The Secret Order: Beyond Time doesn’t do anything overtly different from other games in the hidden object genre. It sets itself apart by employing more subtle design choices, however. The focus on dense scenes is a quiet but incredibly effective change of pace, forcing you to slow down and focus on your environment instead of dashing through with rapid fire mouse clicking. You’ll also need to examine your inventory more closely to solve the puzzles, as some are a little more involved than you might expect. Beyond Time isn’t the kind of game to shout its high points from the rooftop, but once you dig into this time traveling casual adventure, you won’t be able to stop until you reach the end.
