DHGF: Apothecarium is, at first glance, a regular hidden object game. However, it does enough different to separate itself from the pack. It allows you to play a match three puzzle game instead of finding objects, and it has an in-game store that allows you to buy upgrades and consumables. This makes the game a more involved experience than the usual fare. While it might not be the best example of the genre, it’s still worth a hard look if you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path.

Apothecarium: The Renaissance of Evil is an extremely well made HOPA game with a bunch of extras for you to enjoy. We would still recommend it even if it is being released as a Collector's Edition so with Standard Edition price tag? There is no reason to hesitate!
A so-so attempt at a hidden object renaissance.
