I'm quite fond of hidden object type games and have a few loaded up on my BlackBerry. One of which is Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden. I found the game quite addictive, well I find all of them addictive, and found myself staying up late just to complete it. With hidden objects games it is more or less the same concept - tap and investigated usual areas to discover clues and actions.

In Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden, you deep dive into a lost underwater city to rescue your fiancé who has gone missing. You'll soon discover you may be dealing with supernatural forces. As you investigate further you discover many spine-chilling secrets which you must uncover and solve in order to find and rescue your fiancé.

The game is packed with mini-games and puzzles for you to complete. Throughout the game your are provided with hints but with many hidden object games if you use it, you'll have to wait for the hint to recharge before you can use it again. Though I did find, in this game, that it recharges quicker than most. You can pinch and zoom into areas to help make things easier too.

Within the mini-games, there is also the option to play an alternative mini-game in the form of dominos just to mix things up. If successful, the result is the same is completing it the normal way.
