Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can ist ein Wimmelbild-Adventure. Anders als viele der älteren Wimmelbild-Adventure haben wir hier aber wieder eine deutlichere Hinwendung zum klassischen Adventure, die Geschichte wird fortlaufend erzählt und die Suche nach Gegenständen, Rätsel wird über einen größeren Raum verteilt als das sonst so statische auf die Minispiel-Fenster beschränkte System. Generell ein wirklich schöner und moderner Vertreter des Genres mit vielen guten Ideen, ansprechender Optik, guter Vertonung. Lobenswert.

Ein typisches Wimmelbildspiel. Mit einer für Wimmelbildspielen gut erzählten Story.
Durschnittliche Rätsel, das Wimmelbild typische suchen.
Eher leicht als fordernd, dennoch ganz solide, für Leute auf der Suche nach guten Spielen jedoch nicht geeignet.

I spent more time trying to figure out where I was supposed to go than solving puzzles or searching for hidden objects. Toss in an incomprehensibly stupid story and I just... I'm done. I'm not finishing this one.

Thumbs down! A lot of people have had problems with needing to restart the game because of crashes. I was able to finish the game without needing to restart, but the game definitely deserves two thumbs down just for the crashes because there have been complaints about it since 2013 and MumboJumbo never actually fixed the game. There is a workaround for the crashes mentioned on the forums, but I didn’t try it.

The hidden object scenes weren’t that bad, but the rest of the game isn’t that good. The story is ridiculously far-fetched. There is too much pixel hunting required to find objects. There is no instant travel map or even a regular map. You need to use weird moon logic to solve some puzzles. There are pointless collectibles scattered throughout the game and you don’t even get any Steam achievements if you find them all. This game doesn’t have any Steam achievements or trading cards. There are in-game achievements, but that’s just not the same.

Pretty interesting puzzle game where you have to play as Angelica Weaver, a detective trying to solve a mystery. Simple and straightforward point and click hidden object puzzle game, this game had me hooked for 5 hours. Honestly get it on a sale, but if you're a fan of hidden object games, this gem is for you.

Far too many of the puzzles offered lack a strength of logic to make players feel like they accomplished something when completing them, instead of brute force efforts.

This is a very good looking casual adventure game centred on hidden object scenes and puzzles. I enjoyed seeing a gritty modern urban environment illustrated in a game of this type. I liked the puzzle variety and difficulty, which was more difficult than average. The narrative is interesting enough – you are tasked with solving a series of murders that appear to parallel those of Jack the Ripper, and through Detective Weaver’s supersensory visions, you periodically travel back to 19th century Whitechapel to solve those crimes, providing clues to the crimes of modern Chicago. Voice acting was good. There are no Steam Achievements or Trading Cards associated with the game.

Be aware!!! You could activate a fatal error in this game! So you need to start from the beginning! (Like i did...). (Sadly i dont know, what exactly triggers those). There is a chance for frame rate problemes (like i had...).

But! If you have no problems with the game, you will get a medicore HOG experience.

If ‘Angelica Weaver’ had a map and an objective indicator, then its endless item chases would feel much less of a chore to play. In its current form, only those hidden object enthusiast will enjoy it who prefer surprisingly challenging games.

Long version:

Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can could have been so much better than it is. While it uses a recurring trope of a psychic detective as a protagonist, and it even mixes Jack the Ripper into its plot, the featured serial murder mystery is presented in such a compelling way—especially with the nice voice-acting—that sometimes we can easily forget it is just a casual hidden object game.

Alas, the execution is poor. There is no map and the gameplay area is relatively large, so it is easy to get lost, miss one of the tiny mandatory items, and generally have the “where the hell do I have to go now?!” feeling.

Its hidden object scenes are similarly difficult, albeit it is likely a deliberate choice rather than bad design. For this reason, if you like your HOGs with a challenge, then try your hand at it, but otherwise even the gigantic twist in the bonus chapter cannot justify its issues.

What's wrong with the Artifex Mundi HOGs is not in this game: boringly repeated generic story. Catch Me When You Can has a good story. If you find the gameplay short (which is not), there is a bonus chapter also. During the gameplay you act as a detective to stop a serial killer. To do so, first you need to solve a historical crime first. The game has good HO scenes as well as nice puzzles. If you are looking for a good HOG with a nice story go for it.

