I thought we'd always be happy together
Season of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders is the first hidden objects game made by Square Enix, a very famous developer who brought us many amazing RPG titles. The story sat in the 18th century, a woman named Irene lives with her husband in Japan as he works in the U.S. embassy, one day she discovered his dead body in his office. To her horror, the case was closed as a suicide, but knowing her husband wouldn't commit such an act, Irene determined to reveal the killer.

This game is 'hidden objects' heavy, each scene is recycled, you'll visit them multiple times, and sadly all the items which you picked up before will still be there. The puzzles are nice and quite unique, especially the riddle ones.

I liked the soundtracks a lot, also, on the title page you'll find information about the characters you've met, unfortunately, there is no journal or objectives list as the game will just take you through the story and scenes, you can choose where to go in the man, however, you'll have to visit all the places eventually.

Pros:
+OK story.
+Beautiful soundtracks.
+Variety of unique puzzles.
+Multiple hidden objects scene.
Cons
-Recycled hidden objects scenes (you visit the same place multiple times and the items you picked before still there)
-No journal.
It's not the best game from Square Enix, I prefer them in the RPG department. If you like games with OK story and multiple random HO scenes to casually play, pick up this one on a discount.
