You may be tempted to use the skip option of the matching puzzle where you are presented with a board containing dozens of miniature items and you must find the only two matches. However, if you opt to skip a puzzle, you'll preclude yourself from getting the trophy for completing all puzzles without using a skip. The puzzles are fairly easy, but in case you get stuck, they provide a handy 'skip' option after a few minutes. While the game doesn't take long to beat, it's still provides a challenge. As the game progresses, items will get tougher to spot and will be faded into the background or well hidden. It starts off pretty easily, providing you with items that are fairly easy to spot. The level of difficulty in Letters from Nowhere 2 is just right throughout the game. You can also use Unlimited Mode to pick up any stamps or cats that you missed along the way in the Story Mode. To find the very last cat, you'll have to look for him within a level not previously seen in Unlimited Mode. There is also a black cat located in each level and if you can find all 32 cats across the levels, you can unlock Puzzle Mode, allowing you to play the puzzles as often as you like. Here, you have the pictures instead of the words and each location will contain a Jack in the Box, a Camera and a Thermometer that can help you earn bonus points and locate items. If you can collect 50 stamps across the various locations, you can unlock Unlimited Mode, which is where you can revisit all 32 locations from across the game and locate 50 items in each level. In addition to finding these items, there is an additional challenge of locating the three hidden stamps in each level.

These puzzles typically revolve around obtaining a key item to advance the storyline. These are indicated by either an item you can pick up and move around or an item with spinning gears over it when you click it.įrom time to time, you will come across puzzles such as a picture with puzzles pieces to be put back together, a memory game, a rotating puzzle, a 'spot the differences' puzzle, a matching pairs puzzle and my least favorite, a puzzle where you must fit everything exactly into a tight spot. Still other items will have two parts and you must find both parts and combine them to eliminate the item from the list. Some of the items list descriptions instead, so you have to figure out what item you are searching for by what it says. However, using it will cost you 250 points, so it's not a 'free' hint system.

The items will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the HUD, plus you will have a magnifying glass that fills over time and clicking it will provide you with the location of one of the missing items. The storyline picks up where it left off in Letters from Nowhere with Audrey trying to desperately find her missing husband, Patrick, while trying to figure out these 'letters from nowhere.' You'll travel through different areas of the town of Nowhere and each level will have a group of items for you to hunt out. Gameplay in Letters from Nowhere 2 is mostly standard hidden object fare, with an occasional puzzle thrown into the mix. It completely sets the mood and, combined with the other little sound effects going on in levels such as a scurrying rodent, a galloping ghost horse or a ticking clock, will really set your nerves on edge. Sure, it's the same music that was used in the previous game, but it is downright spooky and very well done. The most eerie element in Letter from Nowhere 2 has to be the background music. I do think that some of the art assets were re-used across a few levels, but it wasn't patently obvious and the levels appeared to be all-new for this game. The game sets a creepy tone with the rundown locations you will be searching, whether it be using a dingy babydoll or peeling wallpaper. The levels you will visit are varied and will take you all over town to locations like a magic shop, the police department, a spooky mansion, a fair or a theater and even a gruesome bloody altar. It's a little tricky, but it works for the genre. You might see a ginormous hairbrush hidden in the length of a curtain, whereas you might see a tiny mouse sitting on a chair.

Everything looks pretty good and items are recognizable, although Letter from Nowhere 2 uses the age-old hidden object trick of making disproportionately-sized items for you to find. The aesthetic in Letter from Nowhere 2 is naturally very similar to that of Letters from Nowhere.