This was a fine hidden object adventure until it decided not to let me play anymore. Should you happen to quit the game in the middle of a puzzle any attempt to start it up again will lead to a debug report launching instead of the game itself. The developers posted about fixing this problem in the Steam forum in December of 2013, but then gave up without a word. Can't really recommend it based on that.

Hidden object games have come a long way from their iSpy/Highlights inspired roots, branching off from simply searching for random objects in a scene of junk into something more akin to a casual adventure game. Angelica Weaver is an exceptional example of this, blending traditional adventure and HOG gameplay into an enjoyably ridiculous murder mystery, all held together with impressively high production values.

Catch Me When You Can follows Chicago detective Angelica Weaver, on the case for a serial killer that seems to be copying a series of murders that occurred a hundred years ago. For reasons never quite explained, Weaver can revisit scenes from the past, and in doing so begins to piece together both the murders from the past and how they tie in with the present. It's predictably convoluted and ultimately leads to a rather silly and anticlimactic ending, but on the whole it's just compelling enough to keep you entertained.

A bit more frustrating is its often confusing puzzle logic and consistent inability to properly communicate where you need to go. I'd often find myself clicking randomly around the screen hoping to trigger something I'd missed before, only to find I needed to travel several screens back and use a random object to obtain another random object which somehow let me progress past where I was. It's not so awful as to make me quit the game, but it's annoying to have to rely on the hint system so often when it should be a last resort used for particularly challenging puzzles.

Although perhaps not a showcase of the absolute best HOGs have to offer, Angelica Weaver is on the whole a rather enjoyable (if occasionally overly self indulgent in both its story and illogical logic) casual adventure that is almost completely satisfying once you look past some of its more persistent issues. Though I doubt we will ever see a direct sequel, I wouldn't object if Mumbo Jumbo continued with this style and quality of HOGs, which are if nothing else miles ahead of most games of the genre.

MumboJumbo's HOG games are top notch. If you already play HOG games, then you probably already know that.

If you're one of those people who haven't really tried them but look down upon them automatically as a non-game or something overly casual, consider giving one a try. I did, and I was hooked.

HOG games are great when you're just looking to take a relaxing break and not for something that will raise your adrenaline or stress your brain too much.

I posted this review on the Angelica Weaver title arbitrarily, but the others I've played are of comparable quality. Midnight Mysteries is a great series as well.

For about 5 minutes I thought this game might be okay. While there isn’t much plot It has a reasonable murder mystery premise to give you some motivation and initially the game made some logical sense e.g. use pruners to cut plant, find key, use key on door.

Fairly simple but not bad. Then suddenly it a case of there are 10 random bricks hidden in places that make no sense. They might be under the sofa, in a gutter, up a lamp pole and you have to find all of them by basically clicking everywhere. Even worse finding some of them requires using inventory items that could logically be used almost everywhere, so again, click click click..

There are some simple mini games to break this up the crushing monotony. But honestly it’s too late, you’ve already started to question all the decisions you’ve made in your life that has led you to this point of trying to extract some pitiful entertainment from clicking every pixel your monitor can muster.

I really enjoyed this game. You play through as cop named Angelica Weaver, who can receive visions from the dead, which she uses to solve crimes.

The gameplay is broken up into three different kinds of play. Most of the game will be spent in a sort of point and click adventure mode where you'll collect tools and other objects to help you progress through the game. I was actually suprised how much of like a classic point and click this felt like.

Every now and again you'll search a location more in depth with a more traditional hidden object screen with a list of objects to find. This was fairly well designed and only one or maybe two times was I asked to find an item that I wasn't sure what it would look like.

And thirdly, occasionally you will reach a puzzle or minigame to mix things up. I really liked the puzzles, I never really felt all that challenged by them? But, I have played a lot of puzzle games in my time so, I might have had a lot of prior experience on my side. However, I don't believe the puzzles were meant to be all that difficult, instead just rewarding and fun to play with. I was quite happy with the puzzles.

If I had anything bad to say, the writing of Catch Me When You Can is a little clunky at times but has a good payoff. And, the voice acting was a little flat, kinda under acted at times. But, these were minor hiccups and I was able to take them with a grain of salt.

This edition also features some extra content which was pretty decent too. After you finish the game, you can go back and play any hidden object screen in an infinite object mode, where you find every possible object in the screen. Also, there's an extra chapter which surprisingly added a lot more to the story than I was expecting.

I wouldn't just recommend this to fans of the genre, I'd recommend this to fans of adventure games with an open mind. Hidden Object games have come a long way and arguably have more room to grow, but this was a great bit of fun.
