What is this game about?

Step into a mesmerizing world of mystery and intrigue with "Dark Strokes 2: The Legend of the Snow Kingdom." This captivating hidden object game plunges you into a realm where detective games meet enchanting landscapes. Unravel the enigmatic storyline as you explore meticulously crafted scenes, searching for cleverly concealed objects. Your sharp observational skills are your greatest asset as you navigate through a chilling narrative, solving puzzles that bridge the gap between reality and fantasy.

The mystery begins with urgency, as you witness a carriage pursued by an ominous knight on horseback wielding icy magic. The chase comes to a halt when the knight stops the carriage, preparing to abduct its passenger. Stepping into the role of a skilled ranger, you join the unfolding mystery just in time. An well-placed arrow sends the mysterious knight disappearing without a trace.

You soon learn the intended target was none other than the kingdom's princess, fleeing her castle overtaken by a dark sorcerer's freezing powers. Offering refuge at your cottage seems the prudent action, but even here danger persists in this ominous mystery. The princess is cunningly tricked into a trapped state, enclosed within an icy globe - the work of the sinister force plaguing the kingdom.

Stealthily navigating the frozen castle grounds, hidden object scenes and logic puzzles await within this free mystery game! Players are drawn deep into this chilling mystery with each new revelation bringing the story closer to its climax. For fans of mystery games this frosty adventure delivers an atmospheric tale and all the investigative gameplay pleasures of the genre.

It is easy to be hooked by the game’s narrative since it is so well presented in more than one aspect. Like most hidden object games, Dark Strokes 2 has some gorgeous backgrounds to look at, which are quite filled with details telling their own story of the world. This is to be expected, since the core gameplay involves looking carefully at the backgrounds for clues and items.

What is less expected is that the game is fully voice acted, making you truly feel and empathize with everyone and their woes. The characters are also animated, even if slightly; it is not truly 3D, but it gets the job done and along with everything else in the visual and audio department, you can’t help but be immersed in what is going on. In addition, there are snippets of actual 3D animation for certain reaction shots. While brief, they add to the drama of the scene and it helps to portray some action heavy moments.

Gameplay wise, this is the classic hidden object formula. You travel to different maps looking for items and solving puzzles in logic games. Most puzzles need to be unlocked with the correct combination of items, and most items are used together to get any number of results. Figuring out what you can pick up and what is just something from the background is the real challenge, but it is lessened thanks to the hint system, which is also intertwined with the game’s story.

At the very beginning of the game when the princess gets trapped in the ice globe, she becomes a feature that whenever you click her, you get a hint as to what to do or what to collect next. You will also get help from a friendly Lynx, who can aid you on many puzzles as a tool itself and you can even name it.

Another tool at your disposal is the journal, incredibly useful for when you stopped playing for a while and you don’t quite remember what you were doing. This journal has the whole story so far, and it is narrated by the ranger himself, and that means more voice acting which truly helps the audience pay attention.

As for the puzzles themselves, they can get quite tricky and not one is like another. If you get particularly stuck in any of them, you can simply press the skip button to move on and get the item you need. While not a particularly engaging feature, it does help for when you just want to push the story forward.

Enjoy the game absolutely free!

Dark Strokes 2: The Legend of the Snow Kingdom is a beautiful and captivating game that will have you rooting for its main duo to make it out it all, and show that true love always triumphs in the end.
