About 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek

About this game

9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is an original hidden-object puzzle-adventure game, featuring a totally unique Detective Mode. These thrilling mystery merges elements of classical horror and gritty, 50’s-style noir.

A paranormal private investigator is contacted by her friend, famous reporter Helen Hunter, whose voice sounds small and terrified in the voicemail. She is in the coastal town of Serpent Creek, and needs help immediately.

But upon arriving in Serpent Creek, the detective finds no trace of Ms. Hunter.
Weirder still is the fact the town’s streets are crawling with snakes, and the citizens seem to be sleepwalking through life. The ground shakes with violent tremors.
When investigating Serpent Creek, the detective will perform true investigative work: finding clues and combining them to learn the secrets of every crime scene in the all new Detective Mode!

Kilroy's review of 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek

Kilroy
Verified purchase
Synopsis 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek is a hidden object adventure game, without a lot of hidden object puzzles. Most of the hidden object games I have played have had more hidden object puzzles. Not that you miss them there are other puzzles to keep you occupied. Story Your friend calls and says they need your help, but they can't discuss it over the phone, come quick. You arrive at Serpent Creek and get assigned your friend's room. Right after you discover a clue the hotel clerk comes in and tells you that they need to clean the room. You find your friend, but something isn't quite right, figure it out and save the town. Gameplay The game constantly swaps out the kinds of puzzles you need to solve to advance. I play on the casual mode and it is very helpful in letting you know what you need focus on so that you can advance. The puzzles were not too difficult, I was able to solve everything without asking for a hint. Final Verdict I recommend this game. A good game where you don't feel like you are endlessly searching for hidden objects. This game would be a good introduction to the hidden object game genre. The price is a bit higher than what I personally would pay, I got it as part of bundle and paid much less than retail.
