Film Fatale: Lights, Camera, Madness is the perfect example of a hidden object game that does not focus on overly artistic graphics and visualizations but on the other hand, delivers a magnificent storyline coupled with one of the best game play presentations I had this month. With that said, some people are easily turned off during the first few minutes of playing, but in my opinion it is worth it for us to take a peek further down this game's rabbit hole.
The game's storyline takes you back in the bustling years of the 1940's wherein a man named M. W. Vernon is at the forefront of that time's movie and film industry. Being a man of great vision and innovation, he built a movie studio on his own private island to begin making his best movie yet. However, this project was unable to continue due to several mishaps and troubles that fell into his work. On another time, your mother and retired movie star Rita Rey has been kidnapped. And now, it is up to you to save her in Vernon's island while trying to contend with the madness of the once great director.
As I had said on the first paragraph, Film Fatale: Lights, Camera, Madness is all about presentation. Even with the unimpressive graphics, the developers made sure that you are always gripped tight by the story from beginning until end. The voice overs are fantastic and the background music fits the game very well. All in all, it is a very fun game, and that is the most simple but straightforward adjective I can think of to describe it - fun. Something sometimes lost in technicalities of reviews such as this one that oftentimes I am lost for words on how to describe the experience brought forth by games like these.
The game is hidden object, but most of the scenes are less cluttered with stuff. Puzzles are also unique and well thought of, but ranges only from easy to moderately challenging at best. It really felt like you are just breezing through the game eager to know on what happens next to the story. I guess that is the only flaw of Film Fatale: Lights, Camera, Madness. It felt short, but that may only be me.
I highly recommend everyone to give this game a try and see for themselves on how brilliant this game is. Film Fatale: Lights, Camera, Madness is a highly fun and addictive game, and I am looking forward for more from this game's developers.
