Hello, my friends. After a long break Big Fish Games released new Collector's Edition of Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game - Depths of Betrayal. Game is created by the Artogon Games and dedicated to the unusual for today (but still very popular) steampunk thematics. You won't see any ghosts or sorcerers in Depths of Betrayal - only science, only robots. But better to see once than hear a hundred times - let's watch Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition gameplay video.

As you may see, Depths of Betrayal is dedicated to the destiny of the powerful robot, who disobey to his masters and start a rebellion. Robot (and many other mechanisms in town, where Depths of Betrayal's actions taking place) is working using power of steam, so this Adventure dedicated to the steampunk genre.

Steampunk, used in Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition appeared as an independent sub-genre of a science fiction not long time ago - only during 1980s and early 1990s (Wikipedia About Steampunk). Just in best traditions of steampunk characters of Depths of Betrayal are wearing Victorian clothes and suits, steam power is widely used - even more widely, than the electricity. But let's start our review.

All futuristic innovations of steam Victorians can only dream about are implemented in this happy town. Steam coaches, steam locomotives, all kinds of anachronistic technology can be found in Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition. And robots, steam golems - everywhere, of course.

Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition Game style is row and correct - Victorian art, architecture, culture, even Victorian press - everything included. Look like works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne were visionary and all their science fiction inventions came true. But there is always a fly in the ointment, and red (or green) eyes of the steam golems, doing all the dirty work all around the town, watching you with more and more strange facial expression.

You came into this happy steampunk-haven town after receiving invitation from the Ph.D. Morgan Grundlagen, your old friend and famous inventor. You lost all connections with him a long time ago, but suddenly receiving a letter, in which Morgan asking your help. And that's how Depths of Betrayal begins.

Grundlagen wrote, that he is administer an experiment, very unusual one. If Morgan's experiment will succeeded, it may become a new word in steam science, in science at all - absolute breakthrough! But Morgan wrote, that your participation and expertise is absolutely necessary for the project success. That is strange, because you aren't pretty good in science - you are more experienced in talking and convincing people. Once you participated in doctor's robotic development, but that was a long time ago and you moved forward since than.

Morgan Grundlagen was so persistent that he prepay all transport expenses. He promised that after your train arrival at 17-00 he will meet you on the train station, but when you arrive there was no one there. And this is just the first mystery of Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition! Soon you finding out the terrible truth: last Grundlagen's creation - steam robot - turned against his creator, betrays him. And now he is doing damage and destruction all over the town, killing the team members that are created him.

Train crashes, havoc spreading wider, so you take as a first priority task to stop the crazy robot. Looking for the way to do so you are also looking for the answers: why this is happening, why simple robot become rebel, how he gained free will? You will examine darkest depths of betrayal on your way to the game end, even watch the video of Grundlagen's death from the hands of the golem. You will explore incredible locations, travel on the giant dirigible, cable car over a precipice and - in the end - directly face the rebel robot.

Interface of Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition is pretty unusual and innovative. First of all, everything  designed in the steampunk style. If to use some object you must first apply some other items on them, they are shown in the special menu all around the object - very useful, simple and pleasant.

Examining the town, trying to discover whereabouts of the steam golem and Dr. Grundlagen in Depths of Betrayal you will find an old photo from your youth, lost by the golem, just the same you have. On this photo the whole Grundlagen's team shown, including you. But some faces are crossed - golem is already find and kill them. Will you be the next victim? Or you will be able to save town from the destruction?

On your way to stop this monstrous robot in Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition you may use Integrated Strategy guide and have additional fun while playing bonus gameplay chapter. Collector's Edition also includes Wallpapers in different dimensions, based on the Depths of Betrayal thematics and Concept art from the game. In bonus gameplay you will see more lighter-than-air airships, analog computers and steam engines. If info from the strategy guide isn't enough for you - try to search the game forum.

Summing up, Depths of Betrayal game is pretty good. There is not many steampunk hidden object games right now, so if you like this genre - Depths of Betrayal is for you. As about cons: I may say that some puzzles are boring (not every of them, of course) are boring or not intuitive, so to understand it you must use Strategy guide. Hidden object scenes somethimes including to few objects to search. Those flaws didn't let me give Depths of Betrayal Collector's Edition higher rating, although I'm steampunk fun. Good luck to you, play games and be happy!
