Echoes of the Past: The Castle of Shadows



The game begins with the player once again being summoned to a modern day museum with mysterious works of art and once again being magically transported into history. This time, though, we’re whisked to a much nearer when—around 100 years ago rather than several centuries in the past. A princess tells us that a witch has wreaked havoc in her realm. All of her subjects have been turned to shadow. It’s up to us to restore the silhouetted citizens to life—typically by providing them with an object they cherish—and banish the sorceress.




Our goal is to find key inventory objects and use them to initiate dozens of contextual puzzles, such as sorting through keys to unlock a door, reassembling the shards of a pane of shattered stained glass, or arranging planks on a raft to make the holes in the wood match up with nails.The other half of the game is composed of hidden object scenes.The HO scenes were just difficult enough to be interesting.The Bonus Adventure is lengthy with new locations, and yet cleverly connected to old locations for HOG hunts.
This game is more than just a HOG. It's an adventure and a great story.
