The Big Secret Of A Small Town - Tumblr Posts
So it's not *technically* a Hidden Object game, but I finished The Big Secret of a Small Town awhile ago. In short, I liked it! But I can see why it has mixed reviews...

I have such beef with "Hint" buttons that only tell you vague ideas on what to do and where to go. None of the cutscenes had subtitles despite being low-volume. (The voice acting was still very good!) The story wasn't anything super intriguing, it uses a type of unreliable narrator, but the game had cool aesthetics + art that I liked. It also had more puzzles than I was expecting, some real challenging, so that's a bit of a turn-off for me.
Honestly, I love point-and-click games a lot! Hidden Object are my favorite, and I don't know why games like this show up in the HOPA Steam tags. This is probably a category I don't mind getting mistagged, as there are more non-relevant/worse games clogging up the Hidden Object tag on Steam... :/
