Rarely is there a truly innovative Hidden Object focused game, and 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is no different. Fortunately, it's still a solid example of the genre and does try to offer something a little original, even if it doesn't go quite far enough.
Gameplay is familiar but done well. A selection of Hidden Object scenes litter the game, and offer some variety in the form of connecting together items to create a listed item. They're a little on the easy side for the experienced Hidden Object fan, but it's enjoyable. Elsewhere are a variety of puzzles, with some proving simple enough and others being quite taxing. The logical ones were my favorite; generally involving some thought as well as a touch of trial and error.
A fine mix of tried and tested methods, 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is a rewarding casual adventure game. It might not revolutionize despite its efforts with the reconstruction mode, and it's a little on the easy side, but it is fun and bound to entertain fans of the genre.
