Peek behind a glowing volcano in the prehistoric setting, lean in to investigate your old summer cottage and comb through the bottom of an icy lake. Explore incredibly detailed and handcrafted worlds while enjoying gameplay tailor-made for VR.
Review: At its heart The Curious Tale of the Stolen Pets is little more than a hidden object game, only it is a hidden object game presented in a way that only VR could do. Each little world is so full of secrets and interesting things to find you will never want the game to end. It brings out the kid in all of us. Talking about those worlds unless you see them in VR you could never appreciate how amazing each one looks. Full of detail and life, it’s like a real miniature world right in front of your eyes. My only niggle about this game is that it is a little short, but the quality of what there is does give you the value for money. A great game for all ages.
