    This is charming and silly and gentle and fun, ridiculously intricate and lovingly crafted. It’s not hardcore, it’s not going to outfox you, but it doesn’t want to be doing that. This is one of those instances where you wish “casual” hadn’t become a meaningless nonsense term in gaming, because it would nicely capture the feeling of a puzzle book that’s magically come alive, a Where’s Wally where you get to poke and prod the characters. It’s a calm, calming and pleasingly silly game.

    Instead, Hidden Folks is laid back and serene, while still challenging enough to make actually finding things feel satisfying. It’s a game you can play for a few minutes or an hour and still feel a sense of gratification. And it’s the perfect companion for that Sunday morning coffee.

Interesting soundtrack and overall production (special thanks to the both funny and disturbing mouth sounds). Many amusing details, easter eggs, jokes, clues and interactions. Great to play with children. Levels are as varied (special congratulations for the 'factory' levels) as the size of maps even if some of them are just way too huge to play it with comfort. It can quickly become frustrating not to find the objects, animals or people you are looking for, especially if you're a Steam achievement hunter (as I define myself). Also playing it for more than 45 minutes in a row made my eyes hurt because of the constant black & white environment is quite aggressive to permanently look at.… Full Review »
