Crime O’Clock is a hidden object game where each setting is linked to one another. In this 2D adventure game from Bad Seed, you will take on the role of a detective who has to solve mysteries over a number of different eras in order to prevent crimes from happening in a future timeline.

Similar to games like Mystery Hotel - Hidden Object, Crime O'Clock requires you to locate specific items in crowded spaces filled with characters and objects. However, one major difference in this game is that the maps can change over time.

Different scenes for every time marker

Crime O'Clock presents a unique take on your typical hidden object titles. It mixes in elements of point-and-click games, which allows you to pick up clues and connect related events. The game is presented in a largely black-and-white format, with a few pops of colors here and there to indicate investigation notes. This can make it quite hard to view certain elements of the sizable map.

Worry not, though, as you can easily zoom in on any area of your choice to get a better view. The maps available in this game also feature various time markers that you can check out to determine the cause of a crime, as well as the culprits and victims. Solving the aforementioned crimes can cause the map to change, as well, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.

In case you’re having trouble figuring out a case, you can make use of the advanced AI, EVE. EVE will provide you with a number of different tools that you can use to deduce how certain events occurred and switch between action and puzzle mechanics in a snap. This AI can also provide you with helpful hints and will evolve as you solve more cases.

Not as easy as you might think

Players can expect an incredibly unique experience in Crime O'Clock, with its interconnected storylines and large, ever-changing maps. While the black-and-white depiction of images can make it harder to spot important details, the game offers a variety of tools that can help you out, especially in the form of the intelligent AI bot that will evolve with new features as soon as you solve a new case.
