As someone who owns Hidden Through Time and Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic, I was really excited to play this one! I loved the previous versions a lot, but this one felt rushed and sloppy by comparison. Object placements: Sloppy. Too many items are placed carelessly, with objects just floating mid-air when they're supposed to be "held" in a character's hand. The graphics glitch so much that it's actually …

A relaxing "Where is Waldo?" type of puzzle game with the unique mechanic that you can open up buildings to look inside, as well as having the option to change the time of day in later levels. It has no missable achievements and takes around 4h to unlock all them all.

"Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery" is easily one of the best hidden object games I’ve played. The hand-drawn visuals and charming animations make it such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The new interactive features and larger maps take the exploration to another level, making every discovery feel super rewarding. The map editor is a game-changer—there’s so much replayability, and it’s awesome to see what the …

Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is a very good hidden game where you have to find objects, peoples, etc... It's really funny because you can interact with everything and they do funny sounds, there's a lots of levels from differents times, landscapes and space. I highly recommend it!!! 💗💗💗

HTT2: Discovery was enjoyable but felt significantly shorter than HTT2: Myths & Magic. HTT2: Discovery features three eras with an average of 115 hidden objects to find while Myth & Magic features four eras averaging 85 hidden objects to find. Please note that "eras" are collections of levels and not just one level. Like its predecessor Discovery also features a in-game level creator and downloader where you can …

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy Myths and Magic Instead. Honestly, I'm not sure why Hidden Through Time 2 is not one game with DLC. They released the two as separate games which prevents you from combining assets when building your own levels. This one felt much more rushed and has less play time than Myths and Magic. I really suspect this was rushed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A complete downgrade from the original Hidden Through Time in every single way. I very much wanted to like this game and although I did not enjoy the sequel, I wanted to give this... DLC that's not a DLC...? A chance. After completing 4 or 5 maps in less than 20 minutes, AND experiencing annoying visual bugs, I have to say I cannot recommend this to anyone. The difficulty of the developer made maps is absurdly easy. Something that wasn't true for the original game. Unless you are a literal…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I own and have played the two previous Hidden Through Time games and loved them, the first one I feel being the best. This one felt underwhelming, lacking content, and there are lots of issues with play in the game that do not appear to have been resolved. Like some others have said in reviews, feels more like a DLC for HTT2, I can only guess that it is because there is a slightly different mechanism to it, like items removed from list when found, so it was a completely new game but not HTT3…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More of the same hidden object goodness with clear themes taking us to Victorian England, into the future, and using our skills as a detective. If you've played any of the other games in the series, then nothing much has changed game play wise, apart from the themes, which takes us to different places with different characters and sets. The different themes and areas to visit are what makes each installment stand out from each other, providing lots of entertainment and humour behind those…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the game series before I didn't. Incredible CPU hog. Be mindful of data sharing/privacy when playing the game. Read those pesky EULAs and related agreements... This make me wonder if this data harvesting is what causes the CPU spike while in-game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great hidden objects gm. Better than Time 2: Myths & Magic. Better optimized than the previous gm. A little on the easy side would be the only small negative for me. Runs perfect on the steam deck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved the first game, so I was excited for the second. But the experience I have had is that it is a buggy mess. It constantly desynchs from where your mouse is clicking. With the different weather/ time of day additions if you swap the weather you have to go through and undo building or open items you've searched through, or it won't always show you the new objects. I honestly want to love the game but it is incredibly frustrating for me to play.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasted potential. Some levels are just stupid sparse. They are waiting for the "community" to fill in the holes with levels. I say, you failed. Same engine, sloppy levels with very little to find, and the demand for modders to fill in the hole. I will not be buying any more of your games. This should have been DLC.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed playing it a lot! Also love the architect part. Lost track of time while playing it. But it has a few bugs unfortunately. For example, if you change the weather during the building of your own map, all of the parts suddenly change position. And when I was ready to upload my map, the game got stuck on loading a few times. Also: i would love to know how to delete an item if you use a xbox controller, because it says i have to use the + button (switch button?) but i don't have that one.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little DLC for the second Hidden Through Time game. If you enjoyed things like iSpy books or Spooky Mansion, this may be for you! I have played a lot of games where you need to spot the hidden objects and this is the only series that has ever successfully pulled it off. This may have been a pretty short DLC, but I enjoyed every second of it. Sometimes it took me an embarrassing amount of time to find some objects. However, the chill atmosphere and story made even that enjoyable. They have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →These games just scratch a very specific itch in my brain. Cute animation, just something nice to chill out and do that doesn't take a lot of brain power.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is fun, like the others. I don't even miss that there's no hint button for that aggravating time you can't find anything. BUT I do not like that in this Hidden Through.... game, unlike the ones before it, when you find something, the picture below disappears - along with the clue - sometimes after finding something, I like to then see the clue. But I can't do that now, since the inventory items disappears upon finding. Some folks may like this feature - could keeping the inventory…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My daughters absolutely loooove these kind of games. Over 200h on Hidden through time 1 and we hope that the second Game is as good as the first. Some minor bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking. Keep up the good work!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many objects to find - all achievements unlocked properly. Good HOG.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hidden Through Time 2: Discovery is the latest game from Rogueside and a sequel to both Hidden Through Time and Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic. It is a delightful, hand-drawn hidden object game with levels set across three different eras. Players will search, decipher clues, and uncover hidden objects, but also create and share their own worlds! Just like its predecessors, this Hidden Through Time instalment is a wonderful example of a hidden object game, featuring a variety of hidden…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely love these games! Such a chill and cozy game and the addition of different weather modes feels really really nice! (And I'm glad you get a hint on the right mode for each object/person haha). The little narration is cute aswell but most importantly: The. Art. Is. Amazing! The characters, animals and objects are all so cute!!! The racoon waving at me is my favorite. :)

