The Book of Desires

It was a lovely looking fairly short and simple HOG but the problem was that I also experienced a lot of bugs and lags. They didn't really bother me all that much but I know that paying for a broken game is not fun at all, so I don't really recommend this one. Plus it's way too short for the price it's asking. It's about an hour or two of gameplay. There were some really nice puzzles and the HO scenes stood out more...

Two puzzles bugged out on me (the flower clocks and the stone pillars). It's still possible to finish the game, since you can get past the puzzles using the skip button, but the fact that multiple reviewers mentioned this problem and it still hasn't been fixed a year after the game's release on Steam gets this an automatic thumbs down. Unfortunately the rest of this game wasn't even bad in a bizarre and entertaining...

A sub-par HOG that sort of feels like it was cobbled together from a bunch of unrelated scenes left over from other projects. Overall quality is very inconsistent. The story is vague, barely present, and impossible to care about. Puzzle design seems rather lazy and some puzzles are basically repeated. Minigames are poorly explained. Glitches and graphical mishaps are common. Ends with a lame hook for a sequel that I...

The Book of Desires, developed by Meridian’93 and published by Fulqrum Publishing, is a hidden-object puzzle adventure that embraces the traditions of classic casual mystery games while attempting to tell a darker, more surreal story.

This is a pretty cool hidden object game with additional puzzles. The story is interesting, the gameplay varied and fun, you can skip puzzles if they are too hard or you are stuck. I completed the game in little less than 2 hours

Played this years ago and was going through my owned games and decided to replay it. Plot summary (like it matters) - child given an opportunity making a wish, makes a nice one, and ends up in an adventure. Might have had one bug with stones disappearing in a mini-game and not being able to complete it and ended up skipping it. Some of the hidden object parts were actually rather clever - but there were occasional...

It is extremely short, has many bugs and the story is boring.
