Play Overview
Hidden Folks (2017) tasks you with exploring hand-drawn worlds to find particular people. It’s simple enough for youngsters to control but complex enough to keep parents and carers involved too.
As you tap and click around to search the area you can move objects, open windows and lift flaps. It takes care and attention to find each person but you have some help from a strip of targets shows you what to look for. You can also tap a target for a hint, and find enough to unlock the next area.
