Rooms of Memory vs The Good Life
Rooms of Memory
Rooms of Memory is a classic hidden object game where you've just come into possession of a mansion that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family since its last caretaker, your uncle, has mysteriosuly vanished. Explore your vast estate as you search for clues to uncover the many and somewhat troubling family secrets the building houses, as well as hints on your uncle's current whereabouts. However, the manor won't give up its secrets so easily... it'll take preseverance on your part to eventually reveal the truth!Rooms of Memory is a somewhat simplified version of the Mystery Manor and will definitely appeal to a broader range of players (of varying skill levels). We'd recommend playing this game before attempting any of the more "hardcore" hidden object adventures.
The Good Life
The Good Life is a 3D adventure RPG featuring quests to complete, a mystery to unravel, and also a person speeding away in a highly advanced wheelchair that you can’t seem to catch up to. In this game, you play as a rather snobbish photographer from New York who’s in a massive amount of debt and the only way out is for you to complete this mysterious assignment you’re sent on – to discover why a sleepy little town is known as “the happiest town in the world”.As you play, you’ll unlock a feature that allows Naomi to change form. Without giving away too many spoilers, just know that by “changing forms”, Naomi will be able to reach areas she wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise, allowing her to uncover clues that will help in her investigation. The forms will also give her the chance to collect certain materials that she’ll need to complete quests.
The highlight of the game, however, is definitely its photography aspect. If you’ve enjoyed games where the goal is to simply capture nature at its best, then you’ll love the camera action here. Not only can you upgrade your camera (its lens specifically) to allow for more variety of shots, you actually need to rely on your photo-taking skills to earn a living in this game.
The Good Life is a pretty fun and charming adventure RPG with an interesting story to follow. The game’s easy enough for even young children to enjoy, though the protagonist, Naomi, might not make the best role model.
