Hidden Folks

Hidden Folks

If you enjoyed searching for Waldo, you’re going to enjoy this game. However, there is no easily identifiable character like Waldo; instead, each area has a list of people or things to find. At first some are daunting, both due to the size of the areas and due to the size of the items (golf ball, for example). However, each item to find comes with a clue and the clue points to a bigger thing to search for. For example, one item to find is a mushroom and the clue is that a pig is about to sniff it out. So instead of looking for a little mushroom, you can look for a much bigger hog. In fact, I was never stuck on an area due to the smallest items, and the couple times I did get stuck a little, I just wasn’t seeing what was right in front of me. In fact, in addition to the verbal clues, there are auditory clues. I didn’t discover this until the last few areas when I heard someone crying out in distress and looked for the source of the sound, but it’s a nice feature.

Remember that kid from school who’d draw in his notebook, filling entire pages with massive amounts of tiny squiggles? Enter Hidden Folks, a HOG that captures that precise feeling and manages to distinguish itself through a combination of silly writing, small mouth sounds, and crowded, fully animated landscapes. Best of all, previous DLC-only content has been merged into one, so provided you don’t look up solutions, provides amazing gameplay value for every single age–especially small children.
