Mixing point and click with Hidden Objects, Ominous Tales – The Forsaken Isle hits Xbox

We’ve played a ton of point and click adventures and even more hidden object games. It makes Ominous Tales – The Forsaken Isle on Xbox pretty intriguing. 

Mixing gameplay genres

Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S is Ominous Tales – The Forsaken Isle. From the Joindots team, it whisks us off to a little island some thirty miles off the coast of England. It’s this place that is known as The Forsaken Isle. What on earth could go wrong?

Well, as we rock up, we find that a trading mogul has seen his daughter disappear, only to one day move back into town. But she’s seen much in her time away and is now on a bit of a mission of revenge. 

We’re not expecting the narrative of Ominous Tales – The Forsaken Isle to be of the highest quality. But it’ll hopefully be in the point and click elements and Hidden Object mechanics in which this will excel. With multiple game modes promised, a blend of genres and plenty of collectibles to hunt down, it feels like the perfect game to snack on over the holiday period. 

Key features

• A modern blend between a point-and-click adventure and a hidden object game
• 4 game modes
• Numerous collectables fully integrated into the storyline
• Wallpapers, concept art, and music tracks as extras
