Short version: 37% Showing Tonight is a hidden object game without hidden object scenes and an adventure game without a coherent plot. At least it has some really nice puzzles. Long version: Showing Tonight: Mindhunters Incident is the first attempt of a small Serbian group called Phime to broaden their portfolio beyond simplistic children’s puzzle games made for smartphones. Although advertised as a hidden...

NB: I rarely write reviews under frustration. I'm often indulgent. Here, the frustration took over. I yelled at my computer each time the Do you want to skip message appeared after a few seconds in the puzzle. I was kinda distraught at the though that I couldn't find the right perspective. I was so close sometimes, but the fact that I have a little problem with spatial stuff was making stuff harder. So, yeah, you can...

Showing Tonight: Mindhunter’s Incident, developed by Phime Studio, is a point-and-click, adventure puzzle game with a hint of Hidden Object scenarios. After first viewing the trailer, screen shots and the store page summary, I came in with some high expectations. I was hoping for a fun, creepy adventure in my very own B-Horror film. Instead, what I got was a gimmicky puzzle system, horribly rendered cut scenes, an...

This game should come with a medical warning. It's a 99 cent acid trip with a significant chance of a brain damaging freak out. It was so nonsensical, my jaw dropped several times when I finally figured out the next random sequence of object interactions that drove the "plot" forward. At first, this was frustrating, but then it got funny - really funny - laugh out loud funny as the game moved on (the use for the...

The game is decent with shortfalls but doesn't deserve an overall negative review. The goth girlfriend is a big draw in but you barely get to see her through the game which was a bit disappointing along with the monsters that you only see for a few seconds each. Puzzles were sometimes confusing or had some weird logic. The silhouette mini games were actually kinda cool/different and the chapters all had a different...
