An exciting new entry in the hidden object category from Mystery Manor developers Game Insight, an extensive storyline, gorgeous hand-painted graphics and its Victorian England meets Wonderland setting makes Mirrors of Albion stand out like a bathroom broom in a back alley.
Alice has been kidnapped from her home, the Red Queen’s thugs roam the streets, the Cheshire Cat is the law and the Mad Hatter a police informant. I’m using the Hatter to help me track down a white rabbit, the latest step in my lengthy investigation.
I pop into a location, hunt for objects hidden in the scene, utilising any of eight different power-ups to help my ageing eyes focus. The handful of locations I’ve unlocked so far are repeated quite frequently, but multiple games types — silhouette, night, words, comparison — keep the hunting and pecking fresh while I gain experience levels and unlock more.
The older I get the more I appreciate beautiful hidden object games, and Mirrors of Albion is one of the most entertaining I’ve played. The older I get the worse my eyes get, however, so I’ll enjoy it while I can.

The Hatter looks like Nikki Sixx...
Alice looks like a cold conniving bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else because she's pretty, the Hatter doesn't even look slightly mad, and the Cheshire Cat looks like Puss in Boots from Shrek 2. It's all wrong!
