Is it just me or can you spot a hidden object game just by the title and image for it? It's hard to explain but when I'm browsing Steam Gifts and I see a title I've never seen before I'll be like, "oh that's gonna be tagged with 'hidden object' when I view the Steam store link for it," and I don't want to say that I've been right 100% of the time but I can't ever remember being wrong.

Can You Tell That a Game is a Hidden Object Game Before You Visit the Steam Store Page?

I don't pay enough attention.
I just love free games so much I never even bother to visit the Steam page for any games so I have no idea what genre the game in the giveaway is, or if it's even a game rather than a movie or software. Also, I didn't even read this entire option because

I was wrong last week. I said HOG! But it was a shooter I think...

I'm sure I've been wrong. I just can't remember.

I'm at the point now where if I was wrong my head might explode and purple dust would fly out, like in the commercials for that website. That I can't even remember. Which is either a real indictment of my memory, or of the effectiveness of an ad campaign that I remember the content of really well but can't even remember who it is for.

Usually yes. But there are some casual first-person adventure games with similar names and pics.

It's usually something like Crystal Crystals: The Enchanted Enchantress, and the art features a nicely-drawn female. Artifex Mundi mostly does this, but I think I've seen some others as well.

Only eight of the twenty three Artifex Mundi titles on steam feature a female in their grid image,. Nicely drawn is subjective.

I guess that shows which way my memory is biased :D, anyway they usually feature a character.

As for nicely drawn, I didn't express myself very well. What I mean is the images have a painted quality to them; they're not pixely, 3D, screenshots or photo-realistic.

Indeed.

Title: More Title with like a 61.9% chance of of a mystery, secret or legend being referenced.

Mysteries 2: Secrets of the Legend is the most possible HOG title, I think.
