Summary Short free hidden object puzzle game in a whimsical world and unexpected backstory. Demo with full game sold as DLC. Pros + Unexpected story + Fun Cons - Could be a demo instead of full game as DLC Overview Varenje is a short hidden object puzzle game mostly taking place in a dream like whimsical world but with a wild underlying story. The first part of the game is basically a demo, letting you try for free with the rest of the full game chapters sold as DLC. The gameplay is very simple as you mostly spend time looking for items tracked on the side of the screen to progress and the items aren't particularly hard to find as long as you look carefully. There is a bit of back and forth between areas as you can only collect items that are currently needed to progress, luckily each level is confined to only a few zones. Puzzles are mostly not very difficult but there are a few that is slightly more challenging and require some thought. Like many of the genre there is a hint system to help you out if you can't seem to find the next item, but it is done differently as hints can always be used as long as you can first solve its puzzle each time. Although the item finding gameplay is the main part of the game there is actually a story between levels that play as cutscenes. As you progress and watch each cutscene more of the story unfolds and things are just wild. Achievements are mostly tied to finishing the game but there are also some that require you to collect all items across levels.

My kids liked playing this game, but the story is awful, sick. At the end a bitter aftertaste remained. Fair to say, we did no play DLC. From a storytelling point of view, I recommend My Brother Rabbit, a similar puzzle game, but which excels in every aspect.

One of the more unique hidden object games I've run across. The meta-textual cut scenes are a little weird (perhaps something lost in translation?), but do lend an additional dimension to the whole affair.
