The game opens with Dr. Artifact being interrupted by a goonish-looking man in a trench coat and fedora named Simon, who claims to be the Keeper of the British Museum but doesn't exactly come across as the intellectual type. Could he be trouble? I don't want to spoil anything, so let's just say that while Dr. Artifact may be a genius, he's a lousy judge of character. But he's also quick on his feet, allowing him to stay ahead of just about everyone (most of the time) as he searches for random items, geometric shapes or groups of similar items, and solves puzzles that involve matching pairs, completing circuits or assembling jigsaws - quite a lot of that, actually - most of which should be quite familiar to most HOGgers.
Levels are untimed and the game can be played at either normal difficulty or in an "easy" mode, which shortens the hint recharge times and offers a bit more in the way of step-by-step instructions but is otherwise identical.
Production quality is fairly high, with decent visuals and a pleasant soundtrack.
Carefully decipher the artifacts in a special lab and watch as amazing and breathtaking stories unfold in Artifacts of the Past – Ancient Mysteries, a fantastic Hidden Object game.
