Dark Parables: Curse of the Briar Rose [Collector's Edition]

This is Dark Parables #1, a lackluster retelling of the Sleeping Beauty classic.

Hidden-object games are only as good as their hidden-object scenes. In this case, they are awful. They are actually hidden-fragment scenes, where the challenge is to recognize a handful of pixels against the similarly-colored, low-resolution backdrop. There's nothing satisfying about solving these.

I'll say one good thing about the game: the drawings are lovely and many. But the gameplay is so bad that it's impossible to recommend.
