Our take on Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Bells Collector's Edition

Rather than centering its adventure on combat or free-roaming exploration, the game builds progression around searching illustrated scenes, solving occasional mini-games, and following a literary mystery. Its structure makes hidden-object searches the main investigative activity.
