I can’t wait to dive deeper in and find out how the story unfolds. “Just one more quest” was a reoccurring thought in my head before I was forced to put down my iPad by the game’s time-out clock. So far I’ve logged about three hours of game play and it’s turned out to be quite addictive. One lucky commenter will be chosen to win an iPad Mini, but the contest ends April 9, 2014, so don’t miss out! To celebrate the iOS release of the game, Big Fish Games is hosting a very special giveaway on the Midnight Castle Facebook page! Just head to the page and comment “I love Midnight Castle” on the giveaway post to be entered to win. Run out of jewels? You can use real money to purchase more, though be careful as this can quickly become an expensive habit. The downside is that the game will make you wait a few hours before you can resume, or you can spend jewels to immediately unlock it. Racing the clock is important because the faster you find all the items, the more bonus points you’ll earn. You’re given a list of items to find amidst a clutter of objects strewn across the scene. The heart of the game is the hidden object game play. Quests become cross-linked, so in order to progress you need to complete all the parallel tasks handed to you by your would-be allies. As the game progresses, new features unlock and more quests are added for you to monitor and keep track of. Each scene really sets the mood, but the plot can be a little overwhelming too. Visit your own and friends private rooms and tap on the golden chests that appear about 8 times a day for free, you get coin, shards and stamps. Also crafting pet food and other items can get you stamps. The game is beautifully rendered with incredible detail and lush colours. Collect morphing flowers and for every 5 you get coin,stamps or crystals.
Each person sends you on mini quests before they’ll help you on your journey.
Along the way, you meet and interact with a variety of colourful (and some supernatural) characters. Your goal is to enter the castle and solve the mystery behind your uncle’s fate. This hidden object adventure game begins as you find out you’ve just inherited a magnificent estate from your uncle, who met his demise under mysterious circumstances. Midnight Castle by Big Fish Games was released a few months ago as a free game for the PC and it was so popular that the company just today released it for iOS on the iPad as well. Relaxing with a good computer game is one of those things that just instantly distracts and relaxes me, so I always enjoy testing out new games.
