What players say

Players find this hidden object game relaxing and addictive, praising how items are genuinely hidden within beautiful Chinese paintings. The price of €2 feels like a steal given the length, which is longer than expected. Some players find the DLC too punishing with extremely tiny items, but most are happy to lose themselves in the scenery.
