Seriously, “Hidden Object casual game?” Why would anyone come up with such an odd -- not to mention boring -- phrase to describe an upcoming game? I mean, c’mon GameMill Entertainment, no one is going to want to play Lost Secrets Bermuda Triangle with such a terrible sales pitch; you’ve got to give us a little more information than that.

“GameMill and Gunnar Games have worked together to create a hidden object game with in depth levels, minigames, and puzzles that stand above the rest,” said Gary Miller, CEO of GameMill Entertainment.

Oh, ok, so it’s an adventure game. Why didn’t you say so? You can’t just utter the word “casual” and expect mobs of people to suddenly gain interest in your product. Not unless your name begins with N and ends with -intendo, that is.

Anyway, Lost Secrets is about a librarian named Rachel who travels to the Bermuda Triangle after learning about a relative that went missing in a famous shipwreck. After arriving, she hires a salvage captain to help her … uh, find hidden objects. There’ll also be pirates; presumably the unhelpful kind.

Lost Secrets Bermuda Triangle will be releasing in North America for the PC and Mac this October.

Burnsville, MN - September 22, 2008 – GameMill Entertainment and Gunnar Games today announced the release of a new Hidden Object casual game, titled Lost Secrets™ Bermuda Triangle. The product will offer players the ability to explore a series of sunken wrecks and shipyards near the Bermuda Triangle.

“GameMill and Gunnar Games have worked together to create a hidden object game with in depth levels, minigames, and puzzles that stand above the rest.” Gary Miller, CEO of GameMill Entertainment.

In Lost Secrets™ Bermuda Triangle our Story begins when Rachel, a librarian discovers that she has a relative who went missing as apart of a famous wreck in the mysterious seas of the Atlantic. Throughout her journey she must sort out fact from fiction as the modern day Pirates of the Bermuda Triangle are happy to “help” her along the way!

“Lost Secrets™ Bermuda Triangle has a great storyline with romance and deception that will draw the players into the game.“ Jamie Nye, President of Gunnar Games.

Lost Secrets™ Bermuda Triangle will be available at retail stores across the country and online through many portals beginning October 2008.

It's not an adventure game though. It's basically a "find shit" game. There are a ton of these on PC, I've played a couple. They're fun for a little bit, but nothing spectacular at all, and certainly not adventure games in any way. Typically what you do is find some shit in a picture, and then you get a little mini puzzle to solve (Like a jigsaw puzzle or something), then you get a little piece of "story", and then you go find more shit.

That is true Aerox, but I think in this case, they just make you find stuff. Its probably more Wheres Waldo than anything else. And much like Wheres Waldo books, once you've finished the puzzle, you'll never pick it up again.
