Echoes of the Past:
The Citadels of Time
Platform: Mac, Windows
Ding dong the witch is dead! Wait, what? She's still not dead? Not only that, the old hag is back and badder than ever creating havoc in the museum in Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time, the latest hidden object adventure hybrid by Orneon and sequel to both Echoes of the Past: Royal House of Stone and Echoes of the Past: The Castle of Shadows. Perhaps it's time to stop hanging out in that darn museum? Just saying.
In this, the third time around, the witch is getting really ticked off with your interfering with her plans, and once again she has cast a curse upon the museum, this time freezing various parts of it in time and trapping the inhabitants of the past (the museum was once a castle) as ghostly apparitions. It is up to you to explore this spooky museum, travel back in time, and find all the pieces of the cursed clock to set things right and hopefully defeat the witch yet again. Maybe she'll stay defeated this time around? Please?
Wandering through the museum (and the other parts of the castle trapped in time) is accomplished with the usual click of a button. A handy changing cursor indicates areas to examine, places to go, people to see, and items to acquire. The controls are pretty standard for the usual adventure/hidden object hybrid with one notable exception: the top loading inventory. As most hybrids have the inventory on the bottom of the screen, this can take a bit of getting used to. Acquire items either through picking them up as many useful things are just laying around, by solving hidden object scenes to get that one perfect item, or by solving a large array of mini-games and puzzles. A handy refilling hint feature and the obligatory notebook to keep track of clues round out the adventure experience.
Analysis: Although Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time is the same story of the witch and the museum and the castle, it is definitely worth a look-see. The visuals are lovely with amazing little details and animations that really bring them to life. What's even better is how interactive the backgrounds are, with puzzles, games, and other details packed in everywhere you look. Yes, the story has been done before (and not just in the Echoes of the Past series), but it's always gratifying to see it done right.
A lot of adventuring and hidden object finding is packed within the confines of the five chapters (and bonus adventure if you get the collector's edition) and that, more than anything, is what makes Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time a real treat and elevates it past many of the hybrids on the market. The hidden objects scenes are the first of what makes the game so fabulous as they are not completely static and require some interaction to find all of the items on your shopping list. Amusingly enough, you will never see the one item that eventually goes into your inventory until you find everything else you've been ordered to find which cuts down on the "okay, I've found the shovel, so why do I have to find all this other crap?" type of hidden object scene. Best of all are the "reverse" hidden object scenes (a la Enlightenus) in which items you previously found in other hidden object scenes then need to be placed back into another scene, mixing up the gameplay.
The mini-games and puzzles are pretty familiar but done really well, although almost every puzzle is missing pieces that must be found along the way. Considering the sheer volume of games and puzzles, this can be a bit annoying and feel more like padding as the game goes on. A nice feature of the collector's edition is not only the extra adventure but the ability to go back and play some of the mini-games and puzzles over just for the fun of it without the tedious finding of parts to activate them.
While not the perfect adventure hybrid, Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time is nevertheless one of the better ones out there, with lots of adventure and gameplay to be had. With two modes (easy and advanced) controlling the amount of hand-holding the game can be fun for amateur and seasoned explorer alike and a great way to spend some time exploring both the modern world and the distant past. With its gorgeous visuals, spooky music, and packed gameplay this is an adventure/hidden object game done right! Perhaps it's best if that annoying witch doesn't stay defeated...
A Collector's Edition is also available. It includes wallpapers, an extra adventure, the ability to play some of the mini-games and puzzles, and a built-in strategy guide.

Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time Walkthrough Part 1 (General Information and Chapters 1-2)
General Information
NOTE: Many of the puzzles and hidden object scenes are randomized between games, therefore screenshots should be used as a reference, rather than a definitive solution.
At the start of each game, the player has a choice between Regular or Advanced Mode. Regular Mode provides additional hints and highlights active zones with sparkles. Advanced Mode does not indicate active zones.
At the beginning of a new game, you will be prompted to start the Tutorial, which will teach you the basic functions of the cursor and game mechanics.
In the top left corner of the screen is the Book. Important plot information as well as clues to future puzzles are all noted inside your Book.
In the top right corner of the screen is the Hint button. Click the button to receive instructions in a puzzle, highlight any interactive areas in the current scene, or to reveal an item in a hidden object scene.
Hidden object scenes consist of one screen with a randomized list of concealed items that must be found and collected.
At the end of each hidden object scene, you will receive the Final Item, which is then placed in your Inventory.
Your inventory is the bar located at the top of the screen and contains all of the objects you will need to progress through the game. Throughout the walkthrough, these collected items will be indicated in bold.
