excellent pacing and design and the delightful diversity of environments that we have come to expect. There are many fun puzzle mini-games and quite a few hidden-object scenes. Also, we will discover some deeper secrets about how the House of 1000 Doors came to be... Unfortunately, as usual with this series the voice acting is still very, very bad. Luckily there's not too much of it.
