Gameplay

After her dearest grandma passed away, Natalie has inherited her grandma’s home. This is why she decided to return to her hometown to check on the house and to settle some legal matters. However, little did she know that she has stumbled upon one of the greatest kept secrets in the century and the secret concerns her new house. As you join in Natalie’s adventure, you’ll slowly uncover the story behind the game.

Natalie Brooks: Secrets of Treasure House starts off with a tutorial guiding you through the initial part of the game in order to let you better understand the game. The gameplay in this game is very much linked to its storyline. Scenes can only be played when there are items that you need to search for. For example, the earliest item you have to find is the petition form. When the magnifying glass right next to Natalie at the bottom left corner of the screen glows – it indicates that the search mode is activated and there’s something that you can find. Every place Natalie’s been to will be available for search, but in certain cases, a few selected locations are active for you to play in. To start looking for items, click on any building on the map with a magnifying glass over it.

Search mode is a timed hidden object mode. This means that within the time period given, you’ll need to explore all the locations available. In other words, the duration given is shared among all locations and you’ll have to search for items within this time limit. Each location contains 8 items that you’ll need to find. Find as many items as you can so you can proceed to the next level and maximize the points (which will contribute to generating a new tip) earned! Furthermore, if you complete a special task, you’ll earn an extra tip as well! It’s also interesting to note that every time you revisit a scene, the objects in the scene will change, making each play through refreshingly unique – it’s almost like you’re playing an entirely new scene!

Tips are the most valuable commodity in Natalie Brooks: Secrets of Treasure House. You will need to use them when you don’t know what to do in order to proceed in the game. Although you can sometimes skip using tips entirely by listening to Natalie’s comments and suggestions - she can be very helpful, tips are always a nice last resort for when you cannot figure out what the game wants you to do next! Do bear in mind that tips are very limited though, so be sure to save them up when you can! You can save up to 5 tips at a time.

Occasionally, you may also be required to collect items from locations and then use them to interact with the in-game environment or with other objects. Items that are picked up will end up in Natalie’s inventory. When you found a logical place or object to use your item/s, just click on the item in the inventory and click on the location or object you want to interact. By using certain items collected from scenes, you can solve puzzles in this game! There are even torn postcard-like painting fragments that you’ll have to collect in order to piece together the bigger picture later on! You can read about previously uncovered parts of the story in Natalie’s notebook, where she writes down her thoughts and ideas

These items may lead to interestingly unique mini-games as well! One of the earliest puzzles you’ll encounter is the lock puzzle whereby you’ll basically have to move the keys so that the middle line on the keys aligned with the line on the lock. These puzzles are randomly generated and there are different sets of solutions to different versions of the puzzle.

The downsides of Natalie Brooks: Secrets of Treasure House include no freedom to choose which room in your house you want to explore and that certain puzzles can be rather buggy. There have also been complaints that the game’s too short. However, if you’re a fan of Natalie Brooks’ hidden object game series, these little problems won’t deter you from playing this game for sure!
