In regards to the story, the games can be played independently of each other, although there are two recurring characters from Faircroft Antiques: Treasures of Treffenburg together with some references to their backgrounds. The exchanges between Mia and Maria are exceptionally entertaining because of Maria’s witty personality that doesn’t shy away from always making bold remarks about every situation, while also keeping the joking tone at a warm banter level perfectly fit to showcase the closeness and affection between the two friends. The ample dialogues between the main characters, which are presented before and after every scene, unravel the main plot bit by bit, but also deepen it by adding new storylines or twists. The game has 20 chapters in total, each of them inviting the player to solve around four different hidden object scenes and a couple of minigames. There is a good variety of hidden object scenes, consisting of identifying objects based on a list of items, their image, on their silhouette or simply by solving a mini-riddle. Instead, the sheer amount of conversations between the characters and their identity development could indeed place the Faircroft games at the border between a HOG and a visual novel. In Faircroft’s Antiques: The Forbidden Crypt she is summoned together with her best friend Maria to restore the cathedral of the quaint Italian town of Porto Nacosti, but soon enough she gets trapped in the dark secrets of the town’s most influential family who also happens to own the crypt and all the mysteries buried inside.įaircroft’s Antiques: The Forbidden Crypt is an old-style HOG that focuses more on hidden object scenes and minigames and less on the adventure aspect, which is basically almost non-existent here. The games follow the adventures of Mia Faircroft – a young art restorer who travels all around the world and helps people refurbish their antiques, but also mends their hearts with her positive and kind personality. MaFaircroft’s Antiques: The Forbidden Cryptįaircroft Antiques is in my opinion one of the best hidden object series on Steam (and outside Steam as well), with its games having substantially good writing and an entertaining storyline, plus they are among the longest HOGs out there, each offering around 10h of pure fun.
