What can we expect when we see a splash screen of MumboJumbo at the beginning, loads of collectibles? Creative gameplay? Great graphics? Well, all those factors can be found in their brand-new amazing Hidden Object Adventure game (or series?) Angelica Weaver. The game starts off with an extremely long cut scene, we found it a very great introduction to the game. The graphics and the cut scenes are incredibly sharp which is a plus, also, all animations are smooth not jerky. The story is about detective and crime investigation but also mixed with some supernatural time-travelling. The game would take you to different places all around the world where the murder occur, you would be spending time in a set of locations for a while, then move on to another city. Angelica Weaver is not like any of the game you've played, the feelings are different. It's a highly interactive game where you're drawn into its decent story and feel like you're really a part of that story. The Angelica figure which stands at the bottom right of your screen also did a great job to make some comments and make the game much more interesting. This can also be a drawback since the constant nodding and moving of her is hard to ignore and some might found this very irritating! The music and sound effects suit the game perfectly and the voice overs are very well done. Hidden Object scenes are fun to play  and the puzzles are interesting and entertaining to solve just that the skip button took a very long time to fill. Along the way, you will be collecting over 70 police badges which hidden in every places you could imagine. You can also collect dreamcatchers which act as your hint. The hint is also very clear and useful. Angelica Weaver is surely an addicting game, that you want to play it from the start to the end in single play, this makes the long 4-5 hours of gameplay pass by very quickly. The Extra contents is also enough to make it worth the price. To round up, Angelica Weaver is a very exciting, interesting and absolutely stunning game to spend your time with, we hope to see more games like this from MumboJumbo in the near future!