positive · AI labelView post →I gave Hidden Through Time 2: Myths and Magic a thumbs down because I felt it added nothing meaningful to the original Hidden Through Time, which already had online user-created content. Myths and Magic also had wide fluctuations in puzzle quality, leading to an unsatisfactory experience as a whole. I'm happy to say that Discovery is a more consistent and straightforward entry in the series. It's also easier and shorter: I completed it in half the time as Myths and Magic. But that's actually a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took me three hours to play through the campaign levels, get it on sale.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I could I'd give this game a "mixed", to me the music and the voice over is pretty annoying, building open-close mechanism is frustrating (especially when rooms overlap), lots of reused assets from previous version. Not my cup of tee. Also not sure what takes 5 seconds to load the main menu / map 😂
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Hidden Object Devs Out Dere!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is to easy(maybe because the 1st was the first in genre and need time to understand it) and dont come with nothing new from the 1st one(just new stories). Also I think that some persons that create maps(like the ones we need to take 2-3 achivement by playing them) do a great job, some maps are harder than game itself... Around 2 hours max(have +4 because I play other game in same time and swich from that to this one) to finish it for 10$ is to much in my opinion. You can buy it on a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being the latest entry in the series, this one was actually a disapointment. The campaign wasn't as well put together in terms of story, and a lot of the scenes were put together a little lazily, with plenty of spaces obscured by assets that should have been hidden when viewing interiors. The use of features developed in earlier entries in the series was poorly done, with things like the weather/time of day changes only being used on a handful of maps, and without an easy way to see…

I've had multiple issues where objects don't show up as set as objectives when you test play the situation you've created, so you have to go back in and re-select them all over again. My creations won't upload at all, it says "loading" and never uploads. The only way I have been successful to get them to upload is to copy and paste the entire scene into a blank canvas and…

Find various objects in three different settings (Noir, Victorian (with undead) and Sci-fi) on a more or less cluttered map, The clues for each object are pretty good for the most part and gives you a good idea, where to look. Casual, but enjoyable for a couple of hours. The one major gripe I have is with the achievements for the user made maps. A couple of the achievements are focused around playing and rating user made levels positively and on paper that…

Continues to be incredibly cool beans! I don't really have much else to say besides what I said in HTT2:M&M review: I liked the mechanical and audiovisual updates in HTT2, and I'm kind of puzzled why Discovery is a separate title rather than a DLC, and I don't get why the game had to be split in two separate games that are both titled HTT2. But none of that really matters in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable hidden object game. There are several levels that have levels within that level. There are pictures at the bottom in small boxes that gives you the picture of what you are looking for. Some of the pictures need to be changed to night/day and raining/clear. This isn't a really quick hidden object game but I enjoyed every moment that I played it. Very relaxing. Some of the hidden picture games have replay value but this one really doesn't. It is worth picking up.

I have found no options to turn the hints off, or make the ui smaller/less obtrusive. The hints are either automatically on or too easy to accidentally bump with no way to minimize them afterward, from what i can tell by clicking around. Its listed as playable on deck, and it does work and i didnt have issues technically. but i found it frustrating to play with how little screen i can actually see, especially as the levels…

A hidden-object diorama game finally given story connective tissue, following a detective's corgi case through 1930s America, a gothic Victorian manhunt and an astronaut's first-contact mission across three eras. The living dioramas are visibly more animated than before, weather switching layers onto the day/night mechanic, and clue text arrives as in-world character quips (with a corgi callback in the space era and a certain blue police box hidden for crossover fans). All eleven…

This one seemed different from the others somehow but i cant put my finger on it. Still good, but not as good. I felt the online portion is unnecesary, i hate online games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a relaxing game for when you want to play with a short amount of time, like a stage or two. Sometimes I can't seem to find any even though I have looked through all places. Well, it has done its purpose of hiding. Btw, I love the descriptions hint for their location lol, it just makes my day sometimes.
