Memory Clinic [Game Download]

I like that the games do not take a long time and you can start and stop. You must pay attention (no TV viewing at the same time) or you will miss clues. Absorbing.
One of the games does not give good instructions, but I like the veriety and the short period of time it takes to play. Also, has a quick training mode for mini games. Well worth the cost of the download.

This game will appeal to fans of Ouat's 'Pure Hidden'. It doesn't quite have the zen of that game, and the clinical 'backstory' is quite hokey, but it has many of the abstract search scenes that I liked so much in 'Pure Hidden'. (I completely disagree with the reviewer who claimed the items were unrecognisable - some are very hard to find, but the graphics are excellent.)

I've played about 5 hours now (skipping most of the minigames, as I don't like the 'repeat after me' type of game), and although I'm revisiting some search screens, I'm still discovering new ones. The game seems to have a random algorithm that determines what scene and type of search you'll get next. This isn't the type of game you'd sit down and play from start to finish - it's more of a relaxation-type game you might play for 20 minutes now and then.

I'm glad there was a trial version to try before buying. It has different "games" searching for items in a picture (a few of which were unrecognizable), pattern remembering games, and a tone game like Simon. The worst part was they actually play background music during the "Simon" game. I decided it wasn't worth even the daily deal $2.99 price so I passed on it. It's a 30 minute free trial, which is barely enough to decide, but I lost interest in 30 minutes.
