I consider myself a collector of video games. Whether I got my games in a really good sale or from a game bundle; I’m currently sitting on over 300 games, many I have yet to try out. Guess it is time to delve into the pile and see if I can find some awesome games for you to play.
This week I chose to try out the game named Finding Teddy.

Finding Teddy is a Puzzle Point and Click game where you play as a little girl who is trying to find her teddy bear that was stolen by a monster from the cupboard in her room. She follows the monster though the cupboard and then finds herself in a magical world full of bizarre creatures and enchanting sounds. Now she must explore this strange land and help its inhabitants in order to rescue her Teddy.

The gameplay of this game is pretty simple. You mainly move around the world by clicking the sides of the screen to move on to the next area. You will quickly find that some areas you won’t be able to get to until you solve a puzzle or help one of the inhabitants. For example, one of the first “puzzles” you come across is trying to get bye a large blob creature blocking your path. If you don’t come to it with the right item it will eat you and digest you.

While these ‘bring object to creature’ puzzles are common in the game, one of the more unique types of puzzle that is common in the game as well is the musical puzzles. On the top of the screen you can reveal some lines of musical “notes” that you can press, each playing a different tone. As you go through the game you reveal more and more of these notes as you solve puzzles using them.

In this world the little girl is traveling though, the only way to communicate is by uses of these musical notes. This game contains no dialogue, only music. Even the sound effects in the game are just a series of musical tones. This is probably one of the things I enjoyed most about this game. It’s very calming and really adds to the atmosphere of the game.

One of the main problems I did find with the game was that at the beginning of the game you are just thrown into this world without really any idea how to move or how to even play. But after a bit of randomly clicking around the screen I quickly figured things out and was able to get the feel of it.

I would rate this game a 7/10. The games aesthetic and general atmosphere is very enjoyable. And while the puzzles weren’t overly hard, it feels good to figure them out and move on to the next area. So, if you are a fan of Point and Click games or just want a simple, calming game to spend a couple hours playing I would recommend this game to you. If you are not a fan of these sorts of games, it may not be for you.

You can buy it for PC, Mac, and Linux here. (Finding Teddy is currently on sale 50% off on Steam until 3/10/14)
It is also available for iOS and Android.
