Dark Heritage: Guardians of Hope

Dark Heritage: Guardians of Hope is a hidden object adventure game. You are summoned to the deserted island of Castle Rock to solve the mystery of the missing philosopher’s stone. Everyone has disappeared under mysterious circumstances and a shadowy figure watches your every moment from far away. Is this person the reason for everybody’s disappearance? Following the trail of your Professor you must find the philosopher’s stone before evil forces do so that you can save the world from total annihilation.

The game follows the same style of gameplay known from this genre requiring you to search location screens for hidden objects. Along the way objects or mechanisms need to be manipulated in order to progress. Hidden object screens or items you pick up along your path will help you but also a journal that tracks everything that happens as well as every code you collect for future use. The latter will be useful as you’ll come across puzzles that need solving. If you get stuck it’s possible to use a hint that will either skip a puzzle or point you in the correct direction although must be used sparingly due to the time it takes the hint bar to refill. Nine collectable scrolls can be found illustrating what occurred on the island prior to your arrival.
