Everyone knows the books of ‘Where's Wally' or ‘Waldo', where you need to find the guy with the striped shirt in a huge crowd. For some, this might be a bit overwhelming, but then this game comes into play. Before we had Hidden Folks, where you had to find several objects in a black and white setting and today we are able to go through the different worlds of Hidden Through Time. Clad in colors and cute graphics, it's a way to ease your mind and train those seeking skills.

Story

There isn't any story value linked to this game, except the fact that you're passing through several eras of history, finding your way through crowds of people or other objects to find that one specific item on your to-do list. In a way, it would have been nice if there was at least some narrative linked, to spice things up a bit, but the game just serves perfectly to have a small break from work and try to focus on cute images instead of the problems the world faces now.

Graphics

Compared to the huge games these days where the graphics are so amazing and realistic, this game tends to go back to a really simple but cute way of drawing. You'll be venturing through several hand-drawn environments where you have to find the smallest of items or some adorable little variations of stickmen. Each era has its own characteristics, but the similarities still show and make it really fun to dive from one world into another as you can explore new sprites.

Sound

With this game, it's only natural that the music is more soothing rather than up-tempo. You will emerge into these different worlds and you'll try to find all of the items on the to-do list and with some being harder to find than others, getting an adrenaline-kick is not something you want to have. Next to the tranquil tunes that will leave your speakers, Hidden Through Time also offers a variety of sound effects that just increases the cute factor even more. It really gives the game that special touch and will leave you smiling while searching for the next object.

Gameplay

Hidden Through Time is a hide and seek game where you need to find several items on an interactive map. You start with the stone age, or a cute interpretation of it at least, and go all the way to Ancient Egypt and even the Middle Age. Each level will have its own to-do list you need to complete, and of course, some are easier to find than others. To assist you, each item has a short cryptic description on where to find this on the map and it certainly is a big help. If you think you have found something, just click on it and you'll know soon enough if you were right or not. There isn't any penalty when clicking on faulty things so go nuts.

Some of these items are hidden inside buildings or other housing, they can be partly hidden behind other elements or move around. There isn't any time pressure to find the different objects, but you do need a certain amount found before you're able to go to a new level. This also means that you don't have to find all items on a certain level, so you can just continue if you have found enough in previous levels.

There isn't much more to the game gameplay-wise, but there are online possibilities for you to explore. First of all, you can create your own maps from scratch thanks to the editor. Let your imagination go wild, as you can practically make the same levels as the developers. You can use anything, put in moving elements or hide everything wherever you want. If your masterpiece is ready, you can then push it to the clouds, where everyone can enjoy your creation. It might be best to keep this in mind, to create something fun and feasible so others can enjoy it and rate your map positively. Of course, if creating yourself isn't your forte, you can just enjoy the content others put out there. Thanks to this option, the content is endless and you'll be able to enjoy it for a longer time.

Conclusion

Hidden Through Time will take you on a journey through several eras, making it fun and interactive both for kids as grown-ups. The graphics are adorable and the music will make you at ease, letting all the stress of the day slip away. Although the provided content is fun and engaging, it isn't endless. This is where the online possibility comes into play, giving you the opportunity to create and enjoy the creative dreams of others.

It can be difficult to find time to finish a video game, especially if you only have a few hours a week to play. In our biweekly column Short Play, we suggest video games that can be started and finished in a weekend.

Often, when I'm not sure what I want to play, I go browsing the new releases on Steam, Itch.io, and the Nintendo eShop until something grabs my attention. Usually, it's a game that fits my mood, which, like a lot of other people's moods lately, is a bit more anxious than usual. While in such a state, I'm almost more interested in playing something familiar and relaxing instead of something new. That's probably why I've put so many hours into Animal Crossing: New Horizons and also why Hidden Through Time got my attention.

Hidden Through Time is a game where you locate hidden objects in a scene, similar to 2017's Hidden Folks, the Where's Waldo? books, and the puzzles inside the Highlights magazine at your childhood doctor's office. It's about as simple as a game could be: it presents you with some objects, animals, and / or people at the bottom of your screen, which you have to locate. Once you've found enough of them, you then move onto the next level.

This is how things progress in the game's story mode, which doesn't really have a story. Rather, it is a progression of 26 levels that take place across four fantastical interpretations of specific periods in human history: Stone Age with dinosaurs, ancient Egypt with giant gods walking around, medieval Europe with goblins, and the American Wild West. Each period provides a unique aesthetic, along with new sets of buildings, objects, and people. Aside from being visually pleasing, this also helps the gameplay from growing stagnant.

By the time you're near the end of a time period, you will have adapted to become more efficient at parsing the levels for where things are, so it can start to feel repetitive. In this way, the change in appearance isn't just visual, but a new challenge to adapt to the new visual language of the level. For instance, the Stone Age period is full of rounded and curved things; a lot of green between the trees, bushes, and dinosaurs; and trees and bushes are often overlapping or hiding other objects. In the ancient Egypt stages that follow it, it is more yellow, things are more straight line and square, while people and buildings are more densely packed together, yet not overlapping in the same way.

There are a lot of similar choices that might go unnoticed while you're playing, but they show that a lot of consideration is made about how things are hidden in a scene. Generally, objects are near where you might expect them to be; a sword will likely be near a knight, and bread will usually be in a kitchen or at a meal. But the game also uses small scenes within the level to not only look amusing, but also as a way to draw your attention to an area where an object might be. For example, in one stage, you are tasked with finding a sword stuck in a stone that happens to be hidden near a wizard and a boy, aping Merlin and a young King Arthur.

When the game breaks from your expectation or if you find yourself confounded as to where something is, there is a hint system. These are some of the best hints I've seen in a game, as they are like their own little puzzle that tells you just enough to point you in the right direction. A hint in one level for a small stone statue was something to the effect of, 'I made this so I'd be less lonely,' which tells you that you need to be looking for someone or something by itself and that they perhaps resemble the statue.

Perhaps the game's best feature is that it has a level creation tool, which lets you quickly make your own levels and upload them for other people to play. The editor is all drag and drop, first letting you pick which of the time periods you want to use, and then giving you access to all of the buildings, people, and objects from it that you can use to populate your level. Or if you aren't interested in making levels, you can just download other people's, effectively giving you access to far more levels than you could possibly play.
