Glad I Didn't Listen to the Reviews
Yes, it is a strictly hidden object game and, therefore, objects are hidden. In fact, some are hidden in plain sight. A few are small, like the bullet casings, but they were out in the open.
The hint button is slower to recharge than other hidden object games, but I used it only once or twice per scene, so it wasn't an issue for me.
There is no penalty for mis-clicks, so if you think you see something click on it. No harm, no foul.
The graphics are bright and clear, except if it is a night scene where the graphics are a little darker to, you know, simulate night.
Some of the puzzles are challenging, but they can be skipped immediately without waiting for a skip button to fill.
If you like a strictly hidden object game without bouncing around and having to consult a walkthrough, at least give this one a try. I have not finished it yet, so I don't know how long it is. But I wanted to counteract the poor reviews this game has been given.

TOO SMALL
This game is purely HOS and puzzles. Puzzles were good but I did not have the patience because the HOS scenes were so difficult, I just skipped the puzzles to get through the game. The hint charger was very slow and the objects were miniscule. I had to get my magnifier to help me to see objects. Not enjoyable.

More Irritating than Fun
I'm with most of the other reviewers here: This game is nothing but an endless series of HOS and puzzles that are often more frustrating / annoying than fun.
The plot -- such as it is -- is idiotic and has next to no relation to any of the puzzles, etc. The cut scenes are static and pretty abysmal. Very few of the "clues" or other items help you actually solve any of the puzzles, so it all begins to seem just like a parade of puzzles married to nothing.
To be fair, the actual puzzle play can be fun and often quite challenging. But even here, the HOS scenes are unusually difficult -- items are super hard to find and the hint function is terribly slow. I found myself skipping puzzles just because I was so annoyed with their obtuseness. BTW, there is no BigFish walkthrough, either -- you have to rely on an old forum for text clues.
Bottom line: Put your hard-earned $$ somewhere else!

good for me!
I played this one when it first out and I never leave a review before. For this I give 5 stars because I have fun 'til the end and good storyline. There's a lot HO so if you are like this kind genre or if you looking a game for spending your lazy time then try this one.
Thanks dev!

Not happy with game
The graphics are dark, not clear as well as not well drawn. I had my screen on the brightest possible setting and many scenes were still very dark and difficult to see. I would not recommend this game.

A challenge but not that fun!
The hidden objects are quite difficult to find and the hint button recharges slowly. The puzzles are difficult but I enjoy them like that.

A Little Too Easy
The game was okay. The graphics were a little dark and the story was a little weak. It was the deal of the day, I'd happily say, I got what I paid for..... =^..^=

Game was just OK among friends
This HOG was just OK. HO were dark and sometimes very hard to find. Hints recharged fast so that was good. This game is good as a Daily Deal.
